رستوران صدف یکی از بهترین رستوران‌های ایرانی در کلن است. محیطی تمیز، دل‌انگیز و صمیمی با پرسنل بسیار خوش‌برخورد و حرفه‌ای دارد. غذاها عالی و با کیفیت بالا هستند، مخصوصاً کباب برگ و کوبیده که بسیار خوشمزه و تازه‌اند. تجربه‌ای لذت‌بخش و کاملاً توصیه‌شده! read more

First of all: downgraded from 2 to 1 star, because the owner asked Yelp to remove the negative comment. Here is what I wrote a couple years ago: Doesn't really matter if it is Persian or Iranian, the food is on the edge. Even thought the veggies appear to be fresh the meat tastes, if at all, quite old. Fries are definitely not part of the restaurant's special cuisine. The other extras are of medium quality, some are worse. Even the ketchup is of poor quality. If this is your first encounter with Persian/Iranian cuisine don't be too disappointed. If you find the right place Persian/Iranian food can be quite tasty. read more

Hervorragendendes Ambiente und ein tolles Essen. Sehr zuvorkommendes Personal. Zucker im Umgang mit Mensch und Hund. Kommen immer wieder gerne. Liebe Grüße aus Mainz read more

Update: that is the case when you dine in, if you order delivery, 80% of the time the food is just bad, once they recognize you and see multiple orders from you they tend to send stale meat and use low-quality or expired (or about to be expired) ingredients to save costs, but if you dine in they'd likely serve well. I recommend purely dine-in if you MUST, otherwise to be avoided at best. read more

I should first give a disclaimer to this review: Prior to dining at Sadaf, I had never tried Persian/Irianian food in my life. Looking for something new and different, we decided to give this small restaurant in the Altstadt-Süd neighborhood a try. So, that being said, I'm not sure if my indifference to the food was because of the restaurant's quality or simply because I don't care for Persian cuisine in general. On the positive side, Sadaf does offer one a very pleasant dining experience. The intimate setting has good atmosphere along with excellent service. The restaurant was almost completely full by 7:30, but it still retained a nice ambiance and sound level. The food was interesting, to say the least. The highlight for me was the Vorspeise soup that I ordered. Made with mint, linsen, and red beans, it was unique and delicious. The main courses consisted of wide range of kebap meals as well as some rice and stew dishes as well. The cuisine makes much use of various Middle Eastern herbs, lemon, and saffron all of which gives the food a different taste than what you may be used to. I was slightly disappointed with the meat quality of the lamb dish that I had. Plus the substantial use of lemon gave the meal an unpleasant acidity. On the whole, it was a really positive experience, but I don't think that I will be going back soon. read more

It's more than a year since we ate there but during 2011-2013 we were there for lots of times. They know how too cook Persian/iranian food (the worst and unfair score I can give them is 9 out of 10). I have tried almost all that they have on their menu, they were Great. The staff are polite, friendly and helpful (in helping customers know the foods and decide). Reasonable prices. Definitely will go there when I have a chance to go to Cologne. Do not forget to reserve a table specially on holidays and weekends. read more

Warm ambience, mixed clientele of couples, families - friendly family feel from staff. Kashk e bademjan and joojeh kabob were lovely - and each dish was well presented. They do take out. Have added to favourites! read more

First let me state that, my standards for Persian restaurants are a bit high because I'm used to the restaurants in Southern California. The service here is great. My disappointment is with the Kabab dishes I'm still not sure what the difference in meat was, but there's room for improvement. The stews were perfect. What I'd love to see on the menu is Tadig. read more

Arrived around 5:30pm for dinner on a Sunday evening. Restaurant was quite busy but we were seated immediately as there were only 2 of us. The vibe in the restaurant was fantastic with great music and a lot of excitement at each table. Extremely helpful and friendly staff with fantastic food. Recommend the Sadaf Kabab and Djudje Filet. Happy we stumbled upon this restaurant. read more
