    Filet mignon (barg). Melts in your mouth!

    We've been customers of Sadaf for years ever since they first opened. Our favorite dish was the juicy chicken but tonight what they gave us was absolutely terrible. Dry chicken breast with no taste. First they ruined the kabob koobideh, then the stews lost their quality and now the tasty chicken. What an absolute shame. Won't be going back. We'd rather drive an hour to Glendale to get real tasty Persian food than drive 12 minutes to get poor quality food. Only reason for second star is their service. Food doesn't deserve a single star.

    We asked our waitress to take a group photo with us because she was interested in our bikes

    We were in the Malibu area and decided to come here for lunch. We were seated right away, Leyla was absolutely a delight to speak to. She was in charge and very confident in handling a group of 8 men who may or may not have been loud and obnoxious at times. She made suggestions, she agreed to every single request and everything came out in time, not a single mistake. As usual, the food was incredibly delicious and always a wonderful experience when we come here. The place is emaculate, clean, classy, the wait staff is friendly and helpful. We will always opt to come here whenever we are north of the Valley. Thanks you Leyla!!!! By the way, she's in the photo with our group.

    We had a superb experience. Our neighbor suggested the place and treated us. The restaurant has lovely decor and is very clean. The food was absolutely delicious. We each had an entree and then Armenian coffee and lastly Dubai chocolate. The server was just wonderful. She was pleasant and friendly and really made our experience positive.

    Loved Sadaf!!!! My Persian man said it was as if he was eating a home cooked meal :) We got the Gheimeh Bademjan and Ghormeh Sabz- both vegetarian, both delicious. Each entree comes with a generous serving of rice and tadig. It was enough for almost two meals each! We ordered pick up- the staff were very very friendly and the space was nice! Inside and outside dining, and a cute bar area. Parking is free and in the back, then you walk down to the main street to find the entrance. We will be back!!

    Eggplant appetizer

    It was our first visit here and we enjoyed our lunch here. The eggplant appetizer was so yummy! If you love eggplant, definitely get that to share. It's a big portion! The beef koobideh didn't disappoint either. Restaurant is big with a bar. Service was friendly. Will return to try other dishes!

    Boneless lamb kabobs with saffron rice, juicy barbecued tomato, onions and capsicum. SOMAGH & BREAD on the side.

    What can I say went well? The food/the ambience/service ? All went great, felt welcomed and satisfied at the end of a busy work day.

    We came here for a birthday on a Friday night and were able to get seated immediately for 6 (although a recommendation is probably recommended). I don't eat a lot of Persian food but everything tasted fresh and authentic. We ordered the combo stew, combo appetizer, combo #5, and lamb rack. My standouts were the lentil stew, hummus, and lamb rack. I ordered the dough drink as well, which is a yogurt-y, dill drink, and it was good but not to my taste. Service was great!

    Beef Koobideh
    Boj o.

    Spectacular!!! The food, service and friendly vibe made our experience worth while. The food spoke for itself. The beef koobideh was like wagyu tender and juicy. My wife had the juicy chicken (literally) and it was one of the best chicken kabobs I ever had. Our mouth was savoring on every bite. It was insane! Our brains can't keep up on how to process the flavors. Please do yourself a favor. If you're planning to go to Raffi's Place, do yourself a favor and come to this place. You won't be disappointed. Next time we'll try their 3 stew dishes and more kabobs!

I ordered the salmon plate, and it was flavorful and fresh. The hummus was yummy, the side salad was lightly dressed, and the salmon and rice were well flavored and filling. It also comes with a large piece of pita bread. The pricing is comparable to other places serving similarly healthy food. This is close to where my client works and it was a good place to have a casual meeting and get some lunch. There is indoor seating, but it is a tiny space so eating outdoors is more comfortable. There's a Boba spot next-door and Starbucks is right across the parking lot in case the meeting runs long and we need our sugar/caffeine fix!
