This restaurant is absolutely wonderful! The food was incredibly tasty, and we especially enjoyed the shared plates that allowed us to sample a bit of everything.
The flavors were outstanding. We tried the Persian Bread, Saffron Rice, The Dip Platter, The Doogh, The Lamb Shank, and the Koobideh. We also tried a shared a Mixed Grill Platter.
Every dish was delightful; the meat was cooked to perfection, incredibly tender, making it some of the best lamb I've ever had.
The salads were wonderfully fresh, and the bread was simply divine.
Everything was beautifully presented, and the staff was exceptional.
Great food but very plain. Didn't taste any flavour. I will have to return and try something else . The bread was really nice and fresh! Chicken cooked perfectly but needs some salt and spices.
I have been there for the first time. Sadaf is a lovely place to eat. I had to wait for few minutes because there were people already waiting in queue. Anyway, it was worth waiting. I wanted to try Chelo Kebabs with few more dishes which I did and wow i was chummeshwari💋 food. Two staff members, Hameed and Muhammad looked after us during my stay. It was grand. The atmosphere, the feel, the mood before & after was remained great. Thank you Sadaf.
Amazing food, very juicy and tasty! Good price for portion. You can tell they use high quality saffron from the aroma of kebabs. I I recommend 100%
Persian food is always amazing and this place is a testament to that. Love the prawn biryani from Sadaf! Always delicious.
Tried the Gormeh Sabzi and it was so good. Also want to mention all the staff here are so friwndly and helpful!

Randomly decided to go here and was the best decision we made. Top notch persian food! Highly recommend the kebabs, biryani and make sure to try the naan which they make on the spot. They were also very baby friendly and staff were helpful.
Gem of a restaurant in London!.. we enjoyed the food and especially the warm nans from the tandoor!.. everything was fresh and delicious and service was great!.. one star less as it was a Saturday and it was super busy and loud!.. but not the restaurants fault if it’s so popular😉
The food is good, authentic, great quality of lamb, fresh food, some more tasty than others, the ambience needs work and the service overall is good.
One of the good Persian restaurant around. Always busy and they always try their best to get you a table after 10-15mins wait. The food is very good. Love their special naan, mirza ghazemi could be better and the mince lamb/chicken kobideh both very tasty and less
Salty than other restaurants, loved it here. Service was good too. Will definitely be back and recommend it.
Went here for dinner last night. I live very close to it so have been a couple of times. Firstly the food - amazing Persian food really. I would recommend the spicy or normal koobideh as well as any of their warm starters with the bread. The bread is so so good and comes out fresh and hot! Every time I’ve ordered it in I’ve regretted it as it’s not good cold. The ambiance is nice too with garden vibes. Only downside is the staff are not attentive - in the sense that they have to prompted for everything (bill,order, drinks etc). Sitting outside in the summer is so nice!
Excellent food, though portions were too big, better to just order the main dish unless you are incredibly hungry. The rice was beautifully prepared. The service was efficient but just a bit casual. The flatbread was made individually for each order. A very nice restaurant.

It’s been a while since I’ve been at the game, but there’s no rest for the wicked.
I fancied Persian and stumbled across Sadaf. The reviews looked promising, so I took the risk.
The staff were quite friendly and settled us swiftly. The aesthetic and decor had a modern touch, which was nice.
As tradition states, we got the koobideh with rice and naan, some spicy wings, lamb chops and chicken biryani.
The koobideh was absolutely tremendous - soft and succulent, packed with flavour and each bite felt divine. The rice was beautifully cooked and was paired superbly with the pickled cabbage! A twist from the usual salad. The naan was super fresh and tasty, however became firm instantaneously due to its thin nature - this was a shame. The lamb chops were nice, but a little firm for my liking - I wouldn’t be getting them again. The spicy wings were packed with flavour and melted in my mouth. The chicken biryani was very interesting, with the grilled courgettes and tomatoes, and caramelised onions within - that was wholesome foods with juicy chicken.
I was pretty impressed, especially as there was consistency between the 2 visits. If I’m around Kensington, I’d certainly lean towards visiting Sadaf for authentic and quality Persian cuisine. 8/10.
Great food and service at this Iranian restaurant.
Wonderful flavours and freshly cooked . Starters yogurt dips various flavours a must ! Freshly baked thin bread. Perfectly cooked basmati rice served with lamb and chichen kebabs, and Gormeh sabsi, lamb and kidney bean stew absolutely delicious!!
Highly recommend this place, reasonably priced for great food...
Very homely Persian food. Good decent food portion size and well lit space. Enjoyed my meal for sure.
Excellent service, food came out quick was very tasty, juicy and full of flavour. The freshly made naan bread is a must. Very reasonably priced with large portions 😋
