Sadaf London - Finest Persian Cuisine in City of London, Westminster

A very good Persian restaurant. Service was good and the staff is very nice. The food was amazing with reasonable prices and very very generous portions! We’ll definitely come back again.

The kitchen is very unhygienic, the toilet is next to the kitchen in the basement, the toilet is in front of the dining tables on the ground floor, the quality of the food is low but expensive. They are generally very weak and dirty.

A delicious Iranian restaurant.. We ordered kashk appetizers with fresh Arabic bread.. and kebab with green rice.. and chicken biryani.. and all of them were delicious.. Brother Mehdi served us very kindly.

Sadaf Restaurant exceeded all my expectations! The portions were incredibly generous, and each dish was bursting with authentic, mouth-watering flavors. From the perfectly seasoned kebabs to the fluffy rice, every bite was a delight. The environment was both cozy and beautifully inviting, offering the perfect setting for a relaxed meal. What made the experience even better was the fantastic service—the staff and owner were so friendly and welcoming, making us feel like valued guests from the moment we walked in. I can’t recommend Sadaf Restaurant enough for anyone craving delicious food in a warm and friendly atmosphere!

We had a wonderful evening at Sadaf on Friday, introducing some friends to Persian cuisine for the first time. They absolutely loved it—especially the Koobideh, lamb chops, and Doogh. We ordered the mixed platter for two; it was a bit pricey, as expected for central London, but well worth it in my opinion. We’ll definitely be back for future occasions!

The best Persian food in London!! We loved it! 100% recommended!! The stuff very friendly and the food delicious

Loved the small grilled chicken and special naan. Friendly service

Amazing food! I would eat the lamb chops for breakfast, lunch and dinner every day of the week! Highly recommend!!!

Great food, amazing flavors. So glad we stumbled on this place!

excellent experience enormous portion everything so tasty esp lamb chop

If you’re in Westbourne Grove and craving Persian food, Sadaf is an absolute must-visit. This spot combines a warm, traditional atmosphere with incredibly flavorful food that will transport your taste buds straight to the heart of Iran. The menu at Sadaf offers a wonderful variety of Persian dishes, from succulent kebabs to fragrant rice and flavorful stews. Their Kabab Koobideh is a standout—perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection, juicy and tender with every bite. The service is just as wonderful as the food. The staff are attentive, friendly, and more than happy to make recommendations or explain anything on the menu. You never feel rushed, and there’s a genuine sense of hospitality that makes the experience even more enjoyable. One thing to note is that the restaurant can get busy, especially during peak hours, so it’s worth booking in advance to secure a table. But whether you’re dining with friends or having a quiet meal for two, Sadaf offers an authentic Persian dining experience that’s hard to beat in Westbourne Grove. Don’t forget to try the their starters alongside their freshly baked naan; Kashk Bademjoon and Salad Olivier (Russian Salad) is a must-have.

I was invited to dinner by a colleague from Iran at this traditional Persian restaurant in London. The restaurant offers a nice selection of meals with a simple menu. The portions are quite generous, including two skewers of well-prepared lamb mince kebab and fresh made naan. The staff are also quite friendly.

Lovely decorations and fresh bread. The staff were friendly and welcoming. Nice food. The dessert (Bastani) and tea were heavenly.

Amazing food, friendliest customer service, I’v had at the restaurant and the staff are brilliant. Highly recommend.

Bland food not much flavour and very dry

Absolutely incredible food. I’ve never had such authentic Persian food in London - there is a reason why I’ve been coming for years! The kobideh is an absolute winner dish! And the bread which is freshly baked is just out of this world! The team and service is amazing and it’s hands down an amazing meal every single time we visit.

We had soup, salad and minced lamb, which we shared. Portions were very very generous. Good value for money. Food was amazing, tasty and full of flavour. We’ll definitely come back again.

Great and delicious food. Will order again. I also received 2 naan bread when I told them my previous order was missing bread. Thank you

Best Persian restaurant I have been to. Really good food.

Excellent and the rice is delicious An Iranian restaurant with good food

Very tasty, friendly staff and cosy atmosphere

Foods great! But let down by the slow service and also how tight the seating is within the restaurant.

I recently ordered from Sadaf Restaurant and was thoroughly impressed with the entire experience. The delivery was prompt and the food arrived hot and fresh. Every dish was delicious, especially the Kenab, which was a highlight of the meal. The attention to detail and quality of the food made for a fantastic dining experience at home. I highly recommend Sadaf for anyone looking for great food and reliable delivery service. Thank you for a wonderful meal!

Such a delicious meal and absolutely quality food

Great food, huge portions. You can share a portion. Many dishes and good wine list.

I had an awful experience at this restaurant. They claim to serve Persian food, but it’s nothing like it—complete false advertising. The worst part? They reheated the kebab in a microwave! The meat was tasteless, and disgusting, and the rest of the food was just as bad. If you’re expecting a real meal, avoid this place. Truly disappointing.

The best persian restaurant in london The real taste of healthy and fresh food

Excellent food; great portions; cozy atmosphere.

Everything was great. The food was delicious and fresh. The environment was beautiful and clean. We got a free tea as a gift. They were very kind

I love going to Sadat. The food is consistently great every time I visit with my wife. The two brothers who own the restaurant are always so kind and lovely, and the staff is efficient and friendly. I definitely recommend it.

A good location A good welcome Good service! The food is super super good!!! I highly recommend!!

Couldn’t be happier! I love Persian food. But this one… took my breath away!

Delicious food with Friendly service

Amazing tender kebabs with amazing service! Recommended to all if you are in the area 😊

The restaurant is very beautiful The food is amazing and very clean I rate Haqq Al Mutahim 10/10 in everything

I recently had pleasure of dining at resturant ,and it was an forgettable experience .from the moment i walked in ,I was greeted with a warm and welcoming atmosphere.the dècor is elegant yet cozy ,creatingthe perfect ambiance for a relaxing meal . And the staf they are very lovely

The waiter today was incredibly rude and kept swearing in farsi because a toddler was playing with salt shaker he was loudly shouting insults avoid at all costs

just wasting time , I do not recommend it

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Sadaf finest Persian cuisine , and it was a delightful experience from start to finish. And the restaurant has a modern yet cozy atmosphere with warm lighting and traditional decor.It’s perfect for a romantic dinner or a special occasion. The service was impeccable. Our waiter was attentive without being intrusive and made excellent recommendations. The staff were courteous and ensured we had everything we needed. The food was simply outstanding. We started with the special soup of the day, which was rich and flavorful. For the main course, I had the jujeh kebab, which were perfectly cooked and beautifully presented. The portions were generous, and every dish was fresh and delicious. While Sadaf is on the pricier side, the quality of the food and service justifies the cost. The experience felt luxurious and well worth the price. Overall, my experience at Sadaf was exceptional. The combination of excellent service, exquisite food, and a pleasant atmosphere made for a memorable evening. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a fine dining experience.

Fantastic service , and delicious food Will visit again for sure The guys who makes bread is super kind and funny 👍

Worth visiting this place lovely staff and the best food specially lamb shank

Food is great. Service is even better.

Food was really good. Parking can be a nightmare. Staff are friendly. I would recommend.

This has to be the best feed i have had in a long time. Beautiful atmosphere and absolutely delicious food. I have never in my life eaten this well, if i ever find myself on death row i will choose my last meal from Sadaf.

Very bad experience in this restaurant. The waiter who served us was incredibly gruff and lacking in manners. The waiters are clumsy and hasty to the point that in passing they gave me a plate on the head and a second time they dropped a dirty knife, staining my white trousers. They barely apologized for the damage and gave me soaked tissues. My wife had a dish that was supposed to have no chilli but was then served super-spicy. Even though he didn't touch it, they made him pay full price. To conclude, VERY NOISY, narrow and chaotic place. Perfect only for those who want to gorge themselves on low quality rice and creams and pay too high prices. Not recommended.

For me, the best Iranian restaurant is that they have chicken biryani and kebab with rice. Frankly, it is the best restaurant in London. The price compared to the prices of other restaurants is reasonable, and all the workers are kind, especially Brother Dilman. I thank them all.

Good food . Friendly staff. Ask for Mr.Dilma's special dish !!!! Thank you for the experience

Portions are big and food is tasty .very welcoming and friendly.Thank you Mr. Dilma for the hospitality . Highly recommended 👌

Burnt dry kabob and when I called the restaurant the manager was rude refused to sort out the issue referring me to Just eat! This is now the second time my order was burnt. Will never order or buy food from Sadaf again.

Very attentive service, food was absolutely delicious and great portion size.

Delicious food, and great hospitality!!

The best Persian food in London. Lovely staff, great food and exceptional customer service!! I highly recommend it

Amazing restaurant and amazing food, I highly recommend!

You know what, one of the better Persian restaurants in London. Food is actually great - I had the Paneer sabzi with naan (which was a bit dry), and also the Soltani that's Barg and Kubideh. Portion sizes are perfect to make sure you walk out full, and prices are reasonable to match.

Excellent restaurant. Food was amazing. Staff were very friendly and accommodated a large group last minute. The whole Family enjoyed the meal with excellent service. Thank you. We will come back again

I was invited to this wonderful dining Persian Cuisine, as part of a group and I have to say that it couldn’t have been better. Staff and hospitality were kind and efficient, the food was delicious, and I most definitely plan to return soon.

good service, good people, & great atmosphere!!

Amal Iranian Jameel is recommended for the family

I believe the soup gone off and i will keep it to go somewhere to checkout

Great service, Good quality, Will buy again and highly recommended!

I havnt received my order ,after been waiting for 2 hours waiting,and the restaurant said the driver delivered the food to my room,as I have 3 years old baby and been starving,terrible experience ,please be aware,don’t order from this restaurant as they are going to rip u off

Mahdi is fabulous Thank you for the wonderful service.

When visiting London for a few days, our group decided to try out a Persian restaurant, and we are so glad we did. This establishment provided an absolutely wonderful dining experience that left us raving about the food, service, and ambiance. The highlight of the meal was undoubtedly the hummus. As self-proclaimed hummus enthusiasts, we were thrilled to find that this restaurant serves an "amazing" version that we were encouraged to sample different varieties of. The staff's generosity in providing tastings showcased their passion for sharing the best of Persian cuisine. Beyond the hummus, the overall food quality was exceptional. The comment praises "everything" about the meal, indicating a consistency in deliciousness across the menu. This is further emphasized by the diner's pure happiness and satisfaction with the entire dining experience. The staff also deserve high praise( espiecially MAHDI), being described as "so kind and so generous." Their attentive service and valuable menu recommendations contributed greatly to making this a memorable visit.

The food arrived cold and tasted different. I asked the driver why it took 25 minutes to deliver. He lied, stating there was a marathon. There aren't any marathons in london today

Been visiting this place for years! Our favourite family dine out place. Amazing tasty food and service

My order did not arrive and I didn’t receive it

4 plates of fish (Seabas) with 4 promgranate juice and one mezze for 171,98£, ridiculous, taste is low quality and staff is extremely unkind as I called them via phone and also hangs up on my face, such disrespectful and unpleasant experience with them.

Nice food. Lovely staff. Will be back. 👌

The best Iranian restaurant in London, it’s a must go their kebab,rice, and hummus are really delicious. Staff were super friendly and did a quick and an amazing service.

I ordered with lamb vegetarian

I found it to be an excellent Persian food restaurant. I tried a cubed chicken and a Chicken Biryani and I really liked them both. Highly recommended and they sell wine.

Terrible would describe the food, Persian only by name!!

Lovely restaurant. Been going there for 10 years and will forever use it when I’m local

Food lookes and tastes wonderful, with on the spot baked naan and a starter mix that is on its own worth the trip. Great service and an overall great experience on our visit. Thanks!

The place is good and the food is great, especially the meat kebab with rice and chicken biryani

Both food and reception, everything was great. I really thank the management for everything

Lovely food, ruined by very rude bad customer service from manager, the rest of the staff are great and hard working.

Excellent Persian food, tasty & delicious. Make sure to get fresh oven baked Naan, it will melt in your mouth. Cheers

Superb Persian restaurant! The welcome is charming, the dishes delicious and the value for money perfect. This is an excellent discovery, I highly recommend

Tasty, friendly, great portions... a sure win!

Don't know why that younger guy even works there - makes you want to never go back. Grillandia is great alternative.

Delicious and authentic food, flatbread is traditionally made. Friendly staff.

Mediocre food. Lamb was very tough and underseasoned. Rice had a rubbery texture. Service not great, missed parts of our order. Brought something at the start and did not tell us what it was??

One of the best Middle Eastern restaurants, very delicious We tried okra with rice Meat kofta with rice And mixed appetizers We tried an Iranian dish that I think is called Mirza Laziz The service is amazing, kind and respectful, and their prices are very reasonable. I highly recommend it

Amazing food and very attentive wait staff. Will definitely be back!

Very nice food and very fast delivery

Fantastic evening...the spicy kobedda kebab was awsome along with the lamb Shank!

This is not chicken biryani, it’s chicken fried rice. Stuff are not attentive. Only good things is Tea .

The food is delicious. The prices of the dishes are some reasonable and some are... Overpriced especially the appetizers

I can only recommend the grill plate, the meat is very well seasoned. You should also try the Ayran. 10/10

Completely Tasteless. Waste of money

Customer more than 10 years ago, the welcome was good, the food is good, the bread coming out of the traditional oven was good, we recommend this restaurant.

Even macdonald is better than here Worst staff, and worst restaurant ever, they were so rude and unrespectable staff I've ever seen. The quality of food and everything else was zero, specially the service. As an iranian my self, i won't recommend this place at all.

That is what I call chicken wings and the kabab was banging absolutely loved it all arrived fresh and hot

Your chicken biryani is magical.

Food not my cup of tea. Bland.

Baby chicken and lamb chops were not fresh. Chicken tasted a bit like lamb despite these being separate dishes in separate boxes. The grilled tasted a bit artificial, as if some substance was used for the fire. Sorry, won't order again.

The kebabs were not adequately cooked

The main food was very delicious- Joojeh/chicken kebab and Koobideh kebab. Tried Mirza Ghasemmi as side dish- was ok but not so tasty. The place was also a bit cramped/ I guess expected for a joint in Bayswater. Will definitely visit again but will skip starters and probably for take away.

My order wasn’t delivered it’s written delivered. Restaurant number doesn’t dial either
