Sadaf Restaurant in City of London, Westminster

The food is good, and served in big portions, so try to share the food instead of ordering individual meals. We didn't like the iranian salad, however rest of dishs were good specially the kebabs and rice.

As someone who has coeliac disease, eating out is usually a nightmare. However, not this time! Their naan bread is cooked in a separate tandoor-type oven so is completely separated from the grill so the risk of cross contamination with other foods.was minimised. (Naan bread looked delicious by the way and I really envied the neighbouring tables tucking in. It comes on a basket which never came near my table, so was safe for me.) Almost all of the menu, apart from the naan bread and a couple of desserts, is gluten free. The food is absolutely delicious and it's the first place where I've eaten and not expierenced any type of gluten reaction and trust me, Im super-sensitive! Disclaimer: Of course it's up to the individual whether or not they wish to take the risk and I might have just got lucky but trust me this restaurant is now on my go-to list and I will most definitely be back! #COELIACFRIENDLY, #GLUTENFREE

Bland. So, so bland. To get to 100, so, so bland. Really, really bland. Not horrible just very, very bland. (Sorry had to make up 100 characters).

The staff members are excellent, but I wouldn't choose to visit here again. Despite their friendliness, it's not a place I would return to.

The food and portions are excellent the staff are professional and helpful, the location is also very good It has good Halal food options, the rice and spice are really good

The best Iranian cuisine is only and only in the Sadaf restaurant ,very clean, quiet environment alongside very delicious food

The price is too high for the portion of meat . I have been today,6 May .The tea was not good :hot water with 3 leaves ,only for me 8,50 pound.Service charge mandatory for them of 15%. I not suggest it. Non lo consiglio :scarso rapporto qualità /prezzo. Serve per prima a tavolo chi spende di più Abbiamo preso tre secondi da 15 pound un antipasto da 7 e un te da 8,50. Circa 80 euro.

We ordered several dishes and all of them were meeting our expectations....I tried the ladies toilets and they were clean… thanks for the service

The food was absolutely delicious - the chicken wings were so tasty and succulent and the walnut pomegranate chicken stew was amazing. They have fresh bread which took a while to arrive but when it did it was great! They even gave us an NHS discount on the bill. The only issue was that the staff did not seem happy to be serving!

The food arrived luke warm, the staff were not particularly friendly.I scheduled delivery for 8.30, food arrived at 7. I asked for it to be re delivered at 8 30 and I'm pretty sure it was the same food from 7 as the meat was dry and not very warm. Won't be ordering there again.

One of my favourite Persian places, Food always consistent and amazing flavours seeking through. I have tried many Persian food however nothing beats my Sadat. We travel all the way from east London to Eat in Sadaf. The Gormeh Sabzi and koobideh are my favourite.

Since I discovered this Persian gem close to High Street Kensington, is now became one of my favourite restaurant in London. The staff amazing polite, price perfect, Food delicious, Menu rich of many different dishes. Nothing bad I can say.

Excellent service and food. We arrived 5 minutes before closing time and the owner invited us in with welcoming arms. The food and service were wonderful. Highly recommended by a hungry family with tween-kids. :-)

We visited today and our 5 yr old asked what kind of food it is as it’s delicious! The naan are tasty and the assortment of mixed cold starters was unusual, healthy and tasty. We had the weekend dish of lamb shank with rice and broad beans flavoured with fresh herbs. The staff are friendly and courteous.

100 %recommended we went for diner and everything was perfect staf was lovely and good place for lunch and dinner we ordered baghali polo with mahicheh was yummy thank you for the best service and nice food 100% come back again

This place is great! Located in the heart of London and has a great atmosphere. Very delicious authentic Persian clean food and freshly made. Everything I’ve tried was very tasty. appetizers : freshly baked Iranian bread, Hummos and mast-O-Khiar. Main course (very yummy): Chelo kabab Koobidah, khoresh basmieh (Okra stew), khoresh Sabzi, and khoresh bedmejan (aubergine stew). Dessert: Baklava and zalabia. Don’t miss the Persian tea with the dessert .. The service we received was so amazing and the stuff was very friendly! I just want to say that, in addition to a very good meal, we had a delightful treat from Mr. Mohsen. He had just the right balance of friendliness, sense of humor and efficiency. So special thanks goes to him. ‏ we will definitely be back again

The spicy chicken wings starter was good but I'm not sure about the lamb main: it was overcooked and not sure about the taste either, I've eaten much better lamb in other Persian and Turkish restaurants. The presentation wasn't that great either.The dish prices are reasonable, especially considering the area, but alcohol is really pricey. The service is a bit scatty, especially with a waitress who tends to run off without letting you finish what you are ordering. Not a disinfectant in sight. Its good point is that you don't need to book and can stay for as long as you like which, in these post-lockdown times, is something not to be sniffed at

Always jogged pass "Sadaf" when in the UK..... However now back in the UK during the lock-down and on one of my strolls decided to check it out.My meal was amazing, the portion was Great, Staff was friendly.Just one regret...... I wish I had discovered the taste of this little gem just of Kensington High Street years ago....But I have discovered it NOW! Better late than never

we were walking in High St Kensington during lock down a couple of weeks ago and we followed the aroma from the grill to discover this amazing place. We ordered it for dinner a few days later and the food was really, really good. Fresh, tasty and good value for money, so much so we had to have it again today and I am sure we will have it again and again. our new favourite restaurant!!! thank you!!!!

The quality is 8/10 in this resturant . Service is very good . Taste of is very good and price is reasonable. I recommend this resturant .

So happy to have a wonderful and reasonable Persian restaurant in Kensington. Our meal was delicious. A plus is there are traditional dishes not seen in other Persian restaurants.

Habíamos estado en su restaurante un par de veces en Westbourne Grove; fue destruido por el fuego, de ahí el cambio, y siempre me gustó: comida sencilla, personal agradable, nada ha cambiado excepto la ubicación y las nuevas instalaciones más brillantes.Si desea una buena comida a un precio razonable, con un personal amable y servicial y le gusta la cocina del Medio Oriente, le recomendamos que visite su pan recién horneado. Regresaremos.

He visitado Sadaf varias veces, con amigos y familiares. La comida es muy buena, a un precio razonable y muy sabrosa; por lo general, compartimos la selección de entrantes mixtos de Sadaf con una tarifa especial nsan. Además, el personal es muy amable y el restaurante tiene una ubicación céntrica, a unos 100 m de la estación de South Ken.

Anna was our waitress , friendly and Accomodating. Food was full of flavour and served piping hot. Portions are great and we even left with a box for the following day . Great atmosphere , would highly recommend!

They are putting out tables under their awning to allow patrons to dine in contravention of the lockdown guidelines of the government. The government has not allowed outdoor seating by cafes or beer gardens at this point.I observed them serving these guests. In fact, they use regular dishes, which really shows they are not even trying to pretend that these are take away containers.The tables in fact are not even a metre apart. They are very blatant about their disregard for the health and safety of the community they are in. We do not need a business owner like this in Kensington.

Excelente comida persa, no me puedo quejar. He estado en el restaurante y he recibido entregas varias veces desde que abrieron. Resulta que soy un ex carnívoro iraní y las opciones vegetarianas también son maravillosas. El restaurante también tiene un gran ambiente (venden alcohol pero no licores).

Hemos estado en este restaurante un par de veces, ¡nuestro hijo lo adora! Recientemente hicimos un pedido a través de Deliveroo y hasta ahora ha sido la mejor comida a domicilio en mucho tiempo. El tamaño de la porción era enorme y una excelente relación calidad-precio.La comida, aunque fue entregada, fue absolutamente increíble, sabrosa y cálida. Podía ver que hicieron un esfuerzo adicional para entregar comida increíble y mantener el nivel de calidad incluso durante la situación de COVID.Nos encanta el restaurante y la comida, y aunque no somos realmente carnívoros, ¡siempre encontramos un gran sustituto! Continuaremos ordenando la entrega hasta que el restaurante abra y luego continuaremos disfrutando de nuestras comidas en el gran ambiente del restaurante.

Its ok, the decor is nice and new but the food wasn’t good at all. The bath was very elastic and chewy. The rice was ok. The khorma Sabzi wasn’t authentic.

Staying nearby, I lighted on Sadaf for dinner, and I certainly didn't regret my choice.Started with a chopped spiced chicken salad bound with mayo which made a lovely dip to go with perhaps the best flatbread I have ever eaten - thin and crispy with a slightly charred bubbly top.I followed this with a lamb byriani which was delicious and a snip at £11 for a generous portion.Would thoroughly recommend Sadaf.

Stumbled across this place looking for lunch after the Design Museum - an excellent spot, just off Ken High Street. Excellent food all round, although particular praise goes to the shared starters and the biryani. Not cheap, but good value.

So good nice staff very friendly service was excellent I recommend the best food in the London good price

Went to this beautifully decorated restaurant today with my mum. The food was exceptional and the customer service was brilliant. The guys working there were very welcoming and gave us a great experience. We ordered the ‘chenjeh’ which was the grilled lamb cubes, it was tender and very delicious, we also received a complimentary bowl of the shirazi salad which was very nice of them. We would definitely be returning and recommend this restaurant to anyone wanting an authentic experience.

I’m visiting London, I had lunch here and the food was outstanding, not to mention the customer service was great as well! I absolutely recommend this restaurant! :)

We have been regular at Sadaf for the last 8 years, the food is always delicious and service is very good. The nee restaurant is trendy and beautiful.

We were in London for the weekend to celebrate a friend’s birthday and came across Sadaf Garden at lunchtime. The service was great and the food delicious. I had Kabab Chenjeh and Koobideh served with half rice and half salad for £14. It was a big portion for a lunch but it was really delicious! Will definitely eat here again if I am visiting this part of London in the future.

With great pleasure I highly recommend this place

Estábamos encantados cuando Sadaf abrió en nuestro vecindario. Como familia, amamos la comida persa y estamos muy familiarizados con la cocina.

ok, le di un 1 por un diseño horrible, pero la comida, alguien escribió porciones generosas, no lo creo, el kaskebademjoon era normal y realmente no tenía sabor y mi soltani favorito siempre fue la idea de alguien de una broma, baja por la calle hacia Olympia y verá un mejor restaurante persa y realmente no pagará el precio por la ubicación o la decoración, o si desea hacerlo mejor, obtenga un boleto a EE. UU. Teherán y encuentre mejores chelokababs, este lugar debería promocionarse como un té después de la tarde. se venderá mejor

fine food , very clean , friendly staff , resnople price , the new location in well known street ( high street kensington ) .

Desde que se mudó de Notting Hill a Kensington, la calidad de la comida ha disminuido considerablemente. Mi esposo y yo hemos estado yendo a Sadaf durante años y realmente nos enamoramos de la comida persa debido a Sadaf. Cuando hubo un incendio en la ubicación anterior y se cerró durante unos meses, nos rompió el corazón. Al descubrir que había reabierto en Kensington, nos apresuramos a ir, sin embargo, no es lo mismo. . . es elegante, las porciones son más pequeñas, la calidad no parece estar ahí. Echo de menos el viejo Sadaf: - (¡por favor traiga la calidad de los alimentos de un cliente fiel!

Non amo ripetermi, ma considero questo ristorante veramente la migliore scoperta di Londra: pietanze fresche, servizio eccezzionale (bravo Abin!) e il pane da sogno.

Generally the experience was not bad but also is not the best. Staff are friendly. Atmosphere is good. Food was not to the standard. I will say below average. 3 out of 5

Went here for dinner with my husband, food was wonderful service was brilliant atmosphere was great.... Will definately be back again

Had lunch here on a quiet day. Service was mediocre. Food was fine and the portions were large. Prices are in line with restaurants in this area.

This restaurant was a pleasant surprise for us. We were travelling to London and were arriving late and just wanted something to eat that was close to the hotel, tasty and available (dinner). This was such a great find because we enjoyed the food SO MUCH. The food is done exceptionally well here. The meat is flavourful, moist and well seasoned with spices. There are plenty of options on the menu to order although I find the meat specific items to be the tastiest.

The food was served very quickly after placing the order. The waiters were very friendly and attentive.

Desde el momento en que abrimos la puerta y entramos, todos los que nos atendieron nos dieron una cálida bienvenida.

Really great except that they do not give any side stuff like soumak or butter packs which is quite stingy

The food was disgusting I would like a full refund please!!!!

Visited with friends for dinner, food was very tasty, authentic and reasonably priced with good service. Overall good experience and recommended

A lover of Persian food I went the day before to another restaurant in London, higher rated than Sadaf, and really did not enjoy it. I was back on familiar territory this time though when choosing Sadaf.

This is one of the good Persian restaurants in London price is very affordable and very tasty all the Persian flavor is there. One comment only, the need to pay attention to the restaurant hygiene especially the bathrooms which is very disgusting

Very tasty. Huge portions. Great value for money

I was London with my Mother this time, I took her to some restaurants but, left this one for a later visit I did't want to miss the admiration look on her face. This restaurant surprised every guest I went with. The food is superb and the friendliness of the staff is what makes it Sadaf.

Great value for the price, perfect and fast service, fresh food, perfect lamb kebab and naan. Asked to change some things from the menu and it was not a problem

Staying nearby and looking for more than just fish and chips (which had already been done the night before), we gave this place and its Persian food a try. Place was authentic Persian, dishes were large, appetizer sampler was amazing, and prices were where one would expect in the £12 to £14 range. Crunchy rice was a bit overdone compared to some previous experiences. Rest of the food was flavorful and savory.

We visited Sadaf last week Saturday. I have always walked past but it never really appealed to me. We went in and ordered the Salad Oliveh, Mirza Gassimi( not as good as Alounak) and Humous with Fresh bread. We ordered the Grill for 2 at £35.00 and it could feed 5/6. Very good tender meat and the waiters were happy to change some of the skewers to another item such as the koobideh. All the good was well seasoned and extremely tasty. I was very impressed with the service staff who was very accommodating and always were on hand.

Faster than expected delivery. Food was tasty and the chicken very tender.

Conozco este lugar desde hace muchos años, pero nunca escuché a nadie que me lo recomendara, hasta que lo aprendí por mí misma la otra noche. Me mudé a la zona, así que ordené algunos de mis platos favoritos a través de plataformas en línea. La comida llegó tan rápido que fue genial, sin embargo, la comida no sabía nada que yo supiera. Ghormeh Sabzi es un popular plato de estofado persa; su ghormeh sabzi es simplemente terrible. Sin sabor y absolutamente aguados.

Best fresh food you could have. Staff is nice and friendly. Their lamb skewers are the most tenders I ever had.

I've eaten there before. Rlly good food, good portion sizes. The fresh baked bread is fantastic. They gave me an extra bread. I'd always recommend

Did not enjoy it. Said driver had an accident, so they are preparing new food on 3rd call after 1 hour wait. How can they prepare new food in 5 minutes cos next driver turned up within 15 mins after my call to restaurant for the 4th time and food was cold.

Always love getting takeaway from this place. Great food, quick delivery and a reasonable price.

Abbiamo cenato in questo ristorante persiano nella zona di Bayswater e abbiamo apprezzato molto la tenerissima carne di agnello grigliata servita con abbondante riso basmati. Abbiamo preso anche un'insalata mista, abbondante e saporita. Ottimo il pane naan. L'ambiente è molto informale, il personale gentilissimo. Molto simpatico il gestore. Servizio veloce e preciso. Abbiamo telefonato per prenotare, ci è stato detto che non era possibile, ma potevamo provare a passare, senza poterci comunque garantire un tavolo. Siamo stati fortunati. Prezzo adeguato. Torneremo per assaggiare altri piatti. Adatto per famiglie.

One of the best Persian restaurants in London, delicious, affordable and clean! I highly recommend it ;)

We always go for this place when we want good quality iranian food. Their service has never let us down with how ever many times we Beeb and however busy it is. Food is always always consistent in quality.

Back again after 2 years and well worth the trip. Busy on a Friday night. Lamb biryani excellent with the ban bread and humus

great food and generous portions.

Amazing food all round and huge portions. The service is also great. We thoroughly enjoyed it and meals are around £11-15 each.

Visited on my first day in London. The food was good and the Hot naan bread is amazing can’t get it out of my head. Loved the fact that there’s a couple of small tables outside and not just indoor as you can drink your tea outside watching passerby’s after eating inside. Recommended.

The food is simply amazing You will get the best Iranian taste with a reasonable price The staff are friendly and welcoming The food is halal

Enjoyed this restraunts food. The meat was cooked nicely and the naan breads were fresh! All at a very good price.

Sitio recomendable para quien le guste la comida persa Económico y personal muy agradable Segunda vez que vamos,todo perfecto

We were here whilst visiting London and were absolutely delighted with this food! Being from the Isle of Skye we have very limited choice in foods but having been given this recommendation by our cabby during the day we had to go and were not disappointed! It was so fresh and delicious! We also loved the fact you could see your naan being rolled and baked in front of your eyes! I’d eat here every night! Even the kids loved it. Owner is lovely as are staff. Highly recommend and will definitely be back here when we are next in London.

Cenamos esta noche en este restaurante iraní, la estructura y la configuración del lugar estaban bien, más mesas para un espacio tan limitado, alguien tiene que maniobrar para sentarse especialmente en los asientos contra las paredes.

The Sadaf restaurant is not a very expensive. The food cooked great. They make bread on spot. Very fresh read. They cook Persian foo. The servers were very great and friendly. You feel at home

Il ristorante era vicinissimo al ns Hotel e su di una via molto carina, i ragazzi che ci lavorano sono davvero gentili e disponibili. Per quanto riguarda il cibo io consiglio la grigliata mista (che viene servita con 2 piatti giganti di riso basmati) con almeno 2 antipasti di accompagno (noi abbiamo preso hummus e una salsa alle olive buonissima) insieme al loro pane fatto in casa meraviglioso. Se pensate che sia troppo prendete solo le costolette di agnello, deliziose! Bravissimi ragazzi

Ate here last week. Lamb kebab and rice was v tasty. Naan with sesame was bang on and green chilli sauce a triumph. I'd visit here again with out a doubt

Food was not bad but was more geared towards Indian. Typical Iranian food is not spicy but Sadaf’s menu was. The waiter didn’t come to us once to ask if we needed anything or if food was ok .

4 of us ate here on a Saturday evening. Very popular with locals. Service quick and attentive. I had lamb chops which came with rice and a salad. Tasty but not a lot there. Still hungry. Breads and humus were fantastic. Friends had skewered lamb and a biryani which they were happy with. 80 pound including a drink each. Not bad

Koubbiddeh (lamb skewers) are absolutely delicious. Very friendly service. Bread made in their own oven.

Nice atmosphere, clean and quick service. Both my wife and I enjoyed a tasty Iranian food and this time with g;lass of wine. Very nice restaurant and highly recommended.

Très bonne qualité, y sommes allés plusieurs fois, jamais déçus. les brochettes de viande sont recommandées (notamment kabab soltani), et les mezze avec naan spécial (cuit au four traditionnel devant vous)

Best Persian food by far. It’s authentic, tasty, big portions, always busy which is a good sign. I always go for the lamb chops, lamb biriyani, mast-o-mousir and naaskhatoon 👌🏽👌🏽consistent every time!

Friendly staff, delicious food and good value for money i will give them 5*****. I absolutely recommend this restaurant,

Sadaf's is ALWAYS busy. There's good reason too; it's amazing.

This is a Persian restaurant we happened to chance upon whilst walking towards another place. We decided to try it given the packed crowd and the smells coming out.

The street has several middle eastern restaurants but do try the Sadaf; you won’t regret it. Great Iranian food, large number of choices, including some vegetarian choices with reasonable prices make this a great choice. The kebabs were succulent, the breads amazing. Best of all was the friendly service.

Good enough Sadaf I order jello Kabab with rice And stew Service good Prices moderate Staff friendly Location nice

I expected the food to be of a better quality for london especially compared with some other similar cuisine in the same street

Last night myself and 3 friends went to Sadaf on the recommendation of a friend, the food was fantastic the service and staff were fantastic and what a great evening rounded of with fragrant tea and pastries. Recommend to this morning to a friend who has family visiting from the USA, great place to eat.

The Sadaf restaurant is a good Persian restaurant serving tasty meats, delicious sides and freshly baked flatbreds. It has a nice ambiance.

We initially were not headed to this restaurant but we walked by and saw the great plates of food that were being eaten by the patio customers and we knew this was the place.

من افضل المطاعم الايراني فيه لندن و انصحك تجربون جيلو كباب قوي حيل حيل و دلك عن طريق تجربه شخصيه ممكن الاراء تتخلف بس هو كا مطعم بالنسبه لي افضل المطاعم في لندن

This resturant serves persian dishes... Really delicious food especially the grills... kebab and kuftah... The traditional bread ( nan) is deliciouc too. the service is so quick and the staff are awesome.. Totally recommended.

Ayer visité Sadaf con mis hermanas y estaba parado por una mesa por unos 10 minutos antes de que alguien se nos acercó. Intentamos preguntar el dueño pero él simplemente me ignoró y punto en blanco, y se fue a actuar muy ignorantes todo el tiempo que estuvimos allí. La comida era fantástica pero su actitud tremendamente me desanime.

Buscamos el restaurante después de conducir por el autobús #7 y viendo cómo animado parecía tanto por dentro como por fuera. Los comentarios estamos prometiendo y nos hizo nuestra decisión. No nos decepcionó! Éramos un grupo de cuatro, compartiendo la muestra mixta chapuzón y dos grandes naan, una ensalada de la casa, y 3 platos principales (todos los corderos, y todo estaba delicioso). El servicio era estupendo, y diners en mesas contiguas eran amables. Muy recomendable lugar para comer en Queensway cerca de Bayswater.

Atendimento perfeito, pratos deliciosos e preços justos para Londres. Adoramos a visita.... a kafta é fantástica!

Very good food. Friendly staff. Not great interiors but the food is worth going there. Though they will recommend regular dishes, I would recommend Lamb Biriyani and the Lamb Shank. Very tender and very nice.

Went in on a whim, staff where great, food was simple but soooo tasty. Just a very pleasant evening. Thank you
