    Beef Shish Kabob and Chicken Koobideh
    Chris S.

    I Woodland Hills today and thought we would try some Persian food. Found this place due to the high review score. I got the Beef Soltani and a half order of Dolma. My wife got a plate with a skewer of Beef Shish Kabob and a Chicken Koobideh. The dolmas were good. The Soltani plate was large. A lot of meat. The beef Shish Kabob was the best. I wasn't fond of the grould beef. I also tried the ground chicken skewer. It was okay. The service was good. This is definitely a hole in the wall restaurant. Overall, I wasn't that impressed

    Delicious fresh food! My parents love coming here. Service is great and the owners are very friendly. I've had their wrap before and we've ordered almost all the plates. Side of hummus is so creamy and good. Walnut stew is so unique tasting. The lentil soup is great too!! Loved it all!

    Great hole in the wall spot serving up authentic Persian for incredibly reasonable prices. All their plates are around the $11.99 mark and are extremely generous and delicious. Employees were amicable and prompt.

    This is my first time at this little restaurant. It looks like a hole in the wall, but it is so delicious like homemade Persian food. I met my friend Veronique that lives right around the corner and we ate in I had a ground beef skewer plate, a.k.a. Koobideh with a delicious fluffy Persian rice and a salad. The meat was very fresh and juicy the way I like it I also ordered a side of cherry rice to go And a walnut stew to go: made with pomegranate and walnut sauce with chicken chunks. It also came with rice on the side. Delicious place delicious dishes at a very reasonable price‼ I will definitely come back A very much highly recommend that place

    Bibi Sara is one of our neighborhood go-tos. Always delicious! We always get the plates - yummy falafel, super moist chicken and well seasoned steak. You can't go wrong. Plus, we love supporting local business.

    Rice, Mixed Beef and Chicken Kubideh, Plus - salad, Hummus and Pita.. for 3-4 people.

    Tonight having a (small ) guys poker night and called one of my favorite local places for the hookup. Mr. Bibi was as always extremely helpful to meet my needs. In the past he had helped me cater for parties up to ten people, and they all left extremely satisfied. Tonight being a smaller event I expressed my needs and like always he crafted the perfect solution. Trust me when I say- you could not get this quality for this many people at a better value anywhere. The food is a 10*, the service 10*+, and the price per person is very very fair... They've been in operation for longer than I've lived in LA- and there's a good reason why.. Please call him - (but give a reasonable time to prepare as he is only one chef plus assistant). Tonight (Friday) I called 40 minutes before closing!! - and he delivered:) I call and say hello my friend., so tonight I have a party of 3, or 4 and need your help... and man, does he come through. Thank you Mr Bibi.. you are a great chef and gift to your community. Truly, humbly, your friend. - William.

    Been to Sadaf several times, and every time, it is excellent. Ambiance is beautiful and clean…read more Food - I think their chicken kabob is the best I've had in LA. It is better than their beef koobideh and barg, though those are still good. I have had better beef koobideh at other restaurants like Raffis or Shekarchi. Their bread is so fresh and is an elevated experience compared to the usual lavash bread that restaurants give. My friends had the salmon and they really liked it. The maast o khiar is really good too. The service is excellent - all the food came out quickly and the servers were nice. I will say I am Persian (and look very obviously so) and for some reason one lady only looked at/spoke to my husband and not me. I would say it's 4.5 stars because I was put off by this. Parking is tough right next to the restaurant but can be found metered down the street if you don't want to valet. We were a party of 4 at 7pm on a Saturday night and were seated right away at a booth.

    We arrived with a large group on a weekday for dinner and they were able to accommodate us. It was…read moreour first time here so the server gave us some recommendations. We ended up ordering 1 combination appetizer and the dolmeh was good. Usually I may not like the flavor at some places, but this one I was able to eat. We ordered Juicy chicken (2), koobideh Kabob, Naderi kabob(2) and boneless lamb (2). They were able to plate them family style for sharing and so we got the mixed rice so we can try one od each type. They were nice enough to give a little extra rice to make the presentation of the plate look full. We were able to get 3 salads to get served family style as well. The sadaf salad came in the biggest plate to share, the beet and shirazi salad came in smaller portions. The chicken was big and juicy! All the meats we ordered tasted good... soft and tender. I really enjoyed the beet salad as it also had some sweetness to it. The mixed rice variety allowed us to try all the choices: Albaloo had sour cherries in it, Zareshk had barberries (was my husband's favorite), baghali has lima beans and dill, Asas has lentils raisins and dates making it a sweeter rice dish. They could have provided more bread for our appetizer platter and since we had more people but if you ask for more they will bring more. Everyone enjoyed the food. We did have a lot of leftovers so it would have been nice for our server to let us know to order a little less. We probably could have gotten away with a couple orders less. Also would be nice if they have some kind of chili or hot sauce or peppers for those that like a little more spice to their meal. It wasnt too busy when we went (but it was a weekday) so our party felt like everything turned out well food-wise and service was attentive, just a tad on the pricier side (Juicy chicken is $28 for 5 pieces and rice, and lamb and Naderi were $40 &$39).
