It was a bit low on Tzatziki sauce though. When I got there it wasn't too crowded, but as the afternoon was approaching it got very busy very fast and the place is not that big, so at the end it felt crowded. I left as the live music was setting up so didn't get to hear them, but they are supposed to be good. The service was ok, but lagged at times. The only think I can complain is the prices. Coming from Miami, I found that $53 for a gyro sandwich with fries, a Greek salad and a tea was waaaay too expensive. Granted, the restaurant is gourmet level and is in Los Angeles, but in Miami it would have been about as good for less than half. I still recommend it though, the food is great and you'll have to decide if it is too expensive for you all things considered.

So I decided to visit my local restaurant to order the edamame hummus and beef kebabs plate . It didn't disappoint, the kebabs and rice w onion and tomatoes so tasty. The edamame really good . My only disappointment was when I got to my car thank goodness I checked my bag and there was no pita bread! The server didn't mention that I should get it when I said it was my first time ordering and asking for advice on size etc. I was able to drive back and purchase the pita bread . She wasn't very helpful when I aakws how many I should purchase with the 16 oz hummus and she couldn't help me again!!!....

Our server Kelly, who looks amazingly young for someone about to become a first time grandmother, provided 5 star service with a radiant smile. Throughout my dinner she kept me well supplied with a small, but delicious selection of beer, (plenty of wine available as well). I ordered the Caprese appetizer and it was even better than described in the menu. There was a good amount of cold, fresh vegetables, mozzarella, hot, fresh pita bread, pesto and olive oil, all presented so deliciously. But the best was Jelly's recommended flat iron steak kabob! I have had well cooked filet before that wouldn't stand a chance next to the tender, flavorful steak cooked so masterfully. It was accompanied with cooked veggies kabob partners that complimented each other so well. Along with the hefty portions of beautifully flavored rice and fresh salad served along side this masterful plate of goodness, I was not in the least disappointed to happen upon this surprisingly clean and well run restaurant. I would encourage you to go and experience what other deliciousness this hidden gem can provide! Keith Bowens - Delaware

I've brought plenty of friends over the years, and every single one of them has said the same thing after their first visit: this place is legit. Anytime I try Mediterranean food in a similar price range, I find myself comparing it back to Pita Kitchen and honestly, it's hard to beat. My go to is the steak plate with Greek salad perfectly grilled, flavorful, and always fresh. You can really taste the quality in every bite. Pro tip: eat it there, right when it comes out. That's when it truly hits different. In a time where a lot of restaurants lose their edge or disappear altogether, I'm genuinely glad Pita Kitchen is still here and still delivering. A true staple. - Ian Lantz

They really thought it through. It works for everything too... brunch, lunch, dinner. Doesn't matter when you go, it hits. I've tried most of the menu, and I'm not saying that lightly. Every time I thought "okay this is my favorite," the next dish somehow topped it. That's rare. If you go, don't overthink it: The shawarma wrap is a must. The ajarski is thick, cheesy, and exactly what you want it to be And breakfast? The breakfast burrito is a no-brainer. Simple, consistent, and actually good across the board. That's hard to find.

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.

Last night we had dinner at Sadaf - Encino, a modern Persian restaurant with several locations. We…read morearrived at 6:35 p.m. and were told there would be a 20-minute wait. Because large parties were gathered near the entrance, we were asked to move into the bar area while we waited. (The restaurant does not take reservations for groups smaller than five.) While waiting, I noticed several tables for four sitting empty on the patio. We were told we could check our place in line via text, but the message never updated beyond "You are 11th in line and should be seated between 7:03-7:09 p.m." After several trips back to the host stand, we were eventually told it would be another 11-12 minutes. We were finally seated at 8:06 p.m.--after waiting more than an hour. I would never wait this long for food anywhere. Unfortunately, the service after being seated did not improve the experience. We had to request menus, and initially were given only two. After placing our order, two additional menus were brought. We asked for water three times before it finally arrived. Later, when our entrées were brought out, the server had removed our silverware and we had to ask for replacements. We started with the Tahdig (crispy rice) served with two stew toppings: Ghormeh Sabzi (slow-cooked beef with sautéed herbs, kidney beans, dried lime, and special seasonings) and Gheimeh Bademajan- eggplant stew. The eggplant stew was definitely the better of the two. For salads, we ordered the Beet and Feta with Persian cucumbers, lemon juice, olive oil, feta, and mint--it was just okay. We also had the Shirazi salad with chopped cucumbers, tomatoes, parsley, onion, olive oil, and lime juice. This is a classic combination and hard to get wrong, and it did not disappoint. For entrées, we tried the whitefish (charbroiled), which my friend felt was not as good as on a previous visit, and the Shish Kabob, which one of us really enjoyed. The true standout of the night was the Juicy Chicken. It was honestly one of the best chicken dishes I've ever had--boneless chunks of incredibly tender chicken, perfectly marinated and charbroiled over an open flame. It was the redeeming quality of the meal. I would give the Juicy Chicken five stars. That said, I would never wait over an hour for it again. While the Juicy Chicken alone would have warrented 5 stars, the service and wait time knocked it down to three. Unfortunately, dining in was not a pleasant experience.
