"You always want to be at Sadaf with a group. That way you can get the mixed starters selection—which means more opportunity for scooping excellent kashk e bademjan in warm bread—as well as some meaty koobideh skewers, perfect lamb chops, and juicy charred joojeh for the table. We’d recommend ordering the chicken biryani because, well, it’s just that good. While the service can be a little slow when this Persian spot in Kensington is busy, one thing you never have to worry about when hitting Sadaf is whether all stomachs in your party will leave satisfied." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna
