Authentic Persian stews, kabobs, & shared platters
"The family behind Sadaf—a big, banquet-friendly spot in Encino—also runs Darya in Westwood, and while we’re not sure if we could tell their food apart blindfolded, the traditional Persian staples at Sadarfare reliably delicious and built to be shared with a crowd. On weekends, you’ll see families passing around koobideh platters, stew combos, and eggplant appetizers in glassed-in private rooms. Don’t be surprised if you see entire tables crushing house margaritas and Persian mules from the full bar as instrumental Bryan Adams covers play on the sound system." - brant cox, arden shore, garrett snyder, sylvio martins
"Find three different types of khoreshts on Sadaf’s menu: gheimeh bademjan (a tomato-based stew with sauteed whole eggplants, yellow split peas, dried limes, and beef), ghormeh sabzi (a stew of sauteed fresh herbs, dried limes, kidney beans, and veal), and the signature fesenjan (made of finely ground walnuts, pomegranate molasses, and chicken breast). The Salout family’s treasured recipes are the key to the trio of stews; all are prepared until every element has fallen into place or ja oftadeh. Order the combination platter to sample all three khoresht served atop crispy tahdig or saffron-laced basmati rice. Dishes are served in generous portions and are meant to be shared family style, as is tradition." - Melody Barooni
"Head to San Fernando Valley and Encino’s popular Sadaf restaurant. (They have a second location in Thousand Oaks.) “They stick to the same kind of dishes—the kababs and the stews—but they’re a little more refined and upscale in their presentation,” Deravian says. They serve an array of vegetarian dishes too, plus a variety of wines and cocktails, including the Persian mule—gin, fresh lime juice, simple syrup, ginger beer, mint—and a saffron martini, made with saffron simple syrup." - garin pirnia
