History

Established in 2011.

In the Persian language Sadaf means Sea Shell. In the early 80’s one of the proprietors was gifted by having twins, one was named Darya (Sea) and the other was named Sadaf (Sea Shell). Both of the restaurants first opened were named Darya. One was Darya “in the City of Orange” and the other Darya “Santa Monica”. “You are probably saying what about the other twin. “This is not fair to Sadaf!” Well…….After years of schooling, receiving her MBA, and mastering the kitchen, Sadaf decided that it is now her turn. Sadaf Restaurant is the “twin sister” of the famous Darya Restaurants. However, this twin has a slight modern twist. We invite you to experience modern Persian cuisine at its finest here at Sadaf Restaurant where you will be served healthy, yet tasty, wholesome fresh food. All of our food is made with 100% olive and vegetable oils. No preservatives or additives are ever used. We use the leanest cuts of meats and the freshest vegetables.

    A new concept! Afternoon tea 🍵 They serve delicious little pastry and little sandwiches on a beautiful tray and a variety of tasty teas. Can't wait to go back 👌👌👌

    This is not one of my favorite places to eat I just wish it was closer so I could eat there more often. I kind of hate it haven't paid $7 to park in the back it was better than trying to find parking on the street. The hostess was welcoming, the service was outstanding, and I really loved the food. I have the Persian princess drink it was very good and then I tried their sampler which had three different types of stew. That was a great way to get a taste of what they have to offer. Shrimp and mushroom appetizer what's fantastic. With drinks and tips for two people it was almost $150 so it's not cheap but it is worth it.

    For my daughter’s wedding right after ceremony, in spite of my skepticism towered Persian restaurants (due to years of experiences with them) I took whole family to Sadaf restaurant anyways (My mistake), it was our first time there, everything seemed normal nothing special about the place, beside their high prices compare with other respectful places which is not my main concern but this is the interesting part, as I wanted to pay the bill I handed the my debit card to waiter, after while he came back with the receipts, I signed without looking to the bill just like we do every day based on TRUST (my mistake again) and I left the tip on the table, later on I noticed unbenounced to me the restaurant charged me an additional $40 “CALLED SERVICE FEE”, what puzzles me? What kind of service???? They treated us like regular fast food place!!! All together they charged me an extra almost $60 on top of my bill. The sneaky ways to make an extra money by charging people this way it says a lots about the restaurant and the Ownership. I wonder why the place was empty as we walked in!!!
