    Unfortunately we didn't enjoy our dinner. The quality of food and service was very poor. The rice, the kabab, the mirza ghasemi, ... non of them were tasty. The toilets were not clean.

    Don’t go. Can not say anything good about this place. We felt very disappointed. I repeat. Don’t go. Bad restaurant. Many better options. As Iranian, I love Iranian cuisine. This place does not serve tasty food. Service not kind. Place not nice. Remember. Don’t go.

    We entered the restaurant with a baby carriage, but they did not allow us to enter because we had a baby carriage and they asked us to leave the carriage outside the restaurant and then inside while our baby was sleeping in the baby carriage, if the restaurant was empty and a family with a baby carriage was inside. The behavior of the restaurant staff was not really respectful at all. I do not recommend this restaurant at all.

    A cozy hidden place where you enjoy tasty pizza made with love and care in front of you. Prices are affordable and quality of food is really good.

    Today we were here, the whole food is good and delicious, but there was a small stone in the Rice in my plate. The price is also expensive if we want to compare with other Restaurants. One small cup of Torshi is 5€, other Restaurant maybe serve with food for free. Not recommend it anymore.

    Awful! As an Iranian, I would not recommend this restaurant at all! The service from start to finish was not good. The waiting time for food was too long! food was bad and wasn’t tasty. The food even wasn’t the one we ordered and again took a time to fix it. The staff and especially the manager were rude and arrogant! They behave very badly when you ask something. They were staring at us to make an “uncomfortable” situation with a lot of interrupting! Avoid at all costs!

    One of the best persian restaurants. Really chilled vibes. Very kind and patient waitress. Food quality is fantastic. They only accept cash (which i don't mind but some do) I'd definitely recommend it👍

    It was first time eating there, they were friendly at first, but something terrible happened. I have not touched meat for more than 15 years, I am a vegetarian and very sensitive to meat. I asked them if there is a ghurmehsabzi meal without meat, they said sure sure. I told them I am vegetarian, again soon they brought me a meal which was full of meat. worse than that was they denied it at first. They said no no it is not meat. I said what is it then. And then they called the Cook and he said yes it is meat. And then they said we can change it for you. I said ok. But then I could not trust them. I could not eat something cooked by someone I don't trust. If you care about what you eat, or you are a vegetarian please don't go there. * *a note to the restaurant owner, this is not Iran, this is Germany please be very accurate and understand there are people that don't and can't eat meat at all.

    Unfortunately, it was the worst experience we have had in a restaurant. The quality of the food was not acceptable at all; we ordered koobideh and it was too much salty and rough, and I think the quality of the meat that they have used was not good at all. It was even more disappointing when they didn't accept the payment by card and they asked us cash at 10:30 in the evening!! I never recommend this restaurant based on our experience!

    Friendly staff and nice service. And normally the quality of the food is excellent (the occasional miss might happen though). They made their own bread (flat type which is called Taftoun) and dough (Iranian yogurt drink), which are highly recommended. They ask for the vaccination certificate, which I come to appreciate, as not many reaturants put an effort to do so. It gives a little bit more assurance to the people that wanna enjoy their food inside the resturant.

    service is of very poor quality, the ladies in the restaurant are acocial, they only see money. i am not used to this from iranian people, the kubide was not well made, everything goes too fast there. i think it's time for them to close. a customer was not allowed to enter with a sleeping child in the pram, but the owner's family was allowed to enter with a pram.

    We took the food for takeaway way because the restaurant did not have the capacity for us, although 10 minutes later, space was available for us The quality and taste of the food was average, the fresh bread was excellent. I hope they improve the quality of food and the way they treat customers so that I can come back here again. Also, don't forget to bring cash because they don't have a bank card reader.

    Ich komme schon seit Jahren zum Sadaf Restaurant. Es ist ein tolles persisches Restaurant mit einem gehobenen Ambiente. Das Essen und das Service sind immer Top. Merci und vielen Dank 🥰

    First time in a Persian restaurant, the food here tastes fantastic! Love the combination of cheese and mint leaf in our starter, creamy and refreshing at the same time! The kebab was very delicious too, it has a rich and meaty aroma. I’d love to come again and try more!

    The best Iranian restaurant I've ever tried. The staff is very friendly, and the food is delicious! They serve fresh bread with sabzi and panir. We live in Belgium and make the trip to Köln for their amazing kebabs.

    Believe me or not, we travel from the Netherlands to have food there. It is absolutely mind blowing. The quality of food is the next level. All in all AMAZING 🤩

  • 4/5 Alireza Y. 1 year ago on Google
    Friendly and kind staff, good atmosphere, but I would say average food. I ordered Soltani Kabab, the meet was overcooked and the rice was a bit dry. The prices are also a bit high compared to the food quality

  • 5/5 Pooria K. 1 year ago on Google
    I recently dined at this restaurant and had a great experience. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made for a comfortable and enjoyable dining experience. The highlight of my meal was the kebab that I ordered. It was absolutely delicious.

    The service was terrible and unprofessional. They refill glass bottles with tap water and sell them as much as 8 euros. And when you ask them to bring you a sealed bottle of water they reply disrespectfully and disgracefully. I highly suggest that you spend your money somewhere where they show some respect to their customers.

    if you want to have a fun and peaceful meal with the people you care about, keep as far away as you can from this restaurant. They were Rude and unprofessional. you always have to be alert, for they always try to trick you into paying more (and of course, they only accept cash). they directly disrespected me and My guests when we pointed out their mistake and refused to take the unsealed water bottle that they brought us.
