If you’ve eaten much Persian food in The Valley, you’re probably familiar with Sadaf. The Encino standby is known for reliably delicious staples built to be shared like gigantic koobideh platters, stew combos, and creamy eggplant appetizers. The menu at the Beverly Hills location is the same. The only difference is the dining room, which is small and subdued compared to the big-party original. Groups over four will have to squeeze into tight banquettes, and there is no private dining. That said, this location works for more intimate meals, (or takeout) instead. And considering the nearest comparable ghormeh sabzi is in Westwood, Sadaf is a nice place to bookmark if you’re near Mid-City.
