sadaf

nicefoodand nice service. looking a little old inside and parking it horrible at the moment so would definitely choose delivery over eating in

good place to dine at a leisure although the place is crowded. have been there often on way back from noryhern emirates to home. cozy comfortable sitting, quite deliciousfoodand good service. no issues regarding parking too.

oh my god! once again oh my god!
it was around december 2018 and we went on a road trip to fujairah.
someone suggested sadaf restaurant and oh my god!

okay thefoodcame very very late.
the bread was sooo cold.
we ordered soup and few of us got it. few did not.
there was nobody serving us and we were almost 7 guys. had to shout to get the waiter . once he came and we asked for something, he never returned.

oh my god! zomato! seriously these type of restaurants should be banned on your site. they dont deserve a platform like this.

had read some good reviews of the kebabs being served here, so though of trying it out. restaurant is simple but homely feeling.foodwas good. service was also appreciable.

food ok, was not served hot... staff is good, ambiance is good ...we have orderedfoodmany times in the past and always it has been good, but when we went there to have food. the experience was not great

was in the emirate of fujairah for work. as is a ritual with me, i have to check out a restaurant or anything related tofoodwhenever i am far from home in dubai. so this time around it was sadaf restaurant in fujairah. though they are a restaurant chain and have branches in dubai too, i have not been to any of their restaurants before. the reference of this place came from a friend who works for "lonely planet" and another blogger friend from fujairah which had me zero down on this place for my visit. i love iranianfoodand was quite excited to check this place out.

the exterior of this restaurant was quite modest. the interior was quite simple compared to what opulence we have here in restaurants in the middle east. however these were quite compensated for by their, warm, friendly and very alert service. the moment you are ushered to your seat, on your table will be placed a basket of iranian flat bread, bowls of mast o kheyar ( chopped cucumber in flavoured yogurt), mixed salad platter, soup of the day and my favourite iranian laban. these are all complimentary and quite elaborate i must say. i am a huge fan of iranian laban ( yogurt drink) and this one won my heart too.

we went straight ahead ordering the main course of zereshk chicken polo ( iranian stlye flavoured rice with red barberries and chicken) along with chicken chelo kabab kobideh (traditional iranian minced chicken grill served with saffron rice crowned with a dollop of butter). i found the tastes quite pleasing, however i was not blown away by the flavours that hit my palate.

i culminated the meal with a bite of mahalabiya which looked beautiful but didn't live up to my taste buds. i would have liked to try their faloudeh shirazi or bastani ( traditional iranian ice-cream), but mr. s being a mahalabiya lover ordered otherwise.

so if you are in fujairah and would like to eat iranian food, this place is worthy a visit. i still think the laban and the services here were what i took away with me from my visit to sadaf restaurant, fujairah.

thefoodis really delicious.

home delivery service is fast.
great restaurant and value for money.

really good persian restaurant with good portion sizes and descent prices and i really liked thier mixed grill. i would recommend this restaurant to people who want persianfoodin fujairah.

nice place, first time i have been there. the staff is well trained, very fast and competent. thefoodwas tasty with big portions. the restaurant is clean and the tables are well prepared. it is worth a try when in fujairah.

this is a wonderful eating place to be at.foodis excellent and the staff is professional. though they are a bit different when you are there with your friends instead of your family. but guys, you will love their food. a must go place for all the foodies. a not to miss, great ambience.

when my family and friends crave iranian food, we always think 'sadaf'.
this place has a large variety of persianfoodand drinks. the chelo kebab and pomegranate rice are served to perfection.
there are a couple of reasons why this place won't get a high rating from me:
a) there has been no renovation in it for years. the decor and interior have been the same ever since they opened.
b) service isn't great. there are no group discounts or warm welcoming and attentiveness to customers.
other than that, it is worth trying.

a busy persian restaurant with goodfoodto offer. just dont sit on the main isle as it becomes a highway of food, tray and people comparable to shk zayed rd. grilledfoodmay take a bit of a time but it will be worth it. maybe one if the tastiest chicken yoghurt ive tasted.

good iranian food. although this place interior seem very out of date but what the heck the simple kebabs nfoodis excellent. i am slow becoming and ardent fan on simple iranian food, with such treats.

very well maintained restaurant and the staff seems to be professional. the ambience is very calming. most importantly thefoodtastes exquisite.
