Darband Grill - Thousand Oaks

Having family connections through marriage to Persian relatives, we've been fortunate to enjoy many delicious Persian home-cooked meals. This restaurant truly honors those fantastic dishes we've experienced! I particularly loved their game hen dinners, kebabs, gormeh sabzi, rice dishes, and more. Everything was excellent, and the service was both efficient and professional!

I had lunch at this restaurant earlier this week while visiting the area. After seeing such positive reviews online, I was surprised to find the place empty at 1 PM. It seems they have recently changed their name to Sadef. I opted for the shish chicken kabob, accompanied by a side salad. My food arrived in about 15 minutes, and the chicken was incredibly tender and flavorful. Unfortunately, their system was down, so they couldn't process my credit card right away, but they swiped it later, which was convenient. The lunch plate was a bit on the pricey side at $16, but the service was excellent.

One of my favorite Persian restaurants in the heart of LA! I absolutely love their chicken kebabs; the flavors are truly authentic. The Fesenjan stew was delightful, especially when paired with my crispy tadig appetizer. I even had the pleasure of meeting the new owner, Sadaf, who has already made some great improvements to the place—it looks much nicer now. She was incredibly kind and genuinely excited to be there. This will be the second Sadaf Restaurant in LA. While I haven’t visited her Encino location yet, I’m definitely planning to. I can’t wait to bring my family here so they can enjoy the fantastic food and the wonderful hospitality we received from Sadaf. The prices were reasonable considering the generous portions we ordered.

Great food! I got take out from them, because were were staying some where close by. The food was very delicious. The chicken koobideh was amazing too, I wasn't gonna order that but my husband insisted and I'm glad we did!

Consistently great food. Each time we go I try a new dish, and the new item doesn't disappoint. Now it's hard to choose what I want because everything I ordered is so delicious. Very nice clean restaurant and the service is great.
