"The Persian restaurant Sadaf is not far from Zülpicher Platz. I recommend the arrival by bus and/or train, because the parking search is quite difficult here. The first impression when entering: The restaurant, consisting of a long hose, is decorated in “Mediterranean rustic style”. When entering, my eyes had to get used to the darkness. Candles at the tables and wall decorations, however, quickly create a cozy impression, and it smells pleasant, exotic and unusually undefined herbs and spices. At first glance everything worked comfortably furnished, but slightly overloaded on the second and third ... sometimes less... The restaurant was well filled upon arrival and the guests present gave a satisfied impression. Everything was so great, it promised to be a promising evening! I took place and immediately got the menu. The beverage service was promt. After I greeted my two accompaniments, I tried to put the menu in mind. It seemed as if lamb, fish and chicken were the focus and shaped the card accordingly. I quickly noticed that vegetarians apparently have to be limited to appetizers and/or desserts, because the offer about the meat-laden main dishes, which cost between 7 and 16 euros, is completely missing here. Carefully I couldn't study the card, because our waiter of the evening apparently had it very eager and asked me in the felt-minute watch with a loud, unpleasant voice, whether I finally decided... pfffffffffffffff I was never in Persia, or in a restaurant with this menu. I therefore rely on the recommendation of our estimated Untitled, and I chose the lambs. The almost obligatory “sweet from the kitchen” that were to be seen on all tables were loaded bread with a raw vegetable onion, an above-ground peperonie and picked parsley not really addressed me and “for my feeling” came quite strange. The appetizer of my two companions was served very quickly. The starter plate of the two looked really delicious, although I didn't let myself go to Aubergine and? But what seemed strange was the shell of a sapphire mussel that was decoratively reinforced with Balsamico Glace ... What kind of heavenly love had this mussel to see an aubergine tomato? The order of the ordered dishes was somewhat too fast for my taste, because while my two companions were still busy with the appetizers, the main dishes were already served. This did not come well to the cosiness and/or well-being, because I had gained the impression that everything had to go “fast, fast” here, similar to the ordering process. Well, my main dish or the presentation of my plate seemed very clean, almost sober. My lamb back was delicious, not a question, but I would have bleeded the meat a little more. Unfortunately, I was not asked about my order. The Persian rice, which was praised to me by the Untitled Presence as “special”, fell into my appreciation rather under average tasty. Overall rated my ordered dish was solid and delicious, but now not sooo spectacular... In an advanced hour we were finally the last guests. We have expressed our desire to pay. The cellar came with the bill soon. When it came to pay, it seemed like the good man had trouble diverging food and drinks. In the Generalston we were now quoted to the cash that is in the vault... we did it as we ordered it! I couldn't deny myself a “yes, sir!” My suggestions for improvement for the operators of the house: if you please take a little pressure and take out the hectic, leave the guests alone, then the visit or stay will be much more pleasant for your guests! Perhaps the desired cooking height of the prepared meat should also be required to be able to react better to the individual taste of the guests. I would also recommend closing the door at the current autumn temperatures. It is not pleasant to have to freeze at a cozy dinner. My conclusion: My highlight of the evening were definitely my two beautiful companions Untitled Sir Thomas The lack of 2 stars results from my expressed criticism or from my expressed suggestions for improvement, so for the first time I forgive good-willing star reviews."

"we sat here, as we were recommended. the service was well to begin, the usual drinks offered, menu spent etc. eating ordered, and the waiting time for the food was ok. then when the food and drinks had been delivered to the table., service disappeared in thin air, and considering that there were 3 server, and we sat where they could see us clearly, there really is no excuse for it. Original plan, was a 3-course menu with some drinks etc. it became a 2 cursor meal, and a drink everyone, as the server seem to have no interest in earning extra money by coming to check if they want another drink or something else while they want to eat. the starter was good and authentic, as I said in the title, it was a good start to dinner. the main thing was oversalted and the chicken was over boiled. so more than a drink would have been necessary to wash this, and yes, I would have asked for one, but a restaurant that is highly recommended in terms of eating and service would expect something better. then new guests arrived and were looking for a table and one of the server must take care to say that we stayed a lot too long, which meant that the table was not available now as they had another booking. we were there for an hour and left after eating, so the time that it will be served for a drink a start and a main dish is what this amount took time. they did not even seem interested in being paid as I had to wave and ask for the bill. this was a business meal, so what could have been easily a double the price to the worth when the service was great, turned into a very simple meal. it is safe to say I will not return."
