Sadaf Restaurant — Restaurant in Thousand Oaks

Very disappointed as we have been dining at this restaurant for more than a decade. We had lunch at this restaurant yesterday and we were 3 adults and 3 children. When we were presented with the check, we did not realize that the server added an 18% service charge and this was never mentioned. As a habit, we just added the tip and paid the total by our credit card.

This is completely not right to do to a trusting customer. We understand the fact that some restaurants may add their own tip for a party of 8 diners or more, but in our case, the kids only had white rice and one of them did not eat at all.

Beware of this scam of a behavior because by not realizing they added their own service charge, we ended up paying an approximate 40% tip, which was definitely not deserved, nor right to conceal the extra charge from us.

We will not be dining at this restaurant in the future. Shame on you for pulling this trick on long time and...

This is a local treasure. A full bar, great Persian cuisine, and friendly service. We dropped by after running a few errands on Moorpark Rd and were delighted. The portions are huge.

There were all ages of families there, from elderly to families with young children. You could sit a larger group there of 10 to 15 without difficulty. But there's also plenty of cozy seating arrangements for couples or small groups. There's outdoor seating with heat lamps and lights along TO Boulevard on a...

We ordered our food to take out as always, but this time I was very disappointed. The fillet mignon kabab had a smell and was not properly marinated. The lamb shank tasted awful and was full of fat. The juicy BBQ chicken was supposed to be juicy but it was dry. Beef Koobideh was good and persian salad was good. Our order was over $400 and we had company at home and this order was the main meal. Very disappointed this time and it appears that the quality is going down. Perhaps when they cater the food out, the quality served is not important to the manager or the Chief, as no-one is there to directly complain or refuse the food. Sorry, I will try...
