An Invitation to Authenticity and Elegance
Nestled in the heart of downtown Bradford, Sabella Restaurant is more than just a place to dine, it’s an experience worth savoring. Whether you’re a passionate foodie, a lover of ambiance, or simply looking for a special place to treat someone you care about, visiting Sabella at least once is a culinary rite of passage.

A Menu That Marries Cultures
Sabella’s greatest charm lies in its dual culinary identity. Unlike most restaurants that focus on a single cuisine, Sabella fuses classic Persian kebobs with beloved Italian comfort dishes. The result? A menu that feels both nostalgic and adventurous.
Let’s talk about the Persian side first.

Juicy, char-broiled skewers served with fluffy saffron rice. Every bite is smoky, tender, and deeply satisfying. - Chicken Kebab – $22
Marinated in lemon juice and saffron, then grilled to golden perfection. It’s bright, juicy, and bursting with traditional Persian flavors. - Veal Filet Mignon Kebab – $30
Premium cuts of veal, grilled with a delicate touch, offering a melt-in-your-mouth experience. - Sabella Kebab – $30
Can’t decide? This combo of one skewer ground beef and one skewer chicken is perfect for first-timers. - Special Kebab – $35

Each kebob plate comes with a generous serving of steamed rice, garnished with saffron, and a side of grilled vegetables or salad, depending on your preference.
The Italian Comfort We All Crave
If pasta or pizza is more your style, Sabella has you covered.
- Spaghetti Carbonara – $19.50
Classic carbonara made with dry sausage bacon, egg yolk, parmesan, and a silky touch of cream. - Chicken Parmigiana – $23.95

At Sabella, the Italian dishes aren’t just filler, they’re a celebration of flavor, cooked with love and fresh ingredients.

Let’s not forget the starters.
- Homemade Meatballs – $12.95
Savory, soft, and drenched in rich tomato sauce, these meatballs are a must-try. - Ground Beef Kebab Wrap – $14.95
A portable version of the classic, wrapped in fresh flatbread with lettuce, tomatoes, onions, gherkins, and a drizzle of garlic sauce. It’s a lunch favorite and an Instagram star.
Atmosphere That Feels Like Home
One of the reasons Sabella is essential to visit at least once is its intimate, cozy vibe. Whether you’re on a romantic date, out with friends, or celebrating with family, the warm lighting, elegant decor, and soft background music create the perfect atmosphere.
Sabella also features a small party room, ideal for birthday dinners, bridal showers, anniversaries, or corporate get-togethers. It’s private, elegant, and fully catered by the kitchen staff, giving your guests a high-end, personal dining experience.
More Than Dining – It’s Community

And on select nights, you can enjoy live entertainment, including performances by local talent Paul Rumbolt, who brings soul and charm to the already-vibrant atmosphere.
This community-centered spirit is what makes Sabella stand out in a crowded food scene.

Why You Must Go – At Least Once
Sabella isn’t just another place to eat, it’s where stories are shared, milestones are celebrated, and cravings are satisfied. The fusion of Persian and Italian cuisines is rare, and when executed with this level of authenticity, it becomes a must-try.
