" I visited Sufi for the first time last week, and it was an absolute delight! The food was incredibly fresh and bursting with flavor. I tried the lamb kabob, which was perfectly cooked, and the saffron rice was a great accompaniment. The atmosphere is cozy, and the staff was very attentive, especially our waiter Daud, who made us feel right at home. This place is a gem, and I will be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a fantastic dining experience! I love Middle Eastern food, and Sufi did not disappoint. Everything we ordered was packed with flavor, especially the dizi and the lamb shank which was so tender. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and our server, Daud, was exceptional. He went out of his way to ensure we had a lovely evening. I highly recommend Sufi to anyone craving authentic Persian cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a gem! Sufi has become one of my favorite stops in San Diego. The food is consistently fresh, and I adore how they incorporate traditional flavors in their dishes. The lamb kabobs are particularly noteworthy, and the dining setting feels welcoming and warm. I look forward to visiting again soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" We decided to try Sufi for a birthday dinner, and it was quite an experience! The food was excellent, and our server was so friendly and accommodating. The flavors were bold and really made the meal enjoyable. The setting is quite relaxed, and we felt welcomed the entire time. I would recommend it for anyone looking for a good Persian meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for Sufi Mediterranean Cuisine, but unfortunately, my experience didn't meet my expectations. While the ambiance was nice and inviting, I found the food to be a bit underwhelming, lacking the authenticity I was looking for. The koobideh was decent, but I've had much better elsewhere. The service was adequate, but nothing stood out as exceptional. I might give it another shot, but I'm not in a hurry to return. " (*Curated Review*)

" I'm a frequent visitor to Sufi Mediterranean and have always left satisfied. The kabobs are particularly noteworthy for their rich flavors and perfect grilling. The ambiance is ideal for family gatherings, and I appreciate that they have a hall for private events. However, the only drawback is that during busy lunch hours, the service can lag a bit. But overall, it's worth it. " (*Curated Review*)

" The kabobs here are certainly a highlight. I tried the beef and chicken combo which was tender and flavorful. Only thing I would say is that the atmosphere can get a bit crowded during peak hours. Otherwise, everything else was great! Would suggest Sufi to any of my fellow Mediterranean food lovers. " (*Curated Review*)
