" Sufi Mediterranean is one of those places that just feels right. The moment you walk in, the aromas hit you, and you know you're in for a treat. I had the chance to try the chicken koobideh and the saffron rice, which were both fantastic. The service was friendly, and though it can be a little slow during peak hours, it's worth the wait. Also, the portions here are very satisfactory. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a wonderful family dinner at Sufi recently. The atmosphere is very family-friendly and the staff are incredibly helpful. We ordered the chicken kabob combo which came with a generous side of rice. The flavors were delightful, but the wait time for our food was quite lengthy, especially for kids getting restless. Overall, a pleasant experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" While I enjoyed the ambience and service, I found the food to be a tad bland compared to other Persian spots I’ve been to. I tried the chicken kabob but felt it could have been seasoned better. However, the portions were generous which was a plus. I might return for another try. " (*Curated Review*)

" During my recent visit to Sufi, I must say that the food was delightful! The beef koobideh was seasoned to perfection and the rice was cooked just right. However, the service left a bit to be desired as we waited longer than expected to receive our orders. That said, I would still recommend the place based on food alone. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was very disappointed during my last visit to Sufi Mediterranean. When I ordered the special, expecting fresh ingredients, what I got was a dish that seemed like it had been sitting out for a while. The service was inattentive, and we waited to get our check for far too long. I don’t think I’ll return unless I hear some improvements have been made. " (*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*)
