Sufi Mediterranean Cuisine

Incredible selection and delicious Persian food all in one place! The freshest produce and the most friendly staff in San Diego. Definitely a one stop shop!

Amazing location, great food, and kind staff. We got there, and the cashier recommended dishes that were all really good, we sat down, and the food came out in 10 minutes. The staff were all extremely kind. They let us bring pizza from next door to eat as an appetizer. They are also great for larger groups of people, I went with 10 others, and they had space for us instantly. I really enjoyed the food and recommend the wraps.

Sufi is a no-frills Mediterranean restaurant connected to a traditional Mediterranean grocery store. They serve a wide variety of kabobs as well as sultanis and koobidehs. You can substitute the rice side on entrees for salad or fries, and the salad can be upgraded to a Greek salad for a small amount. The hummus is a little bland, I needed to add salt and pepper. The lamb was my favorite of the meats I tried, as the ground beef tastes as if it is mixed with something else (even if it isn’t). The Greek salad is quite tasty. The atmosphere is simple: an open, high-ceiling building with an array of long tables and a few booths. The dining area is roomy and the chairs are fairly comfortable. You order at one of two counters, the food comes fairly quickly, and you can easily ask for anything at said counters if you need to.

Food is good and tasty. Their service is also good. They have lunch buffet. They are also able to accommodate small parties, meetings and conferences in their hall. I have couple of issues with their facilities, one there is always some kind of bad odor. Secondly, I don't go there for dinner during weekends because they hold belly dancing

I recommend Sufi> It is pretty good. I try to return every other week. The food comes out slow even when they are not busy, but understandable if you order something grilled, that it may take time. The orders are sometimes missing either the lemon or the butter even the sumac powder seasoning packets so the staff should be careful when expediting. The rice however is always delicious!! . I have mixed feelings from one visit when I ordered an Iranian dish *( forgot the name ) and I was served another dish but what really bothered me was I saw the same containers inside Balboa International Market that are sold in the cold section " as reheat dinner containers" to the left of the back of the store. So I deduce, that when Sufi advertises "SPECIALS" for xxx dish, it is because they are trying to sell whatever stews are left and then the microwave to serve dine in customers. I just do not believe that it was made SAME DAY. Only the grill platters are the best in my opinion. Thank you!
