The food was very good. But Keon's service was outstanding. Due to an Uber Eats mishap (the original driver STOLE my food) Keon personally delivered my food to my hotel and made sure I was refunded through Uber. Thank you so much and I will definitely be back. read more

get you some free hummus with a check in! I am usually pretty chill about hummus and don't get it at persian places (need to save room for rice and stew!) but it was free.....This hummus was better than the stuff I got in Israel. to reiterate: YUM. The Sufi special and the Sufi Stew were yummy (I liked the appetizer better). Mirza Ghasemi: on point. Tah dig...I think it was ruined by the stew making it mushy? and the Baghali polo was 4 out of 5....not necessarily al dente enough for me. And the bread was incredible. I deem this place vegan friendly (or I just know how to eat vegan at a persian place). caution: Don't wear heels unless you can valet. You could die on the ridiculously inclined parking lot. read more

Wow what an outstanding meal. No lunch menu available on weekends just dinner menu so it's a little pricey but excellent. We had the Kabob platter for 4, the lamb was so tender! Chicken was juicy and yummy. Basmati rice was perfect. The desserts are so different, Persian ice cream with saffron and rose water yummm! Pomegranate cheesecake delicious and moist. China our server was excellent. We will be back! read more

Mmmmmmmmm! This place, first very nice, dark wood and low lighting, a good date place. The pricing really is not bad for where it is. I and my lunch date wanted to try a few things since we never been there before..... Ok, lets say we wanted to pig out! The appetizer sampler with the spicy eggplant stew and the tomato cucumber onion salad with the sauteed eggplant was effing amaze balls. We had order the chicken kabob wrap, holy shit that sauce on there was awesome. We also ordered, ( yes I know its alot but like I said before we were pigging out) ground beef kabob with the carrot and orange peel rice..... Mmmmmmmmmmmazing really tasty together. I just wanted to keep shoveling it in, I maintained composure and took half of it home, unhinged my mouth and dumped it in. It was really good food. The portions were really good for the price. Very nice place, I will be back! read more

Sufis is absolutely great for lunch and I don't know why it's not packed out. The food is excellent, service and cleanliness even better. I visit once every few weeks and sit on the patio and typically get their special which today was chicken curry. With a drink that cost about $16 which very reasonable. Why I ask myself would you eat at a fast food restaurant and queue up to pay not much less when you can eat better food in relative luxury right on Peachtree st? Suggest you give this place a try you will not be disappointed. read more

I splurged and got the mixed kebab platter with chicken, beef, and lamb. I also threw in some hummus too! I saw reviews about their lamb and I must say I'm not impressed. The hummus also wasn't the greatest but it was still good hummus. Pita with the hummus also wasn't phenomenal but still good. "Why did they get 4 Stars, Girgis?" You might ask. That beef was godly. Whatever you do. Order the beef. It was out of this world, when I go back I will literally order a monster plate of straight beef. The chicken was good too. read more

Right when we pulled up, a Doordash/Ubereats car parked in the entrance to the lot and a manager of this restaurant came out and began screaming at the driver, giving him the middle finger and striking his car beating on the hood and above the window. So that was not a great first impression. We ordered an appetizer platter to share and we liked the food. The hummus was delightfully garlicky. My friends all got kebabs and enjoyed them. I ordered the ghormeh sabzi and I was not a fan. During our meal there was a man playing a traditional instrument and it was nice. Dining on the patio in the rain was a little iffy and would not recommend it. read more

The lamb shank was to die for, the lamb just fell of the bone! Yum and so tender. Oh and the grape leaves were delicious! Never had them hot, but it was delicious. read more

Very good Persian food with extremely friendly service. Big portions and more reasonably priced than some higher end Persian restaurants.

Let me just firstly preface this review by disclaiming that I've never been a huge fan of Persian food...maybe because I don't think it's complex enough, maybe because it's got surprisingly unconventional flavors, or maybe I just don't get it...I dunno. My boyfriend and I dined here accidentally when there was a "suspicious package" threat on Peachtree and we were forced into one of the restaurants on the block. His coworker had recently passed on a positive review of Sofi's so we decided this place would be it. Firstly, it was really empty when we arrived at 7:30pm on a weekday evening. Oddly, although it was so empty, our food took an abnormally long time to arrive. We started with the hummus and Sufi's special as appetizers and the Soltani Kabob and Ghemeh Badenjoon as our entrees. I enjoyed the fresh bread and the boyfriend's choice of the kabobs....they were very tasty. The rice is fluffy as promised and our server was exceptional, but then again we were her only table for the majority of our meal. I think my one big gripe about this place is the price. At a whopping $68 for a beer, two dippers, and two entrees, I think you've really got to be rocking some great food, and I really didn't feel it here. Perhaps it was crazy flavors I kept tasting in my Ghemeh Badenjoon, or perhaps I struggled with figuring out why a couple pieces of beef swimming in a plate of thick red sauce would run me $17. Anyway, my boyfriend really enjoyed the meal so if Persian food is your thing, have at it! read more

The perfect place for an intimate setting and kabobs. I had been dieing to come here every time I went to RThomas, their neighbor. It has a cute curved awning with the name Sufi's printed on the outside. You will walk in to a setting of beautiful black metal lamps hanging form the ceiling and white curtains. If I was stuck inside a modern genie lamp, this is what it would look like. The prices range form $18-$29, they offer free valet parking too. We started off with the Sufi special for appetizer. Which is Spicy sauteed eggplant, onion, garlic, chick peas and spicy tomato sauce. I wasn't into it, a bit too spicy for me but my date loved it and licked it clean. It came with pita bread which was still warm. This entire dish was served warm, I am more into the cold Persian appetizers like hummus or even dolmeh. I got the lamb kabob. It was so big I took half home. It came atop a pile of rice called adas polo (our hostess explained adas means lentil and polo means rice). It had basmati rice, lentil, with raisins and golden raisins. It was perfect! My date got the Soltani Kabob:a skewer of barg kabob and skewer of koobideh kabob served with saffron basmati rice. He wished he'd had my rice but his was fine. He got the chicken barg (marinated and tenderized meat) and the beef koobideh (ground and seasoned meat). It was so good! They do offer wines and beers (we had both) to wash down your meal. We were so full we couldn't try a dessert but perhaps next time. We came with a Scoutmob and were pleasantly surprised to find an amazing restaurant with amazing food. This was our anniversary dinner and we will be back for more. read more

Great Persian food. We had the beef kabob and Chilean bass with two different kinds of rice. The bread and hummus was a great starter and the olives were a nice touch. The waiting staff were friendly and accommodating (a slow weeknight). The seats were fairly comfortable. There were pillows for your backside for the seats against the wall. The parking is good but strange as it slants downward. Always a good visit! read more

My new favorite kabob place! Authentic Persian cuisine with delicious grape leaves. We didn't try the cocktails but came around 6 and most of everyone dining there were sitting outside. Lovely atmosphere - casual, intimate, and romantic. We will definitely be coming back again. Highly recommend the shish kabob and the barg kabob. Great service too! read more

Maybe I just don't know Persian food in Atlanta but for the price this place charges (the highest I've ever seen for a kabob), I'm more than disappointed. The beef koobideh is not anything I've ever seen. It's rubbery and is not the chopped and seasoned beef you expect. I really have no idea what this chewy meat is. The almost 25 dollar chicken kabob is np more than a few chicken wings with almost no meat on them. The pita is hard and tasteless. With fine steakhouse pricing this place does not deliver. I just lost 60 dollars for two late lunch meals. read more

We visited last November for my husband's birthday, and I decided I wanted to come for mine, too! We visited Sunday evening, August 17th, and were seated immediately. We already knew that we definitely wanted the hummus plate and the pomegranate cheesecake. We'd had those last time, and they're pretty much the reason why we came back. For entrees, he had the shrimp kabob (perfect, firm, and lightly sweet), and I had the lamb shank (tender and great texture, kind of like a stew, not as flavorful as the rack of lamb, and best eaten with the rice and lamb together). Next time I think I'll get either the shrimp kabob or the rack of lamb. Friendly staff, just like before. Loud atmosphere, but this time it was because we were sitting outside and the exotic birds from the restaurant next door and the sirens and motorcycles revving by got kind of noisy. Will come again! That pomegranate cheesecake is to die for! read more

My group thoroughly enjoyed this restaurant for its excellent service and food. We ordered apps, which were gone within minutes because people couldn't stop eating them, and entrees, both vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes, which everyone was gushing about. Def worth checking out. I can eat it every day. The price might seem to be a little high, but for good food it is worth it. read more

Delicious dolmas. Good drinks. Flavorful meat options. Various savory basmati rice options. Good service. The portion sizes are generous such that the $20+/plate menu items make sense because you're actually paying for two meals. The cheesecake and baklava are nice ways to end the meal. read more

I've been here a good amount of times- with family, friends, parties etc. I just went a couple nights ago and I've got to say, the quality of the food has gotten much much better. It's still not the best Persian but it's good. The service was very good, we had a pretty difficult and large party and they handled it all very nicely. The bread is OUTSTANDING. We got at least 5 rounds. read more

Can't say enough about Sufi's Atlanta! I was notified the day before of an impromptu gathering and decided to let Sufi's cater. They did not disappoint. The food was ready at exactly the right time. A tray of warm pita and salad sides were thrown in extra. All of my guests raved about how delicious and fresh everything was! I appreciate that my order was repeated back to me twice to make sure it was correct. The baklava had us wanting to lick the plate. Above all, the staff was amazing! They went over and beyond to make sure we were happy. Sufi's, we appreciate you! read more

Yo, this place was amazing. We were greeted and sat at our table right away. It was a Sunday afternoon, our waiter was very knowledgeable about the menu, as this was the first time here. We had heard so much about Sufi's Persian Restaurant. The atmosphere was laid back. As the food came out we dug in and our tastebuds began to pop with excitement. We will return. read more

Food was good, staff was beyond it. Ali, (Young Belarusian Girl) was very polite and although we were asking too much and she was alone but she was great. The other staff were nice too. Food was good but a special note for the owner, Rumi and Delbar are great restaurant in Atlanta, you can easily beat them if you work on your decoration and food choices. Anyhow nice place and I staff was the number one in this place. read more

For my 30th birthday I decided to treat about 30 of my friends to my favorite type of food... persian food :) I'm half armenian and my Dad grew up in Iran so we have pretty good radar for good persian food-- since we both grew up on it. I found Sufi's online looking for Atlanta persian food that was pretty close to Midtown.I came for lunch on a work day to try the food, and asked to speak with someone about catering. The manager (owner?) of Sufi's: Mohsen was absolutely wonderful to work with. Mohsen sat down with me while I ate my lunch and we talked through the number of people I was going to have at the party, the fact that I was on a smaller budget for food, and we discussed the type of food my guests would like. Mohsen also gave me advice on how much food I should order and because I was ordering so much he was willing to work with me on pricing. He also asked when the party would be starting and told us the perfect time to pick up the food so that we could make sure everything was still hot and delicious when guests arrived. On the day of the party, my sister picked up the food without me-- and everything was TOTALLY organized and my sister came back talking about how awesome Mohsen had been and how easy and organized everything was. It was really really REALLY great that I didn't have to stress out at all about the food. When the food did arrive at the party -- it was the PERFECT amount of food, it was piping hot, and everybody LOVED it. It was a total hit. People loved the chicken kebab and they loved the kubideh and they especially loved the Sufi's special. Everyone kept asking over and over again where they could visit to get more of this delicious food. I've been eating kubideh my whole life and I loved it. I also had the gormeh sabzi-- and loved it. Oh and the salmon-- was perfect, highly recommend. So I highly recommend Sufi's for both excellent catering and for excellent quality of food!! read more

I moved to Atlanta in February, I'm a new "city" girl and love walking up Peachtree with my pup to sit on the patio for a glass of wine and a flavorful meal! I had never had Persian food before. My pallet history is more Greek and Lebanese with the yogurt eggplant and herbs, but this place has opened my taste buds to some new wonderful flavors! The wait service is always helpful with explanations and suggestions. I often order the appetizer sampler along with a meal so that I can have leftovers for lunch the next day. Tonight I ordered Mirza Ghasemi, Sherizi Salad & Mast Spinach Combo and the chicken Shish kabob with an added lamb kabob. My server Skyler was awesome, she was very knowledgeable of the menu and attentive to my needs. I don't eat bread so she brought me extra veggies for my dipping, and didn't judge me for ordering 3x's more than a normal single diner it's the little things! Dinner was fabulous, once again! read more

Went tonight for our very first time trying Persian food. All in all, the food was in fact quite good. The Sufi's special was spicy, flavorful and well seasoned. The chicken barg I ordered was juicy, well marinated, and a manageable portion. For desert, we opted for the Persian ice cream, which did not disappoint. I especially liked that the ice cream was homemade. The only issue that I have in terms of the food is that the meals (especially the barg) seem to be a bit pricy considering the amount and nature of the food you're receiving (seasoned meat and rice). The downsides of the experience would arise with the environment and service. Our waitress was friendly and was willing to provide insight as best she could on the various questions we were asking about the food. However, the hostess did not provide the best service. We were seated near a table that was not clean and had trash and left over food on the surface. We asked the hostess if we could move to another table on the other side of the restaurant. She said she would need to ask her manager and she proceeded to not come back to our table for the rest of the night even though we made eye contact with her several times afterwards. In addition, the restaurant itself seemed to be a bit dated. Lighting was a bit drab, a few tables were not clean, and the throw pillows on the bench we were seated on were quite badly stained. It would also have been nice to hear middle eastern music instead of the standard jazz playing inside. All in all, I was impressed with the food. However, the service from the hostess as well as the interior of the restaurant could use some development. I'm not ruling out coming back here though, maybe instead opting to seat on the outdoor patio. read more

If I could zero, i wouldnt have hesitated to do so. When you pay this money, you expect a good food. The service was not bad overall but the food without any quality! No decoration! Nothing comes in your plate except the main food. I ordered lamb shank and expected to have at least something beside the rice. The rice was not enough. The Kabobs were smaller than usually served in other restaurants. The most funniest thing was that they charged me for the cheese that usually Persian restaurants serve you at the beginning as a complementary appetizer. Can you believe that? I had not seen this in any other persian restaurants. I can for sure say this restaurant was the worst persian restaurant ever without any hesitation Really really disappointed read more

I was at the Piedmint hospital visiting a friend and ended up eating here by chance because I'm just like that (walked around and just walked in randomly to try a new place I had not eaten at before). I've had Persian food at all of the Persian restaurants in Atlanta and I think this one had just not crossed my path. Personally the way I measure the quality of a Persian restaurant is by the flavor and freshness of the minced grilled beef kabob koobideh. It was fresh and tasty, but not exactly the authentic formula like the restaurants in Iran, however still delicious. the Barg (grilled beef tenderloin) however was not as tender and seemed a bit overcooked. I had the house doogh (yogurt drink) and I loved it. They also make fresh bread in an oven there and serve you that with fresh herbs as their default appetizer which is nice. Overall a nice experience and the prices were reasonable compared to some other Persian restaurants in Atlanta. I'll not name other Persian restaurants in this review as I don't believe it would be fair to the owners of this restaurant and each restaurant has its own qualities. read more

I was passing through Atlanta when I wanted to visit a friend of mine and she was eating here with a friend of hers. I came in very close to closing time but my service was not diminished by it. I really think that Persian food and Arabic/Mediterranean food is very similar and it really depends on the ambiance of the place. Sufi's is one of those places where the air of the place is really part of the experience. The main dining room looks like it's supposed to be set up as a big tent for a king or something. I got the koobideh kabob, which is a lot like a kefta kabob, a ground beef kabob, my waitress didn't understand what that was, which is a little weird since it would make sense to know similar dishes. Anyway the koobideh was good, just like any other ground beef, grilled dish. The beef was pretty good but nothing too special, the price of it though, $14 was a little too steep for what amounted to less than a half pound of beef. Places like this always make me think that for a lower price I could be eating the same food but of the same or similar quality but with a lot lower price. I don't know if Atlanta has a cheap kabob place but I know they're out there elsewhere so I can't rate it too highly. read more

I have to assume most of the people that are writing these comments are neither Persian nor have never had good Persian food. This is the worse Persian food I have had, of course I couldn't eat it. The kobideh was like plastic , sultani was chewy. Bagheleh polo has no baghaleh or dill weed. Waitress had no knowledge of menu...... Simply a horrible experience. read more

My favorite food is Persian. I have eaten in many different places but this is my favorite. I actually have to say that my dinner was the best food I think I've ever had.

I live in SC but I will make it every time I get that way! read more

I went there for Valentine's Day this past weekend. We waited for a few minutes for our table which wasn't a big deal. We were seated in the back side which was covered by a huge tent. Even with the tent it was incredibly cold. There was a very tiny oscillating heater which was occupied by a couple and nobody else could reap the benefits. The waitress was very nice and friendly. However, the service was extremely slow. The entire setup was probably the slowest of all the restaurants I've ever been; there were dishes left after the guests all over the tables. The best thing was the food. It was THE BEST Mediterranean food I've EVER had. The kabobs literally melted in the mouth. We also ordered the hummus which was very delicious either. 5/5 for food. 1/5 for everything else. read more

The food was actually amazing, if you're thinking about going to this place definitely go. I rate it 5 stars even though our server kind of forgot about us for a while, but they were busy so that's understandable. Definitely would go here again. read more
