Overall I would give 4* out of 5*. Chicken tandoori 7/10 and Beef 8/10. I've never tasted such delicious beef in any other restaurant than this one. The texture was very good and and the best part was that, the beef didn't had any artificial flavors and the Veg Basmati rice was heaven and the chef deserve a pat on his shoulder. We really had a wonderful time and all of my friends were very content. Things which needs to be rectified. I asked the waiter for a lukewarm water but I received a glass of hot water. They need to understand the difference between hot and Luke warm. The second time when I asked for another glass of Luke warm water, I was served a glass of cold water and I'm not trying to be a fussy customer here by the way. I really hope they will pay heed to my suggestion so that when someone leaves, they can be happy and fully satisfied as a customer. Secondly the dessert, I wish they can make some changes and upgrade so that, lots and lots of people can visit this lovely place and can spend their day happily and can eat wholeheartedly.

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!

Someone needs to teach these kids how to customer service. They absolutely have no clue what to do when things go wrong. When we ordered 3 meals, the guy at the cashier said it will take 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, he said we only have 2 meals left so we ended up replacing one of the orders with something cheaper but the cashier didn’t refund us the difference. When we got the food, the two meals were cold (the rice & meat). After we complained, we ended up replacing the other two meals with also something cheaper and yet the cashier still didn’t refund us the difference. We eventually asked him to refund us the difference in which he did but it’s something that supposedly should have been done by himself without being told. Even his crew didn’t really care about what have happened here. Overall I and my company didn’t really enjoy having dinner here and doubt will ever come back here again.

I will not even give them a star if i could . they used to be good but i think they have changed the Chef and the food is bad right now . the service is horrible as well . we went today in a group of 16 people . we ordered the Combo plate number 3 and 4 for me and my two friends my 9 years old and her friend ordered the Lamp Chop plate they asked for it to be cooked well done . the food came late and red for the girls . we told the waiters and her reaction was like oh well . then our food came and the beef tasted to bad like the meat has gone bad . we told the waiters the meat is bad and she said what do u mean its bad we told her it taste like the meat has gone bad and she said this is how beef tastes . we told her no it does not taste this way so she said okay i will send the manger . so here comes the ugly man ( the mangers ) he asked the same things and said okay give me all the meat and i will get u something else . after one hour the food came out . we were waiting and we filled our selves with rice and bread . then i told the manger that my 9 years is a good singer and he said or she could sing for us after the program is done then . so the program is done and it was only us who is left and another 4 tables . my 9 years old went on stage and the DJ announced that there is a surprise cuz he knows her from before and he knows what a good singer she is . as soon he did that and my child is holding the mic on stage and the DJ putting the music . i see this ugly man the manger who remind me of the evil man in the Simpson . looked at me in a very scary way then looked at my child in a very crazy scary look . then went like a crazy person to the DJ yelled at him and made the DJ take the mic from my child . who started crying right away . and told the DJ to cut the whole music and to leave . we were all in shock as this happened i felt so bad for my child , the DJ and felt so mad at this ugly man . the look in his face was filled with hate . the other 4 tables were shocked and they said he is a jerk and we will not come back to this place anymore if this is how they treat kids . we walked out as well and we will never come back to this restaurant . the big different between this ugly man manger and the manger before him is like day and night . the manger before him he used to let her sing and dance as much as she wants . one night he kept the place open 1 hour extra while they are cleaning so she can sing more and more . when ever we go there he would come to our table and ask her to sing . this place has lost so many costumers cuz of this ugly man . i was talking to one lady from our group and she said that every time she comes costumers walk out upset and swears the place off their lists . i wish for the sake of the owner he reads this review and he do something about this ugly man , and the Chef as well . good luck to everyone who is going to be the next victim to this ugly man . we are done with this place for good and for sure will be sharing our experience with...

We visited Sufi Restaurant and ordered a meal that was supposed to be discounted at $14.99. However, when I was charged, the price was $16.99 instead. I immediately informed the cashier that the correct price with the discount should be $14.99, as shown in the offer I presented. Instead of verifying the discount through his computer, he started asking his colleague for confirmation.

This was not the first time I encountered such an issue at this restaurant. The cashier repeatedly questioned the validity of the discount in front of other customers, asking me to prove it multiple times, including the date. After confirming that everything was accurate, he told me it was the last day for the discount, to which I replied that I was already aware. However, he still reset the price to the original amount, and I had to correct him again.

This experience was frustrating because if I had not been paying attention, I would have been overcharged. The cashier should be able to verify promotions through his computer, rather than making customers prove them repeatedly. It is the restaurant’s responsibility to ensure that employees are well-trained and aware of active discounts. Such practices undermine customer trust and create an unpleasant dining experience.

Additionally, the food was served cold, and the presentation was poor. Overall, the experience was disappointing, and I encourage management to address these issues to improve service quality. I hope this review is taken into...
