Ate here for my birthday in Spring 2026. The service was REALLY good. Our drinks were never empty, but they were not intrusive. Super warm and nice, but also don't take over your time. The perfect balance. The food - just incredible. We all got something different and I got to taste each one. The Chicken Barg Kabob was everyone's favorite. The Chicken kabob is VERY close though. I got the Soltani which was also amazing. The thing to do though is sub out the Zereshk Polo rice. You won't regret it. I got a little adventurous and ordered the Torshi - pickled vegetables. I'm not really into vegetables and I was a little worried when it showed up and didn't look very appealing to me - but it was SO good. Loved it. The staff were seemingly entertained that I liked it - apparently it's only Persian people that are into it, and they kind of laughed when I wanted to take the leftovers with me. My son liked it too though! And he's picky. We were getting ready to go when suddenly they brought an ice cream and wished me happy birthday. I think they heard my son wish me a happy birthday at dinner. Just really paying attention to detail. So this bright yellow Persian ice cream shows up. I've never had it. It is really different - like a cross between dinner and desert flavors. That doesn't sound good but trust me it's great. Again, my picky son loved it! It's got a saffron-pistachio-rose thing going on that actually really works! Much of this is probably very familiar to those who have enjoyed Persian food before. For our family it was a new and wonderful experience. I love this restaurant and DEFINITELY want to come back for Father's day. This is going to be my new special occasion spot. read more

My very close iranian friend was visiting Atlanta and we chose to take her to Sufi's kitchen. She loved the place and the vibe . Also made friends with the serving staff and they cherished their back in their country moments The food was a good proportion for all of us and we all enjoyed it very much. We were 6 of us the music was low so we could actually communicate with each other . read more

A hidden gem near Midtown and Buckhead! Since I have found this restaurant several weeks ago I have been there for three times and the experiences were all good. This spot is clearly not the Rumi or Delbar style -- its not a big restaurant, its decor is low-key, its dishes are not as creative or seasonally chaing as Delbar... But they do serve some good quality, affordable Persian food, especially some you cannot find in nearby Middle Eastern restaurants. For example, the Ghormeh Sabzi was an interesting meat and herb stew with an amazing hinty of sourness from dried lime. They also have Ghormeh Bademjoon, but unlike the Delbar version which uses lamb shank, theirs feature bite-size cubes of beef, and I think their portion of split peas is better than Delbar's. Other uncommon dishes include e.g. Mast spinach, a yogurt-spinach blend. My friends and I both think their Shirin Polo is better than Rumi's because they put carrots and their orange zest had more fragrance. However, I found that the saltiness of their complimentary barbari bread was constantly changing lol and for most of the time too salty for me. Service was fast, perhaps because the restuarant was usually not packed with ppl., and the staff were friendly to me. I will definitely return and try more interesting dishes -- perhaps at lunch next time, as the dishes are just less expensive for lunch. read more

Sufi's Kitchen - Homemade pita with cheese and veggies. Salmon with Persian style herbed rice and roasted tomato - Persian/Iranian Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

A friend recommended Sufi's Kitchen and we are so glad he did. We had an amazing meal. The noise level was low. Our server was friendly. We started with the appetizer trio, hummus, eggplant, and falafel. All three were good and served with plenty of pita bread. They also brought out a small plate of cheese, olives, cucumber and nuts. For the entrees, we tried the Zereshk Polo with Chicken Kabob. This was the star of the night. We all agreed that the chicken was seasoned beautifully and the rice was very tasty with barberries giving it a slightly sweet flavor. The lamb kabobs with the basmati rice was also good. This rice had raisins and lentils. The stew was a vegetarian dish, also enjoyable. We did save room for desert. We shared the Baklava Cheese Cake. It was a generous slice of baklava with a cheesecake layer in the middle. So good! We will definitely come back to Sufi's. read more

Such a great restaurant. I had the lamb and my daughter had the lamb shank. Healthy portions with great seasoning and great service. We went on a Saturday afternoon so it wasn't too busy. There's parking in the back and if you come into the evenings, you will most likely have valet. Try the lamb. Yum. read more

Really delicious food for a good price for downtown ATL lunch. Lunch came with some bread & toppings. I didn't really know what to do with it so just wrapped it with everything included. It was so good! I ordered a chicken wrap and my husband the beef skewer. Portions were filling - couldn't finish the wrap but my husband did finish his plate. My wrap was flavorful and filling. Husband said the beef was super tender and went well with the rice and roasted veg. Overall would def return next time I'm in the area! Service was a bit slow but they seemed busy at lunch. read more

The best Persian food in Atlanta. The people who work there are all very nice, and the atmosphere is amazing.

Sufi's offers a cozy atmosphere with warm and attentive service that really enhances the dining experience. The standout dish for me was the Joojeh Kabob -- perfectly marinated bone-in Cornish game hen with a subtle saffron aroma that paired beautifully with the fluffy basmati rice. While the portion was on the smaller side for $23, the flavor more than made up for it. The Lamb Koobideh Kabob was another highlight -- generously portioned, juicy, and grilled to perfection. At $22, it's a great value for the taste and amount of food. I also enjoyed a glass of Bordeaux for $10, which paired nicely with the Joojeh Kabob. While the wine itself was solid, the pour was on the smaller side. That said, I appreciated the comprehensive wine and drink list -- they clearly put thought into their beverage offerings. Overall, a strong 4-star experience. Would definitely come back for the friendly service and delicious kabobs. Great food, great service--just a few minor tweaks away from perfect. read more

Sufi's Kitchen - Joojeh Kabob Dinner - Persian/Iranian Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Wow, just wow!!! This hidden gem was beyond our expectations. We walked in and the aroma immediately hits you. The menu had a wide variety of dips, spreads, salads, kabobs, and diverse entree options. We ordered multiple items and shared them family style. The appetizers included hummus, grilled chicken wings, and a eggplant/carmalized onion dip. The eggplant dip may have stole the show for me. For our entrees we had filet mignon kabobs, and lamb chops served with the most delicious side of rice and a roasted tomato. The lamb chops absolutely melt in your mouth. Finally for dessert we had a rosewater pistachio sorbet and a baklava cheesecake. Let me just say this meal did not disappoint. On top of the wonderful food, our service was excellent. Elder our server was knowledgeable as well professional. We will definitely return and encourage you to try it as well. read more

Came here for lunch and wow! The shish kabob was cooked to perfection and grilled nicely. Service was excellent and pleasant guitar music in the background. Definitely would come back. read more

The food at Sufi's is authentic and delicious. We particularly love the salmon and chicken kabobs either delicious rice selections and grilled veggies! Food gets a 5 star! On the flip side, the dining experience is less than optimal - gets a 3 star! The interior is outdated and the patio could be fabulous with some interior design touches - plants and nice tables and chairs to create an Ambience. Because of the lack of ambience, we do love to take out here instead! With a little investment in your restaurant, it could be great! read more

Our first visit was nothing short of amazing. The service was perfect and food was delicious. I don't which I enjoyed more, the wings, or the filet kabob. We will definitely be returning. read more

Great lunch @ Sufis , been a regular for several years and they never disappoint. Look forward to return soon.

So good that I hesitate to leave a review for fear of it being crowded in the future! Ash took great care of us!! We'll DEFINITELY be back!! A+ read more

What Sufi's Kitchen lacks in atmosphere, it more than makes up with wonderful food, friendly service and inexpensive prices. I prefer Sufi's Kitchen to Rumi's Kitchen. It may not impress a date, but it won't empty your wallet either. My wife swears Sufi's has the best hummus in Atlanta, and I've been impressed with the kabobs, beef, chicken and salmon. I'm looking forward to eating my way through their stews next. I don't know much about Persian cuisine, I just know that Sufi's Kitchen satisfies my appetite every time I eat there. read more

Amazing Persian food and authentic... I'm going to say it's the best Persian east of the Mississippi We were visiting Atlanta and stopped by for dinner. Amazing beef kabob (soltani). But my favorite was the eggplant stew (gheime). If you don't like trying new things, stick to the kabobs. They won't disappoint. read more

Another sub par Atlanta restaurant. My family loves Persian food. Sufi's Kitchen is in the neighborhood and while it is not quite as good as it was 10 years ago, it has been a good staple for good takeout. Tonight, we ordered the chicken and beef koobideh. It was not edible, undercooked beef charred on the outside and over spiced chicken. The bread used to be delicious and homemade. It was dry, cold and chewy. Garlic overload. It seems this restaurant no longer cares. Employees obviously have no autonomy to help a customer or to make a decision. When I called about the bad order, the person answering the phone said that "Mike" would call me tomorrow. That is so sad when staff working in a restaurant cannot really help a customer. That, in and of itself, tells me a lot. read more

Very good Persian food however a bit pricey. Waiter always is very attentive and kind.

Had dinner here on 2/26/2026 starting at 8pm. The food was delicious as usual, BUT something is wrong with the restaurant management. The restaurant manager seemed agitated from the outset, furiously pacing around the restaurant floor, and appearing to convey that she wished we and others dining in the restaurant weren't there. The waiter was clearly instructed to rush us through our orders. At around 9:15pm, the manager abruptly flipped the sign on the door from "Open" to "Closed". At 9:30pm, she yelled at all the diners (just two tables were occupied in the entire restaurant including ours) that "The Restaurant is Closed! You need to Leave Now!". I found this very odd and unprofessional given that the stated closing time of the restaurant is 10pm. Nevertheless, we complied politely and left. I will not be coming back here to dine in again. read more

Hands down the best Persian food I've found in the U.S. so far! If you're looking for a truly authentic meal, you have to check this place out--the flavors are incredible and tastes just like the real deal. On top of the amazing quality, the prices are surprisingly sweet for the portion sizes. A must-visit spot! read more

Sufi's was a pretty good formal Middle Eastern spot in Buckhead. There's a massive lot in the back, making parking super easy. We were there at around 6:30 on Monday and were the first table to sit down. We got a roasted eggplant app to start with and then I had the lamb chops. I also tried the steak kebab and all three of the dishes were really good. I also wasn't expecting to like the raisin in the rice, but the rice was good too. Overall, Sufi's would be my choice for a formal Middle Eastern restaurant in Atlanta, but I do like the ambiance of other places like Delbar and Rumi's a bit better. read more

Came here for dinner- doesn't get busy until after 7:30 p.m.. Delicious food, incredibly fluffy rice, good service always filling your pita bread and waters, good parking right behind (HUGE lot), tucked next to a burrito and breakfast joints (each with their own funky personality). Good flavors and would highly recommend coming back here again. Ordered the appetizer trio. hummus was smooth with a bright zesty flavor. Also got the Sufi's special which was an eggplant tomato based gravy that paired beautifully with the humus on pita bread. The falafel was also great- I'm usually not a falafel person bc I find them to be too oily or too chick pea heavy but this one had a beautiful bright green filling. The pita bread is extremely addicting. Be careful not to overeat before you get to the main courses. I ordered the Ghemeh Bademjoon which Chunks of lean beef cooked in tomato sauce, split peas, sautéed eggplant, onions and served with saffron basmati rice. A beautiful dish that was reminiscent of Moroccan spices for me. not too strong, soothing and warm with the fluffiest rice possible. Others in my family ordered the lamb shank which fell off the bone and was delicious. There were a bunch of different kinds of chicken kabobs and what differentiated them all was the type of textures (cube, ground, all in one stick, etc). Good service and clean area- seemed to be a hit with other Persian folks. Would come back here again. read more

we were on our way to the airport and wanted an early dinner - something light so decided to stop by Sufis for appetizers. It's my first time at this restaurant as we generally go to another Persian restaurant in the city. The place is small but we were seated right away and the service was quick and good. We ordered the appetizer sampler in which we could choose 3 appetizers so we choose the eggplant and salad shirazi; we ordered the yogurt as another side; and then a side of rice. the appetizers came with fresh bread and complimentary mint, parsley and feta cheese was given the eggplant and salad shirazi were good as was the rice; the bread was alright and tasted more frozen rather the fresh. the rice was also good and the portion size was decent for appetizers and side overall a good food experience here. was it good enough to take me away from my other place, no, but it' was decent enough read more

We've been looking for a Persian restaurant near us that was not as pricy as Rumi's (my all time favorite) that we could enjoy more regularly for lunch or dinner. I ordered the chicken kabob with the Lima beans and dill basmati rice ($3 up charge) and my boyfriend ordered the lamb kabob with saffron basmati rice. Decent wine and bourbon options (we did not partake at lunch). Definitely want to go back to enjoy dinner here. Follow their IG @sufisatlanta so you know when they have a live musician playing (which we love). Kristi is the manager and she was great! read more

Sufi's was my first Persian restaurant experience. Not knowing what to expect, we relied on recommendations from our server who suggested a variety of appetizers, and steered us toward entrees she thought were particularly delicious. -Combination appetizer platter: we chose mast mousier (yogurt with shallots), hummus (SO MUCH YES), and mirza ghasemi (my personal favorite - smoked, roasted eggplant with tomatoes and garlic). -Khorosht bademjoon: sautéed eggplant with tomatoes, garlic, and onions, served in a silver dish next to rice. It comes with saffron rice, but I opted to upgrade to the shirin polo (basmati rice with pistachio, carrots, sweet dried orange peel, raisins, and almonds). This dish was hands down the most interesting thing I've eaten in quite some time. The flavors were so complex and melded so perfectly - truly a culinary masterpiece. The pricing is more than I typically prefer to pay ($20 for the appetizer platter, $19 for entree), but with inflation and location, not exorbitant, and worth it for a special occasion. The outdoor seating area is also quite lovely on a warm Atlanta evening. read more

Delicious Persian food in an adequate setting - and fresh bread! Menu has all the favorites; we enjoyed the chicken kubideh kabobs (upgraded to the cherry rice) and the chicken fesenjun (with the most amazing, nutty stew sauce that I've tasted in a long time, although there was not a lot of chicken in it, so that's a minor complaint). Shirazi appetizer salad was a perfect, small portion to just freshen up the palate. Overall, a solid, four star Persian eatery to which I would definitely return. read more

First time trying Persian food and I loved that I was recommended to try this place. Different flavors from what I usually eat but it was delicious! I'll make sure to stop by again whenever I'm back in ATL. Service was friendly and inviting. Large parking lot behind the restaurant which was a huge plus! Parking in ATL can be do difficult. read more

Sufi's Kitchen - Chicken kabob - Persian/Iranian Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

I was very satisfied. We ordered the lemon chicken soup for appetizer and it was delicious and flavorful. I literally could have had that soup as my entree. I ordered the shrimp kabobs and they were grilled to perfection. The char was perfect. My husband initially ordered the stew and was not to our liking. Thankfully the restaurant us to choose a different dish. This time it was the filet mignon kabobs and they were great. Tender and juicy. The saffron rice was okay, nothing major. Next time I'll probably pay the extra to try a different rice. The pita bread was okay, a bit dry but went well with the soup. It was my husbands birthday and they provided us with a complimentary ice cream which was appreciated. I definitely enjoyed the meal and will be back to order those shrimp kabobs and soup! Recommend you try them for sure. read more

OK, very pleasantly surprised. Came to ATL for the first time and did not expect some bomb Persian food. They did the Zereshk perfectly! It's usually a hit or miss at most places, but this was solid. Also, definitely 100% recommend both the jujeh chicken and koobideh. These are very foundational Persian dishes and unfortunately aren't always done right- BUTTT they were fantastic here. The meats were the perfect texture, taste, temperature. As for service, servers were really pleasant and helpful with reccs---no issues there. Lastly, the place had ample seating and parking so I was all for it. It's a great spot to host dinner with a big group of friends/family. Overall, would definitely re-visit when I'm back in town. read more

If you can afford it just go to Delbar or Rumi's. The meat is always overcooked and dry here. The spreads are excellent though.

delicious! so yummy! Just don't come here expecting a Delbar experience. the food is comparable, but the atmosphere is much more low key even though it is still decorated nicely. but not like an instagram birthday spot. We got the salad shirazi, hummus, and ground lamb kabobs with saffron rice and a side of the yogurt (basically labneh but I forget what they called it). All delicious! I appreciated the gracious pour on my Riesling :-) Service was great, our server was super nice and answered our questions. I'd come back for sure! read more

Sufi's Kitchen - Shirazi Salad Dinner and Hummus Dinner - Persian/Iranian Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Great service and food. I had the lamb koobideh kabob and it was made in a timely fashion and tasted great. Excellent flavor and nicely balanced amount of salt. The peta bread was soft, freshly made and doughy, complimented with a healthy serving of humus with olives, feta cheese, cilantro and basil on the side. The knife for cutting meats was sufficiently sharp. I tried the ice cream. It was not my favored flavor and is an acquired taste. The more I ate, I got acquainted with it. It is a complex flavor of ice cream that is worth trying at least once. Overall, great experience. read more

Had a great Christmas party here on their patio area. The food was great. We had the hummus and all different heavy appetizers of vegetables, beef, chicken, lamb and salmon.

Can't wait to come back and try out some new items on my next visit. read more
