    I don't normally leave reviews unless the food is phenomenal. This place deserves a shout out. We ordered the lamb shank and chicken barberry which were also the specials for the day. Both meats were cooked to perfection, juicy and melted right off the bone! Their baklava is fresh, buttery and authentic just like in the Middle East. The Persian tea on their menu is also a great try served in Persianware and the owner mentioned it's their own blend. Lovely quaint ambiance, perfect for a relaxed enjoyable meal. 10/10. Would recommend this to everyone in a heartbeat!

    The food was delicious. We had stewed aubergine and lamb fillet with Persian rice, a bottle of beer and a pot of mint tea. It all came to about £40. The service was friendly and the food was served very quickly. The portions were small however. This is why I give the restaurant 4 stars. It’s a small venue with a nice family atmosphere. I would recommend it.

    I’ve been twice in this restaurant in the last weeks. You can find amazing food, atmosphere and service. I haven’t tried all the starters but most. All pretty goods! And both the Lamb Shanks and Fresh Dill and Broad Beans Rice and the Chicken Barberry are delicious and also all kind of grilles they have. The chef and owner always has helped us to choose and he has always been right with the elections. The quality, size and price is great! I really recommend to go and try! I am sure you’ll go back again.

    Went back to London's best Persian restaurant for a celebratory graduation dinner. We were greeted with some tea and dates to break our fast which was so thoughtful! And as always, we really enjoyed our go-to Koobideh! The hospitality and warmth of Sufi and staff is beyond exceptional! If you are stuck on where to go, always choose Sufi. Thank you for the complimentary desert it was absolutely delicious and really fragrant! Til next time! :)

    I’ll definitely come back for the grills at Sufi as they were top! Their grills are absolutely delicious and very well-made, the whole grill platter was amazing and I’d highly recommend it. We ordered the Sufi platter for 2 to share and tried the chicken skewers, the kebabs and kofta and all were top! Kofta is a bit fatty (as it should be) so I personally wouldn’t order it as a dish on its own, but among a sharing platter is great. The grills also each come with a side of rice and salad which is very filling. The main downside on the food was the starter platters. We ordered the Naz Khatoun and Hummus Classic with the bread. The starters were a bit underwhelming, including the bread. I’d recommend if you go to go to skip those starters and head directly to the grills section which was amazing. The special traditional plates with lamb shank also looked great but we haven’t tried it ourselves. The service was lovely and the place itself is really nice and cozy. Baklava for dessert is super good! Not a fan of the saffron ice cream as it was condensed with rose water but the baklava on its own was lovely. They had vegetarian options as well for the mains and starters which is great!

    Koobide and Jooje with bone were flawless, receiving a perfect 10/10 rating. The Fesenjoon and Khorest Bademjoon were exceptionally delicious. However, the Loobia polo had a slightly overpowering cinnamon flavor for my taste.

    Rating IMO: 4.5 Delicious baghalipolo and Lamb shank. Friendly service and nice music. If you like "ayran/دوغ", you may try their homemade one. Worth a try. I'll comeback to try their grill dishes.

    This place takes you on a fantastic journey to Persia. Food is amazing, starters, grill.. everything. And they serve wine too 🎉 small and cozy. Not too crowded. What a beautiful experience. Thank you!

    Really enjoyable first visit to Sufi Persian Kitchen. Hummus with flat naan bread and Kiki Sabzi for starters, then the Sufi Special for 2 for main. Delicious food served by a delightful young lady (Mahsa?) Highly recommend, look forward to returning.

    The food was absolutely amazing and the service was outstanding. First time I've had baclava in years because it was made with only pistachio and it was absolutely delicious. Will definitely be back.

    Lovely lovely food, a warm ambience & hospitable service. There is a wide variety of dishes (starters, mains) to choose from, with the preparation time for orders being impressively short. The saffron ice cream dessert is to die for, I would highly recommend… Certainly one of the best authentic Persian restaurants in London, hopefully I will be visiting once again in the near future!

    Food as always delicious! Starters are amazing and the grill is yummy. Even when there is new staff, staff are friendly and helpful. One of my favourite places to eat. *****

    Sufi Persian restaurant offers an impeccable Kabab Chenje and satisfying Koobide. The portions, true to Persian style, are ample for a single diner. Service is acceptable, and the restaurant's atmosphere authentically captures the essence of dining in a Persian establishment.

    We had dinner here last night, and it was really good! The place is away from the crowded area and it’s cozy and very comfortable. Feels like home! The staff was very nice and friendly! The food was delicious and the bread was freshly made and it tasted really good. I really recommend this place! Congratulations to the restaurant owners for having such an amazing restaurant!

    I was keen to try this place as the reviews are so good, we were quite disappointed with the food and found it overpriced. We ordered the mixed grill, the lamb kofte was quite buttery, the cubes chicken and lamb were nice but it was overpriced in comparison to other restaurants and didn’t stand out. The mixed grill came with rice (which was delicious), green salad and a fresh naan. The naan was cold and dry, didn’t taste very fresh. The hummus was delicious and competitively priced at £5. The hummus did not come with any bread, you had to order that separately costing £2.50 which felt pretty extortionate. I like to eat locally but I do not think I will be hurrying back unfortunately.

    Incredible surprise in London cheswick, it became one of our favourite places. Persian food (the real and authentic one - confirmed by Persian friends) so delicious you want to go back again the day after. Lamb shank and chicken our favourite dishes, to be ordered with a super soft nan bread and Persian tea. Top place for the service too. Family business makes it perfect.

    Great value money. Hidden away from the busy Shepherd’s Bush area, this family-run restaurant is worth a visit. Will definitely come back.

  • 5/5 Marti S. 4 years ago on Google
    Delicious fresh food and excellent service. We had the yogurt & spinach starter & freshly baked bread. We then had the lamb shank special and chicken stew cooked with pomegranate & walnuts. Highly recommend a visit and we'll return if in the area.

    Such amazing authentic food. Ate every last bit. Always excited to go to Sufi and participate in Persian delights

  • 5/5 laki 4 months ago on Google • 1 review
    Sufi’s mouthwatering and authentic Persian cuisine, inviting and serene atmosphere as well as it’s out of this world customer service- makes it one of my favourite restaurants in London. A massive thank you to Parmida and her colleague (sorry I didn’t get your name) for making our evening so special!
