    We are absolutely in love with Sufiya's Grill! We like this location over their other one - the interior is larger, the upstairs seating is particularly good for groups and large families. The food is spectacular! I crave for the adana kebab with the green rice. There are only a few kebab options (about 6), but every one of them is delicious, juicy, flavorful. Definitely upgrade from the basic rice to one of cherry (red), barberry (orange), or green.

    Love the food and has a nice atmosphere. Wait staff was very friendly and able to answer any questions we had about the menu and wine recommendations. Trout was cooked perfectly, kabobs tasted great. Will be back again!

    Went on Sunday evening, it was extremely short staffed only 1 person serving, attending phone calls, taking orders ... it took almost 45 mins just to bring out the table bread while waiting on entrees.no follow up with customers to ensure customers are not frustrated on a busy day. Very very poor customer service. Tables were not cleaned/attended for 1 hr even after customers left. Don't think will ever go back on Sunday.

    Definitely get the Jujeh kebab. It's a whole Cornish hen grilled to perfection. Ive been to the other Sufiya grill in East Meadow and they are both great. The food does take time but that is how you know they are cooking everything fresh. I'd rather my food take a bit longer rather than be reheated. The takeout and online experience was good and everything was packed perfectly. They use foil tray plates

    On a recommendation from a friend I went to lunch at Sufiya's Grill - Merrick. I was not disappointed. Fresh, healthy delicious food. Wonderful atmosphere, friendly service and lunch specials with great portions all week. We got the chicken kebab and grilled shrimp. The pita was out of this way. I highly recommend and will definitely keep this place in my rotation

    Sufiyaโ€™s has great food and great service! Fantastic Persian restaurant. It was crowded on a Tuesday! That should tell you something.

    Entering this place, I found it to be clean and well kept, the staff was friendly, but the service was so slow ๐ŸŒ, really slow. The food was good, but I don't like that there's a surcharge for using a credit card ๐Ÿ˜•, parking was plentiful

    Nice place for Persian food. Wife and I had Appetizers Sampler, Meat Sampler and Seafood Sampler. We had more than enough for a couple of meals. I feel it's a bit overpriced, maybe by $20 on the Seafood Sampler and about $10 on the meat platter. Otherwise everything was good.

    Went here for the first time and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Food was fabulous and not the same ole fare that you find in many other local eateries. Highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Bodhi E. 3 years ago on Google
    Would certainly recommend trying out this place. Excellent character, fresh food, good service. Keep it up.

  • 4/5 Melanie R. 3 years ago on Google
    I enjoyed the food here. I had the lunch special which came with a salad and was a nice price. I had the Adena kebab which is lamb with house seasoning over rice. It was very good but I remember why I don't eat lamb. It was very greasy. The servers were very friendly.

  • 5/5 Elana S. 3 years ago on Google
    One of my favorite Mediterranean place. Delicious meals, feels safe during the COVID. Great portions and everything just nice and fresh! Service was ok. All staff dressed up nice and clean! Good prices on the barcode menu!

  • 4/5 Ra D. 3 years ago on Google
    I ordered a lamb kabob to go. The food was very good, it came with a soup or salad, lots of green rice and pita bread. It was a bit light on the meat but other than that it was excellent. The indoors is just as nice as the outdoors with a welcoming ambiance. The waitress was genuinely nice and interested in providing a good service. I will definitely come back here.

  • 5/5 Shilpa Rani R. 3 years ago on Google
    The food was SPECTACULAR! The lamb shish kebab and the adana kebab are so juicy and flavorful. We also had the combination appetizer, and I wish I could remember the names of the items we chose to include because those were good too. The staff is super friendly and very attentive. Can't wait to go back!

  • 5/5 Marzieh J. 4 years ago on Google
    Nice restaurant and delicious food. The Barg is the best, Juje kabob is tasty, and Kubideh could be better since the taste is not authentic Persian. The service is great and the waiters/ waitresses are professional.

  • 5/5 nelson e. 4 years ago on Google
    Food is delicious and tremendous portions for the price.

  • 2/5 Fred P. 3 years ago on Google
    Wow, I came in on a fairly empty evening (just me and one other customer) and ordered two 20 piece chicken nuggets and a large fries for my 4 kids. This is what they passed off as a large fries. None in the bag. None eaten on the ride home. This is inexcusable. I will not visit this location again.

  • 5/5 Sicko Mode P. 3 years ago on Google
    I come every Sunday and visit through the drive through. A kid named Adam always helps me and he is such a dear! Amazing kid with great manners! Tried giving him a 40 dollar tip for the holidays and he respectfully said no because of company policy. Treat him well!

    So after waiting 15 minutes tonight to place my order at the drive through I get to the window to pay. They ask my order and had the wrong one, no big deal right, I figured they just had to change it in the computer. Well apparently the guy who worked the register couldnโ€™t help since he didnโ€™t take my order. Then a women comes to the window asks me to wait. I Can hear her call out to someone else Iโ€™m assuming a manager and no eye contact. Then the girl puts up her finger indicating one more minute THREE MORE TIMES....needless to say I drove off without getting any food 30 minutes later....thank god Burger King is only a few minutes away. Who ever was working in the Merrick Drive Through tonight Feb 23rd get your game together what a poor performance

    This was my first time ordering from Sufiya's, at the Merrick Location. I love Persian and Mediterranean food and Sufiya's was highly recommended. Great atmosphere. I ordered. Gyro, falafel, and the Hummus. My only complaint, and disappointed is that the falafel was so very dry.

    Had lunch here and was so pleasantly surprised to have stumbled onto this gem. The food was very authentic Mediterranean and so tasty. The pricing was very reasonable and highly recommend having one of there mojitos. The service was excellent and on point. The restaurant was very beautiful and clean with a fresh airy feel to it. Highly recommend this place to everyone.

  • 4/5 Dawn H. 1 year ago on Google
    This restaurant was beyond my expectations. First, I was greeted by an inviting male waiter. He made our evening hospitable. The ambiance and mood was calming. The open area was refreshing. The waiter approached our table in good time and served us water and complimentary snack. We received our appetizers and main meal in good time. The food was great and huge portions. I recommend this restaurant.

  • 4/5 Hunter N. 11 months ago on Google
    Ive been here over 20 times and also order home delivery often. Food is always great and high quality. The service is very inconsistent however. Most of the staff are not very friendly and always seem overwhelmed and just want you to finish.

  • 3/5 Josh S. 10 months ago on Google
    Service was rushed, drinks took awhile to come out, not a very pleasant feel when the waiter is walking away while you are still giving your order. Food is very good, but it feels this place needs more staff and is mismanaged.

  • 3/5 Guido D. 1 year ago on Google
    So much potential. We hadn't visited in a while, hoping it would get better, but unfortunately, this restaurant has a systemic service problem that does not get better over time. The food is good, I just wish they would address the flow and overall experience.

  • 4/5 Frugal C. 8 months ago on Google
    Was feeling Turkish for Labor Day but decided upon here instead. Food & bread was exceptional ๐Ÿ‘. BYOB for a $20 cork fee. Very comfortable setting with light music. My chicken on the bone was grilled to perfection with a nice flame flavor. Some of the best chicken Iโ€™ve had. Was tempted to rate Sufiyas 5 stars โญ๏ธ but we had a few minor setbacks. 1) the AC was not on and it was a hot day 2) I poured my own 2nd glass of wine 3) I waited more than 5 minutes to have my iced water refilled. Sufiyas can definitely earn a 5 stars rating from me on my next visit if they can address the above issues

  • 5/5 Miriam B. 10 months ago on Google
    It was a great place to end the night with. We are not from that area, so it was a great choice we picked. food is delicious. Service is fantastic.

  • 1/5 Wadith I. 5 months ago on Google
    Walked in, and for no reason, the server was very rude. Pointed us to a table while on his cell phone and handed me three menus without even making eye contact. We will never know how good their food is! Walked right out and drove to Hicksville to another middle-eastern grill where we were greeted and served with courtesy and respect.

  • 3/5 Lala A. 5 months ago on Google
    I was actually disappointed by the food and the service. I asked several times if they had included sumac with our take out order, they assured me they had but unfortunately there wasn't any... I wish they had been more welcoming and warm towards us, but they were quite nonchalant the entire time we were there. Most of the staff looked like they didn't want to be there. Very few of them smiled or would engage with the guests. The food itself didn't taste like authentic Persian food, nor can I say that the quality was anything special. Their prices are very high for a place that hasn't nailed proper Persian flavors. I had been craving real Persian kabab kobideh for years, and I was left unimpressed and even bored with how bland the meat was. I asked for medium, and got rare. None of their chefs are Persian, which is why I hope they get more training with Persian flavors. It's not a place I would recommend.
