Sufi Mediterranean Cuisine is delighted to serve the San Diego with authentic Persian cuisine. Traditional instrumental Iranian music is played lightly throughout the restaurant, allowing customers to be introduced to a small but significant part of the beautiful Persian culture. Paintings displaying people, places, and designs pertaining to the Iranian culture. Samovars, traditional pots used to boil water and brew aromatic Persian tea, are placed behind the bar. Many customers sit at the bar and enjoy the traditional hot tea and other drinks while socializing. Sufi's delicious kabobs are freshly prepared daily and cooked right before your eyes on our open-fire grill. We also offer delicious Lunch Buffet with International Food, Salad & Dessert Bar, Soft Drink, Tea & Coffee daily Monday thru Saturday. Our homemade bread is also made to order, crisp and hot in our oven. We hope to see you at Sufi Restaurant very soon!
