“I honestly don’t understand why the reviews here don't match the other locations. We have both dined in and ordered take-out, and we have been completely satisfied every single time. The kabobs are always incredibly fresh, delicious, and honestly larger than what you get at other places. Even the salads are consistently fresh. This location deserves way more credit, and we will definitely keep coming back!“

“Where do I begin? From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with amazing customer service. The conversation while ordering felt so genuine and welcoming, and we even got to learn a little about the history of the restaurant and the story behind the business. It made the experience feel personal right from the start.

When the food came out, we were shocked by the portion sizes. Everything was incredibly fresh and flavorful. The meat was cooked to perfection, tender and packed with flavor. The pita and hummus were delicious, and every bite tasted fresh and homemade. For dessert, we tried the baklava and rice pudding—both were outstanding. The baklava was rich, sweet, and perfectly balanced, while the rice pudding was creamy, smooth, and absolutely delicious.

What really stood out was how welcomed and comfortable we felt. Between the amazing food, warm atmosphere, and exceptional service, this place truly felt like home.

We actually discovered this restaurant through a Groupon, and I’m so glad we did because it has quickly become our new favorite spot. I will definitely be bringing my friends and family here and recommending it to anyone I get the chance to. If you’re looking for authentic food, generous portions, and a place that genuinely cares about its customers, this is it!“

“Great food. I got the beef wrap and it was made with love. Come support this spot. It’s real Persian food. I didn’t expect to come into this spot but I’m so happy I did. Great service I taken care of the owners who was very kind. Come support them it’s hard owning a small business. Go here instead of kebab shop“

“Awesome service and delicious food! Excellent catering service !“

“Happened to be leaving a game and I turned around and seen this place perfectly located next to Petco Park. When I went inside I was greeted warmly and I asked what the difference was between the regular gyro and the pork belly one. The guy said if I ordered the pork belly the way he makes extra crispy I would love it. Ever since I’ve been back about 3 more times plus I found them near my work in Mira Mesa so that’s four…I’m hooked 🥙“

“We had a wonderful dinner at Veranda and thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience. The scallops were perfectly prepared, and the pork chop was flavorful, tender, and cooked to perfection. The wine selection was impressive, with plenty of great options to complement the meal.
The live music created a relaxing and enjoyable atmosphere that made the evening even more special. A big thank you to Sal, our waiter, who took exceptional care of us throughout the night. His attentive service, recommendations, and friendly personality truly elevated our dining experience.
Great food, excellent wine, outstanding service, and live entertainment—Veranda delivered on all fronts. We look forward to coming back soon!“

“If you’re craving fast, flavorful Mediterranean food in Las Vegas, Greek Chicken Café should be on your radar. You can grab it as a plate, a pita, or piled into a rice bowl—with sides like golden roasted potatoes, fluffy rice, and cool, creamy tzatziki that’ll have you licking the fork. Everything’s made fresh, and most meals won’t break the $15 mark. The star of the menu? Rotisserie chicken that’s marinated in lemon, garlic, and herbs, then slow-roasted until it practically falls apart. And if you’re short on time, their takeout game is strong. Cravings satisfied!“

“Ya’ll, tell me why I haven’t gone to this place sooner. I’m so impressed it’s not even funny. I got the wagyu bowl with french fries and it’s hit all the spots, especially since it included TABOULI!!!! I am a tabouli lover. Yum yum, will come back!“

“Exceptional Experience for our new borns celebration of 80 guests by Javid and his employees. Javid is one of the kindest, most welcoming, and extremely professsional owner I have ever got a pleasure to work with. Our sons event that took place in early November was a success. starting from the arragnements of the place, to delicious appetizers, leading to the main course, to all the way desserts and fruits. Javid and his team did an exceptionally well job in making our event a memorable one. Both servers that were assigned to us were the most amazing DUO you could have ever asked for. Knowing how much tea our people drink and how demanding our guests can be. EVERYTHING was taken care of very well without even asking all tasks were performed simultaneously. Javid thank you so much for all your hospitality and to SUFI's amazing team work. I am not doing any of our future events anywhere else but here at SUFI MEDITERRANEAN CUSINE. THIS PLACE IS AWESOME.“
