“Great time and wonderful food“

“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.“

“The best restaurant so far in San Diego!!! The food is amazing and you get a big portion!!!“

“I saw many one-star reviews and thought I should try this place myself and share my own experience. It’s clean, plays Persian music, and definitely offers an authentic Darband-style food experience. I hope people can be kinder to small businesses like this.“

“Great Persian cuisine at a gourmet level of quality. It is situated in an unconvincing strip mall but I was pleasantly surprised with the experience I received. We had the Soltani and Chicken kebabs and the flavor was phenomenal.

So do just give this place a try I was not expecting a place like this to be in Rancho Bernardo!“

“Thank so much to the owner of Marketplace Grille for buying me a wonderful dinner tonight at the Carmel location. Showed appreciation for sure towards someone who’s still apart of the essential workforce. Best Gyros outside of New Jersey you will ever find.“

“By far the best hummus you will ever eat! 💜“

“Any restaurant that sells delicious homemade rice with lentils and dates is a winner in my book! The abundance of options for families with young kiddos, the fresh, whole ingredients, makes this a perfect place for a casual dinner with family or friends. I loved it. Definitely coming again!“

“this is my place... I've never had a bad experience. Clean establishment... fresh...and made to order Mediterranean cuisine. I recommend the chicken schwarma...the fries are a must... and the strawberry apple walnut Salad is my favorite also. way to go Tak Grill.“

“Delicious flavors in the family-size meal, which was impressively presented. Service was efficient and polite. Thank you, will come again!“
