Soufi Persian Grill & Lounge offers a delightful taste of Shiraz right here in Ontario. From the moment we were greeted, the hospitality was warm and inviting. We started with an incredible dish of olives and fresh pomegranate seeds – the perfect balance of salty and tart. The kebabs were the real highlight, cooked with a distinct Shirazi influence that set them apart. Tender and flavorful, they were a testament to the chef's expertise. We also loved the unique yogurt drink, a refreshing treat adorned with a delicate rose flower. Soufi Persian Grill & Lounge is a must-visit for anyone seeking authentic Persian cuisine with a Shirazi twist. The food is excellent, the atmosphere is welcoming, and the service is top-notch. Highly recommended!

Fantastic food. The koubideh and chicken skewers were juicy and tender, and the eggplant borani was very flavourful. Had a nice talk with the owner, and he's wonderfully passionate about his cuisine. Highly recommended place to eat!

Soufi Persian Restaurant in Richmond Hill is a hidden gem! The food is absolutely delicious, with rich flavors and generous portions. The kebabs are perfectly grilled, and the saffron rice is a must-try. The cozy atmosphere and friendly service make it a great spot for a family dinner or a casual night out. Highly recommend the *Barg* and *Koobideh* kebabs—so tender and flavorful! A fantastic taste of authentic Persian cuisine. Will definitely be back!

This was our second visit to the restaurant, and once again, it was an incredible experience. We’re thrilled to have found this gem and it’s officially become our go-to spot for kebabs. The food was exceptional—each dish bursting with flavor, allowing you to savor every ingredient. The doug (yogurt drink) was the perfect complement to the meal, a delightful cherry on top. Rose, our server, was exceptional—attentive, friendly, and made us feel right at home. From the impeccable service to the cozy, welcoming ambiance, everything was flawless. We couldn’t be more pleased and are already looking forward to our next visit!

I visited this wonderful Persian restaurant for Yalda Night, and we had an amazing time! They had a DJ playing great music, and they even prepared some beautifully cut fruit for the celebration. We tried their Vaziri and Kebab Torsh, which were absolutely delicious. I also regularly order their Koobideh Bazari for takeout, and it’s always fantastic. Everything was perfectly cooked and full of flavor. A big thank you to the staff for making the evening so special. I highly recommend this place to anyone craving authentic Persian cuisine!

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! Soufi Toronto transported me straight to Shiraz the moment I walked in. The walls are filled with beautiful pictures of iconic Shirazi landmarks — it felt like a warm, nostalgic walk through the heart of the city. The koobideh was hands down the best in town — juicy, flavorful, and grilled to perfection. Their house-made ayran was creamy and refreshing, just like you’d have in Iran. The cherry on top? The incredibly welcoming staff and owner, who even brought us tea with such kindness and genuine hospitality. It’s rare to find a place that captures both the flavors and the soul of home, but Soufi does it effortlessly. Can’t wait to go back!

An amazing restaurant with excellent service and very friendly staff. The lamb stew and other dishes were great, but let me tell you about the koobideh kebab—it's honestly unmatched in Toronto. I’ve tried koobideh at many places, but this was by far the most delicious I've ever had. The prices were reasonable considering the quality, and the environment was clean and pleasant. Also, don’t miss their delicious shallot yogurt served with freshly baked bread—so good! Thank you for the amazing food and great service!
