The food was absolutely amazing. Persian food is simply the best, there is no other cuisine that has such flavour. We had the sharing plate for two which could have easily fed three people The atmosphere is relaxed and I enjoyed the music. The staff were very friendly and attentive. We will definitely come back

The atmosphere is very nice and inviting. I loved the authentic Iranian cuisine-everything tasted fantastic. The appetizers were excellent and arrived quickly. The main dishes were delicious, and the portions were generous. I also appreciated the selection of fresh, in-house juices and soft drinks available. Highly recommend!

Food was really tasty and everything was cooked to perfection. We had the hummus and bread, mixed tray for 3 and some tea and baklava to finish. Nice spot for a casual meal out - would definitely visit again!

A Hidden Persian Gem in Birmingham Today I had the pleasure of dining at a Persian restaurant in Birmingham with my daughter ( she had great grilled prawns ) , and I must say, it was an unforgettable experience. It was only my second time trying Persian cuisine—and the first time in a restaurant—but I was absolutely blown away by the richness and depth of flavours. The highlight for me was the Iranian tea, beautifully aromatic with hints of cinnamon and cardamom. It was served with such care and attention to detail, accompanied by elegant, caramelized sugar sticks that added a lovely touch of sweetness. For the main course, I had saffron rice served with lamb shank in a delicately spiced, flavorful sauce. Every bite was tender and bursting with taste. We also enjoyed a delicious salad called ‘fattoush’, which added a fresh and vibrant contrast to the meal. Adding to the wonderful experience was the service—we were looked after by an incredibly beautiful and polite young woman, whose warmth and kindness made us feel truly welcome. The entire experience felt thoughtfully curated, from the presentation to the warmth of the service. I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone curious about Persian cuisine. I left feeling satisfied, impressed, and eager too.

The food was amazing. The food portion is generous. The taste is unique. The staff behaviour is so professional, nice and welcoming. It is a high class restaurant. Also, the dessert with Persian tea was amazing. we ordered brownie with ice cream. The brownie was home made, so fresh, tasty with dark chocolate. we will come back again

I visited the place during my one day trip to Birmingham. The food was very good quality, fresh and very tasty. The portion was huge. I had Mirza Ghasemi and kebab sultani. I have visited many Iranian restaurants and this one is definitely one of the best. The only thing that ruined the experience a bit was the wait time. It took 30 mins for the starter and one hour for the main dish to arrive. Fortunately the wait was worth it.

Soofi is an absolute gem in Birmingham! The food is authentic, flavorful, and beautifully presented — every dish tastes like it’s been made with love and tradition. The kebabs are juicy and perfectly grilled, the rice is fragrant and fluffy, and the stews are rich and full of depth. The staff are incredibly warm, welcoming, and attentive, making you feel right at home. The ambiance is elegant yet cozy, ideal for both casual dinners and special occasions. One of the best Persian dining experiences I've had in the UK — highly recommended! Arash Was amazing ,he is the back bone of the business i reckon. Well done arash
