Soofi Persian Restaurant

Tucked away in the heart of Birmingham, Soofi Persian Restaurant has built a loyal following with its masterful approach to kebabs. Holding a stellar 4.7/5 from nearly 500 reviews on , this spot is clearly doing something right. The kitchen brings authentic Persian flair to every skewer, drawing on techniques that have been refined over years. It's the kind of place where the smoke from the grill tells you the food is going to be exceptional before you've even taken a bite.

Think tender, charred cuts of meat, marinated with saffron, lime, and sumac, then grilled over open flames until they're juicy and smoky. The koobideh—minced lamb blended with onion and spices—is a standout, while the barg, a fillet of marinated steak, offers a more luxurious bite. Each dish comes with fluffy saffron rice or flatbread, grilled tomatoes, and a scattering of fresh herbs. Soofi Persian doesn't just serve kebabs; it celebrates them. Order directly through and taste why Birmingham keeps coming back.
