I almost posted “TGIF.” Nothing else.
It had been a loooong week, but it did end well.
Dinner @ Sufi’s Kitchen tonight was really good. I got to catch up with an old friend and tried a new dish.
We ordered the Sufi’s Special as an app – sauteed eggplant with onion, garlic, chickpeas, and spicy tomato sauce. The server kept warning us that it was really spicy. It wasn’t. There was just a tinge of heat on the end.

It was served with a fantastic flat bread (made fresh in-house). It was baked in a stone oven that gave it a perfect crunchy char. This was accompanied by the traditional dish filled with thyme, basil, mint, feta, butter, olives, walnuts, cucumbers, and radishes. My favorite thing about Persian restaurants is this hodge-podge dish. It is fun to try different combos with whatever app you order.
For dinner, they offer a Chicken Kabob Salad. Normally, kabobs are served over a giant place of saffron rice. The rice is good (I love saffron), but I’m not a huge rice fan so the salad offering was perfect. I loved the chicken – it was perfectly grilled. Plenty moist (ewwww… she said moist!) and still retained it’s lemony-marinade flavoring.
We ordered the Pomegranate Cheesecake for dessert at the urging of our waitress.
***Warning*** They give you the hard-sell bringing out the tray of pornographic irresistible desserts.
Pass on the dessert. It wasn’t worth it. Go next door to R. Thomas for that chocolate chip-banana cake instead.
Their wine list is sub-par… BUT you can BYOW and there is no corking fee.
I’ll take that any day!
No pics – we got caught up in conversation and flat out forgot. 🙁
Verdict: Worth a visit. Don’t miss out on the appetizers. Pass on the dessert. Next time I’m trying the chicken-pomegranate stew.

Apparently it is Super Bowl weekend. I don’t watch pro-football (love college ball… can’t get into NFL).
Who should I bet on???
