Never had Persian cuisine before and was pleasantly surprised at how good it was. The waiter was extremely helpful giving recommendations and explaining the food. The interior is very nice and feels like a very formal place to eat but the dress code was relaxed. I strongly recommend getting the dolmas and pickled vegetables for the appetizer. And you need to finish off with a desert of the saffron and Rose water ice cream. Parking is pretty limited and if you go during peak hours expected to be very busy. I was strongly recommend getting a reservation. I hope to go back here again - good yummy food.

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

My friend recommend this place to me and after looking at the menu, I decided to go there. It was on a weekday and there were not many customers inside, maybe 3 tables. The staff were super nice and attentive. They recommend dishes that were great and when they brought the foods they saw that I had airpods in my ears (I was just watching Youtube since I went alone) and she spoke to me by whispering. This shows how much they care because I could have been on a call or something. The restaurant is well decorated with nice ambient music. The foods were delicious. I love the appetizer (eggplant with yogurt) and the kabab were flavorful and tender. The eggplant soup I took home was well packed and very good as well. I also tried Persian tea and it was nice and aromatic and they brought it at the right temperature. I will definitely be back for other dishes in the menu and recommend this place to anyone looking for good foods.

First time visiting Sumac Cafe and it was amazing!!! The food was phenomenal and you could really taste how fresh and handmade everything was!
