Aya Sofia Restaurant 6671 Chippewa Street, St. Louis, MO 63109

"Loved the food. Everything was incredible. Can't wait to go again!"

"Great authentic turkish food! The ambiance was great and service was on point.I'll definitely be coming back to try more of the dinner dishes!"

"Having just gone to Ayasofya in Instanbul, we decided we should get dinner at Aya Sofia. The decor and ambiance is fantastic. Service was great as well. We started with some red Turkish wine which we enjoyed. The falafel appetizer was garlicky and delicious. I got the doner and feta pide (basically a gyro pizza) and my wife got the Iskender. Both were decent but neither was great. We might just get gyros next time. They have baklava available for dessert but we decided to walk across the street to Ted Drewes."

"I'm not sure if this fits my expectations anymore. I ordered Beef Şiş Kebap. It was alright, but a bit tough and the seasonal vegetables left a lot to be desired. Usually, Aya Sofia offers better fare but recentley, in my opinion, things have changed. The food doesn't taste the same as what I was used to pre-pandemic."

"We got the mixed grill dish and it was too burnt. I'm not sure if the dish is just supposed to be like that though, but blackened beef and vegetables isn't what I was expecting. The waiter took our order and didn't come back till after we finished our appetizer to ask us again what we had ordered (that mixed grill). After being at the restaurant for over an hour and our water got refilled 3x, we flagged down the hostess and asked her to check on our food since we still didn't see our waiter. She brought our food out right away. The booth was uncomfortable too because it's disintegrating, and I was wearing shorts since it's summer, so the seat was very rough. Overall, the best thing about my experience was the busser because he was the most attentive and seemingly the most competent person there. Thank you, bus dude. However, we won't be back."
