Sophie's Mediterranean Grill

"Had the harvest salad, Greek salad, and hummus with garlic pita for takeout. The salads were decent, but the hummus was more like 3 stars: a little bit too salty (I've never salty issue about hummus before), and the garlic pita had no garlic aroma at all. But I'll give overall 4 stars due to the salads."

"Food is good, service is ok , but there is no ambiance… of a restaurant, need to work o. It , no Wi-Fi available,"

"A hidden treasure in the world of Middle Eastern cuisine! The service here is top-notch; the staff is not only friendly but also knowledgeable about the menu, making our dining experience seamless. The food is a true masterpiece, bursting with authentic flavors and beautifully presented. The ambiance, with its traditional decor and cozy lighting, adds a touch of romance to the evening. A must-visit for food enthusiasts!"

"Sophie's never disappoints with their fresh, high-quality Mediterranean cuisine. Their signature Grilled Chicken Gyro plates are always cooked just right, perfectly complimented with their signature white sauce. For those who like the extra kick, the hot sauce never goes amiss as well. At Sophie's, you can tell that they truly care about all their ingredients and the dishes that they create. I've tried the Lamb Shank, the Lamb & Beef Gyro, and the Butter Chicken / Chicken Mehkani and I've ended up satisfied with each and every dish. Though some may complain about the wait time, Sophie's doesn't market itself as a fast food place—it is a restaurant. Quality food takes time and care, and Sophie's definitely makes it worth to wait. They cater to both dine-in customers and to take-out, with additional options of ordering ahead through phone, their website, EZCater, Doordash, and a few other common platforms. In terms of the environment and the ambience, Sophie's is pretty plain. It's a restaurant with a varied amount of tables and layouts to accommodate both large and small groups. There are a few TV screens set up for those looking for a quieter ambiance while still being able to keep up with the latest sports and whatnot. They do have a playlist that's stuck on the same instrumental loops over and over again, but eh, it's peaceful for the most part. I'm here for the food, not the decor and the setting. All in all, Sophie's Mediterranean Grill excels at what it does—in providing high quality Mediterranean, Greek, Middle Eastern & Indian Cuisine."

"We recently dropped by to grab dinner at Sophie's Med. Grill, situated in the now-bustling EV square. It's a nice addition to the previously empty section. Walking in, we were promptly surprised by how casual the restaurant is. Most of the service is on you; customers pick their own seats in the spacious restaurant, and all orders are taken up front. Preparation time for the food was short (~20 min), and there's a nice selection of options to choose from. I didn't get a chance to take pictures of all the food we ordered, but the pictures attached give you an idea of the portion size for the entrees. The chicken biryani was a little disappointing because of how little chicken there was. Overall, it didn't taste amazing, but it didn't taste bad either; it was your run-of-the-mill chicken biryani. The lamb shanks (not pictured) and lamb kebob tasted great for the price. That "lamb-y" taste was drawn out and the meat was tender. While other restaurants may prepare lamb better, they'll generally stick a higher price on it. But again, it was surprisingly pleasant. The mashed potatoes side that accompanied the lamb shanks was average, so consider choosing another side if the option is there. The grilled chicken gryo plate had too much of the white and red sauce. Mix it in with the salad though to help reduce the strong taste. Garlic and regular fries were soggy; I wouldn't recommend them. We're not a very big fan of the paper plates. If you're eating a dish with lots of sauce, like the lamb shank with mashed potatoes side, then the plate will get damp. This allows the fork to scrape part of the surface of the paper plate off. While I'm sure that this is a way for the owner to help keep costs low, I strongly urge the staff to consider switching to ceramic tableware. After all, using disposable tableware won't be a viable choice if the number of customers increases. How many paper plates and disposable cutlery will the restaurant go through? Also, there are little flies (gnats maybe?) present in the restaurant that occasionally landed in our food. Perhaps a good fly trap would be an appropriate investment. The restaurant is still new, so I'm sure they're still working out the kinks. While I would come here again, this probably wouldn't be my first choice."
