SO GOOD!!! I would recommend grabbing the chicken shawarma every time they are downtown in the chip parking lot.

The wife was craving falafel tonight so we stopped in. The food was excellent and very filling. We will definitely be going back.

I was really looking forward to trying this restaurant given all the highly positive reviews. To…read morebe clear - this is for the restaurant, not the market. Service - 1 star. After being the only two sitting in the restaurant for 10 minutes, someone brought us menus. Another 10 later, they came back for our order. It was a tad frustrating because an item I wanted to order had a well-worn sticker blocking it out. Placed our food and drink order. Several minutes later, someone different came from the back and said one of the two items was also not available. So another item was chosen. Drinks were not delivered (tea and a water) until the food came 20 minutes later. And the water was a tiny 8-ounce bottle of water. 1.5 hours and we were the only diners. That says something. Food - Of what we could order, the chicken tikka was good but not amazing. 4 stars. The lamb kabob was amazingly bland and tough. So disappointing as I typically love lamb. 2 stars. The hummus was thin and tasted too sour with no flavor dimension to it. Was it old? Better hummus has a slight nutty flavor to it and this needed more garlic. 3 stars. Rice actually had decent flavor. 4 stars. We had both the pistachio and walnut baklava. As a baklava connoisseur, the walnut was far better flavor and texture but both seemed dry and old. Bread was okay. When I look at the number or reviews from those in CA or OR with less than 5 reviews on their account (all giving 5 stars) - it seems clear that people want free baklava or hot tea, as they advertise at the table when you sit down. But they need to read your review first before getting the token item. I have better ethics and higher standards than that. Maybe the restaurant section is on the slide. For a $20 entree, not worth it. There is better in Boise.

I was DoorDashing and the smells inside were fantastic and made my mouth water. My order was ready…read morewhen I arrived and the staff was friendly. And invited me to come eat there the next time!

Our family went here and I got the gyro bowl with zucchini and mushrooms. I put some feta cheese on…read moretop and though I usually use tzatziki sauce, I almost felt it would ruin the meal because it was so good as is! The portion was so large I had half for lunch and am saving the rest for dinner. The rice with the grilled onions was so flavorful. This is definitely going to be one of my favorite spots for a healthy, delicious meal! My 1 1/2 year old who's been getting picky also loved it! I would give more than five stars if I could.

Sofia's used to be in our regular list of go-to spots for take out, but unfortunately it's suffered…read morein the past year or so from a rise in prices and decline in consistency. Tonight our basket of fries, $6, was woefully under cooked and under seasoned. The two rice bowls, lamb ($23.99) and gyro ($16 or $17.99), were just bad. The rice was at least two days old and pasty, and had no lemon flavor. It shrunk away from the walls of the container as though it were dessicated. The gyro meat was in small shreds, as though the cook were trying to make the meat go further and the amount of gyro and lamb meat was at least 1/3 of what it used to be. Tomatoes used to be cut in wedges were now inconsistent, thin slices. And the onions weren't sliced anymore but diced small and dropped in a small patch of the tray. The BFG had a "weird flavor" as though something was old, but the pita was very good--and for the increased price, should have been better. As one who has been to Greece twice, I did used to enjoy a "taste of Athens" regularly, but the consistency issues are too much for a to-go order topping $77 with tip.

Sofia's Greek Bistro - Crumbly, less than tasty falafel. Fries were okay.
