Sufiya's is a great place to grab lunch with your friends. My friend and I came here for my…read morebirthday recently and I was pleased to find that their food hasn't changed from 5 years ago! When we sat down, we were served pita and tzatziki sauce. It was good! We ordered off of the lunch special. I had the Kubideh Kabab and my friend had the boneless chicken Kabab. The kababs were not dried out and they were very tasty, well seasoned, and not salty! With the lunch special, you get a choice of lentil soup or salad. I went with the soup and I'm glad I did! It really hit the spot since I haven't been feeling very good lately. We shared an appetizer of falafels. To be honest, it was a bit too dry for me. The service was great and our waitress was very nice. She gave us plenty of time to look at the menu and order. The restaurant is quiet overall but there isn't a lot of seating available. There's a shared parking lot but it's crowded. The food was amazing but I don't like looking for parking when I'm hungry. Just kidding. I'll stop by again!

The restaurant is beautiful, stark white and ocean blue decor line the walls and give such a clean, oceanside feeling, despite being just off of Hempstead Tpke. It's spacious with a beautiful bar and plenty of tables. I enjoyed a crisp Aperol spritz, and they give complimentary pita that is warm and a dip to start. For the first course I had the patzaria, and they were some of the best beets I ever had, and the skordalia (garlic and almond spread) was the best compliment of flavors. The main was a showstopper. A beautiful whole branzino, perfectly filleted with lemon and capers was expertly cooked, refreshing and delicious! It came with a side of lemony potatoes but I also ordered the broccoli rabe with garlic and feta and was not disappointed. For dessert I had the cheesecake, which is absolutely made in house and creamy and rich. I forgot to take a picture I was so excited to enjoy it! If you're looking for authentic Greek flavors, a beautiful atmosphere and 5 star service, Philia is the place to go. Good job guys.

We also got the fried calamari which was nicely lightly breaded paired with a creamy basil sauce and classic red sauce. As well as tuna crudo. We did expect it to be just saw raw tuna but it had a creamy sauce on it. We enjoyed just different than expected. The crostini it came on was delightful. I would come again

There's 2 small round tables and 2 narrow rectangular tables along the window. When we asked if we could move the tables around to sit together, the female worker said it was fine.

I enjoyed my beef shwarma wrap. I don't care too much for crinkle fries though. Portion sizes are huge. They have a rewards point system if you go regularly. I recommend this place.

But the food didn't really live up to the setting or price point. Considering there are quite a few Persian restaurants on Long Island, the dishes felt underwhelming in comparison, especially the meats, which came across as lacking depth of flavor and didn't stand out the way you'd expect given the cost. One thing I also found annoying was how the rice was served in a separate bowl next to the kebab--it made the whole thing kind of awkward to eat and less enjoyable than if it had been plated together. That said, the ice cream was actually really good and probably the strongest part of the meal--smooth, rich, and worth ordering on its own. Overall, it's a place with a nice atmosphere and solid service, but the food doesn't fully justify the hype or pricing, aside from the desserts.

Most of us hadn't been to the establishment since it became Plori, and only knew it as the Italian place! The staff was so sweet and accommodating and brought us to our table immediately - a nice quiet corner. We decided to go for a full on tapas style meal by ordering all their apps and only a couple mains and desserts. The highlights for me were the octopus - cooked SO perfectly, it's a must try!!! The Plori crisps, reminiscent of the ones from Kyma - so so so good!! The sauce on the side balanced it out SO perfectly! Their breads and dips were top notch as well! But the star of the show was their signature dessert - a Greek napoleon of sorts which had raspberry and crunchy bits - absolutely insane and out of this world!!!! While they did forget a couple of our items, and we had to remind them, it was overall a great experience, the only real con for me was the cost - it was definitely on the pricier side and portions were smaller than what we were paying for! Regardless - I do recommend for a visit! Such a fab restaurant!
