    Lamb gyro platter
    Fran C.

    First time visitors to this fabulous restaurant and they treated us like regulars... friendly, accommodating, fast service yet not rushed. They do not take reservations- we got there by 6:30pm on a Saturday and sat before the dinner rush. The food was delicious, fresh and plentiful. We were 3 couples and they had no problem giving us 3 bills. The water's memory of our orders was epic- didn't write down a thing & got it all correct!! Will return! .... check this place out!

    Grilled pork chops over rice pilaf with onions

    Was going to a recital with friends on Saturday and our group of seven decided to stop for an early dinner at Sofia's. I am so glad that we did. We ordered a variety of appetizers and meals (I tried the salmon croquette app and grilled pork chops) and all thoroughly enjoyed them. They had a lot of good choices on the menu, plus specials, all reasonably priced. Service was good and our waiter made sure to explain everything and answer any questions. The restaurant was packed, another sign of good food. I will be back!

    This is exactly what you want from Mediterranean food. Everything was delicious and prepared just right. I especially liked the grilled octopus. Service was solid. I came on a Tuesday night with two friends and we didn't need a reservation; we were seated right away.

    Back at this fine establishment. First time trying the skirt steak and after probably 100 visits, how did I miss this meal. It was spectacular, soft, and tasty. Service as always was great. Inside can be lo nous but they have outside seating also. It's a byob. Grab your favorite wine and a friend, enjoy a great meal.

    Fried calamari
    Steve S.

    Everything on point. Food, staff, vibe. Only wish they were closer to me so I can eat this stuff every day.

    There were six Dolmades a moment before. Ha!

    I am extremely picky, especially service and cleanliness. Sophia's exceeded at both. We were warmly greeted by Tony and escorted to our table. We sat outside which was lovely. Our drinks arrived just as we finished reading the menu. We had fried calamari, which was excellent. It was a lightly coated, perfectly seasoned and fried just right. The dolmades are just as they should be. My entree was the lamb burger. It was cooked to the medium requested and the rest of the ingredients had a perfect balance so they played nicely together, none overpowering the other. My husband had the chicken gyro. He raved. And the fries... I've never had anything like before. Excellent! Finally, for dessert we had rice pudding which was, thankfully, not to sweet and a delicious recommended walnut cake. On our way out, we found Sophia to be sweet and gracious. Back to Tony. If you visit Sophia's, ask for Tony. Not only is he fastidious about his job but he is also very entertaining. We were lucky to get him and will request him in future.

    I was recommended by my colleagues to check out Sofia's. My partner and I were seated outside on a beautiful Saturday evening. We had a great experience here. The food was absolutely delicious, from the apps to the mains. We were advised to get the shrimp saganaki....literally the best decision ever. It was almost like a lasagna. It was one of the highlights of the dinner, we wanted more. The grilled octopus was good, but not the best I've had. For our main we ordered the mixed platter with a side of horiatiki and greek fries. The meats were tender and flavorful. We loved the fresh veggies and feta. The greek fries were crispy and delicious, perfect side. We had some food left to take home. Also nice BYOB addition to the restaurant. Parking is fairly easy on the street. We will be back! :)

    Falafel! Delicious!

    I've been wanting to dine here for quite some time and I finally had the chance to experience their delicious mouth watering food. So happy to have gone. The server was friendly and attentive, offered a few things on the menu along with their specials. Everything was PERFECT! I want more, want to hurry back and have the grilled calamari which was outstanding in flavor and texture. The chicken was juicy and flavorful. Nothing was overwhelming salty, Just perfect. Outdoor seating available and with umbrellas. I can't wait to go back.

    Black Sea bass
    Nicole F.

    Cute, small, casual restaraunt. The food is consistently good. This time I tried the Black Sea bass special that was served with Horta (which is similar to spinach). The appetizer eggplant dip is one of the best we've ever had. It is byob so remember to bring a bottle if you want to have some wine with dinner. It does get very busy , you can call before you go to check the wait time. In the summer they have outdoor seating too. Street parking can be a challenge.

The rice was plain, which was okay for me. The onions definitely made up for it to combine it together. To top it off I also got fried calamari, it was a little bit chewy overall still had flavor to it. My go to drink was a mint lemonade that they make it into a slushie. I never had a mint lemonade so the taste to the drink was new to me but I loved it! You could bring your own liquor becusse they do not sell that. Overall amazing place for a quick lunch or dinner!

Turkish cuisine is a unique combination of flavors, spices, and herbs developed over thousands of years, influenced by the Central Asian nomads and Arabic, Persian, Italian, French, and Eastern European cultures. While New York has some great Turkish food if one knows where to look, most of it leaves some room for improvement. Could Jersey be better? The town of Carlstadt has mainly residential private homes, with a spattering of condos and garden apartments. The main shopping area is all of about three blocks long on both sides of the street. Translated from the Turkish language, meaning sultan, we have come to this family-owned/family-run establishment located on Hackensack Street since 2006 for Saturday dinner. The reservation was easily made by Google Assistant. Upon entering this hidden gem called Hünkar Restaurant as first-timers, my partner, our friends, and I were greeted by the staff inside a cozy room, where ethnic pictures and decorations as well as the music all add to the vibe. A great view of the NYC skyline is visible from their enclosed back patio. Their menu features Mediterranean and Turkish cuisine with a modern twist and serves alcohol. As an appetizer, we decided on the Kibbeh (Icli Kofte), Calamari (Kalamar), and Cigarette Borek (Sigara Boregi). For our main meal, we opted for Chicken Saute (Taouk Sote), Shrimp Kebab, Lamb Shish Kebab (Kuzu Sis Kebab), and Chicken Shish Kebab (Tavuk Kebab). All Kebab meal accompanied by rice, char-grilled tomatoes, peppers, and a small salad. Warm, fluffy pida bread with a crisp crust started our meal. Every dish bursts with authentic flavor and is beautifully presented, from the fact that Turkish families from all over the area eat here. The staff is warm, welcoming, and very professional; our server was Akincan "John," the owners' son. The price was comparable to the area with the right portion. We can recommend this place.

The baba ghanoush was everything I love in a good eggplant dip and was a definite win in our book - seasoned, textured, and slightly smokey. We intuited this would be delicious by getting two containers of it, and this turned out to be a great life choice. Chicken adana is a fan favorite in our house, and it's done pretty well here. They're like elongated loaves of marinated and spiced ground chicken, and delicious with rice and a dollop of yogurt sauce. We preferred these over the chicken kebab, which were just as flavorful but quite a bit drier. Both entrees were served with a grilled tomato and pepper, which were still warm and charred from the grill. They also came with small side salads, with lightly dressed and slightly wilted greens. My husband appreciated the extra veggies with our meal, but I far preferred the warm and soft pita rounds.

My go-to order of falafels over rice seemed freshly fried, and there's nothing I love better than that bright verdant green color of a flavorful falafel.

This time, I added a serving of chicken to the order. The taste was pleasant - well-seasoned and tender - but I can't say I love the slightly rubbery look and texture of the chicken.

It did tend to overwhelm everything else. But since there was no line when I went, the food was assembled very quickly, and the employees were friendly. It was a decent halal meal, and if the whole plaza was less of a zoo, I would come more. It's a tasty and filling meal option, but like a lot of places, the price is not as cheap as it used to be.
