Individual metal baskets of fries, no more need to open little ketchup packets and, of course, still hot and fresh. The Moroccan tea was an unexpected delight. Tasted super fresh and minty so I looked in. Surprise - no tea bag. But lots of fresh mint leaves. Best mint tea we've ever had. The traditional serving pieces really make a nice difference. The only thing that could really stand a bit of improvement is the time from order to arrival. But if the tradeoff is less quality on the eating experience then I'm happy to wait.

Was visiting from out of town and found this place on Yelp. Had great reviews, so we decided to…read moregive it a try. Happy to say they deserved all the great reviews they've received. I had their sea Bass special with their house maid angel hair pasta, along with a carafe of their house Chianti. It was excellent! My wife had the chicken parm, which was a very large portion and she loved it. Service was excellent as well, and pricing was reasonable for the quality of the food and service received. Next time we're back in town, this place will definitely be on the list.

3rd visit, a little disappointing. Food was fine. The service was not…read more From the start our server (Cathy) seemed to have an attitude. Examples: husband pointed out his menu was greasy, she asked if he had a napkin. WHAT? Turns out it was probably dipping oil for the bread, since she later spilled that on my menu! Drinks took forever, and were inconsistent. I asked for fancy olives in my martini...2 others at my table got blue cheese stuffed, 2 (inc. me)got one lonely hollow olive. She started clearing while people were still eating, making us feel rushed. That's 3 examples but it was an overall attitude that permeated service in a less than pleasant way, hence downgrading my review from 4 to 3 stars.

We ordered several dishes including the biryani- which is with bone, chicken Karahi, gosht karahi, achari gosht, chicken Haleem, and mix platter which was basically a combination of malai boti, haryali boti, tandoori chicken, and seekh kabab. Everything was absolutely delicious! The naan was also crispy and wonderfully baked from the oven. For dessert we tried the ras malai- 10/10 and the gajar halwa, which was without khoya, but still pretty good- 7/10 Mango lassi -8/10 The service was splendid ! They even have a prayer area, so that was great too! They also have a shop in the annex where you can get all your local Pakistani spices and groceries (plus decorations). Everything on the menu looked amazing, the ambience was great, and I can't wait to return to this place to try more things!

I got the village salad with steak and my wife got the village with chicken. Large portions. I rarely have a need for a take away container, but I did this time. If you need the criticism, here you go. The Village Salad is good, but it isn't tossed very well. All of the items are together and I needed to move them around in a bowl that is small for such a large salad. Give it a try. You will probably be back.

This was our first visit on a Saturday evening and we were glad we made reservations as it was packed yet still maintained a great atmosphere. Our male server Burak was very attentive, professional, and very friendly. We ordered the Lavash with the mixed appetizer - tabouli, Mediterranean salsa, hummus, and Haydari. Chicken and Beef Kabobs as our entrees. Their signature cocktail Istanbul Peach Martini and a glass of Autorotas Sauvignon Blanc. As always the Lavash was amazing as was the Kabobs. The Kabobs came with a scoop of white rice, potatoes and a great salad with no lettuce, just marinated tomatoes. Cucumber, onion with herbs.

Several friends have been urging us to give this a try, but Somersworth seemed like a haul, but we…read morewere glad we made the effort. The dining room is nice, a bit quirky as it is an old train station. Our waitress was pleasant and was happy to answer any questions we had. Food from the kitchen was a tad slow, but it was a Saturday night and they were slammed. We were told we had to order the bread with the assortment of cold appetizer spreads and that really was fantastic. Piping hot bread, huge and an assortment of 4 dishes to go with it. All were tasty, especially the hummus. This alone is worth the journey to find this place. I had the lamb kofte, which are flattened meatballs usually cooked like a kebob. I was served a large portion and they tasted delicious, plenty to bring home. The other diners with me enjoyed their chicken kabob, falafel and kabob wrap. We thought the prices were fair for such generous portions. We will try again if in the area. Give this place a try if you have been sitting on the fence like me.

I used to frequent Mediterrano in Hillsboro, NH, and absolutely loved it. When the restaurant…read morechanged ownership and then unfortunately closed during COVID, I was genuinely disappointed. About a year later, I found myself craving authentic Mediterranean food again, so I started searching for restaurants around New Hampshire. That's when I came across Ayasofia. As I looked through the menu and photos, everything seemed so familiar--it reminded me of the dishes I had loved at Mediterrano. The next day, my husband and I decided to drive an hour to Salem to try it out, and it was completely worth it. After speaking with the owner, we learned that Mediterrano had actually been owned by a member of his family and that they use the same recipes. It all made perfect sense! The owner was incredibly warm and welcoming, even encouraging us to return and meet his mother, who taught him these recipes. I highly recommend the hummus, baba ghanoush, salsa, and grape leaves--they're all fantastic. Be sure to order the lavash bread on the side, as it pairs perfectly with everything. For a main course, the adana lamb kebab is a must-try. Everything tastes incredibly fresh and full of flavor. I only wish I could cook like this--I'd happily eat Mediterranean food every single day!

Turkish restaurant during the day ... Rowdy party bar at night a great time…read more We got a plate of grape leaves and a chicken Kebab and falafel dinner. My husband was particularly excited by how the rice was made. The grape leaves were good and the dinners came with the red cabage and salad. Delicious. I also got the Raki, because I was having Turkish food, but all the cocktails sounded very good. We did not sit in the bar, but they sounded like they were having the time of their lives in there. At one point Rod Stewart came on over the speakers and you could hear them shouting "ROD!!!" I was like, shit - Turkish food AND the regulars love Rod Stewart? Sign me up! If we lived anywhere near here, we'd be back.
