    A real neighbourhood gem with an uncomplicated menu with a great range of dishes to choose from. Been a while since we were last here and with the service and quality of food and drinks we certainly wont be leaving it as long to come back again. Well done and thank you.

    After wanting to visit Sofia’s for a while, I finally booked a table last Saturday with a group of eight. It was absolutely amazing—everything from the food to the service and ambience exceeded expectations. We opted for the $79 banquet, and every dish we were served was full of flavor and incredibly tasty. The experience was seamless, and the staff made us feel well taken care of. The only downside? Finding parking in busy Surry Hills on a Saturday night was a challenge—but of course, that’s no fault of the restaurant. If you’re planning to visit, I’d recommend booking an early dinner or even going for lunch to avoid parking hassles. Overall, we loved it and will definitely be back!

    Our party of 10 had a fantastic lunch yesterday at Sofia on Cleveland. Everything from the food to the service, to the ambience was faultless and would highly recommend the restaurant to anyone.
