Our carry-out order was missing the side of rice pudding we paid for, so that was a letdown. The falafel plate was literally rice, some falafel balls, and a very thin/small spread of hummus (nothing like what's pictured online). I'm annoyed we tipped them. Be aware this is in a seedy shopping center, too. Lots of foot traffic coming from the nearby extended stay hotel, and my partner was harassed for money in the short walk from the store to our vehicle.

Sophia and I had lunch here last Saturday. I first came across Socotra via a friend of mine off…read moreFacebook when he posted a review on the visit. Everyone in his circle enjoyed their selections. So, I thought of stopping by to see if it was legit. We were greeted by the hostess when we walked inside. It's very spacious with tables and booths. For the booths, they were actually two tables put together, but that wasn't no big deal. We were for the most part the only customers inside. The location is one where people would pass on West Mercury Blvd so it's easy to miss. Come to think of it, I believe this used to be another restaurant that occupied the building. Anyone can correct me if I'm wrong. After looking at the menu for a few minutes, we were both ready to order. I selected their lamb shawarma which came with French fries on the side along with white garlic sauce and ketchup. The food was cooked well, but a few things came to mind. I've had shawarmas before which had a lot of meat and were cut in strips. This one had meat, but it was cut up and plus the seasoning was barely there. It had plenty of veggies inside, but it lacked the amount of protein needed to balance the two. Sophia's plate (which was chicken shawarma) had the same thing and it looked like they lacked the number of fries that my plate contained. In my opinion, this dish isn't one of their popular items to cook from their menu. For anyone who reads this review, please don't take it as being harsh. It's just constructive. I can say Sophia and I will be back here to try another dish and give them another go.

But when you have a lot of restaurants in Hampton Roads, you do lose track. Anyway, let's see how our stay went. We were greeted by the staff when we walked inside. There weren't a lot of people dining for lunch which was fine for the both of us. The less the crowd, the better. There were some tables that needed to be cleaned, but the staff did take care of it before we left. After a few minutes, we were ready to order. Here's what we had: -Strawberry Lassi (for myself) and Mango Lassi (for Sophia, not pictured below). The both of us enjoyed our selections which we've had before. So no descriptions are needed. -Tandoori salmon (for myself) and chicken hakka noodles (for Sophia, not pictured). I'm a sucker for tandoori dishes so this one was a home run. And salmon is fish that I enjoy eating so it was a no-brainer to select. It was cooked perfectly and seasoned great. Sophia enjoyed her meal as well. Another great visit here. Thanks again Aago for taking great care of us. Till next time :)

During our visits here, we've hardly had any issues with meals we ordered. Shall we get into the details? Foot traffic was minimal when we arrived and were seated immediately. We were served water and their homemade chai tea. The vibe was welcoming with soft music playing in the background. After a few minutes, we were ready to order. I selected their chicken schezwan hakka noodle dish along with garlic naan bread to share with Sophia. The noodle dish was very good. I chose the mild spice and it was just right. There was so much served it took me three meals to finish the whole plate. Unfortunately, the garlic naan was underwhelming. When we received the order, it was hard to chew and the garlic taste wasn't strong. Usually, naan is soft when served, but not this time. Despite the naan disappointment, both of us walked away full. A dish like this I could order again the next time we stop by. Till next time :)

My order was ready when I arrived to pick up. The hummus was good and came with pita, it was smooth and creamy. The fahsa was like lamb stew and it was very tender and tasted great.
