I was really looking forward to trying this restaurant given all the highly positive reviews. To…read morebe clear - this is for the restaurant, not the market. Service - 1 star. After being the only two sitting in the restaurant for 10 minutes, someone brought us menus. Another 10 later, they came back for our order. It was a tad frustrating because an item I wanted to order had a well-worn sticker blocking it out. Placed our food and drink order. Several minutes later, someone different came from the back and said one of the two items was also not available. So another item was chosen. Drinks were not delivered (tea and a water) until the food came 20 minutes later. And the water was a tiny 8-ounce bottle of water. 1.5 hours and we were the only diners. That says something. Food - Of what we could order, the chicken tikka was good but not amazing. 4 stars. The lamb kabob was amazingly bland and tough. So disappointing as I typically love lamb. 2 stars. The hummus was thin and tasted too sour with no flavor dimension to it. Was it old? Better hummus has a slight nutty flavor to it and this needed more garlic. 3 stars. Rice actually had decent flavor. 4 stars. We had both the pistachio and walnut baklava. As a baklava connoisseur, the walnut was far better flavor and texture but both seemed dry and old. Bread was okay. When I look at the number or reviews from those in CA or OR with less than 5 reviews on their account (all giving 5 stars) - it seems clear that people want free baklava or hot tea, as they advertise at the table when you sit down. But they need to read your review first before getting the token item. I have better ethics and higher standards than that. Maybe the restaurant section is on the slide. For a $20 entree, not worth it. There is better in Boise.

Sofia's used to be in our regular list of go-to spots for take out, but unfortunately it's suffered…read morein the past year or so from a rise in prices and decline in consistency. Tonight our basket of fries, $6, was woefully under cooked and under seasoned. The two rice bowls, lamb ($23.99) and gyro ($16 or $17.99), were just bad. The rice was at least two days old and pasty, and had no lemon flavor. It shrunk away from the walls of the container as though it were dessicated. The gyro meat was in small shreds, as though the cook were trying to make the meat go further and the amount of gyro and lamb meat was at least 1/3 of what it used to be. Tomatoes used to be cut in wedges were now inconsistent, thin slices. And the onions weren't sliced anymore but diced small and dropped in a small patch of the tray. The BFG had a "weird flavor" as though something was old, but the pita was very good--and for the increased price, should have been better. As one who has been to Greece twice, I did used to enjoy a "taste of Athens" regularly, but the consistency issues are too much for a to-go order topping $77 with tip.

I ordered almost everything on the menu because I wanted to get a real feel for what they had to offer, and honestly, there wasn't a single disappointment. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. My favorite was the Beef Stroganoff with the noodles substituted for rice to make it gluten-free. It was absolutely delicious. If you're getting a salad, the mushroom salad is a must. It's packed with flavor and one of the most memorable salads I've had in a long time. The service was outstanding. The staff took the time to chat with my kids, made them feel welcome, and genuinely seemed happy we were there. That level of hospitality makes a huge difference. The ambiance is cozy and relaxed. It's a smaller restaurant, but the white walls and chairs give it a clean, modern feel that makes it feel more upscale than your average neighborhood spot. This was 100% worth the drive. If you're anywhere nearby, or even a few hours away like I was, I'd absolutely recommend giving this place a try. I'll definitely be back.

Malay grilled fish- honestly it was not a big portion but still reasonable for the price and the flavor and texture was phenomenal. I would get this to accompany any meal as a little extra protein!
