Sofia's is absolutely among those quality restaurants that should be considered the pride and lifeblood of Hasbrouck Heights. Easily one of the nicest and most family oriented Greek spots I've been to in recent memory. I strongly encourage anyone in the area to give it a shot and bring a group to dine in. The only negative I'd say is that the price can be a little over the top for some of the meal items, however, given the ambiance, the service, the quality and the experiences I've had there, it's a fair price. Bravo

Greek cuisine has absorbed influences from various empires and cultures. It is so good because of…read morethe use of fresh, high-quality ingredients like ripe tomatoes, herbs, and creamy feta cheese. From cooking to salad dressings, Greek olive oil made from lemon, basil, and oregano is their liquid gold. Located on a busy Boulevard in the heart of Hasbrouck Heights, I finally got the opportunity to stop in at this BYOB family-owned/operated establishment. Upon entering for lunch after 4 years, Sofia's Mediterranean Grill, named after the owner's mom, I was greeted by the staff. I got a booth, immediately knowing how they get crowded. The inside evoked a cozy and warm vibe with Greek music playing throughout. Outdoor dining is available, weather permitting. Their menu features an array of traditional Mediterranean dishes, offering a variety of soups, appetizers, salads, sandwiches, meats from the grill, seafood cooked various ways, and entrees cooked from the oven. I decided on the Greek salad with grilled chicken. The food was authentic, fresh using the finest ingredients, delicious, and prepared simply, which is exactly what I was looking for. The portion was healthy. The service is always friendly and welcoming. I got to connect with the owner, Nick, a fellow Astorian, to catch up about the old neighborhood. The price was reasonable. If one's craving the vibrant flavors of the Mediterranean, then look no further. One doesn't need to book a flight to Greece to enjoy authentic meals.

My group ordered several appetizers, including the hummus sampler and the octopus. For the main dishes, everyone ordered either the skirt steak, branzino, or the chicken skewers. Everything was delicious. No complaints about the food at all. The only comment is that we were a table of seven with early reservations since we had a baby with us. Even though we were one of the first and only tables when we arrived, the service was a bit slow and we had to get the waiter's attention a few times. This was not enough to lose any stars. The waiter was very nice and attentive once he came by.

There was loud music when we entered, but it shortly was turned down/ off. Our server was quick to greet us and we placed our order. They give you bread and oil and we ordered the Mediterranean tour which contained hummus, eggplant and muhammara, which is made of red peppers. The place is BYOB, but the way. My friend got the chicken kebab and I got the Adana kebab, which is a mixture of lamb and beef. Our food was delicious and came out hot and the presentation was also beautiful! Throughout the night, the music would get super loud and I was unable to chat with my girlfriend right across the table from me. This happened various times through out the night, which was odd, but I was just happy it was not consistent. Otherwise, socializing would have been impossible. Our server also disappeared after a while, so I had to go up to the hostess to ask for our check when we were ready to go. Aside from that and the loud music, we enjoyed our dinner, overall!
