I will preface with Food was very good. The service was fair. They were all nice but the boy bussing the table would take away food far too quickly when we were still eating it. He wouldn’t ask and he did it several times. He was very nice, but determined to clean that table! Paying was another struggle. They do not split a check more than 2 ways. They offered to split 3 ways, but it was overly complicated. Good food, fair service, but they were nice.We had one person with a severe dairy allergy and one with gluten intolerance (not preference). They tried to accommodate but were not well informed of allergies.Dietary restrictions: Not recommended

We came for dinner, the food didn't taste good, we couldn't finish it and it was unnecessarily expensive. I don't recommend it.

We ate İskender Kebap but it was too much salted and extremely condimented. Buy the way they are very expensive because they charged 18 ? for gratuity. That’s why?Because of I did not give them tips.After than when I looking for Halal Turkish restaurant I have to will be looking carefully.

Dinner at Aya Sofia was wonderful! The setting is very cozy with tapestries and dim lighting. We started with the Hydari, which was incredibly refreshing. Our main was their mixed grill, which had a plethora of meats and veggies with some rice pilaf, our favorite was the kofte! The skewered meats were a touch overcooked, but the flavors were on point! We had house made baklava and Turkish coffee for dessert, perfect cap to a wonderful meal! The service was incredible, can't wait to come back!

What a wonderful New Year’s Eve experience! The appetizer trio was excellent, particularly the spinach and goat cheese in phyllo. The butternut squash soup was delicately flavored with a nice hint of spice. My swordfish skewers were cooked to perfection, and the accompanying rice pilaf was a revelation. But my wife swore that her lamb and chickpea pasta was even better. The baklava squares with warm honey poured over them were sent from heaven. Our server, Kim, was fantastic, and the overall hospitality and service were stellar.Vegetarian options: Any vegetarian would be thrilled by the variety of available menu options.

Had a wonderful meal at Aya Sophia. The restaurant was crowded due to the upcoming holiday, however, the service and presentation of food was amazing. The restaurant had quite a few larger parties and we were worried that we were going to run late to a concert we were attending after dinner. It was absolutely the best food, drinks, and timing! Our larger party had a wonderful time and everyone loved the food and service!

Amazing food with great flavors. I've never had a dish here I didn't like. Recommend the Meze platter to experience a range of things. Recommend the Lebanese wine, red or white. The deserts are a must.
