" Dinner at Aya Sofia was quite a good palette of experiences. Our server was helpful in highlighting some menu favorites. We tried the lamb shank which was deliciously tender, combined with a side of house-made garlic yogurt that added a great flavor. The ambiance of the restaurant was warm and welcoming, intended for those seeking a nice dining affair. Although it was busy, the service was still good and the meals came reasonably fast. I'd say it’s worth visiting. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a fantastic dining experience! I took my family to Aya Sofia for dinner, and we enjoyed every moment. The ambiance was so inviting, we felt really comfortable.

Overall, that evening felt special, and I will recommend this place to anyone who loves aromatic, well-prepared Turkish dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" We celebrated a special occasion at Aya Sofia and it didn't disappoint. The atmosphere was romantic and cozy, making it perfect for a date. The food was simply delightful, especially the beef shish kebab; it had a wonderful marinade that made each bite enjoyable. My partner had the seafood, which was perfectly cooked and presented. Service was attentive but not intrusive, which added to our enjoyment. We'll definitely return for another special night! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was hesitant to try Aya Sofia after seeing mixed reviews, but my experience was positive overall. The environment was charming, with cozy seating and a lovely outdoor area. Our server was friendly, albeit a bit slow. I ordered the Iskender and found it flavorful, though the beef could have been more tender. My friend’s kebabs were spot on. The portion sizes were generous, making the meal a satisfying experience. I'll give it another shot soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Just wow! The food at Aya Sofia was out of this world. I tried the Adana kebab, and the spices were flavorful and authentic. The waiter provided excellent service, always attentive without being annoyingly present. I was pleasantly surprised to see a wide variety of Turkish wines too. The ambiance created a warm, welcoming vibe, perfect for dinner with friends. I left with a full belly and a smile, looking forward to my next visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" I'd heard many good things about Aya Sofia, and I finally visited. The decor was chic and sophisticated yet laid-back, striking a nice balance. The food was delightful; particularly the falafel which I found exceptionally crispy. They offered a nice variety of vegetarian options. While the service was friendly, there seemed to be times when our server was hard to find. Despite this, I appreciated the attention given to the food and ambiance. A good experience overall! " (*Curated Review*)

" The dining experience at Aya Sofia was mixed for me. I had heard about their authentic offerings, and the initial impressions were good. The hummus was creamy, one of the best I’ve had. However, my main dish, which was the grilled chicken, was overcooked. The service was friendly but felt a bit scattered as multiple servers helped us throughout the night. I believe there’s room for improvement, but I’d like to try different dishes in the future. " (*Curated Review*)
