Sofia's Mediterranean Grill

My favorite restaurant would definitely be Sofia's Mediterranean Grill in Hasbrouck Heights. My family often goes there for birthdays and other special occasions. It is owned by a family that has been in the restaurant business for over 20 years. In other words, they know their stuff, which can easily be proven by the deliciousness of all their dishes. They specialize in 'contemporary Greek dishes'. If you'd like to learn more about the history of Sofia's Mediterranean Grill, visit their About Us page.

The interior of the restaurant is spacious and comfortable ,as can be seen in picture at the right. In the spring and summer outdoor

seating is also available. The restaurant offers many meat and seafood dishes, and a wide variety of appetizers. My favorite main course would probably be the falafel in pita . One of my favorite appetizers are the dolmades, which are stuffed grape leaves. Here is a recipe for homemade dolmades. If you'd like to learn more about Greek dishes, watch the video above. 

Falafel in Pita. Yum!

For me, the real make or break quality of any restaurant is how good their desserts are. My family orders dessert every time we go to Sofia's for dinner, and we are never disappointed. The baklava cheesecake is my favorite dessert there. Baklava is a phyllo and nut pastry with cinnamon, and is popular in Greece and other countries near it. It is the perfect end to a meal from a great restaurant like Sofia's.  

My favorite dessert: Baklava Cheesecake!

It would be very unfortunate if for whatever reason Sofia's closed down. If my family could not go to Sofia's Mediterranean Grill, we would probably go to Chok Dee Thai in Wood-Ridge. We have only been there once, but it was very good. Our entrees were curries; our appetizer was the a papaya salad, and it was quite good. Even with Sofia's still open, I will probably go to Chok Dee Thai again sometime in the future.
