Sophias Restaurant in Köln

Great food, something for everyone. Great service Always my pleasure

First of all, on the good side - the food was, on the whole, delicious and served quickly. The service is forthcoming and polite. But now why only three stars are given here. 1.) For Greek standards, there are almost no salads on the menu - no large coleslaw, no mixed salad, no leaf salads - only small side dishes. 2.) With all my love - the prices for the portion sizes are almost unreasonable, not only here but generally in the restaurants that offer "mezedes" or "tapas". I can no longer hear people arguing about price increases here. The portion size of the beetroot can't even be considered a child's portion (if at all a tuber) and that's why this price... sorry. 3.) A restaurant that sees itself as "high quality" has more than just a bottle of Ouro or a Retsina on offer. I could list other points here that bothered me overall - hence only 3 stars

A nice evening for two or in a group is very possible. Great service, very attentive. The dishes are very attractively presented and superbly prepared. We would love to come back and enjoyed the evening.

Very good Greek restaurant. Very tasty, great quality!

Haven't been there for a while. But once again it was very tasty and the staff was attentive and friendly.

Very tasty mezedes. Slightly higher prices, but also special and high-quality food. The staff is friendly, but depending on how busy it is it can be a bit noisy.

You can do it, everything is really delicious 👌🏼

Just “dined” here; Rabbit, baked potatoes and sautéed mussels - The best thing first: Rabbit was ok. The baked potatoes were overly salted, had indefinable, glassy and brown spots, were practically boiled and were floating in an indefinable liquid; The mussels are simply boring with carelessly chopped tomatoes and onions When the service staff asked whether it didn't taste good, the argumentative negative response was not professional. Conclusion: sheep (for money)

The prices are a disgrace. I got it to take away otherwise I would have complained on the spot. Example: 3 (tiny) stuffed grape leaves for €6.9. This borders on usury.

Nice cozy restaurant with great service and great food. We were there on Sunday around 5:00 p.m. and were lucky to get a table. It is advisable to reserve. We'd love to come back👍

A really very cozy restaurant that makes you feel good... the large selection of dishes and, above all, the smaller portions make the whole thing a lovely experience. Also worth mentioning is the perfect service from the extremely friendly staff… Top! 😀

Just great! There were 8 of us there, most of us didn't know the restaurant and everyone was enthusiastic. We'll be back! But tip: reserve! Because it's so good, it's always very well booked!

A little more expensive, but absolutely delicious! The concept is reminiscent of tapas, which means the bill may end up being a little higher. However, given the excellent quality, the price is more than justified. It's just a bit loud and cramped - you have to live with that.

We were in the lounge a few meters away from the main house and enjoyed the quiet atmosphere there. We were served very friendly and courteously, that alone is very healthy and exciting! The food is top class! Vegetarian tapas are just as excellent as the fish and meat dishes. The wine recommendation was spot on. In short, one of the best restaurants in Cologne, regardless of cuisine. We'll definitely be back!!

It was just super delicious 😋☺️

Greek tapas - everything was good! We often go to Unkelbach before evenings because it is so close.

A great meal. Highly recommended.

I like to eat at Sophia's Restaurant, at least 1 - 2 times per month. Good food, good service ..-) The only real shame is that you (NEVER)... what you get on the house i.e. No matter whether it’s an ouzo or espresso‼️ I always leave things in between €80 – €120 on site. Don't forget the tip. Kind regards

Nice restaurant on Luxemburger Straße with an appealing ambience and very friendly service

Too narrow and too crowded. But incredibly delicious food and very attentive service!

Great authentic Greek cuisine away from gyro plates, fast service, stylish, cozy atmosphere

Very tasty food with great service. The portions are very large and unbeatable for the price.

We were there for the first time and were thrilled: the food: excellent. The service: very attentive! And even though all the tables were occupied, everything went perfectly. The evening was over far too quickly. But we'll be back soon!

The Greek restaurant Sophias impresses with its good price-performance ratio and is an absolute highlight in Cologne! The food was excellent - every dish was a pleasure for the senses and delighted me with authentic flavors. The rooms are beautifully designed and create an inviting and cozy atmosphere that invites you to linger. The service was perfect! attentive, friendly and professional. There's really nothing to improve. I will definitely come back and recommend Sophias Restaurant to anyone who loves Greek cuisine!

We ate there for the first time yesterday with a larger group... and what can I say, everything was very, very tasty. Nice and smart staff. Highly recommended.

The food was tasty and well presented. The choice of vegetarian dishes was large.

Delicious food. Somewhat crowded otherwise cozy atmosphere

Everything was perfect - delicious food and the service did a good job

The food was incredibly tasty and authentic. It was super flavorful and totally reminded me of Greece. We will definitely come back. Unfortunately the store is very narrow. It seems very cluttered and is partly getting old. That ruins the ambience a bit. I also found the service to be mediocre and not particularly friendly.

We have been here for a long time and were not disappointed The food was super tasty The service 👍 We will definitely come back

Luckily we got a table at short notice. I don't even know where to start? The very, very tasty food, the friendly, attentive service or the cozy restaurant? We weren't here for the last time.

Very nicely decorated restaurant. The dishes are great. This is how I imagine Greek cuisine, away from the usual gyros stalls. With a smaller group we had a lot of mezedes, all of which were excellent. The prices are reasonable and absolutely reasonable. The staff is great.

Very good Greek food. The prices are totally reasonable for this high quality. We loved the restaurant. Rarely have such high quality Greek food been eaten at such a good price and the owner is so sweet. We would love to come back when we are in Cologne and would be happy to recommend!!!

The last day of the year on the terrace, cramped but cozy. The team is very attentive and friendly, from the heart and not fake. A short wait and then everything happened in quick succession and the table was filled with very tasty delicacies. The restaurant was really full and all the employees had everything under control very confidently. We've been meaning to eat here for ages and are really happy to have finally done it, all in all a lovely, delicious evening. Thank you very much

It's always nice and the food tastes delicious and authentic. I'm already looking forward to the next time 😊

Delicious food, nice service, we felt very comfortable 👌 θα επιστρέψουμε 😃

Food tasty, but slightly too expensive

Just WOW. The food was very, very tasty. 1 to 1 like on holiday in Greece. The staff super friendly. I'd love to come back.

Simply delicious, I can only recommend it

In short: The best Greek restaurant in the south of Cologne and our long-time favorite, possibly in all of Cologne, I just can't estimate that... ;-)

Sociable restaurant and very good food! The Greek salad and the moussaka are my two favorites!

Wir haben das Restaurant anfangs ausgewählt, weil es für uns eine etwa gleich lange Anfahrt erfordert. Die Leistung hat uns überrascht. Die Speisekarte ist umfangreich und vielversprechend. Die bestellten Gerichte waren so gut zubereitet und preiswert, dass wir inzwischen schon fast regelmäßige Gäste sind. Wir sind nicht nur zufrieden sondern begeistert. Das Ambiente sagt uns sehr zu, und das Personal ist aufmerksam, höflich und sachkundig. Eine richtige Besonderheit in dem kleinen Ort Jerrishoe!

Highly Recommended! Everything is really right here: great food, everything tastes amazing and, above all, we were impressed by the service. She loves her job and it shows. We felt welcome and cared for. We'll come back on our next visit to Cologne, we promise! 😄

Searched for years and finally found. For me this is a Greek restaurant - that's how I experienced Greece! Everyone orders 2-3 dishes and everything comes to the table for everyone! All dishes are super delicious! Friendly service! Unfortunately there was too much going on that evening and we waited almost 1.5 hours for the second round, but it was worth it! Thanks!

Great meal and would love to come back!!!!

Großartiges Mittagessen am späten Sonntagnachmittag,super lecker,gut gewürzt,alles frisch,leckeren Wein, sehr nette Bedienung und super Preis-Leistungsverhältnis…besser geht nicht!

Original Greek hospitality in a stylish ambience. Delicious dishes with a good price-performance ratio. A recommendation for an evening with friends.

A very nice restaurant, with good food and friendly staff. Always my pleasure!

The funniest restaurant visit in a long time! The shop was almost empty, but it still took a good 2 minutes until we were finally allowed to sit down, okay. The first waitress was very courteous and attentive. Our little one even got something to paint! Very sweet ❤️ When we finally wanted to order after half an eternity, we were initially ignored until someone pointed out that we should write our order on a piece of paper. All right, let's go! No sooner said than done, the second waitress grabbed the note and cards. When we asked for a portion of mayo with the fries (which were on the menu under a strange name), the lady hissed at us in an unfriendly tone, she had to ask first if they had any! What is it called so beautiful? The sound makes the music, and this music was definitely not good - so we paid for the drinks and left the restaurant. In the restaurant across the street we were served hospitably and promptly! Still a fun experience at Sophias

Great service, very, very tasty food. I had the moussaka, goat cheese with honey and sesame and other small starters. The portions are just right. Recommended!

Very cramped tables. Food tasty but very little.

Everything was right! Come again !!!!

Great restaurant. I was very positively surprised by the large selection of vegetarian dishes and non-alcoholic drinks. The food itself was very tasty and varied.

For us it is a real insider tip. The mezedes are delicious, the service is very friendly and accommodating. We felt very comfortable there with five people and will definitely come back again. Many thanks to the great team!

Großartig - neuer Favorit Es ist in Köln nicht leicht, ein anständiges griechisches Restaurant zu finden. Dieses ist ein Glücksgriff. Es war jedes einzelne Gericht, dass wir bestellt haben, einfach nur köstlich. Alles sehr schmackhaft und definitiv nicht ölig, wie man es sonst gerne schon einmal serviert bekommt. Der Service war ausgesprochen freundlich und wir haben uns rundherum wohl gefühlt. Von unserer Seite eine absolute Empfehlung. Vielen Dank an das tolle Team!

Always very satisfied from the food to the service, everything was great. One of my absolute favorite restaurants in Cologne.

Greek mezedes are something special - the small portions allow you to explore the diversity of the cuisine

The food was extremely carelessly prepared and presented. It was very salty and carelessly placed on a few lettuce leaves with balsamic vinegar on top. The portions are small and expensive for the poor quality. The ambience is boring and cheap. Complaining that the food is too salty will not be responded to well or apologized for. So, NEVER AGAIN!!! Not recommendable. You eat better in every kiosk…

wunderbarer Abend! Das Lokal ist sehr hübsch, das Personal sehr nett. Wir haben zu viert 15 Gerichte gegessen. - alles war abwechslungsreich und sehr lecker. Einzige Ausnahme waren die Muscheln, essbar, aber viel mehr auch nicht. Aber alles andere: köstlich! Sehr schön, sich durchprobieren zu können, das mag ich besonders gerne. Danke für den leckeren Abend!

The food is good, the service too, but it felt like it was at its limit, it was incredibly loud and smelled very much of smoke...

Easter Monday in Sophias. For the first time. The friendly service staff then gave us an introduction to the concept and the process. Small dishes like tapas, only larger and Greek. The pad for writing down the dishes (numbers) is unusual, but quite useful. Food came promptly and one after the other. My selection was very tasty. The bill was brought to the table and we had to figure it out ourselves. We will definitely come back to Sophiad again. Tasty, good value for money, atmosphere a bit sober.

It was very loud and it was difficult to have a conversation. I didn't like the fact that we had to write our food ourselves on a piece of paper and not, as I know it, have the waiter take the order. Food was ok. Nobody came to our table in between and asked if we would like anything else. We always had to call the waiter if we wanted something else. When we wanted to pay, we all had to go to the cash register and not, as I know it, the waiter comes to our table and collects the money. I don't think I'll go there again.

Highly recommended. Very tasty food. We were there with a small group and everyone was happy. Good advice .

Went there yesterday with the family, really tasty food and, above all, really great service...we'll definitely be back 😃 that's why full five stars 👍😉

We have been to Sophias several times and always enjoy coming there. The service is great, the selection of dishes is large and so far we have really enjoyed everything. So a very clear recommendation for a visit there.

Delicious tapas, wine ok, attentive service

Great shop, excellent varied food, Greek beer, friendly and fit service!

Very tasty 😋 and very friendly staff,

Nach der Empfehlung vom KStA haben wir den Weg zu Sophia gesucht, das Ergebnis ist durchwachsen. Ein ausgezeichnetes Musakka und perfekte Souvlaki haben Spaß gemacht die Größe der Portionen zum Preis sind aber grenzwertig; der Rote Beete Salat mit Feta war unverschämt klein zum Preis von etwa 9 €. Leider daneben waren die Patatas frittas zu fettig und im Preis ebenfalls eine Herausforderung. Die Preise sind durchweg gehoben, die Mengen zu klein; das Konzept ist wohl auf >2 Portionen ausgelegt, wobei man dann schon deutlich über 25 € ohne Getränke kommt. Zu Hause angekommen haben wir bemerkt dass wir doch überdurchschnittlich viel Geruch gratis mitbekomnen haben. Zudem ist beim Abräumen ein Messer mit Tomatensauce ausgerutscht und hat die Bluse meiner Fau versaut, aber das hat die Bedienung nicht wiklich interessiert. Man sitzt eigentlich zu eng und es war insgesamt zu laut. Wir hatten einen schönen Abend, weil wir so tolle Freunde dabei hatten.

Nice restaurant with delicious Greek mezedes (tapas). Plus special Greek wines. The service was relaxed and friendly. Absolutely correct price.

Ate Greek again after a long break. Sophias is a hit, no matter what was served to us, EVERYTHING was very tasty and prepared to perfection. Service is the same, see you soon.

Very unusual little Greek restaurant. Great concept, tapas-like. Super nice service in a casual atmosphere and delicious food.

Important: be sure to reserve a table. Great service and attentive staff. The food, sensationally good. It wasn't the last time we were there. Pure enthusiasm.

Very tasty and fine mezedes from cold starters to warm desserts were really successful in terms of craftsmanship and taste. Decent red wine, suitable. Very attentive, hospitable service. We only found the volume to take some getting used to.

It's a little quieter outside, but inside it can be really loud. The small dishes were tasty and the service was friendly. If you're really hungry, you're really leaving money behind...

A perfect evening. Great idea, the Greek tapas. There were three of us and we had 10 dishes with dessert, all of which were very tasty. We all tried everything so we had a broad culinary experience. That definitely wasn't our last visit, but then by train.

Very tasty, we tried Mezedes for the first time on the advice of my partner. The feta in puff pastry with honey was tasty. The anchovies weren't the best I've had, but they were always a good choice. Hardly anything to complain about. Juicy and perfectly fried. The potato chips were a mixture of finely crispy chips and fries. Very interesting combination. The neighboring tables also had very good-looking food on their plates. I'm yet to find out for myself whether I'm a big fan of these tapas-style mezedes dishes, but regardless, everything was pretty good. I generally prefer even smaller portions and cheaper prices so that I can try more dishes and vary them. Basically nothing to complain about and we will visit again. The dessert was also tasty. Especially the baklava-like dessert with walnuts.

Sehr sehr lecker. Nur leider zu laut,wenn es gut besucht isz. Und das scheint es wohl zu sein. Geräusch schlucken Maßnahmen,wie Eierartons unter die Tischplatten, seien zu empfehlen.

Wir sind Stammgäste und kommen immer wieder gerne zu Sophias! Das Essen ist hervorragend und wird schnell serviert. Der Service ist kompetent, aufmerksam und zügig. Vielen Dank für viele schöne Abende!

Wir haben viel über diese Restaurant gelesen, und nun wollten wir es persönlich ausprobieren. Wur hatten Glück und bekommen vor Weihnachten noch einen Tisch zu zweit. Es war ein Traum , von der Vorspeise zum Hauptgericht bis zum Desert. Wir hatten Ofengemüse mit Tsazaziki und Pita Brot, als Hauptgericht eine Lamhaxe aus dem Ofen und Suflaki mit Krautsalat und einem gebacken Pide Brot , Der Nachtich setzte dem Abend die Krone auf leckeres Eis mit Filoteig Kuchen. Ein absoluter Traum. Das Restaurant war gut besucht ,aber das Team war top . Immer für den Gast da, daß ist leider heute sehr selten. Qur können das Restaurant nur empfehlen und wir kommen wieder. Wer geschmacklich und in guter Gesellschaft Speisen möchte ist hier genau Richtig. Das Restaurant ist sehr gemütlich und modern eingerichtet.

Großartige Speisen und Getränke, sehr freundlicher und schneller Service. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt!

Leckerer geht's nicht! Und mit gutem Preis -Leistungsverhältnis. Das Tapas Konzept ist einfach genial und macht mit mehreren Leuten besonders viel Spaß. Reservieren notwendig, wenn es voll ist ist das Geräuschniveau ziemlich hoch...

Sehr gutes Restaurant mit griechischen Spezialitäten, sehr nette Bewirtung, kommen gerne immer wieder

Nice place for Greek food and drinks

Tolle Atmosphäre, tolles Essen als würden wir in Griechenland essen,tolle Service, carantiert noch mal essen gehen 👌💙

Schon mehrfach dort gewesen: Geschmack, Qualität und Service waren immer top.

Sehr gutes Essen und freundlicher Service! Gut zu erreichen, direkt an der Linie 18 und sowohl für Kölner als auch für Touristen ein absolutes Muss wenn man die Vielfalt der griechischen Ķüche kennenlernen möchte. Mein Tipp: Verschiedene Mezedes bestellen und gemeinsam genießen - ganz egal ob zu zweit oder als Gruppe, da ist für jeden etwas dabei. Große Auswahl auch an vegetarischen Gerichten! Das Ambiente ist traditionell mit einem persönlichen Touch und die Qualität des Essens spricht einfach für sich. Achtung: keine Kartenzahlung möglich! Das muss man vorher wissen, ändert aber absolut nichts daran, dass Sophias Restaurant bereits jetzt zu meinen Favoriten der griechischen Küche gehört und ich es nur jedem empfehlen kann, der mehr als "nur" Gyros erwartet.

Wir waren mit einer Gruppe das erste Mal im Sophias. Trotzdem es sehr voll war wurden wir sehr freundlich empfangen und alles erklärt. Das Essen war vorzüglich und wir kommen sicherlich wieder.

Zum ersten Mal in diesem gemütlichen Restaurant mit meinem Mann und zwei Freundinnen. Mein Mann und ich sind aus Leverkusen und nach den kulinarischen Genüssen und dem aufmerksamen und liebenswürdigen Service können wir sagen: eine echte Empfehlung. Wir kennen einige griechischen Restaurants in Köln und Leverkusen, aber dies ist Nr. 1. An einem Sonntag Abend war es ziemlich voll; dennoch war der Service stets aufmerksam und fragte regelmäßig nach unseren Wünschen. Wir sind mehr als satt geworden und die Dessertkarte mit der Präsentation echt kreativ. Wir kommen gerne wieder ❤️

Super gut! Die Mezedes sind sehr lecker, die Weinempfehlung passt. Super Atmosphäre nettes und aufmerksames Personal. Wir hatten einen tollen Abend.

Der Grieche sehr lecker und höflich.

Das Essen war gut, die Rechnung sollte man aber kontrollieren. Bei Barzahlung sollte man aber genau darauf achten, welche Geldscheine bzw. wieviel Geld man in die Rechnung legt. Am besten erst im Beisein des Kellners die Summe für dir Rechnung abgeben. Ganz ordentliches Essen, Getränke sind teuer und beim Bezahlen aufpassen !

Wir haben nach einem authentisch, griechischen Restaurant gesucht und sind endlich fündig geworden. Das Essen war wirklich sehr gut, und nicht nur was für den Gaumen sondern auch fürs Auge. Das Lokal ist sehr schön eingerichtet und lädt zum entspannen ein. Freundlicher und aufmerksamer Service, kaum lange Wartezeiten. Die Preise finde ich jedoch heftig, unter 50 Euro pro Person hier (satt) rauszugehen wird schwer. Ob die Qualität der Lebensmittel den gehobenen Preisen gerecht wird, kann ich nicht beurteilen, ich würde es jedoch vom Wirt erwarten. Wenn dem so ist, finde ich die Preise angemessen. Einziges Manko daher: Einen Instantkaffee als koffeinfreie Espresso-Alternative zu verkaufen würde ich eher sein lassen und dann gar nicht erst anbieten.

TAPAS👍 Ausgesprochen nettes Personal. Hier kann sich so manches Restaurant eine Scheibe von abschneiden bzw. annehmen. Äußerst aufmerksam ohne bedrängt zu werden. Ein recht kleines Restaurant mit vielen Tischen. Wenn wir das Essen serviert bekommen, ist kaum noch Platz auf den für mich sehr kleinen Tischen. Dennoch empfehle ich das Restaurant sehr!!! Frühzeitige Reservierung tätigen!!!

Schönes grieschiches Restaurant ,freundlich ,guter Service aber leider gibt es hier nur Tapascerichtde,mögen wir nicht so gerne weil das meiste aufgewärmt ist !!!

Wirklich hervorragender, lockerer Service. Und dabei noch kinderfreundlich. Unsere Kleine hat sich den Chtapodi schmecken lassen und war sehr begeistert von den frittierten Kartoffeln.

Wir hatten zu 4t verschiedene Tapas... wirklich ALLES war einfach nur köstlich. Der Service und die exklusive Weinberatung war mega gut. Das Schoko Soufflé zum Abschluss noch ein richtiges Highlight. Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder. 💙

Tolles Lokal mit exzellente Gerichten.

Da wir immer nur zu besonderen Anlässen (Geburtstag oder Ähnliches) uns das Sophia's gönnen, hat es lange Zeit gedauert, bis dass wir heute erst wieder hier zum Schlemmen und Geniessen hingekommen sind. 3 Erwachsene + 2 Hunde wurden auf die Terrasse plaziert und dann verwöhnt. Die überaus nette, aufmerksame und top geschulte Gastgeberin hat uns bei der Weisswein-Auswahl hervorragend beraten. Dass der Wein, den wir zwischen 3 Kandidaten ausgewählt hatten, stolze 51 € kosten sollte, teilte sie uns mit, was ich sehr anständig und fair fand. Und er war tatsächlich ausgezeichnet. Das Essen steht ja eh über Allem. Ging schnell, hervorragend, egal ob Fisch oder Fleisch oder Dessert. Ich warte jetzt schon auf den nächsten Geburtstag, Verlobung unserer Hunde oder keine Ahnung was, damit wir wieder zu Sophia's gehen.

War eine tolle Erfahrung mal anderes Griechisches Essen zu probieren, anstatt immer dem selben Restaurant zu Fröhnen. Gute Beratung auch beim Wein.
