Sophia

Really cozy place and friendly staff. The indian cuisine really good. Worth every penny spent. p/s: look for staff onik for a good service

I am on my way back to Kuala Lumpur and made a stop at Ipoh for dinner. Went to Ann Nasi Ayam, but were closed. On my way to my destination, i passed by Sophia. The restaurant was vibrant and standout at night. I googled and saw panni puri picture, a dish i planned to try recently. When entered this shop, i am quite impressed. Almost full house. I decided to go upstair as the music were too loud at the ground floor. Ordered following menu: 1. Isthana Lamb badam masala 2. Two bowl of mandi rice 3. Fatoush salad 4. Pani puri 5. Pineapple juice 6. Barbican Soda Isthana lamb badam masala is really delicious! The rice too. I have no comment on pani puri because it was my first. But i like the food presentation. Overall, i am satisfied. The price is reasonable to me. Compared to those arabic restaurant i explored in KL, Sophia is quite unique due to variety of food. Its not limited to Arabic, they also have other non Arabic like khaomok Rice (Thai), and Indian dish. Maybe the restaurant theme is fusion. I am not sure. All in all, dishes i tried were all good. The place is nice. Toilet is clean. Prayer space is comfortable. I wish for Sophia continuous success in serving good and delicious food to people. Based on the 'opening day' photo in the review, i think they are celebrating their anniversary soon this August. All the best and keep it up, Sophia.

Good food. Great environment. Suitable for family and friends

The foods are great except the panipuri. It lacks of fillings and mint taste for the sauce. Can be improve in the future. I recommend the lamb fried rice. The lamb is soft and delicious. Good job. Will be coming back in the future. Thanks

Had the pleasure of dining at Sophia recently, and I must say, the experience was delightful from start to finish. The menu offered a variety of dishes that not only looked appetizing but delivered in taste too. Spaghetti Aglio Olio with Prawn This dish had a comforting balance of garlic and olive oil, with a pleasant kick from the chili flakes. The prawns were fresh and juicy, and the addition of black olives gave it an interesting twist. The portion was generous, and the pasta was cooked perfectly al dente. Mushroom Soup The soup was creamy, well-seasoned, and full of mushroom flavor. It had a nice homemade touch, with herbs adding depth to the taste. Served hot with a smooth texture, it was a great starter that warmed the palate. Frankie Roll Lamb with Fries A standout for its uniqueness! The lamb was tender and flavorful, wrapped in a soft flatbread and served with crispy fries. The red cabbage slaw added a fresh crunch, and the accompanying sauces complemented it well. Great for those who want something filling and different. Mandi Chicken A solid choice for those craving something hearty. The chicken was succulent and fell off the bone easily, served alongside fragrant mandi rice. The dipping sauces enhanced the dish, adding some tang and spice. It was a satisfying and well-balanced main course. Overall, Sophia delivers both in taste and presentation. A great spot whether you're in the mood for Italian, Middle Eastern, or fusion comfort food. Highly recommended!

Food was good. My 3rd time here. Atmosphere and service is also good. Service waiter Onik was very fast and friendly. Recommended for all regardless of big group, small or family.

Food here is nice but a little oily . Big portion and value for money . Restauant is clean and they provide a prayer area for those who wants to perform their prayers . Staff are ok but not very efficient. Everytime we must ask them to clear the table after our meals . And they are not very alert that our table didn’t set up nicely without cutlery . Food waiting is less than 20 minutes and place is spacious and have plenty of tables . Parking is easy during the night but not during the day . This is an air conditioner restaurant no outdoor seating
