Sophina's Cafe

This was my first experience with Somali food and people. Sophina and her family provided an exceptionally enjoyable dining experience for newcomers.

They offered complimentary food and drinks, checked in on us at the table, and always had warm smiles at the ready.

One plate feeds two, and the quality of the meat and produce was amazing! Thank you!

Amazing food full of flavor and very kind people.
Loved every minute of it.

Love this place. Very good food and service.

Stumbled upon this place while thrifting next door. Open for dine-in and takeout. Appears to be a small family business, and the service is really hospitable.

While waiting for our food they offered us free tea, and even gave us an additional drink just because we were two people (we only ordered one combo).

At first glance the prices for a combo appear expensive at $13 but it’s a large portion of food, a full container of meat and rice. More than enough for one person - and in fact, enough to comfortably feed our family of 3.

Note that they may not have all menu items at all times - when we went they only had one appetizer item.

Overall a great deal with a massive portion for the price and kind folks working there, will be back!

The food was delicious and the serves was AMAZING!!
Highly recommend to all my friends and family!

We happened in on a lark, after having seen the excellent Google Reviews. The reviews did not lie. THIS PLACE IS AWESOME! The service was friendly and good 😊. The food was hot, tasty, very authentic and just plain wonderful 👏❤🇸🇴. The space was clean 🧹. The prices were fair 💲 Sophina's is on our list of places to eat now ✅. Thank you for such a yummy dining experience. 👍

Never had this type of food before but it was fantastic, very friendly staff as well!

I have been to this restaurant a few times. I have had the chicken wings, goat, salmon, lentil/chicken soup and jasmine rice. All things were absolutely delicious!! I have taken out and returned to eat in. The tables and utensils were clean. The servers were so kind and hospitable it was like visiting a place with good friends with a sincere sense of community.
The opportunities for upgrade was the decor and appearance could use some tidying up and a little makeover.

The food here is so well seasoned and cooked well, I definitely plan to return here often!

The environment was very smooth and calm from the time that we walked in and Finally sit down. We were greeted immediately By a young man Who quickly walked us through the menu and gave us samples of the dishes that we were unfamiliar with. I ended up choosing goat w\ White rice and lentil soup which comes free if you eat in. To say that This was a positive experience would be an understatement. Great tasting food along with great customer service and a good environment makes a good experience when you're eating. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who is a newcomer to untraditional American food. Meaning not American food And would highly recommend the goat with white rice or the lamb.

The guy was super nice and friendly it was my first time trying this place although I’ve lived so close! Definitely going back, I’m Mexican and was looking for Mexican food but found this gem instead.

All the worker there are nice , The food is delicious and mouth watering ,I recommend the mango smoothie and the Chicken sandwich , The service is a 10/10, I recommend you go there !!!!

Food was good with good portion size. Inside is really clean and welcoming. The folks here were super friendly and came to check on us to see if we needed anything. Will be returning for sure.
