They are the best at everything. I needed a pan of baklava. They allowed me to preorder and pick up the night before. I returned the pan the next day. They treated me as if I was their #1 customer. I am so grateful and thankful. I recommend eating there for lunch or dinner. You’ll never be disappointed.

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Food was absolutely amazing! I got a house club sub I believe it was and that’s the best sandwhich I’ve ever had. My husband got the carbonara pasta and of course it was amazing as well. Service was great and fast. I wish I could remember the name of our waitress she was very nice and sweet.

My experience at Sokolata was undeniably wonky. I’ve always enjoyed their tasty food via drive-thru pickup, but decided to check out the inside experience on a late August day in 2025. Upon walking in, I was confused—do I order online to dine in? Do I seat myself? The process wasn’t clear, and there were no signs or staff at the entrance to help. The staff noticed my confusion and asked if I was eating in or taking out; at this point, I was trying to take out. She kindly handed me a menu and directed me to what felt like the “expo” window, a space between the dining area and the kitchen with restaurant equipment nearby. Interestingly, the drive-through person met me at the expo window to take my order and handed me the credit card reader, which had a default tip option. I didn’t provide a tip, as I was still in the middle of my confused feeling about the process. She kindly brought my food out to me, thanked me, and I was on my way. My London broil sandwich had less meat than expected (but still enough) and was warm, but not hot—more like premade than fresh. The homemade chips were fresh-ish, starting to soften but still with a little crispness. The food and service were good, but overall, the dine-in flow is confusing and could use clearer instructions for new guests. The experience was wonky in a way that stands out.
