“ Really good food, lots of flavor. The chicken was so good, loved the cabbage salad, fries and bread were good. Service was very nice, simple dine in place. Can't wait to come back & try more food. For all the food they give you, it was a great price. ”

“ Sofia Grill is a small hidden gem in the burbs. The food is delicious, made to order, and simply flavored. It also makes the best chicken thighs (flattened & grilled!) I've ever eaten. Alexander greets you with a charming smile, and the small kitchen does their magic. Shopska salad is a fresh favorite, so are the hearty delicious soups they have on special rotations. Don't miss the crusty fresh baked loaf of bread! The condiment tray has the best imported season salt to shake on your foods, and a variety of oil and vinegars to customize your salads or veggies. Portions are generous. They do a lot of carryouts, and also cater events. Who knew Bulgarian food was so delicious?! It's one of our faves, and I try to visit frequently and you should, too! ”

“ The food was amazing and fresh awesome. It is a traditional family business with a focus on getting you a really great meal at a reasonable price. The sausage is hand made and amazing. The pork chops out of this world and the potato dish to die for. Wonderful experience. ”

“ Great great food. Highly recommend this place. The pork chops are incredible and super big ”

“ I ordered the side of potato salad with chicken thighs. It was fillet instead of bone in, which made me unhappy. The chicken thigh was seasoned and had grill marks to give it a visually appealing appearance. Every bite of the thigh was tasty, and the quantity size was appropriate. The potato salad is distinct; it tastes strongly of dill and has a smooth, mashed potato-like texture. The biscuit cake, which included layers of vanilla custard, biscuit/cookie, and crushed nuts on top, was phenomenal. I like how smooth and creamy the custard was, and I'm glad it wasn't overly sugary. ”

“ Best Bulgarian food in the Chicagoland area tbh. Relaxed atmosphere and good service. ”

“ Menu is small but food was great! Fresh ingredients and friendly service too! Place your order at the counter. Open seating. Ventilation could be better due to the grilling. Definitely worth trying! ”

“ Authentic Bulgarian food! Meat is super fresh, perfectly seasoned. Casual Eastern European comfort food. Save room for homemade dessert, Absolutely delicious. Super family friendly. ”

“ I'd never actually had Bulgarian food before so this was a new experience for me. Let me tell you, I couldn't believe how good it was. I've had a few things from here but the top 2 without a doubt are the Shopska salad and the Beef patty. The salad is light and refreshing and the beef patty is full of punch! What seasoning they use for it I have no idea - but it's outstanding! The portions are decent, and I've never eaten inside, only had take out so far, but I'll be coming back for more. ”

“ As a typical ignorant American, I had never had any Bulgarian Cuisine prior to visiting Sofia Grill. With no idea what to expect, to say I was pleasantly surprised is an understatement! The food was phenomenally seasoned and grilled to perfection. With a large variety of meats, salads and soups, Sofia Grill has options for everyone to get a glimpse into the Bulgarian culture. A quaint environment with a view right to where the magic happens is a great atmosphere to enjoy your Bulgarian feast. And there is even a snack station for the kiddos to try some authentic Bulgarian sweets, candy, and chocolate. Since it was my introduction to the cuisine, I tried to order as much as I possibly could; we tried the Kebapcheta sausages, the Pork Chop, the Sofia Salad, the Roasted Pepper Salad, but the one that deserves first prize was the Tatar Meatball! This large patty-like meatball was dutifully flavored and served piping hot with a delicious mozzarella suprise inside. I just couldn't save some of it for later and ate the whole thing! And to complete this grand feast was the decadent HOMEMADE Biscuit Cake. Creamy marscapone layered between sweet biscuits, topped with walnuts and drizzled with caramel. This delicious dessert hit the spot and was gone within seconds!! Unfortunately I was too enamored with the food to even stop and take pictures before I wolfed it all down... Whether you are a Des Plaines local, an out-of-town tourist, or a food aficionado, you MUST stop at Sofia Grill for a window into the flavorful spices and delicious desserts of Bulgaria! ”
