A gem of Mediterranean cuisine in rural New Hampshire! We came for lunch & shared the Meze Platter with bread for a starter, and each of us had a different kebab for our main course. The hummus, babaganoush, and Mediterranean salsa all tasted bright and fresh, with the flavors of the individual ingredients standing out. The bread was a ginormous pitta fresh made & hot from the oven! We enjoyed our kebabs followed by Turkish coffee, and would have had Baklava but it was sold out. Def worth a detour to try.

It doesn’t correspond to what is written on the card; they simply don’t have a lot of dishes and it’s impossible to call this place Turkish!

The food was fantastic- authentic, fresh, delicious Turkish food. We were extremely pleased. We enjoyed the owner Jack’s attentive service and conversation, he is warm & friendly. We will absolutely go back to this gem of a restaurant.

We went for lunch and the food and service were both amazing. We ordered several different apps because we had a larger party and everything the brought out was unbelievable. Cannot say enough good things, you just have to try it!

Ayasofia is some of the best Turkish food I have had in this area. Highly recommend the Lavash bread and Meze platter with beef kebab!

The food was tasteless. Nothing like Turkish proper food. The tables were not cleaned after each customer. What they claim is falafel is worse falafel in New England. They charge for bread and the appetizer portion is a joke for the price. Also, it is expensive for a food with no taste.

Best falafel I’ve ever had! Warm vibrant atmosphere, had the gingerbread man martini off of the specialty drink menu and it was sooo good! Family owned, great people and right off of route 111. Ask about the grilled chicken wings they are to die for!

This place has been on my list since it opened but the experience unfortunately was average. The ambiance is casual. The service was 5/5, the owner is such a wonderful person and goes above and beyond to make sure the diners are being take care of. I just wish the food was as good. The rice pilaf was literally boiled white rice, no flavor to it. The salad was bland, the meat was too gamey for my taste. The falafel was good though and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Their fresh bread was a lovely touch and nice to have to eat the dips with. But personally I like more soft thick breads, this was too thin and crispy for my liking. Maybe a good place if you want to have a few drinks with a few appetizers but wont go there if I want a meal.
