Julia Restaurant — Restaurant in Sofia City

The food has many Syrian 🇸🇾 dishes but besides parsley it lacks is herbs and spice in the salads and this is probably adjusted to Bulgarian tastes.

The aubergine meat fatteh is delicious but as I anticipated a lack of spices (this is usually the case in Eastern Europe) I came prepared with my own spices (I carry them around) which greatly enhanced my personal experience.

I added fresh sumac and organic hot 🔥chilli to the fatteh and it was yummy.

Next time I will also carry some dry mint as I am used to have it on fatteh and there was none.

The hummus is excellent (it resembles Lebanese 🇱🇧 hummus because it has a creamy texture that is usually achieved by adding some curd from sheep milk) but instead of the non-virgin olive oil I would prefer had it included a few good quality black olives.

The taboule is fresh but it lacked black pepper which is why I ate a little and took the rest home. It also lacks two key ingredients - bulgur and onion so it technically is not a taboule, it is a parsley and tomato salad.

I would give an 8 out of 10 stars for the food but as the service is superb and the venue very clean and pleasant I give it 5 stars in hope it...

It's a quaint restaurant in a nice area of town. The atmosphere reflects this, the staff are all very nice and attentive. The food was all well prepared and tasted great! However, a few things which should be noted before you go there - a lot of the food items contain quite a bit of yogurt and the music tends to be a bit too loud. Now, that isn't necessary a bad thing, just something to expect before deciding to go. I say this because some of the people with me were a bit disappointed by this, but if you are aware of it you should be fine. Overall a nice little restaurant if you enjoy Arabic culture...

It was a take away order. We are close neighborhood and we still had to wait more than an hour for portion of doner kebap(Meat from these ready-made frozen skewers we believe) it came with humus. And the other order was their appetizers (humus, something from eggplant.... They were OK) Stomach problems appeared after that... I am willing to change the review maby it's better in the restaurant.... By gathering the courage to try...
