Sophina's Cafe — Restaurant in Clinton Township

This is such an unexpected lucky find. At first I just walked past this small and somewhat unassuming, storefront. When just as I had almost past the door, I looked down and my eye caught Sophina's colorful menu. Printed in full color delicious plates of foreign (to me) cuisine tempted my tummy. Sophina's menu was tantalizing. From fish to beef and chicken in between, it all looked good. Peeking at the time on my phone and the hours posted on the door I saw that it was after closing. I was disappointed to say the least. I catch a glimpse of 4 men inside and wonder if maybe I had been wrong. I eagerly opened the door and asked the man behind the counter if they were open. He kindly responded with a Yes. That's all I needed to hear. With a huge smile on my face I walked in and headed to the counter. I had already promised myself that "next time" when they were open, I would get the Beef Sandwich. So without hesitation I tell the young man that I would like to have the beef sandwich to go please. It was a hot day and I had a frozen beverage (from Clown Cone) in my hand. He did not ask if I needed an drink and he didn't give me a hard time about having outside beverages either. He did offer me fries with my sandwich , but I declined. But had I tasted the Beef Sandwich before he offered I would have changed my answer to yes. Sophina's beef sandwich was AMAZING!!! Think a Philly Cheese Steak made with love and extra beef. That's what I was served. The wait time was short, the food was hot and I was incredibly satisfied. I am looking forward to trying out the other menu options. I greatly recommend this small restaurant in North linden. I was quite...

I’ve never had Somali food before, but we were in the area last night and it was around dinner time. The host was very kind and explained some of the main dishes to us.

My partner and I shared kay kay, a dish with wide flat pasta noodles (similar to shorter pieces of lasagna) and meat - we chose chicken. It also came with a small green salad on the side. The flavors were delicious, I loved the spices. It was just a tiny bit spicy, not too much - and I usually can’t handle much spice. We also ordered meat sambusas, which are like a crispy meat Pattie in fried dough. It was similar to a samosa in Indian food.

Our child got French fries and a mango smoothie, which he drank right up. It looked like there was whipped cream on top.

The atmosphere is simple, with exposed pipes and overhead lighting. There are art and mirrors on the walls, bringing additional light and color to the space.

Lots of people were coming in and out for takeaway orders.

Thank you Sophinas for a welcoming and delicious experience! We...
