Great food, wonderful staff, lovely atmosphere. Absolutely perfect. Thank you to everyone at this amazing restaurant for making each and every visit so special.

Lunch today with 5 friends such a lovely meal for all of us all great service & staff really attentive , thank you all

Our regular restaurant, we go as a couple and as a group I have been coming here now for 3 years highly recommend. The service is perfect 👌 the food is truly wonderful, never had a bad experience here. Will continue to be a regular our family and friends love Sotiros. 5 stars is not enough.

Great place well worth a visit would highly recommend 👌

A warm welcome as always, and the food was spot on as usual, I had swordfish which was perfectly cooked, and very large. A group of very happy ladies dining for dinner.

First visit to this amazing restaurant with friends table of 6 service was fantastic food was delicious it was like been back in greek restaurants well done team

We went here for the first time and I must say what an amazing evening. We were met at the door with a smile and shown to our tables. The service was faultless. I suffer from coeliac disease, and my wife is dairy intolerant. The staff, Luca especially, was knowledgeable and extremely helpful. The majority of their menu is cooked to order, and any changes needed for our allergies were made. The atmosphere was friendly and warm. It has a real family feel. The food was absolutely amazing, with a surprisely large choice of gluten-free options. I can't recommend Sotirios enough. We will be back. I believe we have found our new favourite restaurant.

An amazing place with the friendliest of staff. Always made to feel welcome and the food is amazing.

Just had a lovely 3 course meal, food was superb and the service was perfect. Thank you for a lovely evening. 😍 we will definitely be coming back!

Another lovely meal, 5 ⭐ all round.

One of the best Greek and most authentic restaurants I've been able to visit so far - service and atmosphere very empathetic and recommendable - plus a menu that really has it (Greek) in it - great wines and an espresso martini that is wonderful - all in all, I won't come past a 5 star posting - otherwise I would be unfair to the entire team - So enjoy your meal and have a nice stay - it's worth it! My compliments 🌹

Fab little find in Folkestone, especially if you love Greek food. Staff were amazing, helpful and friendly.

We celebrated our Nans 90th birthday here today and the food and the service was first class . All the staff were so friendly and welcoming. There was no waiting for our starters or main meals or desserts they all come out together which was great service. All our food was very tasteful and my wife and myself will certainly return for a meal there .

My sister, Chris Lyle took 14 of us here for a Christmas lunch on Saturday. Its a lovely heartwarming venue with the owners and staff so friendly and accommodating dispensing their lovely food accordingly...always a pleasant experience dining here.

From start to finish the food and service was 100 percent perfect! Thank you and Merry Christmas

Had the christmas dinner today. Food was delicious and plenty of it. The staff are amazing, so polite and friendly and really made you feel welcome. Will definitely be going back. Didn't get pics as I was too hungry to take any!

Friendly family run restaurant. Great food quick service. Only 3 stars for atmosphere because near the end of our meal at a table of 7 ladies. They seated 15 people next to us on one long, put together tables. The noise they made with seating then talking meant we couldn't hear ourselves talking. Fortunately we were chucked off the tables we were on to seat another party.

My first time visiting Sotirios last night for an 80th birthday party. The best food, service and ambience I have experienced in a restaurant for a long time. Although I am not very local I will make a huge effort to visit again very soon. Thankyou for a lovely evening

Had such a lovely meal this evening. We went for the festive menu and it was absolutely outstanding. Service was amazing, food was fabulous and everything was just perfect all in all. Not my first visit and most certainly won’t be my last! Thank you guys, you’ve really outdone yourself!

What a lovely experience, staff are very attentive, the flow and atmosphere is for everyone, either going out in chilled attire or dressed up to the nines it's all accepted, food was good and always busy make sure to book or you'll be disappointed Will be back for another go after Christmas Thanks to all the staff, a credit to the restaurant 🌟 🤩 ⭐️

That’s what I call teamwork all staff working together Music a bit loud so everyone talks above it not good

Had a lovely roast there today the servers were friendly welcoming couldn't fault the place will be back

Absolutely wonderful place and staff... In every way

Lovely staff, great value set menu option at certain times too. All Food was lovely.

A great place with a warmth and friendliness which wins you over immediately. I think they could make a USP out of not having piped music. Much prefer the quiet buzz of conversations to unnecessary noise.

Amazing Sunday Roast with friends, super service and a great atmosphere! Highly recommended.

Excellent food and service. Return visit for my birthday, food excellent, service as always friendly and not rushed. Even provided a birthday cake.

Excellent meal, staff very friendly. Building is much bigger than it looks from outside. Food was very good especially the monkfish

Great service, great food. Well looked after.

Had our wedding reception at soterios, and we must say what a fantastic time we had.it couldnt have gone any better,the food,service and hospitality was fantastic.we cant thank costas,alex,luca,paige and agnes and all the lovely staff enough,for making our special day the best,also thankyou to all the chefs and kitchen staff for delicious food we recieved.all our guests had a wonderful time and are all still talking about how they had a fab time.a big thankyou guys you truely are a fantastic bunch.

We booked a table for the 3 course £19.95 lunchtime menu after reading many positive reviews and we are so glad that we did. We had Brie and tempura prawns to start followed by liver with bacon and moussaka, finishing with chocolate fondue and biscoff cheesecake. Everything that we had was cooked to perfection and beautifully presented. The wine was well chilled and reasonably priced. All the staff were efficient and friendly and the service was attentive but not intrusive, just as it should be. We are already looking forward to our next visit.

Wow! What a wonderful first experience we had! 2 adults, 3 teenagers and 1 small. Everyone enjoyed their meal. Meze was AMAZING and great value. Service was top class, friendly, knowledgeable, polite and attentive. We went for a special occasion and felt we were really treated as such. Thank you for making my 45th birthday memorable for all of us. Oh and the Cherry crush cocktail, LUSH. Only 1 photo as we were too busy having a great time.

Amazing food every time. The staff are all so friendly and welcoming they make you feel like family. Will be back soon.

Definitely a place to go, the food, the service and the atmosphere is amazing. We went as a family group for our granddaughters 18th. Everything was perfect, nothing was too much trouble for the staff and the dining was not rushed. It was all finished off with a birthday cake from Sotirios and the staff singing happy birthday. Thank you for everything you guys dud, it made the evening special, well done and we will be back soon.

Can't praise sotirios enough. . food brilliant, service brilliant, staff brilliant , and the welcome you get from Costa and the rest of the staff is second to none ... Do your self a favour and book a table... You won't be disappointed.. I promise ...

This is the best place in town! Food is amazing and the staff and owners are the best you can get! 100% our fav!

Outstanding food highly recommend sotirios for a truly great time..... perfect meal. With great customer service.

Had a great Sunday Roast dinner. Roast Lamb from a joint freshly carved at the table, Yorkshire pudding, roast potatoes, Carrots, green beans, cabbage and cauliflower cheese. Plenty of portions to spare. Followed with a rather delicious black forest gateaux roulade. Update. Just had the Waffle Stack (or and a main), amazing.

Best steak, rack of lamb and biscoff cheesecake ever!! All of the food was superb. Great service, price and such lovely staff. Absolutely loved it here and will be back, thank you - Delish!!

The best place to eat in kent! Best staff and service with a lovely greeting by Luca at the door. Couldn’t have had my daughters 18th in a better place, the staff even sung happy birthday! Such a wide variety of foods for the party (vegan and gluten free options). Cocktails to die for!! Will definitely be returning.

It was our first time eating at Sotirio's today and I have to say, the excellent reputation this restaurant has is completely justified. The food was delicious and up there with some of the best I've had but the team there is what really made it for us. From the second I stepped through the door with my wife and three children to the moment we left, we all felt completely welcome there. The service was professional but relaxed, attentive but never intrusive and everyone projected warmth and a genuine care that we were having a good experience. They have something special here.

We had a table of 9 booked last night, everyone absolutely loved it, clean plates all round, service is amazing! We was all still talking about the food later that night with everyone saying how full and nice it was! 100% were being going back. Thank you.

The best restaurant in Folkestone - the service at Sotirio's is unrivalled. Always a pleasure to be welcomed by the Sotirio's team.

Great staff, brilliant atmosphere but the food was awful. They kindly changed one dish that wasn't good but didn't push our luck with the others. My own personal meal was inedible. Raw in places and unchewable. I should say I am the o ly person I know that has had a bad meal there. Rest of my family and friends highly rate it.

We had a lovely family birthday/Father's Day meal having wanted to visit for some time. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming. The portions were tasty, well-priced and huge (three doggy bags were provided). The service was old school: friendly and personal and all the better for it. We'll be back.

Can't fault anything about this place, it's a family favourite. I have never come across more genuine and attentive staff.

Dinner for wife and kids (8/10) Food was fantastic, staff friendly and welcoming. Overall experience was 10/10 Highly recommend the swordfish and lamb

Always go out of their way to make the evening perfect. Very attentive and fabulous food!

What a fantastic evening for our family to celebrate my wife's birthday. The food was excellent, the staff were brilliant and the atmosphere was delightful. Costas and his family run this restaurant to perfection, nothing was too much trouble and the service was impeccable. It was all topped off with a birthday cake for my wife and everyone sang Happy Birthday !! A wonderful evening was had by all and I highly recommend this fantastic venue

We had a lovely evening with friends at Sotirios. I felt as if I was walking into a church with the welcome we received,we were shown to our table and one of the managers (maybe Mr Sotirios himself) came & recommended the specials which 3 of us immediately ordered.The food was superb! I thoroughly recommend this restaurant.

Booked for a Birthday treat. The atmosphere in this restaurant is amazing, it oozes ‘family’. The staff are extremely attentive, food is amazing and well priced. Costa and his staff have a special talent of making every single patron feel special. Can’t rate highly enough . If you want to be spoiled with delicious food, first class service ; this IS the place .

Our favourite place to eat ,the Sunday roasts are amazing, tender meat, lovely homemade potatoes never fail to impress. The staff are wonderful, the service and atmosphere are great and we cannot recommend Sortirios enough. Thank you guys for always looking after us like you do xx

Just fabulous! Super friendly and helpful service team. Really good food. Really good wine. Really good dining experience. Can't recommend highly enough!

Went for a friend's birthday, restaurant was full and staff were all very friendly and accommodating

Great food. Friendly welcome and very efficient service

Had a lovely birthday lunch here today, service was great food amazing and very reasonably priced for the set lunch menu. The Cherry & Coco Crush cocktail is to die for!

Another wonderful meal at Sotirios. Fantastic service, food delicious and a great time was had by all. Celebrating our wonderful friends 15th wedding anniversary 🎈❤️

Just had the most incredible meal at sotirios, outstanding food, amazing cocktails and a level of service that is not to be beaten. You are treated like royalty by the wonderful team. Best place to eat in the south east.

Staff were incredible, food was all pretty good especially because we were such a large group! Loved the ambience created by the interior design and music too

Went for a meal today was impressed with the service from the waiter very friendly and helpful, food was brilliant and a great price will definitely come back

Food was lovely, staff wonderful, kind professional and went out of there way for myself and my friend, would highly recommend, and will be going back again.

Always very friendly staff and great atmosphere. Food wonderful and good value for money.

Best place in town super food and great customer service 5 🌟

Outstanding food, friendly service best Sunday lunch I have had in a long time. The staff were faultless, definitely recommend a visit.

Excellent in every way. So happy to have discovered this place. We will be back

Second time here for Sunday lunch. Rib of beef was lovely as we're all the trimmings. All of the team are so friendly and helpful. You can tell everyone enjoys working here. Highly recommend.

Both food and service were amazing!

Can’t fault this place what so ever! Would highly recommend! Service and food are both amazing. All of the staff are friendly and attentive. 10/10 customer service and 10/10 roast dinner(Also had one GF family member which was not a problem at all multiple dessert choices and GF gravy). It was a truly wonderful mother’s day lunch and we will most certainly be back again. Pretty up there with one of the best restaurants we have been to big portion sizes and very very tasty… Also very reasonably priced and a drink on the house to finish. Thank you to the Sotirios Team.

Definitely recommend this place, very helpful and friendly staff, always there to help, food fantastic.

It is a great place to have a large table for a birthday. The staff, to lads there, very polite and accommodating.

Excellent . Large party of us so can be hard sometimes to serve food hot. This team excelled themselves. Great night. Thankyou.

Absolutely incredible. The service was fabulous, the food was heaven on a plate. The fillet steak fell apart like butter. The wine was perfect. The Stilton sauce was as if cream, butter and blue cheese made sweet love. The welcome we got was fantastic, and I cannot recommend this place enough. We can't wait to visit you again!

From the moment you step in to the moment you leave you are treated like you are one of the family. We went for the set menu which offers great choice and doesn't feel like you are going for a cheaper option. I had tempura prawn with sweet chilli sauce, with the source being notable thicker and more tasty than the stuff you get at a supermarket, wagu beef burger that was incredibly tender and packed full of flavour along side proper chunky yet crispy chips which were fantastic, desert was a raspberry rulard with fresh cream and plenty of raspberry sauce which was rich and incredibly creamy. 3 courses for £20 felt great value for money as well. First time there with my young family and we will certainly be returning. Thank you and see you soon!

I’ve literally just got home from one of the best meals and service I have ever received. Considering they had huge bookings tonight, our party of 6 were tentatively taken care of down to the finest of details, with food coming out quickly and hot. The service was the best I’ve ever had. Extremely welcoming, helped with our coats, handshakes, accommodating and super friendly. I’ve not had such service in a long time. Food was outstanding. Super tasty and great portions. Servers kept coming over asking if we needed more drinks so making sure we were all topped up nicely. We didn’t even mention prior that we were celebrating a birthday. But one of the servers asked if we were celebrating something nice to which we responded “yes a birthday”. Next thing they come out with a cake singing and clapping without us even asking or arranging. It was absolutely amazing. I would 100000% recommend. This was my first time coming and I absolutely will be coming back. For me the service really outweighed everything. I would give 10 stars if I could. Chicken Elizabeth is a MUST!!!

Absolutely outstanding customer service for a 60th birthday dinner with a table of 17. Some changes needed to be made and they made them happily. The food was delicious and very well priced. Would recommend this restaurant to anyone!

This was my second visit, and I was equally, if not more impressed, than the first time! The staff are all so helpful and attentive. Considering it was valentines day, the service was so quick, and the food was piping hot. Everything was so delicious! I would 1000% recommend to others and will definitely be coming back!

Just had an 80th birthday celebration lunch for 10 people. Absolutely brilliant! The food, the staff, the service, the whole thing was great. And even a surprise birthday cake! Our favourite place to dine in Folkestone.

This is a very special restaurant. Where do I start? This was booked along with a hotel for a Christmas present, I can see why the reviews and the rating are so high. - The food is very good, large portions and reasonable prices, just how I like it. - There are plenty of staff roaming about, they all seemed to be attentive and helpful. Two lads had a chat with me and explained that they are a family business and seemed genuinely be interested in talking. - Dimmed lighting, groups having fun, a free drink at the end and music. We had a great time and will be returning on our next visit. 5/5.

Faultless. Best place to eat in Folkestone wether you want a quick lunch or romantic dinner

Took my friend for her birthday. We had the lunch menu. Food was brilliant plus lovely service will be going back again

Fantastic service, good prices and amazing food. We enjoyed with friends the Meze, beautiful food and so much. We will be back.

Lovely atmosphere with good service and the lunchtime specials menu is definitely good value. A pleasant house red wine and the burgers are definitely worth a mention.

We had been waiting a long time to get a booking here and we weren't disappointed . Staff were very attentive and helpful. Lovely atmosphere.

My mums favourite place . The staff loved her and made her feel so special. She was 92 x Only fitting for them to host her wake . Wow they certainly did her proud and made it a day to remember x

When we talk to people about where we live and places to eat, we are proud to always mention Sotirios as one of Folkestone’s treasures. Sotirios thoroughly deserves its reputation as one of the highest rated places to eat in Kent. We have loved going to Sotirios for several years now and will continue to do so for years to come. We tend to go for special occasions such as birthdays, valentines, and romantic date nights. If you mention when booking what the occasion is, they always do something to make your visit extra special. The food is delicious - especially the main courses such as the Lamb Shank, the Vegetable Moussaka, and the Halibut. We always recommend Sotirios to people who are looking for fantastic food of a Greek, Mediterranean and British fusion cuisine. The setting itself is a perfect ambience for what we look for in a nice restaurant. It’s well lit but still dim enough to be a relaxing and warm space. Very nicely decorated and laid out, and always very clean. On top, for us, is the service. Sotirios is a family-run restaurant and you absolutely get that vibe in the best of ways from the moment you walk in. It’s co-owned by a father and two of his sons, who all work there and play various roles in combination with the rest of the team. You’re usually greeted by Lucas or Alex - sons of the founder, Costas. If you’re not, you will definitely meet them during your visit as they clearly make a point to greet and check in on everybody. Costas also joins the front of house team and waits tables which, for me, completes the family-run vibe. I am sure Costas is very proud of his team and what they have accomplished, and they fully deserve all of the praise and recognition they get.

Used to visit sotirios years ago in hythe, and this was our first visit to sotirios is folkestone. From the start the staff were amazing, Costa's 2 sons were so friendly and welcoming as were the rest of the staff..i forgot my glassss and they even had a pair of reading glasses available, now thats a restuarant thats thought of everything! We had the mezzi for 2, absolutely lovely, good value for money, we werent rushed and each and every staff member went out to make us feel special, which im so happy about as it was a special meal id arranged for my girlfriend. She was amazing, food was amazing, ambience and atmosphere were amaxing. Costa came in and instantly it was like the rock star of restaurants walked in, the don, went from table to table to shake hands, you just don't get this personal touch these days. Well be back - thats if we can get in. At 3pm in the afternoon on a saturday, customers were still flooding in, no wonder, its such a wondeful place to go.

Excellent service. Wonderful staff

I had the aubergine vegetarian dish but unfortunately found it very bland and uninspired. It was mainly filled with rice and a very few vegetables. The salad that was served with it was delicious. When I compared my meal with their other dishes in our party I really felt I hadn’t got value for my money. They other members of our table were very happy with their meals.

Great service good food Had the rack of lamb i wanted it medium rare it came out medium well still delicious Veg carrot and sugar snap cooked well A little firm just the way I like it The sautéed potatoes was not sautéed pan fryed but deep Fried even coloured And taste of the fryer a shame . Loved it will definitely be back many thank

Staff Xmas lunch. Food was excellent, staff friendly and attentive without being intrusive. Would definitely recommend.

An outstanding restraunt, family run business. The service excellent and food cooked to perfection, staff friendly and highly professional and polite. Mr Peter Graham and , I Katrina Marshall have always found this restraunt top class and keep going back every Sunday for their superb choices on the menu. We seem to always leave with a doggy bag as the staff know that Essia and Max live there Sunday roast dinners as well along with fire rib beef bones the next day. Long may you continue to be a top class restraunt in Kent. From Essia and Max a big thank you, and from the pair of us we wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New year. Xx

Been here before for our staff Xmas do. The food was great again, service was excellent, all the staff are attentive and friendly and ambience of whole restaurant is lovely.

Love this place I can't thought it , not for the food, service and great hospitality that they give.
