“Excellent food. Light and inviting areas for seating, including outside. Superb friendly and knowledgeable staff.”
- Renee Kline
“Absolutely delicious Greek food! Bear Greek food in England! Everything was incredibly fresh, and the mains were outstanding—beautifully prepared, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The service was equally impressive: warm, personable, friendly, and incredibly capable. A wonderful dining experience from start to finish. Highly recommend!”
- Tom Eddolls
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Without doubt the best restaurant in Folkestone! Sotirio’s is absolutely fantastic every single time. The food is incredible, the service is outstanding and the staff genuinely can’t do enough for you. Such a welcoming atmosphere and you’re always made to feel looked after from the moment you walk through the door. Amazing food, brilliant people and fantastic service. Our favourite restaurant by a mile. Couldn’t recommend Sotirio’s highly enough!”

“Staff amazing nothing too much trouble - dined here several times and the food is excellent”
- Eden Hardy
“Absolute gem of a restaurant! We reserved for a party of 12 to celebrate an anniversary and the restaurant delivered beyond our expectations. The service was fast and the staff members were super friendly and helpful. Good portion sizes and reasonable prices. There are only a few spaces outside so I would recommend allowing extra time for parking. The facilities were clean and tidy and the atmosphere was very warm and friendly. We ordered from the party menu - a full 3 course meal. The Mushroom Sotiriou was divine; the mushrooms were tender but flavourful and paired well with the ham/bacon and cream. For main I had the Chicken Elizabeth which was also heavenly, served with veg and potato thins. I had the coffee ice cream with a shot of Baileys which finished off the meal nicely. To help us celebrate further, we had complimentary champagne! They have a vast selection of drinks including cocktails and hot drinks. I would recommend the Greek Donkey (vodka, ginger beer & cinnamon). Overall we had a fantastic evening and will be visiting more in the future. Thank you to the team at Sotiros!!”
