Sophiya's Journey Here
Sophi arrived in California with generations of Pakistani culinary tradition and the determination to share it. She learned English, taught herself the craft of running a restaurant, and opened the doors on December 17th.
December 17th, Doors Open
Sofi'z opened at 134 Broadway and Chico discovered something it didn't know it was missing. From day one, Sofi greeted every guest personally and made sure no one left a stranger.
The Food, Rooted Deep
Fragrant kebab curries, slow-cooked meats, freshly baked breads, aromatic rice — every dish is built on careful spice work that can't be rushed or faked.
640+ Reviews, 4.9 Stars
Chico News & Review, KRCR News Channel 7, and the Visit California Chico Dining Guide all covered Sofi'z in its first year. Guests piled in and left 640+ reviews averaging 4.9 stars.
Bring Someone You Love
Personal, generous, and completely real — this is the restaurant you bring someone you love. Sofi is still here, still greeting guests at the door.
