Hadjidraganov's Houses Restaurant в София

We came pretty late to Sofia and after finding hotel we get pretty hungry. Have been recommended this place and YES I can highly recommend it. The restaurant itself is really nice. I didn’t really care about music to be honest or decoration (although both really good) but the food and service is something what I have to mention. The food (at least my one) was die for and girl who served is was absolutely amazing.

We had some issue with the food, but the staff and manager dealt with us promptly and with respect. We thought they acted very professionally, so we still give them 5 stars. Food was pretty good, and volume in each dish was good enough as well. The restaurant is very proud to say that everything is freshly cooked from raw ingredients, and we really appreciated not only the taste but the authenticity and originality. The atmosphere was superb - great traditional-sounding music, nice ambience from the traditional-looking interior design, with various ‘levels’ of tables/seating so you don’t always see eye-to-eye with everyone even if the rooms are filled with people. Staff were quick with their work yet remained respectful. We made reservations online, paid by credit card afterwards.

Our visit to Hadjidraganov’s Houses Restaurant (Хаджидрагановите къщи) was nothing short of exceptional. This is what true customer service looks like. From the very moment we stepped inside, we were warmly welcomed and made to feel completely at ease. The team didn’t just seat us — they took the time to explain the history and traditions behind the restaurant, guided us through the menu, and suggested authentic dishes with genuine enthusiasm. It felt personal, not transactional. The atmosphere is simply magical. The traditional interior, the lively vibe, and the beautiful Bulgarian folk music create an immersive cultural experience. During our visit, there was even a birthday celebration happening, which added to the joyful energy of the evening. And the highlight? The musicians surprised us by playing a famous Hindi song — a thoughtful and heartwarming gesture that made the night unforgettable. The food itself was outstanding — rich, authentic Bulgarian flavors prepared to perfection. Every dish reflected tradition and quality. A very special mention to Elena, who was truly the gem of the evening. Her warmth, attentiveness, and professionalism elevated the entire experience. She embodies hospitality at its finest. This was not just dinner — it was an experience. I would wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone visiting Sofia. An ultimate cultural and culinary delight! 🇧🇬

We went to this restaurant because of a large number of recommendations. But we were disappointed. The appetizers were really good, the main course was disappointing, there was too much pepper in the meat so it dominated and the taste of the meat itself could not be expressed. The potatoes as a side dish were full of water and tasteless, just like the salad was dry and tasteless. In any case, this place is not necessary to visit.

This traditional Bulgarian restaurant in Sofia is a quintessential place to try while visiting. From the ornate exterior to the rustic, homey interior. The staff are dressed up and when I went for dinner there was a live band playing. I was worried for a minute when I entered that it could skew on the cheesy super touristy side but when I tried the food, it was legit. The menu can be overwhelming to choose from because it’s so large but we loved everything we ordered. The skewered chicken was fire grilled perfectly. We were glad we were seated indoors and not in the outdoor/courtyard section because that’s where all the smoking was. We had so much fun we even met people at nearby tables. A really cute, themed experience for visitors that I can definitely recommend after traveling to 31 countries.
