This is a magical place, where you can have the best home-made greek food, but at the same time try some modern and interesting dishes and recipes. The burgers are a delight, but the gyros monster and slow cooked beef kavarma with eggs, as well as the rest of their traditional offers are unbeatable! Everything we have tried so far was nothing short of perfect! Their cocktails wine selection and shisha are really good too. The service is always perfect, everyone makes you feel special and cherished as a guest. You simply cannot miss a visit to Carnivale when you are in Sofia!

We were lucky going at Carnivale birthday Friday night. We had a great cocktail from sparkling prosecco as birthday welcome drink. The Guest Sommelier( for the birthday weekend ) suggest great wines from Santorini and Crete . The price offer was the best we found for these rare Santorini wines. The food was so tasty ...the aftertaste unique..the products was so fresh and the price for the quantity and the quality was also value for money. Definitely we are going back Surely i suggest it.

Carnivale is one of the great places in Sofia that you can visit for a nice supper. Food is tasty, shisha is quality and on great price, crafted beers, friendly staff and great customer service. You will have an amazing evening there, for dessert - oh you will love mama’s baklava! Recommend on a 110%!

Went to try after seeing all of the good reviews even though it was not centrally located. The shisha was really good, but the price of 35 was far too expensive compared to other places as the lago di serdika (much better place and 25 a shisha). Overall not bad

I took a lady out to dinner there after having been recommended the place before. The food was quite good and we even got to be the first to try a new take on one of their signature desserts(The chocolate parfait was really good!). The waiters were polite, helpful, positive and attentive so maximum points for them. One weird downside that we did not expect was the weird menu design and convoluted translations in places(also a typo in the very beginning of the menu). The fish tank was cute as well. Will probably go back there again :)

Service Simply ridiculous even worst than the average Bulgarian standard. 3 people at the same table served without considering that they are there to eat together not in different hours. Food in the average. Gyros too salty but might be an occasional error.

Best experience in Sofia :) The food is amazing and , you can recognise all the flavours no matter how many dishes you try. Dishes are not only tasteful but also tell a story about the country's history, people and traditions. The environment plus the amazing food and nargile is an advantage for this restaurant. People are really polite and friendly. Highly recommended!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am in love with this place. The food is mouth-watering and excellent quality ingredients too. The burgers are so tasty. Portions are big and the menu hits all my spots. The team at Carnivale are honestly so lovely and friendly. They always send little free gifts and messages along with their Takeaway food and respond so quickly to messages online. You can tell they are really proud of their food. Ps; get the gyros. and my personal favourite is the pulled pork fries.

The place was easy to find, the food was homemade and delicious with the tastiest ingredients, and I could find ample parking space nearby. This is the second time come and I can say the place is upgrading the menu every time. I will try the delivery option too as long as I stay in Sofia. Great taste with great prices and lots of options, especially with the Greek food.

My impressions are based on the home deliveries made from this restaurant. Always very fresh and delicious food, some complimentary treats. Original dishes, good portions. Try the Gyros Monster - a very nice meal for two.

Very pleasant place with welcoming staff in close proximity to the Sofia "South Park". Being a fan of authentic Greek food I have to say that the Homemade dishes and BBQ was a complete revelation. "Mama's Biftekakia" (the meatballs) were out of this World. Best I've ever tried (hands down). The homecooked Beef and sausages were amazing. Fresh food, great atmosphere and dishes that one cannot try at any other Greek place. Chapeau!

The place is very nice, well decorated. The staff is friendly with quick service. The food is almost only greek cuisine, traditional recipes, pita-gyros and some burgers. The food was well cooked and tasty. If you want to have Greek food in Sofia that's the place. My 4 star rating was because of high prices. Prices are equal to the most restaurants in Greece and not in Bulgaria. They could lower prices as the prices in other restaurants in Sofia, because Bulgaria cost of life is lower than Greece.

This is one of the best restaurant where you can touch to every single part of the food and you can taste fenomenal dishes there. You must check and try the excellent food and perfect and classy shishas. Thanks Mr.Giannis to be very kind all of the time with our lunchtime❤️

I didn't like it at all. The place is full of smoke. It wants to be a Greek restaurant but there isn't a single dish based on fish or shellfish!!!! Some of the staff speak only English and not Bulgarian. There is no wine list, you are waited on by a "sommelier" who also only speaks English and who first asks you what budget you have to spend!!!!!!!!!! Personally, I ordered sausage with mustard and side dish, I was served a frankfurter!!! with little to no mustard, the garnish onion was very strong. The worst was that at 10.10pm they served us the bill and started turning off the lights. at 10.20pm they turned off all the lights in the place, basically kicking us out without even saying goodbye. very rude, we will not go back again and do not recommend it.
