Place is okay, it looks promising but then turns mediocre during the experience. Biggest issue I had is that we (group of 9) followed the owners “advice” that he will treat us well and sets up a good table, and wanted to make sure we leave a 5star review.Also made it seem like that first drink is on the house, but wasnt true. The food wasn't bad but portions weren't huge but heftily charged. basic beers are 13 bucks including tax and gratuity, and the final bill for each of us with 2 drinks average was 90 bucks a person, what a magic trick! he even had the audacity to “divide by 9” and round up the last 16 bucks, insane. Sorry, yeah you had okay baklava “not even close to European standards though” but I ain't paying 5bucks per piece (I say, per piece, not per plate). Evade this place and find something better and exclusive for the money, or same quality for half the price. Never will come back sir, but that was your business model anyway i suppose; pluck ‘em while you have ‘em.

So happy to have found Sofra! The food was amazing, the lavender cocktail was the best drink I’ve had in a long time and the space is absolutely beautiful and homie. I’ve had it for lunch, dinner and takeout and they were all delicious, highly recommended!

I never knew I loved Turkish food. Now I know thanks to Sofra. I haven’t had anything here that wasn’t amazing, also, make sure you don’t skip on their Turkish tea. It’s great

Love this place! Great to have a real Turkish chef making wonderful dishes. The baklava is to die for, and the mantı is delicious.
Absolutely delicious. I lived in Turkiye for 10 years, and everything was authentic and nostalgic. Beautiful presentation, delicious taste, warm service, lovely patio seating.

Amazing food and great atmosphere! The owner, Kenna, was very gracious and a lovely host. We live in the neighborhood and we will definitely be back!
Had a fabulous dinner outside. Excellent customer service and very attentive. We ordered the appetizers garlic shrimp, hummus, and moutabal. Our favorite appetizers were the hummus and the garlic shrimp. They provided warm bread with the shrimp, which paired perfectly. For our mains, we shared the grilled salmon, which was cooked to perfection, had a good crust, and was nice and smoky—more than enough food for two people to share.
