I visited Sofra for my birthday Dinner with family and friends. The ambience was nice, but unfortunately, that was the only highlight of my visit.

The restaurant was empty when I went, yet the service was slow and lacked attentiveness. The food was okay, not many vegan or vegetarian choice or recommendations by server —neither bad nor memorable—and for the prices, I expected better quality and flavor.

While Sofra has potential, the slow service and average food don’t make it a place I’d rush to recommend. Picture of food on website quite deceptive and misleading. even the salad was very sour too much lemon juice .. then add 18 %tip on my bill .. I don't like that . .I don't know if I would go back or recommend to vegetarian people .. but you never know ...

If I’m in New Jersey this spot is my go to spot for Turkish food! It’s delicious and has amazing options. I recently tried the green appetizer called girit ezme which tasted amazing. I’m definitely coming back. The kabab’s are amazing, but the Lahmajun is my favorite over here!! 🔥🔥🔥

I tried this restaurant first time service was really good. The waiter interested with us really good. I liked the atmosphere and music but the food is not good. Especially meats and Adana terrible . Taste wasn’t like a meat. And I paid 37 dolar tip . I heard that tips goes directly for boss. This is not fair I wanna give it to tip directly waiter because he interested with us very well.

Sofra Turkish & Mediterranean Cuisine is a true gem for anyone seeking authentic Mediterranean flavors. From the moment you step inside, the warm and inviting atmosphere, paired with attentive and friendly service, sets the tone for a memorable dining experience.

The menu offers an impressive variety of traditional Turkish and Mediterranean dishes, each bursting with vibrant flavors and prepared with fresh, high-quality ingredients. I highly recommend starting with the mezze platter – the creamy hummus, smoky baba ghanoush, and perfectly seasoned grape leaves are a feast in themselves.

For the main course, the lamb shish kebab is a standout. Tender, juicy, and grilled to perfection, it’s paired with fragrant rice and fresh vegetables. The chicken adana and mixed grill are also excellent choices for meat lovers, while vegetarians will appreciate the rich flavors of the stuffed eggplant and lentil soup.

Be sure to save room for dessert! The baklava is a must-try – perfectly flaky, not overly sweet, and served with a drizzle of honey that ties it all together. Pair it with a cup of Turkish tea or coffee for the perfect ending to your meal.

Overall, Sofra delivers an exceptional culinary experience. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or just craving delicious, homemade Mediterranean cuisine, this restaurant is a fantastic choice. The quality, flavor, and hospitality are unmatched – I can’t wait to return and explore more of the menu. Highly recommend!

This restaurant is very nice, the food is delicious but the customer service is very slow, we waited more than 30 minutes for them to bring the dessert. Their prices are so high, they should have very high standards in everything, especially in customer service.

Great service, great presentation, and great food. Prices are reasonable for a night out, some items are on the pricey side, so we save the visit for special occasions.
