We were disappointed they weren’t open for in dining- only takeout. HOWEVER, we were delighted by our order- chicken shawarma and grape leaves. The young lady at the counter was sweet and personable.
We were impressed by the array of herb infused bottled vinegar that address a variety of ailments- curious about their effectiveness but at $50 a bottle didn’t want to gamble it.
We will be back for takeout and look forward to when they are open for dining.

Excellent cuisine. If you enjoy middle eastern cuisine with a Turkish flair inclusive of stellar service- Sofra is a must do!
Siyar, our server was top notch as he created a warm and hospitable atmosphere.

Excellent food, interior decoration and service.
Update: 2nd visit. Food was great as usual, but I didn't like the Halloween decorations. The decorations they already have are really beautiful. I don't think they need to add decorations from a holiday that's should not be celebrated by us. This holiday has alot of bad history. I felt uncomfortable seeing this Halloween decorations in a well established restaurant like this one.
