Walked in to a nice coffe bar area which did not seem functional .it well decorated with some antique accents keys if different shapes n sizes We were seated and a waiter took our order immediately. The place was a bit busy for a weekday. Complementary wam pita bread n ezme , sun dried tomatoes n spicy jalapeños were not bad . A paper form being warm there was nothing more to it. Got the mixed grill for two which was served with a side of soup and salad . Both sides were delicious. The grilled chicken kebabs and chops were passable though not juicy . All Lamb kebab choices were tough and chewy . This is a mediocre spot as I age v had better Kebabs in the same area . Not my kind of food.

Here I am... 12 years later to update my review!…read more My sister picked Sahara for my birthday dinner because she knows that I love Mediterranean (big change since my last review--a lot has happened in over a decade lol) There is a parking lot, but it is really small and was filled when we visited. On the street parking shouldn't really be an issue in the area. We found with no issue on a Tuesday evening. Inside is cozy.. could be a little warmer, but I'll give that it was an exceptionally cold December evening. The atmosphere gives cozy vibes though, which I appreciate. We were immediately seated upstairs, where they have plenty of large group seating options. Service was attentive and fast. We ordered a round of delicious appetizers.. hummus, saksuka, cheese rolls.. all of it was delicious. I especially loved the octopus app special.. magnificent! Entrees were especially of large portion, which was greatly appreciated. Everything tasted fresh and was beautifully presented. I ordered the Pyramid chicken which was delicious. Their chicken is flavorful and juicy. For dessert, my keskul was amazing! Plenty of pistachio on top with a delicate and very well balanced vanilla custard. I could eat that daily. I definitely plan on returning!!

The salad is crisp and flavorful, but not over done. Together they marry perfectly. I like to add the yogurt sauce over the chicken kebabs and rice, it just creates a velvety smooth texture. I'm a sucker the their bhabhaganouj. I'm positive it's made fresh for each order, it's warm, hint of garlic. I can eat this alone with pita and be happy. The hummus is bright and delicious. Perfectly smooth texture, pure mouth watering goodness. Can't leave out the taboulli salad. Always fresh, never overdone, and the added pomegranate seeds give it a burst of joy in your mouth. The lentil soup has this earthy, rich vibe to it. I think they add cumin, and provide a lemon wedge which just brightens it and ties it altogether. Making a perfect lunch all on its own. I can't wait to try more!

Our large family group came at odd hours and had the place mostly to ourselves until the proper dinner rush on a Sunday. We ordered 2-3 mixed grills which came with appetizer and pita. My kids extra order of fries came out fast. Good food, the meat was cooked well and served hot. The apps were yummy with the I think eggplant sauté being the standout.

The menu is perfect for sharing family-style, and we especially loved the complimentary puffy bread (which is even better with an order of one of their dips!). Our group shared a few appetizers along with the Sultan Plate (large meat platter for 4-6 people), which comes with a dramatic flame presentation and a generous assortment of meats. Everything was flavorful and we all enjoyed trying the different varieties. The adana kebab was one of my personal favorites. We were also pleasantly surprised by how spacious the restaurant is. There are two beautiful private dining rooms near the front that'd be perfect for a party. In general, highly recommend dining here with a group!

I feel like Mediterranean food is one of those foods that can be a hit or miss for me…read more Unfortunately Sofra was just okay to me. My sister and I came her with our friend. Our friend saw a video on TikTok advertising this restaurant. Unfortunately, when it comes to TikTok, sometimes they hype things up. For appetizer we got the hummus. Now the hummus was delicious! Very good hummus. I definitely recommend getting that. It came with bread so we used that for the hummus. Then we decided to get one of the oven specialty to share. We decided to get the mixed pie. All the ingredients in the mixed pie sounded good but in my opinion, the flavors didn't mesh well it tasted a little bland. The portion size of the pie is great, which makes it shareable. But I would skip the mixed pie and try one of their other oven specialties. As for my main entrée I decided to get the Gyro. Again, I didn't enjoy it enough to eat it all and I had leftovers and I didn't enjoy it enough to wanna take it home. Overall, the service was great and the people there were friendly. The establishment is very pretty and they have a section where you can host a small party. I will say just because I didn't enjoy my meal as much doesn't mean you won't.

He was always one step ahead, making sure we had everything we needed while still giving us time to enjoy our meal. Which was some of the best food I've had in my life. His great attitude, professionalism, and outstanding service made our celebration even more memorable. You can tell he truly cares about his guests and goes above and beyond to make sure they have an amazing experience. We'll definitely be coming back because of Brandon. He turned a great meal into an unforgettable anniversary, and we can't thank him enough. Highly recommend asking for him if you visit Labebe. Five stars all the way!

Came here for a late lunch with a friend after watching The Odyssey in the AMC nearby…read more The restaurant was spacious and nicely decorated with Greek colored table setting. We ordered an appetizer and two entrees to share. The eggplant dip was refreshing and pairs well with the pita bread (which itself was so delicious and nicely baked). The lamb shank is a must try! The portion size is massive. The lamb was tender and not gamy and tomato sauce was flavorful and the orzo was cooked well. The chicken dish was less impressive in comparison but well grilled. The service was fast and friendly. It's such a good find in New Brunswick and would highly recommend esp for group gatherings!

We used to frequent this place when we lived in NJ. We currently live in MD and haven't been here…read morein about 10 years. I was so excited to come back. Unfortunately, I was highly disappointed. I know things changed since the previous owner (older Greek man) no longer owned it. He used to stop by the tables and chat with customers and we noticed that the portions had become smaller. This time we came for lunch on a Sunday. Place was kind of empty, with the exception of 2 large tables. We ordered Saganaki and were informed by waitress that they no longer flambéd it table side. We still ordered and it was good although not melted like we remembered. Husband only ordered the lemon soup, which he said was good. My daughter and I both ordered beef and lamb gyros, I ordered it with Greek fries (with the Greek cheese over them) and my daughter ordered hers with lemon potatoes. Both gyros came dry, in hard shaved pieces and I barely ate my fries as they were worse than fast food fries and not the traditional Greek cheese over them. The tzatziki was good, however, my daughter's had a hair in it. The worse part was that when we brought it to the waitresses attention, she was not apologetic or surprised. She just said she would bring a new one. This was unacceptable. To make matters worse, I went to their store next door to get the cheese I could fry at home and their custard dessert; they had neither. What a disappointment to the entire experience. Won't be returning if ever in the area.

All of the different spreads were delicious and presented well. It doesn't come with bread or pita though, so be sure to save some of the welcome bread or order more bread as a side.

My only complaint is that the ravioli's didn't have much filling. The main courses are also a little on the expensive side for central NJ. Regardless, my family and I really enjoyed our meal and would definitely come back again and try more of the menu.
