Another great meal here. Today I ordered the lamb and beef shawarma plate along with falafel. This…read moretime I went with a dozen, and they were perfectly crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. They tasted even better dipped in hummus. The shawarma plate was just as satisfying, with tender and flavorful meat. I like that it comes with two types of rice, fresh salad, hummus, and warm pita bread, which makes it a complete and filling meal. The ordering process is simple. You place your order at the counter, get your number, find a table, and the staff brings your food when it's ready. Service was smooth and efficient. It's a simple, laid-back space where you can enjoy your meal without feeling rushed. Overall, I really enjoyed my meal and appreciate the great service. :)

Customer service was not their strong suit as when I greeted the cashier, he seemed to not care at all. Once my food came out it looked great and I was ready to dig in. First fork full of fries and the beef/lamb meat and this is when it hit me. SALTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTYYYYYYYYYY It was just overpowering the amount of salt on this meat. I ate what little I could and left most of the meal. I would consider going back and just getting the veggie combo meal.

Sofra Grill has quickly become one of my favorite places to enjoy it! Go-to orders: -Chicken Skewers Plate - SO MOIST AND JUICY!!!!! -Steak or Chicken Shawarma Plate -Steak Shawarma Fries FOOD: 9/10 Flavorful food, juicy protein, fresh sides- it is all so good. The portions are pretty big and not overly salty or oily. Their pita bread is very fluffy as well. SERVICE: 9/10 Staff is always quick, very kind, and chill. AMBIANCE: 10/10 They recently expanded! They opened up the wall and added an extended section to the restaurant. The decor is simple yet aesthetically pleasing--nothing feels overdone. I also love the attention to detail in their plating; everything feels thoughtfully presented.

The hummus was creamy, the chicken shawarma was flavorful, and the bread was so good I briefly considered putting it in my pocket for later. The Adana kebab had enough spice to remind me that I still have functioning taste buds, while the lahmacun was essentially Turkish pizza, but which raises the obvious question: Why haven't we been doing this all along? So far, so good. My stomach was optimistic. Then things became a little less heroic. Some dishes seemed to have been prepared by completely different kitchens that weren't on speaking terms. The mixed grill arrived looking like it was preparing to support me through the apocalypse. There was so much food that I started making strategic decisions about which items I would eat now and which ones I would leave behind for my imaginary second stomach. A few dishes were excellent; others were more "perfectly acceptable, but let's not get carried away." The atmosphere is pleasant, the menu has plenty of choices, and there are enough good dishes to make me want to return. But three stars feels right: not bad enough to complain, not good enough to write poetry about. I'd happily come back for the shawarma, hummus, bread, and kunafa--but next time I'm bringing stretchy pants, a financial advisor, and someone to carry me to the car. Service was okay.

This is such a gem in South City -- it's the perfect meet up spot for lunch, happy hour, or dinner…read more Recently had lunch here and the food, service, and ambiance were all lit. Let's start with the service. Our server was incredibly attentive from the moment we walked in. We were handed menus and then asked if we preferred still or sparkling waters - we opted for the latter. Next, he politely made some recommendations to the more popular items on the lunch menu. We went with his suggestions and he did not disappoint! For two people, we shared the following two items: * MEZZE PLATTER - hummus, babaghanouge, falafel, tabbouleh, and pita ($19) * BEET SALAD - roasted heirloom beets, carrots, goat cheese, honey thyme vinaigrette ($18) For our entrees, we had the following: * BEEF SHAWARMA WRAP - lettuce, sumac onion, pickles, tahini sauce, mixed greens ($19) * ROASTED SALMON - pacific salmon, turmeric rice, grilled broccolini ($29) Food was absolutely incredible. Fresh ingredients, simple preparation, Mediterranean fusion, and assembled thoughtfully without compromising nutrition. I am a fan. The restaurant is beautifully decorated with an inviting style for large groups, intimate fireside chats, or bar seating. They even have a pretty neat happy hour menu that I hope to check out one day. All in all, this is a top fav in South City. Looking forward to a future dining experience here!

Tucked…read moreaway on a quiet side street alongside what appeared to be mostly convenience stores, the restaurant felt like a hidden gem. The dining room is spacious and sleek, and there were only a few other diners on a weekday afternoon. We were dining as a large party, but multiple serves ensured we were well taken care of throughout the meal. We started off with a few mezze platters to share. Even with three mezze platters for our party of about 10, everyone was pretty much limited to one falafel, one small wedge of thin pita, and a small spoonful of dip. Apart from the small serving size, the hummus and babaganoush were on point. I ordered the roasted salmon for my entree, which our servers kindly packed up for me since I had to leave our lunch early. Even when I enjoyed my salmon about an hour later, it was still flaky and tender. The broccoli rabe was a bit of a challenge to eat with a plastic fork and knife because the stalk was so tough to cut through, but I appreciated the generous portion of greens on the side. The saffron rice was fluffy and seasoned just enough to be flavorful on its own. Overall, the food and service were solid, and I'd consider returning for an offsite lunch.

The restroom was extremely clean, which is always a huge plus. I'll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend! New favorite!
