Stumbled upon this restaurant while searching for a lunch spot with friends, and it ended up being…read moresuch a fun experience. 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.

We walked in for lunch and were immediately seated. Though they also take reservations on Resy. We came dressed casually though the vibe seemed a bit dressier with the dimly lit interior. The restaurant has a clean, modern feel while still maintaining the charm of a neighborhood eatery. *FOOD* The menu offers a great variety of Greek-inspired dishes made with fresh ingredients and bold flavors. I ordered the lobster gyro, which was absolutely delicious. The lobster was flavorful and the combination of ingredients came together nicely in the pita. The dish also comes with a side of fries. *SERVICE* The service was friendly and attentive throughout our lunch. Our waitress was welcoming and checked in periodically to make sure everything was going well. Overall, great experience all around and it's the type of place you'd want as a regular neighborhood favorite. I'd definitely return and look forward to trying more of the menu!

The kofta and fish were flavorful and paired perfectly with the rice and salad. Overall a great place with kind staff and owners -- definitely a must try.

Let's get the elephant out of the room first…read more Ambience: Non-existent. Interior looks bare. It has a few seating. This is not a spot for a romantic date. We got takeout and were very satisfied. Food: I've had Egyptian before in NYC and I liked this much more. Here's what we ordered: Dolmas (stuffed grapeleaves). They were served hot. Never had them hot and I was surprised by how much I liked them. The stuffing was soft inside with a hint of sourness. Completely different from the typical cold pickled versions we had. I usually have 2-3 pieces but this time we ate the whole pound of it. Stuffed Cornish hen. This order takes a while, so order ahead. At first, we were not impressed by the meat. Not bad, very moist and meat fell off the bone. But, then we ate it with the stuffed rice. Rich umami. All the flavor went into the rice. Very rich flavor and together it was delicious. I would add hot sauce to the mix. Chicken kabob. All breast meat. Decent portion. It was not dry and very well spiced. My in-laws loved it. I'm not a fan of white meat but recognize that it was done well. Stuffed eggplant. Indian eggplant. Also hot version. Firm exterior, soft interior. Cuts through really well to share. Definitely like it more than the cold appetizer i've had elsewhere. More on the milder side so other dishes tasted better. Biftek (fried breaded thin steak). Fried very well. Didn't get soggy in the container so the kitchen knew to let it cool and stay crispy. Nothing bad but also not special. Many different cuisine does the same thing. Needs a dip. I would order it again and I imagine kids with a tunnel vision palate would like it too because it's like chicken nugget and french fries to them. Meat shawarma. This was disappointing. It's not bad but boring compared to all the other dishes. It's pretty much meat over rice but since I come from the city, it doesn't stack up against the lamb/chicken over rice from halal carts. It was a little dry and came with tahini (hummus based). Pretty sure this version is more authentic but I'm biased to the lamb over rice covered in white sauce. If you never had Egyptian before, it's in between Mediterranean and Middle Eastern because it is both but at the same time different enough to be its own category. There's a Greek restaurant in the same plaza and I would say the fare is completely different although their dishes overlap in the menu. They are not comparable. Verdict: We ordered more food the very next day. Until we try other restaurants in the area, this is currently my favorite Egyptian restaurant.

There is also a paan shop, in one corner of the restaurant. We were a little bit confused as to where to sit or who to order from.

It was well seasoned, crispy and delicious. Generous portion of rice also with the dish. Lamb chapli kabob and boneless lamb cubes. This dish was also pretty good. Served with rice. The lamb was well seasoned. We enjoyed the food. Service was good. Manager came to our table couple of times to ensure everything was good. There was constant customer traffic back n forth.

The service was friendly and the location casual, but comfortable. We both got the falafel platters, and we split the fried cheese and fries. We also both got cokes.

It came with three little sauces which could have punched a bit more flavor, but was delicious nonetheless. The falafel came with a small side salad and plentiful rice.
