I wanted to try this place since it's supposed to be inspired by European cuisine and vibes, which…read moreI love. But after dining here, it doesn't live up to that expectation. I came here on a Sunday night and it was pretty dead. The restaurant is extremely small and tight - inside only had a few tables and the rest were bar seats. It's a good thing they have a patio area because that's the only dining area that could fit most patrons or larger parties. Just don't expect a view of the dock or harbor, as the restaurant is surrounded by apartment and office complexes. The restaurant itself is located underneath a building complex. I feel like the space is more fitting for a coffee shop instead of a restaurant. Even small restaurants in Europe have more space than this. Food quality was good and ingredients were pretty fresh, but the flavors were just off. For some dishes, the combination of flavors just don't go well together while other dishes lacked flavor and needed more salt. We ordered scallop with rice and tuna crudo to start. The tuna was bland, lacked citrus and acidity while the scallop wasn't charred enough, was undercooked and translucent. For entrees, we had branzino and steak with polenta. The branzino was a total miss and the worst dish of the entire meal. It was smothered in some kind of weird bland curry sauce that completely ruined the freshness of the fish. And the layers of random mint leaves on top of the fish added nothing to this dish. The mint was better off being mixed into a light olive oil sauce instead of having some odd curry sauce with mint topped on the fish. It tasted more like an Indian dish- nothing European-inspired about it at all. As for the steak, it was not charred enough and had super dry fibrous mushroom on top of it. The mushroom added nothing to the steak and it tasted like eating bark. Even the olive oil cake tasted quite stale and the fruit compote on top was way too sweet. The best dish overall was the affogato ice cream with espresso. Service was very friendly but oddly slow considering there was hardly anyone there. My drink came out after food was served. Price is definitely on the higher end and I personally don't feel it's worth the price.

Nestled in an outdoor mall, Sofra Urbana is a culinary treasure for those seeking authentic Bosnian flavors. This cozy establishment, offering both indoor and outdoor seating, sets the stage for a remarkable gastronomic journey. The standout dish, "Cevapi," is a rare gem in Los Angeles. These minced beef bites, served in Bazlama bread with onions, kajmak, and a flavorful eggplant sauce called avjar, are grilled to perfection. The enticing barbecue aroma alone is enough to make your mouth water. Sofra Urbana's Cevapi is unparalleled, making the one-hour drive from home an unquestionable choice. The meticulous use of baking soda as a secret ingredient in the Cevapi showcases the kitchen's expertise. It's a tricky ingredient to handle, as it can alter the pH level of the meat and cause unpleasant odors when cooked. Many places add baking soda directly, but at Sofra Urbana, they handle it with finesse, activating it in a lemon or some acidic ingredient. This attention to detail ensures the meat maintains its high quality without any off-putting smells. The Sofra Burger is a substantial delight, using the same delightful Cevapi blend. It comes pre-loaded with kajmak and ajvar, providing a hassle-free and flavorsome experience. Families can picture parents savoring the Cevapi while kids enjoy the generous burgers. While the Burek and pizza didn't quite reach the perfection of the Cevapi, they were commendable. The Burek, above average compared to similar offerings, and the pizza, with a variety of beef-based toppings for Halal eaters, showcase the restaurant's versatility. Service at Sofra Urbana is outstanding. The staff radiates warmth, always ready with a smile and eager to take your order. This adds an extra layer of enjoyment to an already delightful dining experience. In conclusion, Sofra Urbana is a fantastic destination for those craving Bosnian Cevapi, Turkish kofte, or Greek meatballs. Having explored Mediterranean restaurants across the U.S., Sofra Urbana stands out as the best, especially for its exceptional Cevapi, and welcoming service. Highly recommended for anyone seeking an authentic taste of Balkan cuisine. read more

Sofra Urbana is an absolute gem for anyone craving authentic Bosnian and Yugoslavian cuisine. The food here is truly outstanding, especially the ćevapi and prosciutto pizza, which taste just like the dishes you'd find back in the old country. Every bite brings back memories, and it's rare to find that level of authenticity so far from the Balkans. Ervin and his crew make the experience even better; they're incredibly friendly and genuinely enjoy chatting with their customers, making everyone feel welcome and right at home. What really sets Sofra Urbana apart is its unique atmosphere. The place feels like a little corner of the former Yugoslavia, where you'll see people from all backgrounds and nationalities who once shared that country coming together to enjoy amazing food and good company. The sense of camaraderie and nostalgia is palpable, making every visit special. Prices are very reasonable,l especially considering the high quality of the food, and the overall vibe is warm, lively, and one-of-a-kind. I highly recommend Sofra Urbana to anyone looking for delicious, authentic Balkan food and an unbeatable, welcoming atmosphere. Regardless if you are from ex Yugoslavia and looking for authentic food, or if you would like to try some new tastes from the world, I highly recommend this place for anyone to try. Once you try it, you will continue coming here forever. read more

Sofra Urbana is a hidden gem that brings the flavors of authentic Bosnian cuisine to Los Angeles. As someone who craves Bosnian cevapi, I've searched far and wide, and Sofra Urbana is the closest I've come to the real deal. The Bosnian cevapi here are a revelation - juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. It's a simple dish, but one that so many places struggle to get right. Here, every bite transports you to the streets of Bosnia, with the unmistakable taste of quality beef and traditional seasoning. Making the drive from Culver City is more than worth it for this culinary experience. Sofra Urbana is not just a restaurant; it's a taste of sarajevo for those craving authentic Bosnian cuisine. If you're in search of a hidden gem that delivers on flavor and authenticity, look no further than Sofra Urbana. read more

While the culinary experience lived up to expectations, the service left much to be desired. We traveled for an hour with high hopes, only to encounter a consistently bad attitude from the staff. Despite the restaurant possibly being overwhelmed, there's a fine line between being blunt and plain rude. The menu showcased a variety of tantalizing dishes, each delivering on flavor and quality. Unfortunately, our overall enjoyment was marred by the unpleasant encounters with the service staff. Simple requests were met with resistance, and it seemed like the team was not attuned to providing a positive customer experience. read more

I recently dined at Sofra Urbana and it was an exceptional experience. This small, family-run gem offers an authentic taste of the Balkans that's hard to find elsewhere. The bread was freshly baked and delicious, the pizza had a perfect crust and flavorful toppings, and the burek was flaky and filled with rich, savory goodness. The highlight for me was the ćevapi--juicy, seasoned to perfection, and absolutely outstanding. The warmth and hospitality of the staff made the experience even better. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking to enjoy genuine Balkan cuisine! read more

Awesome pizza. I have tried them all in the HB, FV area and Rocco's is the best pizza I've had period. Their regular crust is a medium thickness pizza with top quality toppings, and they use a deck oven, not a conveyor, which bakes a perfect crust. I recently tried their NY style thin crust pizza and it is better than the so called top dog NY type pizzeria's in the area. Cool little place, and the antipasto salads and wings are amazing. High def TV with the game on, and cute girls working the counter!!!! read more

My favorite local pizza joint. When I'm tired after pulling in the hours at work and the wife is too lazy to cook - don't tell her I said that - she flexes her tired muscles and calls in delivery to this place or Dano's. When I get my say, I tell her to dial up Roccos. I prefer it to Danos because of the crust - its more NY style than Danos.
