    Greek Fries
    Joel M.

    Mediterranean food is absolutely incredible, and Sofreh is no exception. The Greek Fries have gyros meat, grilled red onions, feta cheese, crinkle cut Fries, red bell pepper, cilantro, and this 'house sauce' on top that was sweet like thousand pretty good. The quality of the ingredients are very high at this restaraunt, they could have been a bit more generous with the meat on the fries but im not taking that away from the overall flavor bomb that were these fries. Service is at a Window, you get a buzzer for when it's ready, exterior eating area with umbrellas by the sidewalk and on the side of the restaurant. We ended up parking on the street as there is no dedicated parking lot. Give em a try! They have loads of great Mediterranean options here.

    Gyro was good. Spicy Feta Fries left much to be desired. $30 seems like a high price point for a Gyro and Fries yet here we are. Can't get around and find value pricing. Liked the little outdoor patio area and the fact that I could put in a food order via phone (instead of just DoorDash). If I was in the area I probably wouldn't tab it on my go-to places but overall a decent but pricey lunch.

    Options they offer but close seating area here

    Edit: HEALTH SCORE is C... I didn't know that before coming. Definitely not coming back!!!!! I was really looking forward to Sofeh because Persian food is one of my favorites and since we were already in Monterey Park it was an easy drive to their Los Angeles location. The reviews were strong so I went in with high hopes. Parking was the first headache because it's extremely limited around the area and we ended up walking from a few houses away after circling for a while. When we arrived, we realized it's all outdoor seating with no indoor option and on a warm sunny day that definitely made things uncomfortable. We approached the lady at the window to figure out how to order since there were no clear signs and the setup was a bit confusing. She wasn't outright rude but she wasn't friendly either, and that lack of warmth made the first impression feel cold. We ordered the lamb chops, chicken, and beef mix plate which came out to around sixty dollars for two people. The food took about twenty minutes to come out and you could tell it was freshly grilled by the smell, which I appreciated. When the food arrived it looked great and the portions were fair. The lamb chops were juicy and flavorful, the chicken was tender, and the beef was average. The rice had good texture and the salad was fine, but the sauces were laughably tiny, barely enough for a few bites. Unfortunately the biggest issue wasn't the food but the bugs. There were flies and bees constantly landing on the table and buzzing around our plates which made it impossible to relax. We tried to enjoy our meal but spent most of the time swatting them away. The fans they had running helped a little but not enough to make a difference. Another major disappointment was the lack of a restroom. For a restaurant serving food that you eat with your hands, that's a serious problem. They had hand sanitizer available but it's not the same as being able to wash your hands properly. Overall I would give Sofeh three out of five stars. The food itself was tasty, especially the lamb chops, but the overall dining experience fell short. Between the bugs, lack of shade, confusing ordering system, and no restroom, it's not somewhere I'd dine in again. It's better suited for takeout because while the food has potential, the atmosphere just doesn't make it worth sitting down for.

    Great food and excellent service always from Aime and Nick, the owner. Please do not judge this business based on the negative reviews from some grumpy customers. Every time that we eat at Sofreh we enjoy the best Mediterranean food in Los Angeles. Today is the 26th of June and we are at Sfreh once again. We cannot wait to eat their delicious food. Thank you Aime and Nick for the great healthy and tasty food!! Oscar and Blanca Valdez Yayyyyy for Sofreh!!

    Ordered the lamb chop + chicken lule combo, some fries. Fries were delicious, but the lamb + chicken were rather dry, which was the main course of the meal. Portions are very generous. We definitely over ordered. Overall, a nice decently cheap meal. Good to stop by if it's convenient and you're hungry, but not worth a trek. Theres no indoor dining, but the patio area is pretty nice.

    Second time here and came with my family. Beef lover plate was the best of the best. I never ate lamb and it was the bomb! Highly recommend this plate. Enjoy!

    This is a small place with a very cute outdoor seating. There's not much shade from the sun though so bring your sunglasses or a hat. I got a plate of food. The chicken was flavorful but a bit dry. I'm not sure what the other meat was as it tasted funny. I really liked the salad though.

    Celebrated my boyfriend's work anniversary here! It's a bit pricey (and their hummus portions are very small) but the portions make up for it. Everything's always fresh, service is quick and attentive. There's and indoor outdoor side patio with lots of seating. Parking can be a challenge to find sometimes. Overall a great spot to fill all your Mediterranean cravings!!
