My friends and I came here for dinner. We sat outdoor. You place the order at the cashier and they give you a number. Here's what we ordered: Ground meat kabob with 2 sides of Salad and babaganoush Chicken kabob with salad and tadziki Chicken endive salad They were all very good and tasty. The meat was juicy. read more

First of all the service is okay for what it is. The staff come and check on you once in a while. The food was sub-mediocre. The chicken kabob tasted off, the grilled veggies were burnt and taste of lamb. The vinaigrette was wayyyyyy too acidic. And the Thai chicken wrap somehow tasted like cleaning chemical. If the food was better, I would have loved this place. The portion was okay and fairly good price. Unfortunately, I will not be returning to this establishment. read more

I came in on a weekday morning for a to go coffee but I'm realizing that I need to come back and try their food and pastries. They weren't crowded that morning and they made my coffee with care. I tried the Rose Water latte and it was excellent. Service was very friendly and helpful and I look forward to coming back and trying the food. read more

Visiting my sister in Burbank. The Food at Sotta is good and tastes fresh. Service was quick! Staff is nice ! Its ambiance is modern and casual. You have options of indoor and outdoor seating which to me is also a plus ! Prices a bit more than other similar places but not too too bad. read more

A very welcoming and spacious atmosphere, with plenty of seating. They also have outdoor seating. I was with my 7 months old daughter, and it was easy to bring the stroller and to find space to dine in. They didn't have a baby changer in the restrooms, but there was a storage cabinet in on the restrooms that worked as a baby changer. The service was warm and friendly! Parking is right behind the restaurant. I had the Thai noodle salad, ground sirloin kabob, babaganoush, and tomato soup. Everything tasted fresh and was seasoned well. The salad portion was generous, and the kabob portion was decent. I loved the fluffy, cloud like garlic sauce that came with the kabob. I would definitely go back to try their pastries and drinks! read more

Very yummy quality food also very expensive lol. Buttt I do think it was worth the price. The chicken was so juicy, the rice flavorful, even the side Greek salad had a lot of flavor to it which I enjoyed. Their lavender lemonade was delicious also and free refills! Also they have those viral mousse fruit desserts, expensive but delicious! Service was pretty good it's an order yourself place. They do bring the food to you, along with your drinks, etc which is nice, they were overall super helpful for our first time there! Inside is pretty big and nice looking inside. they have a good amount of options for seating. You do have to sit yourself so that may get complicated if they are busy. The only thing I did not enjoy was the parking, it was awful. Super super small parking lot in the back, barely able to fit in the spots, difficult to pull in and even more difficult to get out without it taking forever so you don't hit someone else's car. Only other option it seemed like was street meter parking. Maybe it's the typical in this area and I'm just a newbie but this was pretty bad lol. Overall though I do want to come back to try more of their food! read more

Swung by here for a quick dinner and was pleasantly surprised by the high quality food they have. I got their chicken kabob plate.

This place is casual and a little in the trendy side. Comfortable seating options inside and outside. Order at the counter and they bring your food to you. Really friendly staff. I had the filet mignon skewer with salad and rice. A little pricey for what it was, but the quality is undeniable. My meat was tender and flavorful, salad was fresh. Their desserts looked amazing, but I was too full to order one. Next time, for sure! read more

Really glad they have a menu with allergy labels. Not all the staff were familiar with the menu but one in particular appeared to be confident. I went with the filet mignon plate with salad and no dressing, no pita (obviously) or any dairy. This way, if I didn't feel well, I would know it's from the meat. Their meat was cooked perfectly, tender, juicy and and flavored well. I wish I had asked for olive oil and a lemon wedge to flavor my salad. Although I enjoyed it, I didn't feel full enough for paying $25 for that. Maybe I'd ask for suggestion to replace the pita next time. I ended up feeling great so that plate is gfdf. Plenty of seating, pretty pastries and wine options (that I didn't try). Would return. read more

I recently dropped in for a quick lunch. Instantly was won over by Sotta. The atmosphere is really laid back and casual. The staff are welcoming and really take care of their customers. The food is outstanding and delicious. I went with their chicken kabob plate. For what you get, it's a bit on the pricier side, but well worth it. The chicken is succulent and tender, and bursting with flavor. A+ all around. read more

What a lovely place to spend a bit of my day! There is great indoor seating and outdoor seating! The staff are accommodating and welcoming. They have gluten-free options. Everything was freshly prepared - the salads were cold, the soup was hot, the Chicken Shawarma moist. The rice had the perfect texture- not rubbery or day old. The sauces for each item were perfectly spiced. Would I come back - yes please. And the WiFi - reliable! (Eating alone today so did a bit of work & reading). read more

Parking is a little tight in the back, I came to meet some colleagues around 8pm, and I ended up parking in the street. The restaurant is cute with a wide variety of things to choose from. We tried the Greek grape leaves and I must say they were FANTASTIC. I'm very particular of my grape leaves dishes and this dish was perfect! We also tried the hummus, and chicken plate. Everything was very flavorful and delicious. I also tried the Passion Fruit Lemonade, and WOW, it was so delicious. I loved that the lemonade didn't taste too sugary, and not too sour either. It was just perfect. In addition, there is wifi that you can log into, so my colleagues and I were able to get some work done during our meet up! I would definitely come back to try more of the food choices and to get another lemonade!!! read more

We found this place back in February when I was in the hospital and needed something fresh and actually healthy because the hospital food just wasn't cutting it. This ended up being a lifesaver. The Mediterranean chicken salad became my go-to right away. Everything is always super fresh, good quality, and consistently delicious. You can really taste the difference. It's now our go-to for Mediterranean salads and chicken. I usually stick to that salad, but today I tried the BBQ salad with filet mignon and wow... new obsession. Both are amazing, just different vibes. My fiance odded caramelized salmon to the Caesar salad and loved it. Their Caesar is great on its own, but the salmon takes it up a notch. * Staff is always really nice * Coffee is great the lavender latte is a favorite * Guava lemonade is so good * Prices are fair for the quality * Easy parking in the back and some in front we've never had an issue * Clean restrooms for customers We have another Mediterranean place closer to home that we love, but this one is next level. Totally worth the drive. Definitely recommend. read more

Mother's Day: the holiday where we express our gratitude for all the mothers, fur baby moms and those guiding posts in our lives who behave like moms with flowers, cards, relaxation and love. While a simple 'thank you' often suffices; even better with is a meal to warm a mom's belly! Whether this is a fancy affair or something made with love is up to the mom in question. This is how Sotta came into my life on Mother's Day when celebrating a lovely mother who adores Sotta alongside her sons (I have never been) and all she wanted was a Sotta dinner. Sotta is a Mediterranean kitchen located on Alameda in Burbank close to the Buena Vista intersection and St. Joseph's hospital.  Owned by Mike and Arman (they also have a small sister-café in Los Feliz on Vermont, "Sidewalk Café") with free parking located adjacent to the building; Sotta serves up traditional Medi fare such as kabobs, pita wraps, salads, sides alongside wine/alcohol and pastries and coffee. So, what makes Sotta stand out among the similar over-saturated LA restaurants? Sotta uses an open flame grill and wood-fire oven to truly elevate their flavors and dishes and this comes across the second patrons taste the food but without insanely breaking your budget. Sotta is very welcoming with an indoor and outdoor dining area with wood trim and tables, high ceilings, exposed beams and an airy, open concept with an order counter before finding seating. Our party of four entered a very busy Mother's Day crowd around 6pm (Sotta only accepts reservations starting with parties of five). A small spa water station sits by the door as you wait in line to place your order. Everyone in our party decided to order plates "from the grill" with one or two sides that also come with salad or rice. I went with the Filet Mignon skewer with one side ($23) choosing salad over rice and dolma (grape leaves) as my side. The rest of my party chose Lamb Chops ($23 with one side) with various sides such as lentil soup, hummus, and sautéed mushrooms. Two members of the party also ordered Arnold Palmers to drink. This is where the waiting game began because it seemed to take FOREVER for Sotta to deliver our food. Granted, again, it was a holiday and busy but it still seemed a bit long to me and I was hungry after getting over a flu and not having really eaten in days! First to arrive was the celebrated mother's lentil soup which arrived cold and she had to ask for it to be warmed up. How are you going to deliver cold soup to a guest? It's SOUP! Another weird customer service moment was the female associate calling over to our table from the counter asking if the drinks have been served versus coming to ask/check. It was very uncomfortable and obtrusive even if minor. When the dinner finally arrived; I was very pleased to see large servings with colorful, fresh ingredients. You eat with your eyes, first, and I ate these plate up visually. Did the flavors deliver as well as the plating? YES! My filet mignon was perfect, tasty and tender and perfectly accented with the garlic paste. The salad dressing for the salad was so heavenly that I could have taken a pail of it home to bathe in and the dolma was fantastic which I am usually very picky with because I had a college best friend from Palestine whose grandmother made the BEST dolma. I tasted the Lamb Loin chops which were also very tender and lovely with a semi-sweet glaze. Everything was absolutely wonderful (and better than Sidewalk Grill although the sister café is great, too). The food was worth the wait (I cleaned every crumb off my plate) and the mother was pleased. What can I really add to Sotta's Yelp presence when it already rides high with over 1k reviews and high ratings? Sotta isn't perfect but it is darn close and holds up to the hype being a must-try for Mediterranean lovers in the Burbank area. read more

Mediterranean food with a modern twist. Everything about this place is modern - or minimal - the decor, the service, the whole ambiance of it. You order as you come in on the counter, they give you a number, you pick a table and display your number. I ordered their chicken gyro plate, comes with a salad, rice and a side which I chose babaganoush (eggplant) - the chicken gyro looked nothing like a gyro - I think they gave me the wrong thing - but anyway, the chicken was tasty, so I didn't complain, because honestly I thought they were just being different. My friend had ground beef sirloin, which she loved and a chicken kabob. I also ordered a few falafels just to taste and that was good. You want dessert? You have to stand up and go to the counter and look and pay for it there. Their banana cheese cake is surprisingly good and so was their fresh fruit tart. There's parking at the back if you can't find on the street. read more

This place is awesome!, no complaints!, food is very good, service is kind and courteous...

Let me begin with their salads because their salads look amazing and I wish I had gone in that direction instead. My sister in law got their seasonal pomegranate salad and it was huge and looked amazing with tons of chicken, she loved it. I got their salmon plate with rice and a side salad. I didn't realize I could swap out the rice for dolmas, if I had known, I would have gone with the dolmas 100%. Unfortunately the plate fell really short for me. I used to work around 3 great Mediterranean restaurants and I live 3 streets over from an amazing Mediterranean place so I am spoiled with really high quality Mediterranean food. Unfortunately the salmon plate I had today doesn't stack up to the level I'm used to. The rice was well cooked but very bland, I'm used to true saffron rice. The side salad was a very basic side salad. The salmon was cooked well and it was a generous portion of salmon! But even the garlic sauce wasn't as strong as I like. Overall I could see this being a healthy lunch option, but it was pretty pricey. With tip included, my salmon plate was $30. The restaurant itself is beautiful, really well designed. You order at the counter, and get a number and pick your own table. The service was great, everyone was nice and helpful. We were able to find street parking, but I could see street parking being an issue on busier days. read more

I would give this a 3.5 rating. We stopped by for lunch. I ordered the chicken shawarma plate that comes with 2 sides. The chicken was dark meat and had a grey brown sauce that gave the chicken the shawarma flavor. I order the Greek salad and fries as the sides, plus extra pita. Not sure if I ever got the extra pita. Nothing really stood out as, "Ooh I need to come back for ___." The best food item I had were the fries. I also ordered a guava lemonade, a little disappointment that it was 2 squirts of a guava syrup. Service was friendly and quick. Restaurant was cleaned and the bathrooms were big. The place was packed during lunch time. read more

Sotta is a gem! I can't believe I hadn't tried this place until now. Their chicken gyro wrap is so flavorful and has a heaping amount of chicken. It's a good portion size, even without adding a side. You order first at the register before sitting, and the food is brought out to you. Their bakery items are worth trying also. I had the lemon bar and chocolate chip cookie. I preferred the lemon bar, as the cookie didn't taste as fresh. It's not loud inside, and there's a nice patio outside as well. read more

The book club I belong to had our monthly dinner and meeting at Sotta last weekend. With their delicious food, relaxed atmosphere, and great service, it was the perfect location for our meeting. With a group of 6-8 of us we particularly like that we're able to order individually at the counter so we don't have to figure out splitting the bill. Don't let the "order at the counter" thing fool you though, this isn't fast food or food court quality food, not by any means, this is restaurant quality food for sure. And the desserts....don't even get me started. Yum! read more

Sotta is always highly recommended by others, but I have to be brutally honest! I love my Mediterranean food to be heavily seasoned and flavored. The chicken was flavorful but it was lacking the umph! The price point for this restaurant is around the same for other Mediterranean spots in the valley.we paid $53 for two plates and a side of hummus. The sides were good, I had the Greek salad and grilled vegetables. The plate overall was good but there is places nearby that are more flavorful. read more

Yum! Delicious food! The chicken was cooked so well. I got the chicken wrap with babaganoush and sweet potato fries! The sides were sooo good! Fresh baba! The chicken was cooked perfectly and I am very picky with how I like my meat cooked. I ate half the wrap and ate the other half the next day! Still delicious! The plate looked good too with fresh veggies! Also, the desserts! Omfg!! Mouthwatering good!! How do you pick?? I took home 3. Oatmeal cookie, Boston cream pie and strawberry cobbler. I'm still thinking of these desserts. So good and not processed tasting. Not too sweet. I wish I lived closer! I'd go here all the time. Service was good and the cashier was helpful with suggestions! read more

Visited this place during our break from clinicals. Street parking available, and I think there's some spots in the back too. Interior is cool and rustic. I really loved their mirror on the side with that vintage feel. Way to order: Go to the counter and order, then they will give you a number for the table. They also have a dessert display, and they all looked yummy! They have a full espresso/barista set up too, and their coffee is pretty good. I'll give it a 7.5/10 The food was good, fresh ingredients and we had both the beef koobideh and the filet mignon. Utensils, napkins and straw were on the table in a lazy susan type of thing (idk what its called) Price starts at about $18-30 The filet mignon was cooked very nicely, and the rice was cooked perfectly. The koobideh was juicy and it tasted really good. I just didn't notice any sumac around the table so I completely forgot about it, and usually that's a great enhancement to this type of dish I had the quinoa tabbouleh, I just wish it was more sour. All in all the staff and the dining was good, not too many people so the food came in pretty early. Their desserts are okay, I had the banana cheesecake, and my friend had the tiramisu, i'd say I expected more, but it was good enough to finish the meal. I'll probably try other dishes next time! read more

Salmon wrap and chicken schwarma wrap is delicious but messy to eat. Need extra napkins! The Chicken Gyro came in a pita vice tortilla. Very good. Side of fries with ketchup hit the spot.

Fresh Mediterranean flavors, generous portions, and friendly service made this a satisfying spot for a casual lunch or dinner outing.

We came to Sotta for a late lunch on the weekend and the restaurant was not too busy. There was almost no line to order (you place the order at the counter, get a number and they bring the order to your table). The wait for the food once the order was placed was relatively long in my opinion but nothing excessive. I was not too hungry so I just had a Lentil Soup which I didn't care for as it was too watery and plain. The lentil was also still too hard in my opinion. Would not reorder that item. For drinks, I got the cold Passionfruit Matcha which was pretty tasty. Forgot to take pictures of the food/drink, however. The restaurant is cute and clean. I may come back but try different food items. read more

Ambiance: beautiful, modern, chique,clique, picturesque, clean, bright with lots of natural sunlight (very instagrammable) love the decor Parking: very small lot in the back, quite confusing as the driveway is shared with the doctor's office Service: Was not pressured to order while I was reviewing the menu on the side of the line. Cashier had a bright smile, was patient with my order even when I made a last minute change. Ice water was self-service as I waited for my order. I was told it would take 15 minutes, which it came in a timely manner. Food: The chicken kabob wrap was refreshing and packed with greens. The chicken breast itself was moist and flavorful, but slightly more salty than desired (perhaps due to the brining?). Sauces were washed out from the moistness of the vegetables. Not sure if I'm correct but the pita bread tasted most storebought rather than made on-site. Babaganoush was too subtle in flavor for me, not a huge fan of the sumac. The sweet potato fries tasted average, was not crispy. The dessert averaged to about $5 each. There is a large variety so I tried a classic dessert and a Christmas themed dessert. The cheesecake is smooth, but tasted quite generic. The snowball tasted more like just yellow cake with coconut shaving, I did not taste the raspberry layer in between even though I can clearly see it. Overall, at the price point of $20, it was a decent amount of food but admittedly the food was average. read more

My only complaint is that at 9pm on a Friday evening, closing time, the lights came up and I felt they did everything in their non-verbal powers to rush us out. We arrived at 8, the food was a little slow coming out of the kitchen which we would have been fine with if we had been given the time to comfortably finish our meal. We might have even gone back to get dessert!! We otherwise like the place (it was my second visit), but don't see ourselves going back. read more

We throughly enjoyed our meal at SOTTA. After landing into Burbank airport we found this highly rated restaurant on Yelp. Being celiac having a menu that is clearly coded is my only option these days. They had plenty of gluten free options. We parked behind the building. There was limited space but we did find a spot. The service was great. Everyone was super nice and informative. We ended up eating outside. They had plenty of seating inside and outside. The food was really fresh and tasty. The chicken kabobs were so tender and yummy. Prices were in line with portions. They had some really good looking drinks on the menu. We will definitely be back. read more

Great place in Burbank very close to the Griffith park with lovely ambiance. Had come with kids and had nice wraps - chicken shawarma wrap and salmon wrap - meat was stuffed with extremely fresh veggies . We felt plates would be have been more better as the wraps got little soggy so maybe for next time . Tomato soup was the best, my son loved it. We had the cardamom latte which was which was so good and the place got crowded in early evening as we left. Must try Mediterranean place in Burbank!! read more
