My expectations have been met plus ..I wanted my husband to take me back and love me and everything started working out after 3 days using [hidden link] it’s like we’ve finally rediscovered those things about each other that made us fall in love in the first place. All of the worrying and stress has simply vanished

The gyro was so dry it immediately made me choke (literally, my mom had to give me back blows) and the “oven baked chicken” tasted like it had been frozen for weeks and looked NOTHING like the picture online. (See attached images of what was advertised vs what was received. Again, i’m not a picky eater but the food was just straight up nasty. The flavor of the gyro was comparable to that of a school’s breakfast patty. The chicken was stringy and dry, barely tasted like meat at all. The peta bread was also, well — dry. Everything was dry and bland. The rice was also half-cooked and noticeably chewy with a strange vinegar-like flavor. The chickpeas also tasted old. The ONE thing I liked was the tzatziki sauce, which I put on almost everything to try and cover up the dryness — to no avail. I don’t know if it was just a rough night in the kitchen but i was honestly very disappointed because I’ve heard good things about Sofra. I can’t say i’ll be ordering from here again. Tasted like two-week old leftovers.

I don't even normally like cucumber and tomato but they changed my mind with this, delicious! The second time I went in, while I was waiting for my food, the lady working there brought me a free cup of Turkish Tea. Super kinda people. Food: 5

(Gyro meat w/tomato sauce,rice and yogurt) a traditional Turkish dish I was told. Very tender and delicious. But I actually went to try the kunefe. And WOW!! Maybe the best desert i have ever had. Will for sure be back. Two people could easily share a meal and Kunefe. Service: Dine in

The staff come out of the kitchen to greet you and sit you at a table. Everything is made fresh so it takes a while to get the food but it is all worth it. We had the gyro plate and the meatballs, both were excellent. I loved that the meatballs came cooked with peppers and onions in the tomato sauce with it. The homemade bread made the dish even better. The gyro plate was also excellent, cooked and seasoned perfectly. The portions are good, you will not leave hungry. After dinner we had the Turkish Tea. This is the best and most authentic Turkish tea I have had outside of Turkey. Overall an excellent restaurant that I recommend everyone try!
