There were no sauces or additional flavors, and the chicken was dry and overcooked. I felt like I could have enjoyed a similar or even better dish at a typical diner for a much lower price. To top it off, I was taken aback when I saw I was charged $6 for a bottle of water.

Fresh and cooked perfectly tried their salad as well very good and will definitely be back to try more of their menu.

However, when I entered, I found it completely empty, which should have raised some concerns. The menu was not very extensive or impressive given the high prices. To top it off, I discovered that my credit card was overcharged. This experience was a real eye-opener, and I won’t be going back. I recommend double-checking your bank statements after dining here.

The service was also the same. Maybe bc the restaurant was empty except for us. Free parking is available along the store front. The waitress had a very strong BO that was unpleasant.

The lamb was extremely over cooked and not cut properly which probably was why it was also extremely difficult to chew and it had absolutely zero seasoning. Also do not absolutely do not under any circumstances get the calamari it's dreadful.

We ordered two dinners totaling around $85, but the presentation was disappointing and the taste even worse. My boyfriend is Albanian and I am American Greek, so we were excited to try Sofra since it advertises Greek and Albanian cuisine. Sadly, we were both very let down. If you're looking for good Middle Eastern dishes, I recommend Cakor on Belmont Ave, Gurra Cafe, Cka ka Quello, and for takeout, Balkan Place on Lydig. For authentic Greek food with great service and atmosphere, head to Astoria, Queens.

The wine pour was a bit disappointing, but the wine itself was good. I’d give five stars if not for the small pour, but everything else was wonderful. My friend and I had an amazing time. The noise level was comfortable, and the service was excellent. She enjoyed the Albanian burger, and I had the gyro—both were incredibly tasty with generous portions. I’m definitely going back.

The restaurant was surprisingly quiet, especially for a Saturday night. Nonetheless, the food was outstanding, as always! I started with grilled calamari and a glass of Pinot. For my main dish, I had the branzino with a side of lemon potatoes and a salad. It was truly delicious! The prices are quite reasonable given the quality of the food. I can’t wait for my next visit, where I plan to try one of their pasta dishes.

When I walked in, I noticed that it was empty, which should have been a red flag for me. The menu was quite limited and basic, especially given the prices they were charging. To make matters worse, I realized they overcharged me. This experience has definitely opened my eyes, and I won't be returning. Be sure to double-check your bank statements a few days later!

There was no sauce or seasoning, and the chicken was dry and overcooked. I could have easily found a similar dish, or possibly even a better one, at a typical diner for half the price. Additionally, I was charged $6 for a glass of water.
