The food was very good. 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.

Wonderful, consistent food we ordered the Bronzino twice now and both times it was as delicious. Fresh and cooked perfectly tried their salad as well very good and will definitely be back to try more of their menu.

Absolutely LOVE this place! The lemon Potatoes the Hummus Tzatziki dip board are delicious! There is a great variety of salads as well. The Cabernet Sauvignon is also really good. I also recently discovered that they do have dessert if you ask. When I went with my family recently, our waitress, Julie, was very warm and personable. She made our experience all the more special. I definitely recommend coming here :

Very nice atmosphere with a cozy feeling. Wasn't very crowded when we went, but the service was prompt. Food was tasty too. Would recommend to others!

Wow! I love this place. The food was cooked to perfection, the salad was so good and the place is beautiful! The staff was so nice. Everything was freshly made. You have to try this place. Not many Greek and Albanian restaurants in the Bronx. Can't wait to go again.

Sofra offers a mixed dining experience characterized by an elegant atmosphere and the promise of Greek and Albanian cuisine. While some patrons rave about the flavorful dishes, like hummus and lemon potatoes, others express disappointment at the execution, citing overcooked proteins and a lack of seasoning. Service generally receives praise, contributing to the restaurant's appealing vibe. However, a few guests have noted issues with order accuracy and pricing transparency. Despite these inconsistencies, many believe Sofra remains a worthwhile visit, especially for those seeking a unique culinary experience in the Bronx, though careful menu selection is advised.

Honestly it's only 3 stars for that bomb a pita bread otherwise I'd give it a one. 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.

I randomly ordered food from this place on door dash.when I tasted the food I knew I had to go there. When I went. First of all the decor, the aura the reception 10/10 I really really recommend this place a special date. It's absolutely worth every penny.the food is insanely tasty and flavourful. I recommend that you try out thier hummus ?. Definitely coming back!!

The food we received was completely wrong, cold, and lacked flavor. 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.

I absolutely love Sofra! The lemon potatoes and hummus tzatziki dip board are delicious, and they offer a wonderful selection of salads. Their Cabernet Sauvignon is excellent as well. I recently found out they have desserts available upon request. During my recent visit with family, our waitress Julie was warm and personable, making the experience even more enjoyable. I highly recommend this place!

Absolutely fantastic—delicious food and completely satisfying. The prices were fair, the food was outstanding, and the atmosphere was perfect. 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.

I had heard positive things about this restaurant, so I thought, why not give it a try? 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!

The saganaki was tasty, but the chicken paidakia was just plain grilled chicken served with regular French fries and ketchup. 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.
