This restaurant also offers dishes that you would typically find a turkish restaurant. In detail: I went to Sofra with a friend on a week day to have dinner. Only two other tables were occupied when we arrived, but then again it was very late at night and it was off-peak season. We were looking for a more affordable restaurant amongst all these very expensive restaurants in that area. We were kindly greeted and assigned a table outside. We ordered a bottle of water, the Manti, Bouyiourdi, Bekri Meze Chicken, Pastrami Saganaki and Stuffed Zucchini Flowers with Rice. We also got bread that we didn't order, but were charged for. It didn't cost much, but we would have preferred if we had been informed that the were going to be charged for the bread. So you definitely don't need to order so many dishes to get full. We obviously overordered, but finished everything. We especially enjoyed the manti, stuffed zucchini flowers with rice and the bekri meze, which was especially delicious. The chicken was nice, tender and moist and very well seasoned. The dish was served on a small table stove that was heated with jellied alcohol. Once the bekri meze chicken is served you should make sure to eat it as quickly as possible, because it still continues to cook on that stove and dries out the longer you take to finish it. We didn't enjoy the bouyiourdi or the pastrami saganaki as much as the other dishes, but these they were still fine. After finishing our food we were served a dessert for free. That on top of our dinner was a lot though. The prices for all dishes were affordable though in comparison to the restaurants that are not that far away, but closer to the beach, though it is not the most affordable restaurant on Kos. The service was friendly and polite.
