My daughter's 11th birthday, a wonderful evening with delicious food and great service. We ate there three times during our 9 days in London and it was excellent every time!

Its ok for some basic food i guess but is quite over priced for what it is youre certainly paying for location. The Turkish wine and the bread are really good i must say! Staff arent great, apart from the 2 who i assume are the owners. The rest of the staff dont seem to understand a word of English. Not bad, not great, its ok.

The food was very average and I wouldn’t wholeheartedly say it was very fresh. The water was tepid we had to ask for ice and despite several frantic waiters dashing about, you can only place your order through the manager. There is a service charge and you get a bland complimentary hummus and bread which was quite liquid and oily. My friend has the chicken and rice and I had the lamb/beef mince wrap that was drenched in sauce and quite limp salad. The chips were quite disappointing as they build them as being exquisite on the menu! Would we return, probably not it’s more aimed at the clientele that live locally.

In my opinion, it is not the old table. The food and service has gone down a lot. The place I have been coming to for years is Sofra, but this time it was in the classroom. While waiting for the bill, 4 people at the table drank the tea, 2 people drank the tea, I left it behind. Why do you charge 4 people to pay for the tea? Anyway, Mr. Ozer, Sofra is Turkish hospitality in London. It used to show, but the place has changed over time...

Located in the heart of Mayfair, Sofra is a fantastic Turkish restaurant with delicious dishes and attentive service. The menu offers a wide variety of options, including Turkish and Lebanese specialties. While some dishes could be improved, the overall dining experience is enjoyable. Customers appreciate the generous portions and complimentary offerings like bread and Turkish tea. The ambience is cheerful and the location is convenient. Whether for breakfast or dinner, Sofra is a must-visit spot in London. Reservations are not always necessary, as even walk-ins can enjoy a great meal in this bustling area. Cheers!.

I am a favorite place in both breakfast and dinner. For those who don’t know, the table becomes a long queue in one of the most famous londra restaurants, this is not very common. As people like domestic bread queues successfully represent Turkish cuisine, they look at a big money on the table. The prices are worth when there is a bit high. Flavor:5, quality/price:5/5

I stopped by and made a reservation at this restaurant because it looked nice, although the person taking my booking seemed to give me a judgmental look as if to assess my ability to afford it. However, when I returned at the reserved time, I was seated at a nice table among other diners who were already eating. The menu was good and we easily chose our dishes. The neighboring tables did not seem very friendly, probably because many of them were wealthy locals. The food was very good and the staff was attentive. The wine was a bit pricey for my taste, but considering the location in Mayfair, it was to be expected. Conveniently located near the Hilton, this restaurant saved us from having to trek into the West End for dinner.

On a chilly evening, I was out with my two-year-old son. The waiter insisted that we sit outside, but I explained that I couldn't because of my young child.

We had a great experience at this local spot in Mayfair with fantastic service. The area is lively and perfect for when the weather is less than ideal. This was our second visit and the food was consistently good. Cheers!

The worst service ever experienced in over 50 years.While seated one of the staff managers were screaming constantly.When we placed the order we waited more than 15 minutes while other tables arrived after had their food served.When the food arrived 2 were missing items and one was wrong.We asked the waiter 3 times before the missing items arrived by which time we had nearly finished the meal. When the bill was presented we asked for the service charge (opitional) to be removed as both the service and attention had been poor.The manager/owner was so rude and direct we then said he was going to charge for the complimentary bread!! I lost it.He should not be in the industry and I am escalating the matter to the westminsiter council as he was fooling people I am not a tourist as many where I live here.

We walked into what we thought was a lovely establishment, but left speechless about the exorbitant prices. Honestly, I’m not sure how this level of robbery is even legal. We ordered 3 starters for 10 pounds each and received what appeared to be a sample size of food… Not to mention we were charged 5 pounds for a coke! If the restaurant made up for the prices in its other aspects this would be (somewhat) justified, but the service from some people was questionable. One of the servers was quite distasteful and although no rude comments were directly said, his expressions and body language was enough. We ordered little as we were not too hungry, and while ordering I felt like he pierced my soul with his eyes and was almost pressured to order more than I wanted. Their food was okay, so if you’re looking for a solid Mediterranean place it isn’t too bad, unless you expect basic customer service. Food: 4 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 4
