Sofra - Mayfair

The staff and restaurant are most welcoming in an idyllic location. The food was excellent and well priced with a choice of wines that catered for most methinks. One has frequented this restaurant several times and have never been disappointed. One comment being, it is best to book by telephone rather than via their website. 🙂

My visit to Sofra Turkish restaurant had its highlights, with flavorful food, but I was somewhat disappointed by the atmosphere and the limited menu. While the dishes I tried were enjoyable, I wished they offered a more authentic ambiance and a broader selection of traditional Turkish foods like manti and lahmacun to provide a fuller Turkish culinary experience.

This restaurant was my favorite restaurant during my 2 week trip to London, Venice and Italy. This exceeded my expectations. This is a Turkish Middle eastern restaurant in the Shepard market in London. We happened to be walking around this area as our hotel the Mayfair was right by it. The flavors were absolutely perfect! The right amount of salt, spices and warmth. I was super impressed. It was a very satisfying meal. The service was great. They were very attentive with water, drinks and clearing our plates. The gentlemen was very kind to suggest what I would like and he was spot on. I absolutely love this place. I highly recommend if you like savory dishes with flavor. The pictures of the food don’t do it justice as it literally one of the most satisfying meals I’ve ever had.

I am amazed with the quality and taste of food at this Turkish restaurant. The ambiance is just incredible and the staff are friendly and welcoming. I am definitely visiting again and highly recommend this place for some nice Turkish cuisine. I have tried the vegetarian Musakka, lamb iskandar and Lamb shish as well as the fish and chips dish for my 6 year-old niece. Every dish was a success!

The food was great, atmosphere also lovely, especially when you can dine alfresco. The service was poor - kept forgetting things, also weren’t especially welcoming, made it seem like they didn’t need our business, no smiles or friendliness - hoping we just caught them on an off day and that it’s not always like this. Portions were fairly small when compared with other establishments. Feel like there is a LOT on the menu (perhaps too much?!)

Very tasty food. I enjoyed Chicken liver appetisers. Very good customer service. I’d give 5 stars. Although I’m allergic to sesame and I notified the server. When I picked dish I asked if there’s any sesame. Gentlemen said it has none. Unfortunately it had sesame. It wasn’t pleasant surprise. Overall good restaurant.
