This is a neat little restaurant in downtown Edmonton offering really good Turkish food. I had Adana and Turkish coffee. The meat was so nicely cooked, spicy enough and well marinated, coffee was good too. I did found the place quite expensive concerning quantity of food one gets as well as the location of the restaurant, but I will still... More

Last week I met with four other women for a dinner before Amaluna. The room is divided into different areas and levels - we had a lovely private table in a alcove which was very conducive to visiting. Our server was attentive and helpful. We shared two appetizers - grilled apricots and a spicy date dip with pita. Both were... More

Wonderful meal and experience at Sofra June 2. Great food, generous portions at reasonable prices. Wine list has something for all tastes and budget. Server was very helpful, engaging, and attentive. Two of us shared the Sultans Sofrasi...absolutely amazing dinner for 2! Includes appetizer, salad, and rice plus a grill sampler with rack of lamb, kabob chicken, kabob swordfish, beef... More

we visited Sofra last weekend party of 3. The owner was the host and not very friendly. The food was overpraised and it didn't taste anything like a Turkish meal. The swordfish had no taste the originals kebabs were perfect. Our server messed up our order and also 20' later she mixed the food on the table next to us.... More

My husband and I went on 19 March, the night before I had surgery. It was such a treat and the food was stunning and delicious. We had the Sultan Sofresi (it's a dish for 2 people) and it comes with stuffed grape leaves and pita and 3 types of hummus for the appetizer, then the main entree is salad... More

Had heard about Sofra initially from Trip Advisor, then from family who I sent as guinea pigs to try it out. All the glowing reviews made me realize it was time to try it out for myself, so I gathered up some friends and went down to this unassuming little restaurant tucked away on the edge of the warehouse district....

I had the best meal of my life tonight at Sofra!! I ordered the chicken kabob and my husband had the swordfish. Both were incredible, tender and juicy. Marinated and grilled to perfection! Best chicken or swordfish I've ever eaten! I ordered one of their martinis, but they were out of the juice they made it with, so the awesome... More

Have never been to Turkey so cannot tell you how authentic this place is. I had their Turkish equivalent of Shepherd's Pie. Kind of like a stew without any root veggies. Meat was tender and tasty and in good supply. My wife had a beef skewer which was also good. Nothing special about the bulgar. Salad had nice mixed and... More

I have been there a few times over the past year, and found it a very nice place for good food and conversation. Unlike many other overcrowded and excessively noisy restaurants – here you can talk normally, be heard and hear others. Waitresses are not bothering you every five minutes with “Are you still working?” and are not trying to... More

This is a small and very popular restaurant, so consider making reservations. We had tickets to the symphony and could only get reservations early, but that ended up being a blessing, as the food was excellent and less than two hours to dine would have been rushed. We started with a trio of dips with pita. The humus and ezme... More
