Hands down, best Turkish Cuisine in town. a bit pricey but large portions and super tasty. we barely ate half of our dishes. Lentil soup is out of this world! the chef is turkish and he was down to earth and answered all our questions. I would definitely come back to eat here the turkish tea at the end was really nice gesture! read more

Sofra - Mediterranean Near Me - Lake Worth, Florida

I believe I came in at around 5:00 p.m., and immediately expected it to be a two or three star place. Sort of cozy layout, but the place was DEAD. Ordered a couple of platters with a variety of meats and hummus and things like that. I was concerned since I didn't hear any sort of pots and pans banging or sizzles or smells from meats cooking, so that brought back what I thought was going to be a terrible rating. When the food came the place had filled up a little more so that made me feel a little more comfortable with the whole experience. The food was thankfully hot (didn't hear anything going on in the kitchen), actually tasted amazing, and nothing bad to say about it. More employees showed up down towards 5:45 p.m. and things got moving a lot better. I would recommend this place for around 6:15-6:30 p.m. check-in since it seems a little bit suspicious before that. ONE LAST THING: The food very low-key seems microwaved. NOT accusing, but it definitely seemed that way. Maybe not 100% quality on everything here, but pretty authentic and unique dishes and flavors! read more

We enjoy the diversity of the menu so much that we had our house warming party catered by Sofra's. It was a home-run (no trash cans were harmed). From the time we entered Sofra's we were greeted and assisted by the Chef. Everyone and I mean everyone raved about the freshness and flavor of the food---the chicken and beef kabobs were a hit! The staff was so helpful having everything ready for our group of 25. Timing is everything----and they took so much pressure off our shoulders. And we have some delicious leftovers!!! Can not wait to sink my teeth into these goodies. To everyone at Sofra: Thank you for making our first party a success. Can not wait to dine in and enjoy the rest of your choices. read more

We finally decided to give this a try. I have been hoping to find some good Mediterranean style food locally and definitely found a good nearby spot. The place: It feels upscale casual. The lighting and decor are very nice. We were there a while and during that whole time the music was perfect level and it was very nice Mediterranean music. Parking: All of us walked here but as far as parking goes I don't think they have their own. There is alot of street parking nearby normally. The food:AWESOME I will write about each one we tried.. Appetizers: -Falafel:Very tasty and cooked beautifully. It is served with tzatziki. I would definitely have it again -Calamari: I tasted one and wish I had ordered a whole plate to myself. Maybe even for a whole meal. It was alot....the batter was very light and the calamari itself was fresh. Again,cooked beautifully. The meals: -Lentil soup:very surprising..It is normally chunky but it seems that the lentils are pureed. The flavor was bold in a good way. One of the better restaurant lentil soups I have ever tried - Lemon Chicken soup: everyone that had it finished it all and enjoyed it -Beef gyro platter: My hubby and I personally had the beef gyro platter (I think but I will get into that later) It was excellent! I was a little nervous to order Bulgur as a side because it is hard to make it nicely however, I am ssooo happy I did. It was very good and packed with flavor. Also, had a nice texture and not dry -chicken kabob,panini, and chicken parmigiana is what our other friends had. They all really enjoyed it. Everyone's portion was alot. Almost all of us had to have to go boxes. Customer service: This is what brought it down a star for me. The waiter was ok but he really did not seem like he wanted to be there and got a bit snappy with me once. There were 2 other guys that brought food out to us and I thought they were very nice and friendly. It was weird because there were only 3 or 4 other tables with guests besides ours so it wasn't busy but we definitely felt like a nuisance to him being there. I say he was ok maybe just having a bad day?? 3 of us were served and waited almost 10 minutes for the others to be served. No one mentioned that it would take a little longer. We thought maybe they forgot...when it got there ours had cooled down but it was still tasty. Overall i would eat the food again. Maybe give the service a second try read more

Amazing food. My girlfriend is from the Middle East and she says the food is just like home.

My mom and I are really exploring food places the last month, so we checked out Sofra. We particularly eat a lot of Mediterranean food, so my mom had to try it out. Let's just say the food was incredibly delicious. For appetizers, we had the shrimp saganaki. It was very flavorful, fresh, and well-seasoned. What a way to start out our meal. For entrees, my mom had the chicken kebab wrap with fries and I had the Iskandar. The Iskandar costed $22 so I was concerned that it was going to be small portioned, but it wasn't. The Iskandar was a large portion and you are served with rice and salad. Basically, don't let the price scare you because in the end it is all worth it. The portion size and price is reasonable. Let alone the food was just absolutely delicious, high-quality, and fresh. The salad was different, reasonably dressed, and fresh. The bulgur rice was well-seasoned and actually really good. Honestly, the food alone is the 5 stars. Absolute must place for the food especially if you are trying Turkish food for the first time. As for service, it was decent. It is clear that they are a bit understaffed, which we had no issues with. I think one of their staff might be new because they made a few mistakes here and there. Don't let that rub you off the wrong way and be patient for anyone who visits. Either way, they try their best to provide the best service. With that being said, my mom loved this place, and I think we are ranking this as one of the best Mediterranean restaurants out there. We will be returning for sure! read more

Sofra - Grilled ground lamb with salad and rice - Mediterranean Near Me - Lake Worth, Florida

Sofra was exceptional. The ingredients were fresh and homemade, the server was knowledgeable, and the restaurant cozy and comfortable. We tried the hummas, octopus, lamb kebobs and lamb shank, as well as mixed plate appetizer and dessert. Everything was so very good we went back again, and Sofra will be the first place we stop when we return to Lake Worth. The owner was friendly-we could tell just chatting with him that he was passionate about the dishes he prepares and dedicated to pleasing his customers. You must go to Sofra! read more

What an awsome meal for my wife and I on a special date. We like diversity and ordered the Mixed Appetite Platter that comes with 5 different foods, greek style pita bread and taziki sauce. We also ordered the grilled octopus, which was moist, tender and cooked just right. To top it off we had yummy Carrot Cake for desert. Everything was delicious and we had lots of leftovers. ;0) Yes, this is a real review by a customer. read more

I want soooooo badly to give Sofra 5 stars!! The food is exceptional, I'm vegan and I live in LWB so options are limited. We got the falafel pita and a small pizza with eggplant and garlic - they both were not only tasty yummy but visually yummy too! My lack of star comes from the extreme disappointment with plastic bags and styrofoam containers. Pleeeeeease, I beg of you Sofra, if I am to frequent you as I hope to (because the food and options are outstanding).....please find more eco-friendly vessels. read more

Sofra - I just can't eat anymore today. - Mediterranean Near Me - Lake Worth, Florida

Great new Turkish and Italian restaurant in Lake Worth. There is something for everyone on their Extensive menu We stuck with traditional Mediterranean dishes and salads. The fresh made hummus and hot eggplant dish were both excellent. Our favorite was their octopus appetizer, so tender and perfectly seasoned on a bed of tabouli and arugula. The falafels were good but we found the tahini sauce was a little thick, a little more salt and lemon solved it. Others in our party ordered salads. Generous sized servings filled with lots of extras, such as artichoke hearts. The chef/owner and server were both attentive. Prices a very reasonable. I would easily be a regular if we lived down there. read more

Delicious Mediterranean food in a charming restaurant. I had a meeting in Lake Worth so I checked out Yelp for suggestions and this popped up. This restaurant us located on the corner of Lake Avenue and Federal Highway and there is parking along the street. There is seating inside and outside. The appetizer sanpler was a great choice at $14. It had tzatziki, hummus, tabbouleh, stuffed grape leaves, white bean salad, and eggplant with tomato sauce. Everything was really yummy! It was so much food, I didn't order an entree and still had food leftover. Service was really good with frequent refills of drinks and more warm pita was brought around. My friend had the beef skewers which she enjoyed but also took home. Thia is a great place to share a few dishes. Sorry we didn't try the desserts but maybe next time. I will be back again and look forward to tryimg some other options. read more

A Christmas Miracle! After a magical South Florida Christmas, we were trekking back to Orlando when we decided to make a pit stop and see if any restaurants were open on Christmas Day. While exploring the area, we happened to drive by Sofra and saw people outside (signs of life on a day when most businesses are closed!) and immediately made our way inside. We had an extremely sweet waitress who took excellent care of us. The food was amazing. The olive oil on the hummus was so fresh and tasted like it was squeezed from the olives in the back. The phyllo rolls were so fresh and tasty. The falafel was crunchy on the outside but extremely moist on the inside. Basically perfect. Especially with tzatziki sauce all over everything. We had an extremely pleasant mini-meal before heading on the road again! We wouldn't hesitate to come back again when we are down in South Florida. read more

Amazing food! We started with the lentil soup and falafel which were both great! My husband ordered the adana kebab, pictured below, and he really loved it, which is saying a lot since he is Turkish and very judgmental when it comes to Turkish food. I got the vegetable casserole with bulgar. often times veggies and rice are plain but this was super flavorful. The portions are huge and we ended up taking alot home. read more

Had their pita and it was good and fresh and the chicken was well seasoned and tasty. Comes with fries which is a RARITY these days. Most places of this caliber charge extra for any side. Tzatziki sauce is great and I didn't have to ask for any on the side which again, was greatly appreciated. Staff were friendly and informative. Will definitely be going back! read more

Worth a try. Very authentic food and large portions. Service very friendly. Would recommend read more

The day after Thanksgiving the foot traffic was sparse on this late night but this did not stop the staff from delivering stellar service. We stopped here for the vegetarian selections and they did not disappoint. The food was fresh and flavorful. The desserts were a bonus surprise as I was not expecting such a moist carrot cake and tasty chocolate cake. read more

Flavorful, hot (temperature) and obviously made with love. Chef/owner Taner could not be more welcoming. His love of the food is evident. Be sure to come hungry because there are so many great Mediterranean choices. It's an amazing value, too. The portions are sizable but the prices are very reasonable. Staff treats you like family. It's a great date spot or a quick lunchtime takeout. I predict that in season you will have trouble getting a table! read more

Exceptional Turkish Mediterranean food with an owner who takes great care of his customers. We were warmly welcomed to our outdoor table ( there is a nice interior dining room) right on Lake Ave. Our party of 4 enjoyed everything we ordered. Entrees come with soup and salad and portions are plentiful. Each dish was beautifully presented and delicious. This is a must try destination in the heart of Lake Worth.

Absolutely the best Turkish/ Mediterranean food we have ever tried! Super fresh ingredients in everything we tried. While visiting Lake Worth from NYC we found this gem, the chef/owner truly cares about the place and customers. We returned and had lunch which was great as well, we tried sandwiches, salad and a soup. Again, everything was very tasty and fresh. Can't recommend this place enough. Can't wait to go back and dine there again. read more

I ordered a Falafel Pita and lentil soup. The soap came with a wedge of lemon and I squeezed it into the soap. That was delicious! The lentil soup had a smooth liquid texture and was tasty. It was served with triangles of soft warm pita bread. The falafel were moist in the inside and crunch on the outside. Yummy! The tea has a soft taste, kind of lemonish and black tea too! Baklava was Sooo good! Tender, moist and great taste. Never had Baklava like this one before. read more

Restaurant was dead but I have been wanting to try based on decent reviews. We were greeted by a new waitress. She was sweet and told us she was new, just started today, but was very accommodating. She took our order and suddenly this very rude gentleman appeared with her in tow and proceeded to berate her in front of us. In his broken English rambled on for about five minutes then stated 'well don't all Americans go to college before you start working? Can you not take the order correctly?' Which by the way she had. It was he who had the issue. My advice to the waitress....run! And my advice to the gentleman, practice more patience. It goes a long way here in America sir. It is bad form to embarrass someone on their first day for doing something for the first time. It is customary to have someone 'shadow' a new employee to be sure they assimilate to your expectation. Btw, food was just ok. Calamari was undercooked but the wrap was ok. Won't be back. read more
