    Very cute! I wanted some kabob and found that this place was only a few mins away. I've never loved this parking lot, it's very small and tight, however if need be, you can park at PT's and walk over. It's decorated very cute and I would def hang out inside for a meal. This time I did mobile order. The ordering system is through door dash and it gave me a few issues, but the order finally went through. My order was ready on pick up and the woman working was very friendly. I ordered the chicken kabob and a side of pita. Everything was very delicious and fresh. Good portions and good prices. I'm def looking forward to trying more items.

    I was looking for a new lunch place to try for my friend's birthday. This place had great reviews and we both love Mediterranean food. It is a small and cozy restaurant. There are a few tables outside that you can also sit at which are perfect for a morning espresso and a pastry. The food was made fresh to order. I ordered the Shawarma and my friend ordered the beef and chicken kabobs. We also ordered a couple pieces of the pistachio baklava for dessert. The pita bread that wrapped the Shawarma was fried until it was golden brown and it was crispy and so delicious! We were there for a couple hours as we were catching up with each other. We didn't feel rushed and it's tranquil inside. Even though this is far from my house, I will definitely be driving out here many times over the next year. I think I just found my new favorite place!

    This spot is one of those hidden gems & it's on Hulapai! Nothing around compares, the food & service are delightful. Handmade treats are delectable and fresh (I won't mention my favorite, because that's mine all mine lol). The food is all made to order, nothing just sitting and waiting for one of those reheats. I know, you know. Fresh, quality ingredients crafted into delightful and delectable dishes. Rita & staff have pride in the dishes and you will know at first bite! Ha! What will be your fav at Sofra try & find a favorite!

    Chicken Shawarma with fries and Tzatziki
    Michael L.

    I recently noticed this restaurant had opened right near my job and I love me some Mediterranean food so I was very excited to give it a try. I decided to place a pickup order on my way to work so I could have it during my lunch break The food was ready very quickly and was nicely packed up when I arrived. The restaurant is tastefully decorated and gave off a comfy feel. I could definitely see myself just relaxing in here trying one of their delicious looking desserts and sipping on some Turkish tea or coffee. I started with the hummus plate appetizer. A nice portion of fresh hummus with fluffy pita bread. Absolutely delicious! The chicken shawarma was next. I've seen a lot of places trying to do this recently as a new trend, but this place has obviously got it down perfect. The chicken was so savory and paired perfectly with tomatoes, pickles, onions and tzatziki sauce. It was grilled perfectly and crisp and was big and filling. It was served with a side of fries that are cooked in beef tallow. So crispy and such a delicious flavor! The tzatziki sauce is wonderful also for dipping both the shawarma and the fries and the pita bread too! In preparation for my next visit I wanted to give the steak a try also so I ordered a side skewer of the beef and some of the rice pilaf. The steak was seasoned well and was tender and juicy. It was skewered with some green peppers and onions also. The rice pilaf was a hefty amount and very flavorful too. My only regret is not getting dessert on this trip. I'm dying to try the baklava cheesecake and the baklava cannoli. I'll have to try both on my next trip to make up for missing out this time.

    Sofra Mix Grill

    Wow! I'm glad this great neighborhood Mediterranean spot opened! I love trying family owned restaurants, and this place did not disappoint. There was only one person working today, and I think she's the owner. Very friendly, and she had some good recommendations for the menu. I was impressed how efficient she was being the only person handling the front and kitchen. There were still people dining in, people coming in for their to go orders, and our food still came out pretty fast. The interior of this place is so cute and beautiful. The light neutral colors really pop, and all their tables are round, which is my preference for any restaurant I go to and great for groups. The chairs are also soft and super comfy as well. This place has a cafe vibe, but has some good offerings for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. We decided to come by for dinner. There are menus displayed on a screen above the kitchen and menus at the counter. You order your food at the counter. We got the feta fondue to start, gullash and sofra mix grill, and baklava ice cream. The feta fondue was amazing with the soft bread it comes with. My husband and I shared the Gullash and Sofra Mix Grill, and it was the perfect portion to share. I probably could've eaten the Sofra Mix Grill by myself if we didn't share the gullash. The meats that the Sofra Mix Grill came with was so flavorful, it was good with or without the tzatziki sauce it comes with. The gullash could use more flavor, but still good. Last, we had the baklava ice cream. The baklava ice cream comes as a shareable portion between two people, but next time I'm not sharing. This was probably one of the best ice creams I've ever had. I can come here just for the ice cream. Everything we had was amazing. We basically wiped our plates clean. I have to say this is now one of my favorite Mediterranean spots and I can't wait to go back!

    When I walked into Sofra Tavern, the first thing I noticed was how warm and welcoming it felt. The windows had these beautiful floral designs on them that immediately caught my eye and gave the place a really charming touch. Inside, the walls were painted in this soft burnt color that made the whole space feel cozy and relaxed. The tea was also so cute when it came out. It was one of those drinks that's basically made for an Instagram picture before you even take a sip. Everything just looked so pretty and thoughtfully presented. For dessert, the baklava ice cream was such a fun combination. It had this smooth, melty texture but still had that nice crunch from the baklava pieces. My absolute favorite though was the baklava cheesecake. It was rich, sweet, and had the perfect balance of creamy and crispy textures. Definitely something I'd go back for again. The main course that I totally forgot to mention was the chicken sharwanna (totally butchered the name) the wrap was good as well. The best part was that the fries were fried in beef tallow.

    Stunning fast-casual restaurant with friendly service. Why only 3 stars? Well, I ordered the waffle with blueberries & cream. The restaurant didn't have a waffle iron, so had to buy my order from next door (Alchemy). I literally saw a male staff walked in from next door with my waffle plate. The waffle wasn't freshly made; rather, It was one of those sweet Belgian waffle that are individually wrapped. How disappointing! I could have made my own breakfast with waffle iron from home.

    Feta fondue and Lamb Shawarma

    Excellent food ,very fresh! Clean restaurant. Great service. We had the feta fondue , lamb shawarma, and chicken kebobs. Everything was delicious. We'll return .

    Found Sofra Taverna on Yelp and decided to give it a try since it's only 10 minutes from home. We ordered the Qebapas with fluffy pita bread, kajmak, ajvar, onions, and cabbage, along with Turkish tea, coffee, and a shawarma wrap with fries to go. The food was delicious, fresh, and flavorful. The restaurant has a cozy atmosphere, and Rita was very friendly and welcoming. She confirmed that all the meats are halal except for the sujuk, which we appreciated. Service was swift! Sofra Taverna has only been open for about 4 months and is a great spot if you're looking to try something different. The desserts, including the baklava, looked amazing, but we were too full to try them this time. We'll definitely be back!

    Sofra Mixed Grill Plate
    Monse E.

    Tried this spot yesterday and couldn't have been happier with the experience. The food was absolutely delicious. We ordered the Sofra Mixed Grill, which offered a little bit of everything and was fresh, flavorful, and generously portioned. Paired with an appetizer, it easily served 2-3 people. We also ordered the hummus and pita bread appetizer, which was a definite highlight--10/10. The hummus was incredibly fresh and packed with flavor. Beyond the food, I loved how open and spacious the restaurant felt. Overall, I'm excited to have this new spot in the neighborhood and will definitely be back.

    Hummus dip appetizer
    Rulla A.

    So grateful that my husband found this cozy spot in Summerlin! We were blown away by the delicious food and welcoming service. We ordered the hummus dip appetizer to start which was so yummy. The bread that accompanied the dip was warm and fresh. For our mains, we went with the Sofrah Mix Grill and Gullash. Both options were phenomenal. We were literally scraping our plates to finish every last drop. Afterwards, we ordered a few different baklavas. All of them were crisp, tasty, and not overly sweet. My husband also loved the Turkish coffee! We are so excited to come back and enjoy more homemade Albanian food! Also - everything is halal which makes my Muslim heart happy. I hope that more people get to try this hidden gem!

    Truth be told was very skeptical going in since this spot was highly regarded and recommended by my cousin but had to try? Right off the bat loved the round tables and overall layout with corner booth tables. Decor was very modern with subtle Albanian/Turkish touches? Very welcoming and pleasant surprise for a small strip mall brick and mortar? Another delightful surprise was this is definitely Albanian or Balkan (Mediterranean) I've never experienced so had to look it up.... Albanian food is a rich blend of Mediterranean, Turkish, and Balkan influences, emphasizing fresh vegetables, olive oil, dairy, and grilled meats!! I had the Sofra mixed grill plate w/double salad and the beef kofta was ridiculously juicy moist tender and absolutely delicious!!! I could definitely have just a plate of that all day!! I also tried the Mediterranean burger and suggest everyone to try!!! Keep in mind the patty is an 80-20 combo of beef and lamb so very uncommon but absolutely should be added to every patty combo!!! Juicy lean tender and absolutely delicious!!! The hidden secret gem was the pickled house made slaw and the house made bread!!! Highly recommended!!! Staff were so patient, informative and attentive!! Please go support this local family owned and operated neighborhood business !!!

I ordered the Smoked Salmon Benedict with arugula and roasted tomato salad, and I'd give it an 8/10. The Benedict was a little salty for my taste, but thankfully, it didn't overpower the other flavors. The seasoning and hollandaise sauce complemented the dish really well. My father ordered the exact same thing and absolutely loved it. My mother went with the Mexican Avocado Toast, which she rated a 7.8/10. She also found it slightly salty, and the dish was a little cheesier and oilier than she preferred. Since she isn't a big fan of cheese, that affected her overall rating. However, she still enjoyed it enough to finish her meal. My wife ordered the Chicken & Waffle Mac, which was definitely an interesting and creative take on the classic chicken and waffles. Having macaroni incorporated into the waffle made the dish unique. The chicken was crispy and flavorful, and she gave it an 8/10. Thinking there wasn't any macaroni with her entrée, my wife also ordered a side of Cheesy Macaroni. She was pleasantly surprised by it and gave it a 9/10. It ended up being one of her favorite parts of the meal. Overall, Parlour Brunch and Late Night Burger Bar was a solid family dining experience with a comfortable atmosphere, creative dishes, and plenty of flavor.

    A friend recommended we stop here for breakfast or lunch on our way to Zion, Utah. We always make a…read morestop in Vegas to stock up on groceries and grab brunch before heading to Zion for camping. The food here is incredibly fresh and absolutely delicious - but they really need to step up their dishwashing and make sure the food is served hot. There's nothing worse than ordering coffee and seeing purple lipstick on the rim of your cup. It makes you want to leave right away. Then comes the inner debate - do you say something and risk being that customer, or just wipe it off and move on? On top of that, getting food that's supposed to be hot but arrives cold is frustrating. You sit there wishing you were at home where you could just microwave it - because the food is that good and would taste even better at the right temperature. Our experience wasn't helped by our waiter, who seemed disinterested after the lipstick incident (same guy mentioned in previous reviews that comes off rude AF/ agreed!). We didn't feel like asking for much after that. On the bright side, one of the waitresses was amazing - she looked like she was carrying the whole place. The chef clearly knows what she's doing because the food coming out of the kitchen was fantastic. That said, attention needs to be paid to cleanliness and serving hot food. There's no excuse for that. Despite these issues, I gave it five stars because the problems are fixable and don't take away from how incredible the food is. For reference, we visited on Friday, January 3rd, in the morning. There was a nearby parking structure and no wait time. The decor is a mix of farm-to-table and modern bistro - nothing overly exciting or disappointing. We were just looking for a good brunch spot, and this place is truly a hidden gem. Hopefully, they address the concerns we mentioned because it's worth coming back for! __________ To the Chef, Your food is incredible - truly Michelin-worthy. However, the staff is serving it cold and sometimes on dirty dishes. This isn't the first review mentioning these issues. Also, the tall white guy with grey hair was incredibly condescending and rude. Hospitality doesn't seem to be the right fit for him. It's disappointing to see someone like that representing the amazing work and love you pour into your dishes. On the flip side, the waitress with long brown hair was picking up the slack and holding the place together. She deserves recognition - maybe even a promotion. I hope you see this because if the team can consistently serve food hot and on clean dishware, this place could easily become the top brunch spot around. We appreciate your talent and hope this feedback is helpful! - Vee & Mike

It has a rustic, darker ambiance and not your usual bright and sunny brunch spots. The menu not too big, but offered enough varieties that we decided to try the biscuit and gravy as well as the corned bee hash. We also got house coffee and they were from mother ship coffee. Food came out quickly, but they were lukewarm and felt like it was already made and just put under a food light to be kept warm. The biscuit was good and soft, but the gravy was a little too salty. The corned beef came in a smaller portion than I expected, and the beef was diced too thin that they didn't have great texture and flavor. Coffee was good, but overall food was not as good as we'd expect. Service was average, the waitress was nice but didn't offer much service besides bringing out initial water and coffee over. No one really checked in on us after the food was served. I'd most likely not be back as there are many other brunch places in the downtown area to explore.

Bacon Nation slaps slices on just about everything but French toast, and even that can be topped with bacon butter and bacon-infused syrup. The build-your-own omelet is a worthy breakfast, stuffed with two veggies and two meats of your choice. Cheddar, diced onion, and two types of bacon inside three eggs was a winner. Be sure to get some thick bacon slices to go (mango habanero, maple glazed, honey-cured) - always nice to chew on during that nine hour Sunday evening drive back to SoCal. And unlike those anorexic slices that fast food places put on their burgers, you can actually taste this bacon. Open 7 a.m. to 2 p.m., they serve lunch too and if you're in 'growling stomach mode', try the Boarrito but be forewarned - this is a pork-fest of a monstrosity that's not designed for consumption by weight watchers or thoroughbred jockeys. A large tortilla filled with ham, sausage, bacon crumbles, pulled pork, guacamole, sour cream, and pico de gallo is then wrapped on the outside with countless slices of more bacon, smothered with cheese sauce and sour cream...now I need to take a nap just thinking about digesting it. It's a massive meal and I feel like the waitress could have positioned me on all fours in front of a feeding trough in order to graze on it. Bacon Nation is located on the D's second floor inside a very clean and bright dining room with lots of booths, a counter, and an ultra-pleasant hostess named Angel. In summary, a well-earned 5 oink review is deserving because their food is that darn good. "Everywhere there's lots of piggies, living piggy lives.
