    Kunefe, cheesy goodness!!
    Kevin A.

    This new Turkish spot nestled on the East end of Waterbury is ! This is only the second day they've been open and I have to say, very authentic, classy and stylish. The servers that we had are very proper which is always appreciated.I love love love trying new spots! Sofra doesn't serve alcoholic beverages; HOWEVER, they were not opposed to BYOB!! Luckily, there's a package store 4 doors down in the same plaza! Can you say winning?! I can; !WINNING! The pepperoni and tenderloin flatbread is made from scratch. The crust is light and fluffy and also handmade. I'm impressed so far. I ordered the mixed grill. It has every meat they serve here on my plate and I'm not disappointed. Everything is just perfect, just perfect. There's a lot of food here, looks like I'm going to eat well tomorrow also. The Executive Chef /Owner came out to get some feedback. I love that! On to dessert... we ordered the Kunefe and the baclava... the Baclava was so light and flakey, just so goood! The Kunefe was also pretty it was buttery, a little crunchy, and cheesy! Not gonna lie, I'm a happy camper. My family and I will be back!! Thanks for a great first experience. This experience gets the highly coveted " MMMMMSK™"

    We came here Sunday night for dinner because my family came to visit; and we wanted to try out this restaurant. Very good variety of food. We all enjoyed our plates. Very filling. The appetizers were tasty also. We got the beet dip and haydar dip along with Albanian style liver and salad for appetizers. For entrees, we tried the chicken mix grill and the bifteki sis. For dessert, we got the pistachio baklava and kazandibi with turkish tea. It was a nice night. The restaurant is BYOB also.

    This place is very impressive! We walked in and it was a great smaller spot and very well decorated I loved the vibes there. The service was great as well they greeted us and they were really attentive when asking questions. We also enjoyed the food the kebabs/rice /salad and bread were all amazing . One of the best starter salads I've tried! Also I tried the manti and the portion is huge and it taste great.

    This place is fantastic. They have a huge variety of appetizers and main dishes to chose from. They also gave us fresh bread and salad on the house which were both delicious. I ordered a pide which was really good. My husband ordered a chicken dish which he liked. I also ordered a dessert called kunafe which was absolutely delicious. And they gave us tea to go with it. The service was exceptional which I don't say about every place. Place was clean and was cute inside. Definitely definitely recommend!

    This was our first time having Turkish cuisine and we are so impressed! Sofra is relatively new in Waterbury and is totally a hidden gem. We absolutely loved the presentation of the Sofra Platter, and all of the food was so delicious! One of my favorites was the chargrilled chicken melt, and I could eat the dips from the mixed appetizer all day. Everything seems super authentic! I will definitely be returning. Beautiful restaurant and attentive staff.

    My wife and I returned to Sofra this evening for dinner. The service ,atmosphere and quality of the food still remains outstanding!. I have attached some photos of the assortment of appetizers and entrées we had. For dessert, we had the mixed baklava of pistachio and walnuts. A must have! We will be back again.

    Don't bother coming without a reservation. We were just turned away. Super aggravating UPDATE- It seems you can't post being turned away. If you're actively looking at comments on YELP you should ACTIVELY post that you suggest reservations. We didn't expect to MAGICALLY BE SEATING- however I did expect MAGICALLY for the owner to demonstrate some respect and appreciation for a patron who travelled 45 min to eat at your restaurant. Yet another attack! Your public response is VERY DIFFERENT from the private one. Unprofessional, and petty Now I'm editing comments? On top of a being unprofessional, you're a liar. Fitting.

    Great ambience, amazing food and the service was spectacular. My family enjoyed lunch and would definitely recommend and bring them back. They also couldn't stop raving about how good the food was and can't wait to bring their family back to enjoy such an amazing experience. The first thing you notice immediately is the cleanliness of the place, which is a big deal for all of us. The salad so fresh the breads were so warm and the appetizers were out of this world. We did order the Sofra grill which came with so many different kinds of mixed grilled meats from chicken to lamb and beef kebabs, grilled peppers and rice which all tasted so delicious. Always a win for me! Thanks Sofra for the amazing experience!! The best!

    German Doner Kebab

    Absolutely fire doner kebabs. Best I've had in the area!…read more Came here last year when stopped by the mall and it really hit the spot. So naturally, had to check it out again this time and try it again. I don't know what it is, but well seasoned meat with their crispy fries just works. The original German doner kebab with the mixed beef and chicken was incredible. It was juicy, perfectly seasoned meat with that signature vertical spit char, loaded into their soft, flavorful handmade waffle-style bread. Every bite was a hit. Also ordered the chicken doner box with fries. The fries were very crispy and seasoned well and the chicken was just as I remembered it. A flavor bonanza. Rich, aromatic, and very delicious What was really the highlight was the sauces though. The garlic sauce was creamy and addictive, and the spicy one had just the right kick without overpowering everything. Portions are solid for the price. Everything felt fresh and hot, and the staff was super friendly and quick even during a busy mall rush. If you're at the American Dream or craving quality halal doner, this is the move. Way better than your average kebab spot. This is premium. Will definitely be back for the crispy doner rolls and maybe the Doner Burger next time.

    I was extremely excited to receive my first order ordered your original German doner, kebab…read morequite frankly, the bread was as hard as a roofing shingle impossible to bite into looks great with that waffle crust, but actually very dangerous for your teeth. Additionally, the fill was so mushy it was hard to discern the difference between the ingredients. It was one pile of slop your fries again look good. They were colder than my popsicles and tasteless. My overall experience a zero and I'm very disappointed. one would figure an international chain would have more control over their quality control. Let this be shout out to all you establishments who think they could charge high prices and deliver shi-tang.....
