Tonight we ordered a chicken kebab with a side order of garlic potatoes. Something we have ordered many times before. The chicken is usually substantial but not this time. I called Sofra and the person told me that if l had l ordered the double kebab it would have been larger. This is a ridicules response of course a double kebab is bigger and generally more food. The size of the one we received was extremely small from previous orders. Ordering one two or three kebabs should make no difference on the size of each individual serving. Her attitude was condescending and we wont be ordering from there again. read more

This place is amazing. One of my favourite Greek food places. The food is consistently delicious and fresh. The chicken skewers are juicy and tender and The rice is done to perfection. The staff were friendly and helpful. Will definitely be coming back! read more

Just what the doctor ordered... almost. This is an Israeli restaurant. For those not familiar with Israeli cuisine, it draws inspiration from of all the areas where the Jewish people live. As expected, there is a strong influence of middle eastern cuisine, but also some from Greek, Germany and even Eastern Europe. Case point: On the same menu, you will see shawarma, tzatziki, schnitzel and perogies. This might seem odd at first, but in actuality it all flows through very nicely. One of the high points of the menu is a wide array of cold appetizers. They are all dips meant to be eaten with warm pitas, and you can choose from the familiar hummus, to the more smokey fried eggplant. I highly recommend you start with your meal with some of these. Let's talk portions here. If you are not a super size eater, I strongly urge you to share your dishes. They are, quite simply, massive. One entree will easily feed two normal appetite people. They have a wide selection of proteins for the entrees. Beef skewer, chicken skewer, chicken shawarma, chicken schnitzel, beef kafta, salmon hot plate, tilapia and red snapper. Pork, as expected is absent. As the name suggests, the preferred method of cooking here is on the grill, which makes it quite healthy. Of course, you have the rotating pit, as well as frying if you want to be bad. Every entree is accompanied by a house salad and a choice of side: french fries, garlic home fries, baked potato, rice or a melody of steamed vegetables. If you are on a tight budget or a moderate appetite, you can have a pita sandwich variation; chicken skewer in a pita, schnitzel in a pita, etc. These things are only around $7 or $8 each and are as challenging as it is to finish a 12 inch sub due to the thickness of it. This restaurant has some very strong points. - It is a great choice for healthy eating. If you are responsible, you can have grilled chicken or baked salmon, with green salad and steamed vegetables. - They are very accommodating to vegetarians with an impressive selection. - Prices are more than reasonable for the quality and quantity of food that is served The service is usually very warm and friendly and each table receives a jug with water and lemon. The decor is nothing to write home about; think of it as a brighter and cleaner version of your usual diner. Parking is free and readily available, thanks to the super-sized parking lot. If your body is craving fresh clean food that is well prepared, Sofra Grill deserves a visit. read more

I shared a kefta kabob with one of my colleague, that came with one house salad and choice of side (we had vegetables). I ordered an extra side house salad with dressing (salad dressing is a must) and we both went out incredibly full! Everything was fresh, healthy (felt healthy... not too sure) and tasty. Also incredible service! They are wonderful, we had trouble ordering one side with our entree, but they recommended to get both at half the portion! I will be going there every weekend! Also try their seabass, grilled! It is amazing. Not to say their deep fried seabass is bad, I never tried it yet! read more

I been going to this restaurant for many years, the food is always good and tasty, the portions so nice and big. The staff is friendly and fast, always a good experience at Sofra, its been one of my favorite restaurant. Their schnitzel is so delicious and big, the whole menu is amazing!!! The dips always fresh and delicious. read more

I only had delivery so I can't comment on the service. Delivery was fast (about 40 minutes). The food was great. Very fresh, nicely cooked and spiced. Loved the meat sauce they serve with shush kebabs. Israeli salad was also very good. read more

First time I ordered here on the recommendation of a friend. I was very disappointed that none of the staff were wearing a mask and gloves. Sorry I will not be returned because of a lack of concern of the staff for COVID-19. read more

I am disappointed on the lack of masks used by the staff. I don't feel safe. I am sad I won't be able to order there again..

Went there for a work gathering. I had the vegetarian falafel with coleslaw and some salad on the side. It was rather dry and tasted pretty bland. Could not finish the entree. read more

Very nice Middle Eastern/Israeli food. The food is tasty and the portions are generous. The Shawarma on it's own is fantastic. The Shawarma on a plate of Humus is divine. Prices are reasonable. read more

One of my absolute favourite restaurants in York Region. Never had a bad meal. Food is always fresh and properly cooked. read more

Had the grilled chicken in a pita. Was really good. My friend's chicken salad looked great too. Great place for lunch. read more

I have been here a couple of times and I have no complaints about the food. I always get the chicken shawarma with hummus. So delicious. They definitely flavor their chicken nicely. The interior design is also nice. They also just added this electronic device on every table, where you can press a button for service, bill, and water. I always find them prompt with responding to that e-device. Pretty cool. read more

I've been dining at Sofra for many years now at their Vaughan (Dufferin) location. I must say, the restaurant itself (and the food) has never disappointed me. I typically order the Chicken Breast Salad, and at $15.95 for the large, it is enough to keep one stuffed (with some left over). You definitely get great value for what you pay for.. 4 succulent pieces of chicken breast atop a nice bed of lettuce and veggies. I particularly enjoy their homemade vinaigrette, which is not too sweet or salty, but perfectly compliments the other ingredients in the salad. In addition to the Chicken Breast Salad, which I typically order, I also enjoy Sofra's array of dips... Whether it be their homemade hummus, babaganoush, matbucha, or roasted eggplant... They're all equally delicious and a huge hit at BBQs, dinner parties, etc. Prices are reasonable. I like how they've renovated their location in recent years... Keeps things fresh and interesting. I will definitely be dining here again! read more

This place is amazing. Nice sit down or take out area. I had the chicken shwarma dinner with mix vegetables, the portion sizes are so big I ended up taking almost half with me. The chicken is crispy and juicy and the vegetables were all fresh. The hot sauce is pretty good too. Service is fast and friendly. Will definitely be returning more than once. read more

Sofram - Chicken shwarma dinner with mix vegetables. - Mediterranean Near Me - Thornhill, Ontario

We have been here twice - once for a dine in and another time for take out. For the dine in we had chicken souvlaki & hummus, with complimentary laafa breads. Food was delicious and chicken was moist but fully cooked- one of the best chickens I have had. For take out, we had the chicken wrap and lamb wrap. Both really good. Lamb is medium done, so let them know if u want a specific temperature. read more

I've been here quite a few times since my last review, so it's only fair that I update my review. The food is good, although they could improve on the consistency. Most often I get the rainbow trout, and it ranges from good to great. They have forgotten some of the spices a couple of times, but they shouldn't and I do remind them sometimes. I really enjoy the rainbow trout here and I get the baked (?) potato with garlic and its so good. We always get pita and dips (hummus, eggplant, etc. ) for the table, and that is always consistently great. They used to bring pickles and peppers for the table and you can still get the pickles, but they no longer carry the peppers. Service is good. Last time I was here there was a table next to me that was obnoxiously loud and I was super annoyed, lol. A table next to us even moved to avoid them.. nothing to do with the restaurant, just thought I would share that. I think people sometimes forget that the people they are with are sitting a foot away and can hear them just fine. Oh, last time I also got the cappuccino for the first time and I really enjoyed it. read more

Solid food and good portions try their hot sauce!

Come on guys , why would you do it for you clients extra for every drop of tahini . Cheap move . Front counter lady just terrible attitude.

Always love the food from this restaurant. Had an issue with our order last night for the first time. Called and they were very responsive, apologetic and remade the order. Fantastic customer service. Would not hesitate to order again and recommend completely! read more

This place is hands down one of my favorite shawarma restaurants. They serve fresh and delicious food. I've been coming here for years and I was never disappointed. Their chicken shawarma is juicy along with their skewers. Rich flavor and perfect seasoning. They used to be decent, I don't know what they did but they have really improved themselves after their renovations. This place gets really busy Thursday-Sunday, so if you want to dine-in make sure to reserve spots or come early. Their food is addicting and it's well worth the price. Dishes you must try: *Chicken shawarma in a laffa *Chicken schnitzel w/ garlic potatoes and Caesar salad *Chicken/lamb sewers read more

By far the tastiest shawarma I've had around town. Our favourite order is the shawarma hummus appetizer which comes with pita bread and is absolutely great to share ( or hog by myself)! Place is a little pricey, but they give a huge portion and you'll probably have enough for a left over meal. We always come here when in this area. read more

The 3 star review is accurate I think. I went in as it was close by and open until 10pm, visit of convenience I suppose. In an area with so many shawarma options, this is average at best and not worth a repeat visit. Enough said. read more

I don't understand the criticism. I have had numerous meals at the Dufferin and the Bathurst locations. Very consistent; the quality and the quantity are as good as it gets. The portions are more than ample. You have to be a big eater not to need a doggie bag. The service, whether on the phone or in person, is always polite, professional and helpful. I recently ordered for a Shiva dinner. Overwhelming: I told the lady how many people that there would be and she looked after everything. More than enough "plus". The chicken, the salmon, the salads and potatoes: everything was perfect. A successful dinner for a most unfortunate time. Next time, it will be a dinner just to celebrate anything! read more

Consistently increasing prices. Very small portions for take out vs eat in. Food is good but no value for what you pay for. Customer service does not care about complaints. read more

Three attended this restaurant. This was my first visit. I had the single skewer salmon with salad and garlic potatoes. Meal was very good and plentiful. Friends had lamb and beef skewers, and very enjoyable. Although prices are a little high for what we got; the pita bread was cold and not very fresh, the potatoes were not very garlicy, the atmosphere was very pleasant and the staff were very friendly and hospitable. Friend's meat skewers were very good; and other friend had the calamari, fried which she enjoyed. I would return. read more

First time. Was referred by a co-worker. I got take out only and ordered a falafel on laffa bread...unbelievable! I've only ever had falafels on pita bread. This was amazing, chewy, tasty and perfect for the wrap. One of the best falafels I've ever had. Love the separate area for take out. Ordered ahead even though it was one little (big) sandwich. Was ready, paid in a minute and was on my way. Awesome new lunch place for me! read more

Great place for the families! Good variety of choices for kids. Very nice and very kind personal.

Been going to sofra grill for a few months now for the chicken shawarma wrap. I think its by far the best in the area. If you're a fan of eggplant - its a great topping (optional of course) - beware the hot peppers - they are quite spicy so keep don't go crazy - and I'm a person who loves spicy food. Also the staff always seems nice. Never any issues. read more

This place is too loud and the food is average. I was expecting more , we went here for Friday lunch even though my friend recommended not to eat at Sofra, I check online and the reviews seemed alright so decided to give it a try. Fist of all, it took forever to get the food, I ordered the lunch special $11.95 of soup and sandwich and my friend the falafel pita for $5.95 and when we finally got it, the food was cold and the soup was horrible, I ended up not having any of it all. we both laughed it off as it was very loud in the dining room in which the tables are so close to one another you could practically participate in the next table conversation. Its like we were eating in a mess hall, whatever... Needless to say we didn't enjoy this place, I should have listened to my friend and picked another place in Thornhill. read more

Went into the take out area to order hummas (to go) and I was shocked at the attitude from the cashiers, especially the older woman with black hair. I used to really like this place and won't be returning anymore. read more

Meh meh meh... Everything tasted stale .. The laffas, the hummous, chicken ... Meh , meh,meh...... Don't the Persians and Israeli's realize it's the Greeks who dominate Mediterranean cuisine??? Forgetaboutit. read more

Terrible customer service. All 3 ladies working at the desk were not friendly and were extremely rude.

The food is really good , but it's too expensive for 3 meals I ended up paying $68 . But it was still worth it they have a really good take out section you can call and order ahead of time and your order will be ready when you get there and nothing is missing the staff are friendly as well read more

This place is a slightly above average middle eastern restaurant. The service, quality, price and the location are all very good but not a place that would blow you away. Very decent, safe option for a family dinner or lunch read more

Excellent food and atmosphere. A bit disappointed that the bing bing didn't work when I needed the server.

This location went from an all star to practically a . However, thanks to the quality trying to keep up with it's previous reputation - it's pretty clear that overall every part of the experience from ordering to the pickup, and finally to enjoy it was nothing more than standard procedure at this joint. The service doesn't feel as genuine as it did before.. it feels and looks like there's something about the establishment that we don't know about. I've noticed in general portion sizes have dropped 15 to 20% less.. the quality is still on par which is without a doubt why I fell inlove with this place. But overall prices have increased and my heart unfortunately sank.. from a place I used to love and bring all my friends and family to.. to a place I'd rather not even consider for take out. Sorry... what happened ‍ either way if you have nothing to compare it to.. you may just slip by and enjoy this restaurant for what it is. read more

Came here for take out lunch today for the first time, as I pass this place on my way home, thought i would give it a try. Ordered the lunch special of pita with salad. Took about 20 min to get my food but noticed they had a sign that because everything is made fresh that it would take about 20 min. Most of the take out seems to be people who called ahead and got it as soon as they arrived. Will definitely do that next time if I do lunch take out again. The pita I chose was the Kefta (ground lamb), which you have any choice of toppings. The pita was very filling and ended up not eating the Greek salad that comes with the combo. Next time (and yes there will be a next time) I will try the combo salad. read more

Sofra is back to being consistently good. It went through a stage where it was hit and miss but now we order take out almost weekly and the food is good (not great). The chicken kebabs used to be over cooked but not anymore - juicy and done just right. The breaded chicken is large and comes with a good dipping sauce. The hot sauce is good but does not last more than a few days so don't over order. read more

i think this is the best middle-eastern style food in the toronto area. the service is quick, and there are lots of places to sit. considering how busy this place can get (eat in, and take out), the kitchen is very efficient. the food is delicious. the portions are very large, and considering the amount of food you get, the prices are very reasonable. although the food can be a little heavy, it tastes great. read more
