Food was one of the best Mediterranean meals we've had! Ordered the filet mignon side of babaganoush and quinoa taubleh. Best we've had! Service is fast and clean. Service is friendly atmosphere is clean ambiance is serene. Busy people talking but overall it was fantastic. Looking at the dessert display with much variety to choose from. Yummy we will order dessert looks terrific! read more

Sorta used to be one of my go-to places, especially since it's within walking distance of my house. Unfortunately, my last two orders have been noticeably different from the quality and portions I had received in the past, and yesterday's order was especially disappointing. I ordered chicken breast, and the portions were surprisingly inconsistent. One piece was a reasonable size, while the other was significantly smaller and did not feel like a proper portion. The biggest disappointment was the Caesar salad with salmon. It came with only two very small pieces of salmon--approximately 1.5 ounces total. Honestly, even my cat would have been disappointed with that portion! It genuinely looked like they were down to their last small piece of salmon and divided it between the salad. As someone who is Persian and grew up eating this type of food regularly, I'm very familiar with the flavors, quality, and portions I would expect. Unfortunately, the food this time was well below average, both in taste and value. I would rate the taste about 2/10. It's especially disappointing because I previously enjoyed ordering from Sorta and appreciated having a convenient neighborhood option so close to home. But after two disappointing experiences in a row, I can't justify the price for the portions and quality I received. Sadly, I don't see myself returning. It's very sad that u spend 77$ for lunch for two and not be satisfied read more

HOT VANILLA LATTE MADE BY GIGI. INSANE. DESERVES A REWARD. 10/10. We ate here to grab a quick lunch and I needed my caffeine fix after. Debated on going to a different care but sooo glad I didn't. Not only was it one of the best lattes I've had in a hot min, she also had it ready in under 5 minutes. It was so good I had to call them to give Gigi her praise. For the food, we love their chicken kabab!! So juicy, flavorful, and a very generous serving. :) read more

Wednesday, noon, July 22, 2026 Busy asf at lunch hour. Suggest avoiding noon time lunch rush (1:30 seemed like a good time, several tables were open by the time we were ready to go). The pick up line was loco (Seemed like 15-20 peeps in line)! It took about ten minutes for a table to vacate and another ten to wipe down. Food came out 30 minutes later. Kinda weird that the salad entree came out last after the two meat platters. It is very loud in the dining room. So many diners talking! There was no follow-up at our table. I guess it's semi-full service? It's order first at the cashier and then they serve at the table with your assigned table number. I studied the menu the night before and forgot to get extra meat with my plate! Oh well, next time. Best place to park is across the street or in the adjacent neighborhood. No problem finding a spot. Beware of street sweeping on certain days, look at the signs. read more

A very welcoming and spacious atmosphere, with plenty of seating. They also have outdoor seating. I was with my 7 months old daughter, and it was easy to bring the stroller and to find space to dine in. They didn't have a baby changer in the restrooms, but there was a storage cabinet in on the restrooms that worked as a baby changer. The service was warm and friendly! Parking is right behind the restaurant. I had the Thai noodle salad, ground sirloin kabob, babaganoush, and tomato soup. Everything tasted fresh and was seasoned well. The salad portion was generous, and the kabob portion was decent. I loved the fluffy, cloud like garlic sauce that came with the kabob. I would definitely go back to try their pastries and drinks! read more

Three of us had dinner here on June 5th... the food was excellent and the prices amazing. large portions & so very fresh... Service was friendly & very helpful. Ambience was modern... We ordered chicken kebab plate, various vegetarian sides, & the lule (sirloin) kebob... The desserts looked to die for, but we were being good & passed, besides, we were too full to eat dessert anyway. We are definitely going back (this coming Friday for lunch) read more

I went to Crimson in Santa Monica and I loved their chicken shawarma wrap. I live in the Valley and was craving another wrap and Sotta was only a couple of miles away so I had to try it. Their chicken shawarma wrap was just okay, but not nearly as good as Crimson's. I expected fresh cucumbers and pickled turnips, however I didn't expect pickled cucumbers (LIKE DILL PICKLES!) inside the wrap. There were way too many pickles and it overpowered everything so I had to pick them out. It could've also used more garlic aioli. The wrap was dry and I'm not even sure they remembered to put it in. read more

Sotta - This was less than half of the pickles that I finally started picking out from my Chicken Shawarma Wrap. - Mediterranean Near Me - Burbank, California

Very yummy quality food also very expensive lol. Buttt I do think it was worth the price. The chicken was so juicy, the rice flavorful, even the side Greek salad had a lot of flavor to it which I enjoyed. Their lavender lemonade was delicious also and free refills! Also they have those viral mousse fruit desserts, expensive but delicious! Service was pretty good it's an order yourself place. They do bring the food to you, along with your drinks, etc which is nice, they were overall super helpful for our first time there! Inside is pretty big and nice looking inside. they have a good amount of options for seating. You do have to sit yourself so that may get complicated if they are busy. The only thing I did not enjoy was the parking, it was awful. Super super small parking lot in the back, barely able to fit in the spots, difficult to pull in and even more difficult to get out without it taking forever so you don't hit someone else's car. Only other option it seemed like was street meter parking. Maybe it's the typical in this area and I'm just a newbie but this was pretty bad lol. Overall though I do want to come back to try more of their food! read more

This review is long overdue. My family and I have been coming here regularly for around a year, and it has truly become our home away from home. Whether it's a quick weekday lunch or a relaxed weekend dinner, this is always the place we look forward to. Of course, the food is consistently delicious, but what really keeps us coming back is the amazing team. Nikki, Helen, and Lauren make every visit feel special. They always greet us with genuine warmth and kindness, making us feel more like family than customers. Their hospitality and the care they put into every interaction never go unnoticed, and it's one of the biggest reasons this place means so much to us. And if you're a coffee lover, be sure to ask Nikki or Helen to make it. They make the best coffee, and you can tell they put the same care and attention into every cup as they do with every guest they serve. Thank you to the entire team for creating such a welcoming place. It's rare to find a restaurant where the food is excellent and the people make you feel so valued. We can't recommend this place enough. read more

First time here and we will definitely come back! Wasn't able to get photos because we gobbled the food down. Love that they have lite entrees, main entrees, dessert, coffee bar, alcoholic drinks and specialty non alcoholic drinks. Really all in one kinda place. Had the chicken kabob and a guava lemonade. It was amazing. Good portions and the meat was flavorful and tender. There's a white Garlic sauce that pairs really good with the meat. Fast service and good ambience to hang out. read more

Swung by here for a quick dinner and was pleasantly surprised by the high quality food they have. I got their chicken kabob plate. Their chicken nice and juicy and their garlic sauce felt very light - almost like a whipped sauce. It's a casual cafe and would love to come try their brunch/ breakfast items some time. read more

This place is casual and a little in the trendy side. Comfortable seating options inside and outside. Order at the counter and they bring your food to you. Really friendly staff.

Their desserts looked amazing, but I was too full to order one. Next time, for sure! read more

Really glad they have a menu with allergy labels. Not all the staff were familiar with the menu but one in particular appeared to be confident. I went with the filet mignon plate with salad and no dressing, no pita (obviously) or any dairy. This way, if I didn't feel well, I would know it's from the meat. Their meat was cooked perfectly, tender, juicy and and flavored well. I wish I had asked for olive oil and a lemon wedge to flavor my salad. Although I enjoyed it, I didn't feel full enough for paying $25 for that. Maybe I'd ask for suggestion to replace the pita next time. I ended up feeling great so that plate is gfdf. Plenty of seating, pretty pastries and wine options (that I didn't try). Would return. read more

Parking is a little tight in the back, I came to meet some colleagues around 8pm, and I ended up parking in the street. The restaurant is cute with a wide variety of things to choose from. We tried the Greek grape leaves and I must say they were FANTASTIC. I'm very particular of my grape leaves dishes and this dish was perfect! We also tried the hummus, and chicken plate. Everything was very flavorful and delicious. I also tried the Passion Fruit Lemonade, and WOW, it was so delicious. I loved that the lemonade didn't taste too sugary, and not too sour either. It was just perfect. In addition, there is wifi that you can log into, so my colleagues and I were able to get some work done during our meet up! I would definitely come back to try more of the food choices and to get another lemonade!!! read more

What a lovely place to spend a bit of my day! There is great indoor seating and outdoor seating! The staff are accommodating and welcoming. They have gluten-free options. Everything was freshly prepared - the salads were cold, the soup was hot, the Chicken Shawarma moist. The rice had the perfect texture- not rubbery or day old. The sauces for each item were perfectly spiced. Would I come back - yes please. And the WiFi - reliable! (Eating alone today so did a bit of work & reading). read more

Sotta - White meat boneless chicken kebab + chicken gyro platter - Mediterranean Near Me - Burbank, California

Mediterranean food with a modern twist. Everything about this place is modern - or minimal - the decor, the service, the whole ambiance of it. You order as you come in on the counter, they give you a number, you pick a table and display your number. I ordered their chicken gyro plate, comes with a salad, rice and a side which I chose babaganoush (eggplant) - the chicken gyro looked nothing like a gyro - I think they gave me the wrong thing - but anyway, the chicken was tasty, so I didn't complain, because honestly I thought they were just being different. My friend had ground beef sirloin, which she loved and a chicken kabob. I also ordered a few falafels just to taste and that was good. You want dessert? You have to stand up and go to the counter and look and pay for it there. Their banana cheese cake is surprisingly good and so was their fresh fruit tart. There's parking at the back if you can't find on the street. read more

Mother's Day: the holiday where we express our gratitude for all the mothers, fur baby moms and those guiding posts in our lives who behave like moms with flowers, cards, relaxation and love. While a simple 'thank you' often suffices; even better with is a meal to warm a mom's belly! Whether this is a fancy affair or something made with love is up to the mom in question. This is how Sotta came into my life on Mother's Day when celebrating a lovely mother who adores Sotta alongside her sons (I have never been) and all she wanted was a Sotta dinner. Sotta is a Mediterranean kitchen located on Alameda in Burbank close to the Buena Vista intersection and St. Joseph's hospital.  Owned by Mike and Arman (they also have a small sister-café in Los Feliz on Vermont, "Sidewalk Café") with free parking located adjacent to the building; Sotta serves up traditional Medi fare such as kabobs, pita wraps, salads, sides alongside wine/alcohol and pastries and coffee. So, what makes Sotta stand out among the similar over-saturated LA restaurants? Sotta uses an open flame grill and wood-fire oven to truly elevate their flavors and dishes and this comes across the second patrons taste the food but without insanely breaking your budget. Sotta is very welcoming with an indoor and outdoor dining area with wood trim and tables, high ceilings, exposed beams and an airy, open concept with an order counter before finding seating. Our party of four entered a very busy Mother's Day crowd around 6pm (Sotta only accepts reservations starting with parties of five). A small spa water station sits by the door as you wait in line to place your order. Everyone in our party decided to order plates "from the grill" with one or two sides that also come with salad or rice. I went with the Filet Mignon skewer with one side ($23) choosing salad over rice and dolma (grape leaves) as my side. The rest of my party chose Lamb Chops ($23 with one side) with various sides such as lentil soup, hummus, and sautéed mushrooms. Two members of the party also ordered Arnold Palmers to drink. This is where the waiting game began because it seemed to take FOREVER for Sotta to deliver our food. Granted, again, it was a holiday and busy but it still seemed a bit long to me and I was hungry after getting over a flu and not having really eaten in days! First to arrive was the celebrated mother's lentil soup which arrived cold and she had to ask for it to be warmed up. How are you going to deliver cold soup to a guest? It's SOUP! Another weird customer service moment was the female associate calling over to our table from the counter asking if the drinks have been served versus coming to ask/check. It was very uncomfortable and obtrusive even if minor. When the dinner finally arrived; I was very pleased to see large servings with colorful, fresh ingredients. You eat with your eyes, first, and I ate these plate up visually. Did the flavors deliver as well as the plating? YES! My filet mignon was perfect, tasty and tender and perfectly accented with the garlic paste. The salad dressing for the salad was so heavenly that I could have taken a pail of it home to bathe in and the dolma was fantastic which I am usually very picky with because I had a college best friend from Palestine whose grandmother made the BEST dolma. I tasted the Lamb Loin chops which were also very tender and lovely with a semi-sweet glaze. Everything was absolutely wonderful (and better than Sidewalk Grill although the sister café is great, too). The food was worth the wait (I cleaned every crumb off my plate) and the mother was pleased. What can I really add to Sotta's Yelp presence when it already rides high with over 1k reviews and high ratings? Sotta isn't perfect but it is darn close and holds up to the hype being a must-try for Mediterranean lovers in the Burbank area. read more

We found this place back in February when I was in the hospital and needed something fresh and actually healthy because the hospital food just wasn't cutting it. This ended up being a lifesaver. The Mediterranean chicken salad became my go-to right away. Everything is always super fresh, good quality, and consistently delicious. You can really taste the difference. It's now our go-to for Mediterranean salads and chicken. I usually stick to that salad, but today I tried the BBQ salad with filet mignon and wow... new obsession. Both are amazing, just different vibes. My fiance odded caramelized salmon to the Caesar salad and loved it. Their Caesar is great on its own, but the salmon takes it up a notch. * Staff is always really nice * Coffee is great the lavender latte is a favorite * Guava lemonade is so good * Prices are fair for the quality * Easy parking in the back and some in front we've never had an issue * Clean restrooms for customers We have another Mediterranean place closer to home that we love, but this one is next level. Totally worth the drive. Definitely recommend. read more

Let me begin with their salads because their salads look amazing and I wish I had gone in that direction instead. My sister in law got their seasonal pomegranate salad and it was huge and looked amazing with tons of chicken, she loved it. I got their salmon plate with rice and a side salad. I didn't realize I could swap out the rice for dolmas, if I had known, I would have gone with the dolmas 100%. Unfortunately the plate fell really short for me. I used to work around 3 great Mediterranean restaurants and I live 3 streets over from an amazing Mediterranean place so I am spoiled with really high quality Mediterranean food. Unfortunately the salmon plate I had today doesn't stack up to the level I'm used to. The rice was well cooked but very bland, I'm used to true saffron rice. The side salad was a very basic side salad. The salmon was cooked well and it was a generous portion of salmon! But even the garlic sauce wasn't as strong as I like. Overall I could see this being a healthy lunch option, but it was pretty pricey. With tip included, my salmon plate was $30. The restaurant itself is beautiful, really well designed. You order at the counter, and get a number and pick your own table. The service was great, everyone was nice and helpful. We were able to find street parking, but I could see street parking being an issue on busier days. read more

I recently dropped in for a quick lunch. Instantly was won over by Sotta. The atmosphere is really laid back and casual. The staff are welcoming and really take care of their customers. The food is outstanding and delicious. I went with their chicken kabob plate. For what you get, it's a bit on the pricier side, but well worth it. The chicken is succulent and tender, and bursting with flavor. A+ all around. read more

I would give this a 3.5 rating. We stopped by for lunch. I ordered the chicken shawarma plate that comes with 2 sides. The chicken was dark meat and had a grey brown sauce that gave the chicken the shawarma flavor. I order the Greek salad and fries as the sides, plus extra pita. Not sure if I ever got the extra pita. Nothing really stood out as, "Ooh I need to come back for ___." The best food item I had were the fries. I also ordered a guava lemonade, a little disappointment that it was 2 squirts of a guava syrup. Service was friendly and quick. Restaurant was cleaned and the bathrooms were big. The place was packed during lunch time. read more

The book club I belong to had our monthly dinner and meeting at Sotta last weekend. With their delicious food, relaxed atmosphere, and great service, it was the perfect location for our meeting. With a group of 6-8 of us we particularly like that we're able to order individually at the counter so we don't have to figure out splitting the bill. Don't let the "order at the counter" thing fool you though, this isn't fast food or food court quality food, not by any means, this is restaurant quality food for sure. And the desserts....don't even get me started. Yum! read more

Sotta is always highly recommended by others, but I have to be brutally honest! I love my Mediterranean food to be heavily seasoned and flavored. The chicken was flavorful but it was lacking the umph! The price point for this restaurant is around the same for other Mediterranean spots in the valley.we paid $53 for two plates and a side of hummus. The sides were good, I had the Greek salad and grilled vegetables. The plate overall was good but there is places nearby that are more flavorful. read more

The plate looked good too with fresh veggies! Also, the desserts! Omfg!! Mouthwatering good!! How do you pick?? I took home 3. Oatmeal cookie, Boston cream pie and strawberry cobbler.

Visited this place during our break from clinicals. Street parking available, and I think there's some spots in the back too. Interior is cool and rustic. I really loved their mirror on the side with that vintage feel. Way to order: Go to the counter and order, then they will give you a number for the table. They also have a dessert display, and they all looked yummy! They have a full espresso/barista set up too, and their coffee is pretty good. I'll give it a 7.5/10 The food was good, fresh ingredients and we had both the beef koobideh and the filet mignon. Utensils, napkins and straw were on the table in a lazy susan type of thing (idk what its called) Price starts at about $18-30 The filet mignon was cooked very nicely, and the rice was cooked perfectly. The koobideh was juicy and it tasted really good. I just didn't notice any sumac around the table so I completely forgot about it, and usually that's a great enhancement to this type of dish I had the quinoa tabbouleh, I just wish it was more sour. All in all the staff and the dining was good, not too many people so the food came in pretty early. Their desserts are okay, I had the banana cheesecake, and my friend had the tiramisu, i'd say I expected more, but it was good enough to finish the meal. I'll probably try other dishes next time! read more

First of all the service is okay for what it is. The staff come and check on you once in a while. The food was sub-mediocre. The chicken kabob tasted off, the grilled veggies were burnt and taste of lamb. The vinaigrette was wayyyyyy too acidic. And the Thai chicken wrap somehow tasted like cleaning chemical. If the food was better, I would have loved this place. The portion was okay and fairly good price. Unfortunately, I will not be returning to this establishment. read more
