    Casual Mediterranean place where you order at the front and your order is brought out to you. I had the bbq chicken wrap with lentil soup and pasta salad. I need to try their pastries and other items on the menu. Such a filling and delicious meal. I will be back.

    Visiting my sister in Burbank. The Food at Sotta is good and tastes fresh. Service was quick! Staff is nice ! Its ambiance is modern and casual. You have options of indoor and outdoor seating which to me is also a plus ! Prices a bit more than other similar places but not too too bad.

    Thai Noodle Salad w/ chicken
    U-chin J.

    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!

    Tomato soup 8/10

    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!

    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.

    Filet Mignon Skewer
    Ella F.

    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. I had the filet mignon skewer with salad and rice. A little pricey for what it was, but the quality is undeniable. My meat was tender and flavorful, salad was fresh. Their desserts looked amazing, but I was too full to order one. Next time, for sure!

    Lentil Soup
    Elizabeth P.

    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).

    Great fresh food and flavors. I had the kale salad with sirloin and my hubby had the Thai chicken wrap and we shared fries. Really wanted dessert but, we're too full. Staff was great too Will be back if ever in the area.

    Cesar salad with salmon
    Gina O.

    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.

    Filet Mignon plate w/salad and 1 side (grape leaves)

    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.

Too much unworthy food! Pictures and reviews from others suggested it would be good, but nope! I've ate at lots of other restaurants of similar, and nothing is like this, rather bland and uneventful. The chicken shish kebab was dry, and not much flavor. The pork ribs were decent. The ribeye steak was not the best. Considering that they state they use Harris Ranch, man I expected a great steak! Uneven cook on it too. I ordered a side onion, wth did they give me, a burnt onion?! Their sumac onions were not made right! Throwing some seasoning on some onions does not make it sumac onions! Things that were right? The roasted tomato, the roasted jalapeño. Possibly the hummus, as I quite liked the consistency and flavor. Wished the food was better. I don't understand their rating. Located right next to the popular and famous Paradise Bakery too.

The soltani kabob was to die for; the flavors in the beef barg and koobideh were so rich and cooked to perfection. The mastery of these dishes was absolutely on display. The mast moosir was a great creamy and savory side dish to complement the entrees. I HAD to get the tahdig (crispy rice) too! I also had a bit of the lamb shank which was really flavorful, tender, and paired perfectly with the baghali polo. The yogurt soda was a bit of an acquired taste for me, but I'm happy to have tried it for the full experience. We finished off our delicious meal with a floral and sweet Persian ice cream wafer sandwich. The portions were enormous, so we left feeling full with leftovers to look forward to! We came on a lively weekday evening. They don't do reservations, but we were warmly greeted and quickly seated with lavash and butter on our table immediately. The restaurant has a beautiful and romantic atmosphere, with hybrid indoor/outdoor courtyard dining. Our waiter was attentive and made us feel very welcomed. I'd give this restaurant more than 5 stars if I could!
