Yelp Community Experience:
SOFRA GRILL, South San Francisco.
First timer at SOFRA GRILL in SSF tucked away on Hazelwood, off El Camino Real. Sofra Grill is a small, neat, eatery cozily decorated with custom items from Turkey and Egypt offering Mediterranean Turkish appetizers, salads, wraps, and entrees, desserts with a unique focus on their speciality baked flatbreads, like Lahmacun, Zaatar, Muhammara, Kofta & Cheese, Sujuk & Cheese, Musakhan. Or go for the gold, SOFRA BREAD w/sesame & Nigella seeds! For Indoor dining there's five tables so make sure you get there early for the busy dinner hour. Fabiola was warm, welcoming and helpful with questions on the menu. Order takeout at the counter w/Fabiola on the left as you walk in or call in your order for pick up.
Parking on the street could be difficult but there's parking in the small mall across the street. Not sure if there's a time limit there.
Hours: T-W 11AM-9PM, Th 1PM-9PM, F-Su 11AM-9PM | Closed Mondays
Ordered for takeout:
GRILLED SALMON WRAP - herbs & garlic seasoned salmon w/tomatoes, Persian cucumbers, house made pickles, onions, garlic and house sauce. This delicious wrap divided into two nicely griddled wraps, could be shared between two light eaters but though deceptively small (not) it can be satisfying for a hearty eater as well. That said, wish there was a bit more salmon in there. The salmon was tasty! Would order this again for a quick meal or go for the STEAK or CHICKEN SHAWARMA next time! | Note: The wrap was compliments of Yelp & Sofra Grill for this event.
MEZE PLATTER - I always go for the Meze Platter because it's good sampling of delectable appetizers like FALAFEL, HUMMUS, MUHAMMURA, BABA GANOUSH, DOLMA, and LABNEH. The Meze Platter can be a meal on its own. Especially appreciated the freshly house baked pita bread!
SOFRA GRILL is a very nice find in the area for Turkish cuisine. You can see the love and care in the well thought out decor and the scrumptious menu by Chef-owner Azad Sinjary. Next visit, I will definitely delve more into the flatbread menu like LAHMACUN, ZAATAR or the house bakery best, SOFRA BREAD. Or KUNAFA for dessert. And a must do is the fabled LAMB SHANK or the bountiful MIXED GRILL, or my fav, BRANZINO! See you there!
Thank you Yelp/Paolo and Sofra Grill for hosting today's event! read more
