I am not a big fan of Greek food. If I have kabob it would probably be at an Iranian restaurant. If I want doner I look for authentic Turkish place, etc.
Sofra is that old "Mediterranean" shtick, which usually means we are a mutt and do nothing well.
On the whole Sofra is a 3.5.
The food was actually good here. I had the skewer of chicken sheesh kabob with rice and it was tender. I believe sheesh kabob cannot be chicken. If I am right it goes to show how they are inauthentic, but regardless the chicken was fine and the rice was fine. I do feel they could do better with the quantity however and by no means am I a glutton.
The waitress was friendly and cheerful and she was responsive to the buzzers I am used to finding not at restaurants like this, but at Korean BBQ places! Overall, she would not be a good fit at Air Canada because she was prompt and smiling. Anyway, anyone who is experienced the hostile arrogance and management that is considered 'service' at Me Va Me already has such low expectations that anything at Sofra will be a delight in comparison.
Aside from the quantity issue, the décor is sparse and of course these suburban plazas have all the charm of a bug in a soup so...
A little too expensive for lunch and the quantity too, but they did serve salad for the price as well so I may go back if I am in the mood for Iranian/Turkish/Arabic/Israeli food of which they seem to have a collection.
Anyone knows a good Turkish place in Toronto? There are quite a few good Iranian kabob restaurants (shishlix or Pardis yum), but a good doner place??
