Sofra - Mayfair in City of London, Westminster

The octopus was amazing! Great food, service and house! 10/10

Excellent food, the vegetarian option was exquisite. Absolutely amazing atmosphere. The service was also amazing and kind. I will absolutely come back. Thank you!

I liked the place very nice and clean and delicious foods, Highly recommended

Very nice place and location Delicious food However some of the staff was really rude And some can not understand english which was very weird since they are in london !!

A must try restaurant in London

This is the best Turkish restaurant in London. The lamb was delicious. The lentil soup was so tasty. The pita bread And hummus starter was an unexpected and delightful treat. Thank you so much for making our time in London special. The window table was picturesk.

We were staying around the corner at a nice hotel called 9 Herford and were just walking around and found this place. Did not think anything of it initiallt but wow were we suprised. We went there twice in three days for dinner. We had beef mousaka and salmon. Best mousaka i ever had and the slmon was perfect. Portions were very large. Food was perfectmand staff was perfect. The only thing strange was linen tablecloths but paper napkins. I would go back in a heartbeat. It is locatedmin the Shepaher’s market area. Try it. You will really like it.

Had a wonderful dinner at Sofra, friendly, helpful staff, great menu, food served quickly, nicely presented and all tasted very good.

My daughter's 11th birthday, a wonderful evening with delicious food and great service. We ate there three times during our 9 days in London and it was excellent every time!

Its ok for some basic food i guess but is quite over priced for what it is & youre certainly paying for location. The Turkish wine and the bread are really good i must say! Staff arent great, apart from the 2 who i assume are the owners. The rest of the staff dont seem to understand a word of English. Not bad, not great, its ok.

The food was very average and I wouldn’t wholeheartedly say it was very fresh. The water was tepid we had to ask for ice and despite several frantic waiters dashing about, you can only place your order through the manager. There is a service charge and you get a bland complimentary hummus and bread which was quite liquid and oily. My friend has the chicken and rice and I had the lamb/beef mince wrap that was drenched in sauce and quite limp salad. The chips were quite disappointing as they build them as being exquisite on the menu! Would we return, probably not it’s more aimed at the clientele that live locally.

In my opinion, it is not the old table. The food and service has gone down a lot. The place I have been coming to for years is Sofra, but this time it was in the classroom. While waiting for the bill, 4 people at the table drank the tea, 2 people drank the tea, I left it behind. Why do you charge 4 people to pay for the tea? Anyway, Mr. Ozer, Sofra is Turkish hospitality in London. It used to show, but the place has changed over time...

I have to definitely agree with others about the service. They are all smiles trying to get your custom but once your bums on the seat they just don’t care. Waiters stood outside smoking. To be fair the food was quite nice, tasty hummus and nice falafel but the bread didn’t taste fresh. This restaurant has a prime position but just give the impression they can’t be bothered.

They speak harshly even when greeting you, the service is extremely bad, I personally would not recommend you to come here as a family, but it is your decision.

Everything was perfect, especially the food and service. although they didn't have a baby changing room but they welcomed us to downstairs so we can change our baby in private but it would've been good of they had a changing room just in case . But hey the food was wonderful.

We went twice and were greeted very badly both times and were not seated. Mr. Hüseyin has a customer reception officer who does not suit his smiling face and quality. He's literally scolding you. Behaviors that do not suit Turkish hospitality and friendliness. If you want to be demoralized with your money and be scolded, you should definitely go. If I go hungry for a week, I won't go to the Sofra branch anymore.

Refused service on a weekday for lunch when the restaurant was empty. Not the inclusivity we expect in a city like London. Disappointing

A truly 5 star restaurant in the middle of Mayfair. Could not fault anything.

Food quality was good. Portions utterly dreadful. 2 spoons of rice and 1 skewer of lamb £23. Ridiculous. I politely complimented the waiter on the taste but mentioned the portions have decreased. He went off in a huff.

Loved all my dishes at your restaurant . I had your tabbouleah , seafood maranara and the baklava . Great service . Thanks

A clean Turkish restaurant with delicious food. Small

Came from Los Angeles to enjoy British food but this cute restaurant in the corner caught our attention. Loved the food and their service was spectacular. Enjoyed with starters and chefs special. Absolute recommended

I tried it by chance, and thank God we succeeded 🙏🏼. We ordered Iskender kebab, Alfredo pasta, and a meat burger. The taste was not a mistake. All the dishes were delicious and the meat was melted. I think their regime seated modest families outside because I noticed that those inside were all foreigners and the tables had alcoholic beverages on them 😅🥂🍸

Lovely greeting, soft music so you could still chat. Food and portions...amazing!

Excellent delicious restaurant, excellent service

One of the most amazing restaurants I have been to, food is. Great and staff is awesome 😍I have visited the place three times. ❤️

Very clean turkish restaurant, specially lamb fillet Very friendly people

I liked the place, the food, and the service. The place is a little small, but the atmosphere is great

We booked to go to this restaurant in Shepherd's Market with friends last night and without exception it turned out to be one of the worst restaurant experiences I have had in a long long time. We sat outside as it was a warm evening and we were expecting a relaxing evening. However we were hurried, the food was not good and tasted like it had been made the night before and re-heated. One of our friends hadn't even finished her first course when they brought out the main course dishes. My partner's Lamb Tagine was so bad she couldn't eat it and when we complained the waiter just smiled! The mussels I had were almost inedible and when the bill arrived my partner insisted that we didnt pay for her lamb dish so they removed it from the bill but the manager acted like the fault lay with us!! I cannot even say the service was that good either. Suffice to say we will never return!

The food is delicious, the service is fast, and the atmosphere of the place is beautiful. I had a great breakfast in it, and the breakfast was very delicious.

قمت مع صديقي بزياره الي مطعم سفر تركي لبناني وطلبت كثير من الطلبات ومن ضمن الطلبات طلبت سلطه فتوش واذا بها حشره وعندما دعيت مدير المطعم قال لي اتت من برا ولم تكن موجوده وكانت جميع التوابل علي الحشره شي محزن قالي لي اغيرلك بسلطه اخري فقلت لها لا لا يوجد اي ضمان بان الطلبات نظيف قطع الحديث معي وتركني مدير المطعم التركي فلا طعام لذيذ ولا تعامل جيد ويفرض عليك خدمه والطعام غالي جدا بالنسبه الي المطاعم الفاخر وتاخير الطلبات الي نص ساعه فلا انصح به عن تجربه في جميع افرعه سيييييييئ للغايه في التعامل وغي النظافه

The quantities are small and the price is high. They added a service charge of 15 pounds. When I asked for a pick-up, they refused and I paid for it 😒

Fantastic meal last night. Warm bread and hummus, followed by Japanese style black cod, Fillet of Seabass and Su Muhallibisi dessert. Timings, service and food quality all perfect. Special mention to Fatih our waiter who was Brilliant. Would definitely recommend but must be pre-booked

It is so-so . Service is barely ok as first impression counts the most. When we first entered staff was a bit impolite to offer us a seat we would like. We did not want to sit next to the door but he told us that restaurant is small so acted as if there is no more option in fact it was not busy time and only two tables were occupied when we entered. Then as soon as he noticed that we wanted to leave he changed his attitude and asked where we would like to sit. When it comes to food, it is delicious, meat is cooked very well and tender. However I did not like the way it is served without any salad. Most turkish restaurants usually serve their dishes with salads which I like. I would suggest the restaurant to change their serving dishes and cutlery as most of them are cracked and chipped. Besides that, their bread tray was very messy, I am glad that they used a napkin!

Very good, exceptional cuisine…. The prices are very reasonable, generous portions and super friendly staff, I 100% recommend this establishment which makes you dream of these flavors of Anatolia….

We were greeted with a smile and sent off with a smile. He liked the lentil soup, Hunkar, and we ordered Lamb tagine. Hummus was served as a complimentary meal. All the food was delicious. The atmosphere was nice. It's a cute, beautiful restaurant.

It was first time for me! Lovely food lovely staff.

We chose the new Sofra Steak & meze in Bond Street. The meze was so tasty with such thoughtful and unique touches. I’d recommend to everybody. Best hummus I had ever had. Such great combinations of nuts and sweet and savoury.

The shish meatballs were amazing.

We came here as a group of 5 and every single dish is exceptional.

We went to Sofra as a group of 5, all the mezes and main courses were delicious. I loved Hunkar Begendi and would recommend it to everyone as well.

Visiting Sofra first time during a weekend trip and I am amazed of taste of every dish I ordered. As someone familiar with Turkish cuisine and picky eater, I just couldn't find any negative with dishes I ordered(Hunkar begendi, Liver, Kunefe). Highly recommended if you are into Turkish cuisine and mezzes.

A small place with an amazing food. A Turkish restaurant with nice quality food.

We had a great dinner with the family. LAMB SHISH IS A MUST TRY! Fatih was also the best server I’ve seen in a very long time! This is our first time visiting London and we won’t need to look for another Turkish restaurant anymore. Thank you

The food and place are clean and quiet, and the service is fast I thank employee JOSH for the wonderful service💐💐

One of the most tasteful restaurants in London. I came more than once, I tried the sea bass, fish and chips and mixed grill and all of them were extremely delicious. Also, I enjoyed the service and hospitality by Josh. Definitely recommended!

This restaurant great for a lunch out - very good location, well made tasty Turkish food with a good selection - very good service

Nice area quick service. Super friendly. Great vegetarian options. I miss a bit of authentic sensación

Excellent restaurant, delicious and perfectly cooked lamb ribs. The falafels are really good. They know how to cook meat properly. See you soon 👌

We ate at Sofra three nights in a row. Yes, three nights! The food is fantastic and service is great. They have a very extensive menu. Everything that we ordered was just delicious. The chicken fillet was seasoned perfectly and cooked just right. Tender. We have a Sofra in Middleton Wi ( they’re not related) and that’s what got our attention. If you’re in London definitely go here.

The meat is tender and delicious, the waiters are very friendly. I loved this place

Honnêtement très bon prenez les plats turcs vous ne serez pas déçu j'aime beaucoup ce restaurant lorsque je viens à londres

Best and tastiest food in London. We enjoyed it very much! Mega friendly and competent staff. Everything was great and can only be recommended 👍

I’m not that familiar with Turkish cuisine but I was pleasantly surprised by the taste and the service. I had the spicy monkfish bowl and wow what a great bite. The only negative was the paper napkins. I could not help noticing that the locals and people of Turkish decent got the linen napkins. I will be back.

They offer delicious and accessible meals. I can say that it is one of the most tender meats I have ever eaten.

We were looking for halal food and found this place. Staff were great. Attentive and smiley faces. Sofra is not a v big eating restaurant. All the windows seat were taken and we were left with behind the wall to the door what looked like I realised it’s the kitchen entrance. Staff walking up and down where our table is. No good if u want to have a peaceful and quiet meal that’s why the 4 star on the atmosphere. Food were great but a little bland .. with an option of spicyness and salad recommendations won’t go amiss. Wonderful location.

HÜSEYIN ÖZER-This special owner of the best Turkish restaurant in London.He and all his staff care for people; value them without discriminating regarding race, ethnicity, religion; welcome their guests with the right body language and they look after them well; Food is very healthily and very tasty. Dishes served with passion by the most friendly and caring team. I advise you to visit and enjoy Turkish food, sweets in a pleasant atmosphere.

The food is amazing , service is great and they are very generous,, love the place

Oh i loved this place .. The food was so delicious I really enjoyed it .. The staff were amazing .. Special thanks for the lady who served our table .. She was so nice ❤️

Restaurant behind Silvergids. Appropriate

Sofra offers a variety of foods. The lamb was absolutely delicious. The cocktails were well made and service was excellent.

We walked in on a busy Friday evening after looking for dinner near our hotel. Lucky for us, they just had a table without wait. The restaurant was very busy, and for good reason. Not only they have very friendly and attentive wait staff, the food is absolutely delicious. The menu had different types of food, but, of course, we picked form the Turkish dishes (and Turkish beer). Everything we ordered was amazing. Lamb tagine slow cooked to perfection, outstanding Hünkar Beğendi, and everything else was just excellent. We also appreciated the fast service, despite the restaurant being completely full. Overall, great value, amazing food.

Great stuff and food, starters were the best we had different plates and main courses and we were all satisfied.

Haji is best servant Many thanks for his always warm welcoming The complimentary bread and butter from Sofra is my treat after long walk in London Thanks

The products are very delicious. They especially have a dish made from lamb neck with apricots and plums that resembles mutancana, which should definitely be tried. Lamb shish is great. I couldn't have thought that we could find such a place in London. All products are halal.

Stumbled upon this restaurant in Mayfair during our trip to London this april, we didn’t have a reservation, but the waiter found a table for us and provided amazing service. All food was delicious, and Turkish red wine was also a pleasant experience.

After exploring numerous dining establishments across London, I can confidently say that no other restaurant surpasses the excellence found at this particular establishment. Fantastic restaurant

Food was amazing,great service and hospitality👌👌

Bought my mum and brother, was an incredible evening. Amazing food and the service was incredible. Will definitely be back

Amazing food! Wow! Reminds me of food in Istanbul. Atmosphere is great cozy intimate, very clean, and service was great!

Stopped by and made a reservation as the restaurant looked nice (although I had been walking all day and the person taking my booking gave me an "up and down" look as if to check whether I could afford it or not). Anyway went back at the allotted time and was sat on a nice table amongst other diners already eating. Menu good and easily picked our respective dishes. The neighbouring tables were not too friendly as I assume lots of them are rich locals. Food very good and staff very attentive. Wine a bit pricey for my liking but then it is Mayfair. A short walk from the Hilton so really handy for us and saved a trudge into the West End for dinner.

Had a perfect dinner date with my mom and the service was great. Highly recommend !!

Delicious food and very kind staff specially Samia. I recommend and definitely come back.

The food was amazing, the service was great and I loved the atmosphere. I would recommend it to everyone.

Sofra mayfair my regular restaurant so I’m going to offen this restaurant Foods are high quality staff are excellent so like my home I’m so comfortable when I go there thanks Sofra family

It was cold evening and I was with my two years son, the waiter insisted that's we have to sit outside , I said I can't as I have a little child

Went there a few days ago and we had a wonderful experience. We didn’t have a reservation, but the waiter found a table for us and provided amazing service with delicious food. We were very satisfied with everything. Highly recommended!

I went to the restaurant and there were two Turkish men and one of them I think was the manager. They were talking about the Arabs and insulting us in their language, thinking that I did not understand their language. I was disappointed. I did not do anything. I wanted to eat and be treated like this!!

One of the best restaurants I've tested in London! The atmosphere is cozy and the food is more than delicious 👌👌👌

Excellent service and hospitality - recommend to everyone looking for a cosy restaurant with delicious cuisine

The experience was exceptional. The food was delectable, offering a delightful array of authentic Turkish flavors. The service was equally impressive, with attentive staff creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Overall, a must-visit for those seeking a memorable Turkish culinary experience in the heart of London.

Great Lamb Tagine, carrot juice and lovely atmosphere. Food arrives promptly and disappears off the plate very quickly.

Çok Samimi bir ortam sayın Çoşkun beye ayrıca teşekkür ederim.kesinle tavuk şiş tavsiye ederim. Yurt dışında Helal food bulmak çok zor gözümü arkada kalmadan yedik. bugüne kadar yediğim en iyi tavuk şiş süperrrr

So welcoming and good vibes. Really enjoyed myself

Top notch restaurant for meat in Shepherd's market. I would recommend the chicken fillet as it's the best I've had.

المطعم يقدم الخمور والنبيذ مااظن انه حلال 😅

Mekandaki samimiyete ve nezakete hayran kaldım. Yemekler de çok lezzetliydi. Çok beğendim. Kesinlikle tekrar geleceğim.🎈

Strongly recommend. Cost - great value for money, especially given location. Personally recommend the mixed grill and houmous to share and baklava to share for desert. Wine list is also very approachable. Service - impeccable, staff are patient, attentive, fast to react when needed, and always smiling. Other - lots of table covers makes it ideal for walk ins if you haven't reserved. Natural light is a plus and all the windows onto the heart of shepherds market makes it great for taking in the atmosphere of the area

Stumbled upon this Turkish restaurant in Mayfair, and it turned out to be a pleasant experience for a single-night stay. Everything was delicious, and the hummus as an appetizer was simply fantastic. A great find in Mayfair—I truly enjoyed it!

عيش وكفتة واسكندر لحم لذيذ المعامله ممتازه

Tekrar gidermiyim?Sahibi olan hemşehrimin hatırına ,evet.

Good local spot in Mayfair great service. Fun area perfect if the weather is a challenge. Our second visit solid food. Cheers

Very very delicious flavored Turk food with 7-star service.

Delicious food and excellent service! The starter meze’s alone were worth the experience.

Best Turkish restaurant in London. Staff are very friendly.

Cuisine de qualité et service attentionné avec un bon rapport qualité prix. Nous avons passé un moment très agréable.

Simply excellent, and possibly the best Turkish restaurant in London, especially at this price point. Everything was just perfect but if I had to give a credit to somebody it would be to the owner for running such an establishment. I visited 25 years ago and it was great and it was still just as good tonight. Thank you for being in business.

Dr. Hüseyin Özer's incredible success surprised me very much. Also, I still remember their delicious food! I wish you continued success.

Great lamb just as I remembered. Good to go back with friends. Thank you.

Good food, nice atmosphere, but the staff are not attentive and the service is really slow.
