Chef Sofra

Food, & hospitality was on point as always. Loved the starters & cold meze's so much so, that we didn't even get to main meals. See you next time.

The food was a great representation of turkish cuisine. The staff were very approachable.

Thank you Chef Sofra for a delicious meal and great service … as always!

I was happy with the experience as we celebrated my dad's birthday. The food and service were amazing. This is my second time visiting this restaurant, and I'm more than happy to recommend it to friends and family.

Food and service were very good. Not keen on the tables in front of kitchen.

Great service, amazing food. Best Turkish restaurant in Melbourne. Compliments to the staff who are extremely welcoming ❤️

The food was delicious and the service was very good also.

Very average meal $35 for a piece of dry and rubbery rockling left me and my friends quite disappointed If your going to cook fish in a place like this please try and get it right or stick to cooking meat only.

Table for 4 Saturday night. Company and food delicious…we all agreed a definite return and highly recommend. Our only criticism it was extremely noisy, maybe one less table against the wall therefore less cramped. But, only a small criticism otherwise service and food brilliant.

Food was delicious and the staff were very attentive. Great option for those with coeliac disease.

Amazing authentic cuisine. Tasty and cooked to perfection. The meat dishes and mezze dishes were all delicious!

Outstanding customer service and lovely food. The meze's/starter dishes are to die for. Yummiest Turkish Restaurant!

Delicious food and good service. Restaurant is clean and well maintained.

Delicious food and great service throughout the night. Great experience

Chef Sofra was excellent in all respects with one exception. It was noisy maybe due to they were well booked for a Tuesday. However the acoustics of the venue with all the diners made it difficult to have a conversation.

Delicious Turkish food ,10 out of 10 👏🏻👏🏻😊 Highly recommended…

Fantastic food and atmosphere! Will definitely be back again soon.

Service was ok but did try to rush us. Food was nice but overpriced

Recommend this place for a flavourful, satisfying dinner! So many options and everything smells delicious

Pleasant experience always I go there. Nice atmosphere and staff that are always smiling and helpful.

Amazing food , highly recommend, great friendly service, will definitely be back🥰

Fantastic food fresh tasty and clean. Service was amazing too.

What a great find. I’d been meaning to come here for some time and it surpassed my already high expectations. The food was sophisticated without being pretentious and still being authentic. Fresh, vibrant, clean food… so delicious. The ambiance and service had a similar vibe. We’ll be back soon, this time with friends. So good!

Feedback on Our Recent Dining Experience Dear SofiaTeam, I wanted to take a moment to share our thoughts about our recent visit to your restaurant. Overall, we had a wonderful experience! The meals were great, and your staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made our time there even more enjoyable. The only thing we noticed was that the music was a bit loud for our taste. We believe that quieter, softer music could create an even more pleasant dining atmosphere. Other than that, everything was perfect, and we look forward to visiting again soon. Thank you for the excellent service! Best regards,

The servings were very small, the rice is just steamed rice, the grilled veg were hard and the service was no existent. The patrons mostly wore active wear and shorts and I would not recommend this restaurant.

Service with a smile. Food is absolutely delicious. It’s our local and we go at least once a month. Love it!

Great service, great food great atmosphere would recommend anyone to try.

Really tasty food, lovely quick service. Always a local favourite.

Fantastic food Friendly and helpful staff Good location and nice environment

The food was very tasty and good portions. Zucchini Fritters were the only disappointment - we were expecting crispy fried fritters, but they were quite stodgy - maybe this is the way they are served in this cuisine. We will come again and explore different menu items.

Very satisfied and family just as satisfied with me. Will definitely come back...

We had a fantastic time and the staff were all wonderful! Thank you 🙏🏼

Tasty food served with pride in pleasant surroundings. Will go again.

Food was beautiful, tasteful and great servings. Staff were attentive and friendly. Would definitely go back and recommend to friends. We has a lovely night.
