Sofra Restaurant Mayfair 18 Shepherd Street, London W1J 7JG

"Excellent food, very attentive staff, small restaurant that's cozy in a nice area."

"The area is wonderful at night, busy vibrant and pretty. The restaurant itself is small but exquisitely turned out; white pressed linen, immaculate cutlery, good sized tables and comfortable seating. The atmosphere is quiet warm and intimate, perfect for business or for old friends to catch up. The staff are friendly and the service could not be better. The food and drink is of course excellent and well proportioned. The lamb tagine is highly recommended. There is clever use of large mirrors to make the place look open and bigger, although that can be a little disconcerting! The only caveat is that due to the size the toilets are small and down a narrow set of stairs, if one is less mobile. Otherwise it is a perfect venue."

"Very tasty food. I enjoyed Chicken liver appetisers. Very good customer service. I’d give 5 stars. Although I’m allergic to sesame and I notified the server. When I picked dish I asked if there’s any sesame. Gentlemen said it has none. Unfortunately it had sesame. It wasn’t pleasant surprise. Overall good restaurant."

"Lunch at Sofra earlier this week. Staff are friendly and attentive without being overbearing. There is a nice atmosphere and no rush. Food was great, hot and sensibly priced for central London. I have eaten at Sofra quite a few times and this was another very enjoyable meal."

"An old favourite of mine from my (pre retirement) business days but last night it was me that paid the bill. Always enjoyable. Great food and service and had interesting Turkish wines both red and white. However I wont be trying Turkish coffee again anytime soon."
