Chef Sofra 1021-1023 Mount Alexander Road, Essendon, Victoria 3040
About the Business
Welcome to Chef Sofra, located at Essendon, Mount Alexander Road, 1021-1023 in Australia. As an establishment, food is at the heart of our institution. We are not just a restaurant, but a point of interest where you can experience the rich food culture that defines a nation.
Sofra and food culture are intertwined, shaping the identity of a community. However, it is important to note that geography plays a significant role in influencing the way people eat and drink. The climate and the food obtained from the land are key factors that determine the culinary traditions of a region. Additionally, the interaction with other civilizations also leaves its mark on the local food culture.
At Chef Sofra, we believe that the food we share together strengthens the bonds of family and friendship. Sofras, or communal dining tables, are where groups and communities come together, fostering solidarity and connection. It is at these tables that different groups have been able to put their differences aside and make peace. Beyond just offering food, Sofra culture encourages family members to come together, creating an environment where they can truly see and hear one another, finding solutions and forming stronger bonds.
To us, Sofra is not just about nourishing the body, but also about feeding the soul. It is an art form that encompasses the setting of the table, the flavors of the food, and the conversations shared over it. This unique blend of art and flavor is what makes dining at Chef Sofra a truly unforgettable experience.
As we welcome you to our institution, we hope that this Ramadan brings you happiness, health, and prosperity. Join us at Chef Sofra, where you can indulge in the beauty of food culture and create lasting memories with your loved ones.

"Absolutely amazing food and the service was wonderful. Staff friendly and smiling happy to be working. Also chatty. The experience was really nice. I will defiently be recommending and going back! The chef thought we waited a tad too long for our meals so we received complementary dips and bread was so nice that it was noticed we had waited without us bringing it to their attention. So happy we went there!!"
"Far out! Havent had this many amazing mezes together for a long time. Great service and space. Will be back for sure…"
"Really authentic food and tasty. Chicken was beautifully managed and flavoured. Lots of vegetarian and vegan options chef was very accommodating to create something special for our dietary requirements."
"LOVE THE DIPS!! I’ve been here a number of times now-always so so good!! The selection of dips are truly delicious and have a homemade taste to them-Nuraniye is my favourite! We always at least get 4 and they come in generous portions. The Hunkar Begendi as a main is my go to, as you can’t find it elsewhere and the lamb just melts in your mouth! So yummy! Without a doubt I will be going back =)"
"The variety on the menu is great. The stand outs were the meat, zucchini fritters and dips. The rice was clumpy and the only let down. The female owner and staff were friendly. The young male waiter was polite but the waitress was a bit standoffish. Odd that the coffee service shuts down early. How can you have desserts without coffee? At least we could get Turkish coffee. The price is very reasonable. The takeways containers need to be plastic given the food served is wet."
