Sotta 2009 West Alameda Avenue, Burbank, CA 91506

"Where is the noodle in my Thai noodle salad?? Or the peanuts? Or the coconut flakes? I think I found a garbanzo bean… and that’s not listed on the menu. Definitely doesn’t look like the picture online…"

"In Burbank, nestled between the usual suburban fare, lies a hidden gem that promises a culinary voyage worth taking. Sotta, a Mediterranean haven, is not just a restaurant—it's an experience that transcends the commonplace. We walked in and immediately knew we made a great decision. From the vast coffee selection to the tantalizing fresh baked bars, pies, and treats, your first inclination is to enjoy a sweet treat and cup of espresso. Fortunately, there is a wonderful dining menu that delivers on taste and size. We ordered various plates including chicken kebab, lamb, and a salmon salad. The meats were tender and the sides were perfect accompaniments. The Shirazi salad was refreshing and paired well with the creamy yogurt with cucumbers and basmati rice. The salmon was seared perfectly and the Caesar dressing was light and balanced out the salad. Our orders took a few minutes to be ready, but considering we ordered the lamb, a short wait was to be expected. Just before we left we peeked back over at the desserts and decided on a delicious apricot bar. It was a perfect way to end a wonderful lunch."

"There are a lot of good Mediterranean places in Los Angeles so it’s hard for any establishment to separate itself from the pack. Sotta is that rare gem that rises above the rest. Their kabobs are high quality meat, always plump, juicy and flavorful. The sides are not afterthoughts, instead they are carefully curated works of art. Finally, their desert selection is unparalleled, from the cookies, to the tarts, to the piece de resistance- the key lime pie. I hereby proclaim Sotta, the best in Los Angeles."

"Expensive but worth the experience! I will definitely be back! The food was delicious, the atmosphere was great. Can wait to try more stuff from their huge menu."

"This was my first visit to Sotta the food was extremely delicious. I had the chicken, dark meat my friends had the steak salad more steak that they could eat. and another chicken dish. Everything was just delicious prepared as expected. If you’re in Burbank, and like the Mediterranean food this is a great place for lunch. The staff was super friendly restaurant was very clean and service was fast."
