Very pleasant workers and the food is great. I was nerve at first because it's food from a different culture, but Amazingly cooked/prepared.

Cons: Hard to locate when looking for 'Sofra.' Better look for 'As Evi'. Same place. Seating is boothstyle with ample room to sit. The tables are fastened to the wall and I had to sit on the edge of the bench to reach my plate. The table was not clean. While the hostess noticed, she did not wipe it down. Given, I could have asked for a wipe down or simply sit elsewhere. Pros: Ample parking. Friendly staff. I was looking for Turkish food and Turkish coffee. The ingredients were fresh...all of them. Artfully decorated on the plates. Absolutely divine taste. The chicken kabobs were perfection. The Turkish coffee was excellent. Prices are reasonable. Please be aware that menu items are offered on a daily rotation of beef, then chicken basis. Works for me. Have I found my go to Turkish place?

This is a small Turkish place tucked inside a strip of other businesses. My Chicken kabobs had really good flavor and they were cooked perfectly. However the portions were very small, not just on the chicken but on the naan bread as well. It was a very heavy rice plate with some solid vegetables. I really liked the tomatoes, but the onions were lacking flavor. The pizza appetizer was my favorite part of the meal and it was perfect. Great flavors, and wonderful spices. Yet at $16 it is very expensive and not very filling. Overall, the food tasted pretty good and I would recommend trying all the different halal foods. But the hefty price and long wait times for the food brings down the rating. The place could use a bit more designs and decorations around, but otherwise it was a good experien

Don’t be dismayed by the simplicity of the front of this amazing restaurant. You’re going to be treated to excellent Mediterranean food and friendly family service. Everything we ordered was very fresh and SO-O delicious! I’ve also never had pita bread the way this was baked, not thin, but more like a bread and outrageously good. And with the hummus? Amazing. The menu offers many choices and we loved the kabobs, the rice was perfect as was the salad. I could eat here every day! 5 stars plus!

★★★★★ 5.0 Fadi salam · Apr 2022

One of the best Turkish food we tried so far in New York area. Will definitely going back again. A lot of things were not available because of the Ramadan so had to go for some other options but still it was such a great experience. It was a kind of hybrid restaurant where if you want any drinks you walk to the counter and get one and some time they bring it too if you got lucky 😜 Jokes apart food was highly fresh and taste. Usually we feel heavy ness after eating too much but with them not at all. Service was relatively quicker than other similar restaurants and much politer, I heard they had great tea but could taste it because of Ramadan. Will definitely going back and recommendation is Adan chicken combination of beef kabob with rice lemon, onion, lettuce and some bread. So can’t b
