The meaning of Sofra, is a table prepared or set for eating. Let us serve you with our warm Turkish hospitality and traditional Turkish Cuisine. With one foot in Asia and the other in Europe, Turkey is a rich melting pot of social and culinary traditions dating back to ancient times. The result of these diverse influences is a vibrant, ever-changing cuisine with a harmonious blend of ingredients and techniques drawn from both the Mediterranean and the East. The exotic blends of oils, herbs and spices enhance the fish and meats, together with the area’s distinctive vegetables, pulses, nuts and fruit. Our cuisine takes inspiration from the famous Turkish area, Kayseri, known for dishes based predominantly on meat and pastry. The popular region is a destination on every food lover’s list, and we are proud to be one of few Turkish restaurants to offer these exotic flavours. The evolution of this glorious cuisine was not accidental. Similar to other grand cuisines of the world, it is the result of many different elements. Turkey is known for an abundance and diversity of foods, due to its rich flora, fauna and regional characteristics. The legacy of the Ottoman’s kitchen is inescapable. Hundreds of cooks specializing in different types of dishes, all eager to please the Sultan’s palate, no doubt had their influence in perfecting the Turkish cuisine we know today. What was good enough for the Sultan was good enough for his people and so recipes eventually made their way to the people and to the world.
