Square Meal Review of Sofra Covent Garden ?

Sofra made its name by following the Pizza Express blueprint – namely serving colourful food that everyone could afford in settings & surroundings they never thought they could. Just because you don’t have a ton to drop on dinner doesn’t mean you don’t deserve tablecloths, clean wine glasses & waiter service, goes the thinking. To an extent, the formula still works for Sofra’s thronged Turkish restaurants (& their smarter sibling, Ozer) with £10 menus & mezze platters luring in the tourists & theatregoers. Classics of hoummos, falafel, baba gannouj, tagines & lamb kebabs are still reliable & reasonable, & very fine with one of a handful of Turkish wines. It’s just hard to get excited about a menu of steaks, seafood & grills when newer, fresher chains wink so seductively just round the corner.

    We booked a table for 8, pre theatre at 6pm on a Saturday. The only good aspect was that they gave us a round table. It took 15 minutes to get 2 bottles of wine (no ice bucket), an hour later we got the first course and then the main course almost came at the same time. The service was incredibly slow, the restaurant was baking hot and they had to offer us the alternative of coming back for dessert and coffee after the show or taking doggie bags to the theatre! Non of which worked for us. I usually like Sofra's food and value for money, but do not go if you are a group on a time scale! Nightmare. The bill was £35 per head (set menu, wine, no coffee and crappy sweets which landed up in the bin outside the theatre). Overpriced and underdelivered! Disappointing. Sue

    A great place for a quick, tasty and bargain lunch. The two of us enjoyed the Mezze platter to share (plentiful) with a delightful bottle of house red. Service was attentive, but unnoticed. Including deserts and coffees it was just over £50. Absolute bargain and I'll be going back again and again
