A Mediterranean Delight: Sofreh Delivers Authentic Flavors in East Los Angeles Sofreh, nestled in the vibrant heart of East Los Angeles, beckons with the promise of Mediterranean delights that tantalize the taste buds and transport diners to distant shores. My recent visit to this culinary gem left me thoroughly impressed, from the first bite to the last. Opting for the beef kabob wrap paired with a side of Greek fries, I embarked on a gastronomic journey that exceeded all expectations. The wrap, expertly crafted with tender beef, fresh vegetables, and a medley of flavorful spices, was a symphony of savory goodness wrapped in warm, pillowy bread. Accompanying the wrap were the Greek fries, a delightful fusion of crispy potatoes seasoned to perfection with aromatic herbs and spices. Each bite was a burst of Mediterranean flavor, perfectly complementing the richness of the kabob wrap. What truly sets Sofreh apart is its commitment to authenticity. Every dish is a celebration of Mediterranean cuisine, crafted with care and attention to detail. From the quality of the ingredients to the presentation on the plate, it's evident that the chefs take pride in their craft. Beyond the food, the ambiance at Sofreh is warm and inviting, making it the perfect spot to enjoy a leisurely meal with friends or family. The staff are friendly and attentive, ensuring that every guest feels welcome and well taken care of. In conclusion, Sofreh is a must-visit destination for anyone seeking an authentic taste of the Mediterranean in East Los Angeles. Whether you're craving classic dishes or eager to explore new flavors, you're sure to find something to delight your palate at this hidden culinary gem.

Perfect. I thought it was lovely! It was charming. It was quiet and peaceful. There was lots of food. It was all really good. I had the beef mix and my husband had the chicken mix. I bought an order of dolmas. I like mine with a lot of lemon. I didn’t request any lemons, next time I will. I didn’t realize there was no parking lot to park in. I parked on the street and we sat down to eat. The lady was very friendly. I was not expecting water without ice. The water was very good and it was cold. The fork was not strong enough to cut the steak. I would recommend this place. I loved how peaceful it was and the food was good. We drove all day from out of state and we were tired and thought this would be a cheap quick meal before going to bed. He hadn’t plan on spending that much. That’s why I said it was expensive. I’m use to getting Dolmas at Heart of Jerusalem and other places cheaper. Unfortunately where I’m from we do not have any restaurants that sell this kind of food near us. When I’m in Colorado I love going to the Heart of Jerusalem and wish more places would do dolmas like they do.

Great value for good food. We did the Sofreh Kebab Tray (for 3) for takeout. They took a bit longer than anticipated to finish the food (seems to be understaffed right now?) But there is a lot of food..... I think it could reasonably do 4 people of average appetites. We had leftovers, but that's good too! Meat preferences go: chicken, pork, gyro, lamb, beef. The rice is seaonsed well, so it's pretty good. The salad is quite basic but serves the purpose of having some veggies to balance your meal. The hummus flavour isn't very strong, but it's still good and pairs well with the stronger flavour rice. Pita was OK, but not fair to judge pita as takeout since it won't be as fresh regardless of what you do, which always ruins the experience. Doesn't seem like they have dine in experience right now? Was a window booth for pick up and payment. Maybe for later in the day?

This place was the bomb! I've always liked Mediterranean food, but this place just knocked it out of the park for me. It was our 1st time here. I had the Beef Shish Kabob plate (lower left side of picture) and my uncle had the Vegetarian Plate (upper right side). The food is indeed fresh just as their name states. We both loved how delicious the rice was. The beef was absolutely delicious! Nice and tender. Not hard or tastes old like most Mediterranean meals I've had in the past. My uncle loved the falafels in his meal. He wanted more. The only negative thing I have to say is, we thought it would be more vegetarian friendly. But nonetheless, we are definitely coming back. Just a side note, it can be a little bit pricey. Then again, right now, almost everything is.

Sofreh,a truly unique Mediterranean spot, my experience on this 1st visit was very good, and everything you read in the reviews is You order at the front and depending on time of service or day, you are given a beeper to notify your pickup. Food is very fresh, well seasoned, and enjoyable . The menu appears to have a good balance of options, all of which I need to experience as well as others who chose to enjoy cuisine of this flavor. The outdoor seating adds to its character and charm of this establishment. As to service of Sofreh , timing is key to everything as was this visit. No one in line and food was out within 15 minutes. Truly,a great evening adventure . We will be back .

Well, we came from Arizona and tried this place based on the reviews. The rice was very old at least from 1 day ago!! All clustered up and cold, my husband ordered koobideh, it had nothing to do with a koobideh! No onions in the meat and it smelled like raw meat! Never back again! Waste of money and this place is outdoor and hot just fyi! No Ac what so ever! Just some slow fans that won't make a difference! Take your money and run! Zero stars ✳️ and of course no parking spot and gotta park by the side of the street which is very inconvenient.
