" I had high expectations for Sofreh after hearing so much about it, but my experience was a bit disappointing. The outdoor setting is charming and the service was friendly, yet our food took unusually long to arrive, and when it did, the kebab was slightly overcooked. To their credit, they quickly offered to replace it, which I appreciated. The flavors were authentic, but I expected more consistency. I may give them another chance based on the rave reviews but would hope for a better experience next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Sofreh is definitely a hidden gem! I loved sitting outside and enjoying my meal while listening to live music nearby. The beef kabob I ordered was smoky and flavorful. I do wish they had more vegetarian options available, but the quality of the food more than made up for it. The staff was pleasant, though there was a slight delay in receiving my order. Overall, a wonderful experience and I will be back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Sofreh has become one of my favorite spots for Mediterranean food. The outdoor seating is lovely, but it can get crowded, serving flavorful dishes under the sun. My go-to is the beef kabob, served with a side of perfectly cooked rice. Each bite is packed with flavors that take me back to my time in the Middle East. The only downside I’ve encountered is the occasional wait during peak hours. But, in my opinion, the quality of the food makes it worthwhile. Can't wait to dine here again! " (*Curated Review*)

" Lovely little restaurant with a vibrant outdoor patio. The lamb chops were grilled perfectly and very flavorful! The sides complemented the meal as well. The service was initially slow, but the staff was polite and accommodating. Overall, I'd give this place a solid 4 based on the food and the atmosphere! Worth the visit if you’re in East LA looking for genuine Mediterranean cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing about Sofreh, I finally visited, and it did not disappoint. The ambiance is charming with the outdoor seating surrounded by flowers, creating a cozy atmosphere perfect for a meal. I opted for the grilled lamb chops, which were grilled to perfection, flavorful and tender. The side salads were fresh and complemented the meal beautifully. While waiting for the food took a little longer than expected, it was understandable given how busy the place was. Overall, I’d give it a solid 4 for the experience, with the food being outstanding! I will return for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Sofreh was simply unforgettable! The moment I stepped in, I was greeted warmly, and the inviting outdoor ambiance was a delight. I ordered the mixed kabob plate, and it was nothing short of amazing. The meat was perfectly grilled and full of flavor. Plus, the rice was aromatic and fresh! I did notice a bit of wait time, especially during peak hours, but the food quality made it worth it. As a Mediterranean food lover, I'm particular about authenticity, and Sofreh definitely delivered. I can't wait to return and try the dolmas next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Sofreh during my short stay in LA and I was very pleased! I ordered the vegetable platter which was fresh and bursting with flavors. The tahini sauce was delightful and complemented the grilled veggies. The place has a lovely outdoor setting, and the ambiance was just right for a casual meal. The staff at the counter were accommodating and helped me navigate the menu, making me feel welcome. Overall, a positive experience! " (*Curated Review*)
