Sofra

Named after the traditional low dining table yer sofrasi, Sofra has been serving authentic Turkish cuisine since 1999, with dishes such as the Lahmacun ($19.50) flatbread with minced lamb, which dates back to 5,000 years; and the Sultan’s Delight, Hunkar Begendi ($27.50) an old Turkish eggplant and lamb recipe that goes back a few hundred years to the time of the Ottoman Empire. Of course, the hearty Kebab Platter ($107.50 for 4) is a must-have for everything kebab, served with bulgur and Turkish pilav. For something different, Sofra’s Turkish High Tea ($47 for 2 pax) is also very popular, featuring signature Turkish delicacies and desserts, such as the classic Baklava and Cezerye, the latter being a traditional dessert of caramelised carrots, shredded coconut and roasted nuts. Priyanka Elhence
