Sofra Istanbul in Vaughan

Looking to become a regular here. Been there twice now and love it! Food tastes fresh and delish! Food

I love this place and I always enjoy my meal

Good food

First time to eat here. We thought it will be just one of the places weve been to. But hey Good food, fresh salad . We loved the kunefe ( a must) , Mix Shawarma and Beef pide highly recommended!!!! Friendly people, good service. Will go back .

Great food and service. Beef shawarma is huge.

I love this place; delicious Turkish food.

This place is awesome the staff is wonderful the atmosphere is amazing and the chef is very friendly and a kind man. I love this store so much.

I go here often and i dont really have nothing bad to say, the food is consistent

Great service delicious food, and their Kunefe is the best I ve had.

Great customer service food was excellent.

Amazing and yummy wide selection of Mediterranean food. Everything is made in store, including the bread.

Food is always good. Decent size portions.

Great portion of chicken doner in my wrap

Horrible extremely overpriced. They were good back in the day when there ee no Turkish restos around but now several new ones actually put them to shame. They are also very greedy and like to charge for absolutely anything and eveyrhing they can get away with. The food is not considered very avg.. there 100s of new much superior Turkish restos now.

The food was great, and the portions were big .love the place

Small but beautiful place

Friendly stuff, clean restorant, delicious food

I ordered a shawarma and I totally loved it. But I really don t feel like going there anymore because of the service, it was so bad. I mean the staff there (only the young ones at the front desk) is very bad at customer service. It s like I am there to ask something for free. I am paying to get food but the girl and the guy at the counter was like we don t care if you pay they are busy with their business and chit chats with a rude attitude for interrupting them. NOTE TO THE OWNER: IF YOU REALLY WANT PEOPLE TO ENJOY THE EXPERIANCE AT YOUR PLACE, TRY TO GET SOMEONE WELCOMING AT YOUR FRONT DESK.

Very good restaurant.I love their food and service s excellent

friendly staff,foods are really nice!!!!

Freshly cooked food , highly recommended.

lamb skewers with fries and salad.

So....

The food is AMAZING!!! so tasty and the portions are big.

Is this a lamb chops?

Excellent food. You should try the yayla soup if you like yogurt

Previously my husband found a job posting that they need someone to hire. Being a recent graduate and have not been able to work for sometime i got very excited and had my hopes up because i was sure i would get the job because i fit the job description and also im quite friendly and approachable and i have good experience in customer service. They gave us hope and they kept delaying us and we kept waiting. My husband even called again and talked to that woman and she was laughing and said she will call back . It was very disrespectful and a disgusting way of treating other people. She could have apologized from the first place and no need for the i will call, i will call part.

They had previously advertised for job recruitment, so I took my wife and I went there many times. There was an older lady there (the manager, the one who recruits people) and they told us that she doesnt need to know Turkish, its enough if you know English. My wife is a foreigner and speaks English and Arabic and a little Turkish. He found out, even though I called back, this manager deliberately delayed us by giving us hope even though he was recruiting people, and eventually others came and made ridiculous sentences like Ill see you later. You cant play games as if you gave hope to anyone like that. Its a shame for you and those who put you there. I hope your conscience will be clear, woman.

Very good food and freshness. Great options but sometimes the modifications/dietary restrictions are not consistently tended to. As well sometimes orders have minor mistakes but I also go here so much that it is bound to happen to a very regular customer. No one i have brought here has ever been unhappy. Vegetarian options: There are some but they are limited. The ones they have are very good though. Dietary restrictions: Hard to find completely carb free/low carb options. Vegan is also limited.

This is a a place where we always go with my staffs or my colleagues at work and that their portions are really really huge they all very fresh one single potion is definitely good for more than one person actually if we had like four or five we only order like two or three dishes and still its great in size and we always get fulfilled.

Always delicious! I always get the chicken shawarma with rice. t s a great meal and you get a lot of food. My favourite shawarma in the GTA!

Great place me and my brother love there shawarma

The sign says open 10 in the morning ,I was waiting from 10:00 till 10:20 shaking the door 4 to 5 times no body open even the Laidy (employee)inside sees me but doesn t care .too bad no respect for the time and the customer,

Very good chicken shawarma, friendly staff, only concern, if it is possible to kindly replace the aluminum foil that you wrap the chicken shawarma pitas with some type of parchment paper that might be more friendly to the environment

the food was amazing the service was so fast and the server gave us salad with such a good sauce and the food came like 5-6 min later. anyways recommend for families because it s spacious and the quantity give is huge. we all have leftovers !!

Driving by the area and stop at this local family owned gem. Tried the mixed wrap and that thing slappped!!!!! Absolutely delicious, the meat was perfection. Would revisit and recommend #supportlocal #supportsmallbusinesses

Love this place

The prices have gone up considerably !

Went in for a quick late lunch, early dinner. Had the chicken shawarma with hummus and adana kabab and both were soooo delicious. Never had adana kebab as good as theirs - must be the meat quality Im assuming or the right mixture of both lamb and beef, but whatever it was it was just perfect. Will definitely recommend and come back.

Great food!

Ordered the beef doner and was dry and bland. No seasoning or taste whatsoever. I used to have these guys as top doner. Not sure what happened or how old it was. Gonna have to throw in the towel for this place. Salad was good

Delicious shawarma with Turkish yogurt and very clean place

This is one the best restaurant in Toronto. The food is on point. Prices are very very reasonable. Everything was very tasty.

Beautiful place and great food

Recommend the beef shawarma wrap, although I ll try other dishes another time. Portions are very generous.

Amazing food my G

Well managed , delicious food , Fast service

Service is bad

The chicken shawarma is awesome

Fresh, delicious & healthy! Love this place!! Food

15 years since my first visit to this restaurant. Still amazing!

The food was amazing, I ordered chicken shawarma. Ohhhh my God it was full of taste and incredible. Everything is simple there the staff were helpful and kind. We will be back.

Love the place, great people amazing customer service

delicious, large portions. pleasant service

The taste of the food was amazing! Absolutely loved the pides! Their quantity is worth the price.

Food used to be good, not anymore. Awful staff. Very rude. Really rude

Good turkish donair

Food good but customer service terrible They dont treat people equale No customer valued Food : 4/5

loved the buns, a lot.

Best place

Food is always amazing.

Delicious food, Recommended

Adana kabab and shawarma wrap are excellent Vegetarian options: Humus baba ganooj and others Food : 5/5 |

Best Turkish food. They have amazing shawarma wraps and dinner...their salad dressing is amazing. The Beyti is my favourite dish. And to top it off they have fresh home made bread!!!

Food was delicious and outstanding service.

Decent food. Awful staff. Extremely rude. Even though I paid almost 40$ worth of food lady got mad at me for taking 3 straws simply becuz i didnt order a drink. Take your business somewhere far better as its clearly not wanted here.

A+ food and service

Thr first thing they should know is deference between shawarma and Döner! We go to turkish restaurants to eat Döner not shawarma! The second thing, they should know deference between wrap and sandwich! When I order sandwich, definitely i dont want pita wrap! I ordered 2 Döner sandwich and I got 2 Shawarma wrap! how its possible?! Unfortunately we dont have any other turkish restaurants in the area and I had to order this time and it was my last time for sure!

Simply delicious !!!!

One of the best Turkish restaurants in the GTA.

Kunefe rich and delicious! Went well with the çay!

It upset my stomach

Traditional and authentic turkish food, affordable prices.

Ive never had a doner like this before. You can tell from the picture. I do not recommend

Food is top notch. The location is always a pain to get in and out of and service can be slow (especially when they are busy) but overall very good

Great place.. food is amazing. Fast service.

Nice wraps, could do with more filling but tasty.

Had the iskender kebob, it is ok- the meat is not the greatest which really makes the dish overall fall a little flat. Service was good, staff are very nice.

Very fast service, food always fresh and delicious, dont miss Tea its imaging. Etayli service was best and explains every item what you want to eat. Vegetarian options: Little bit less options for vegetarian

Sofra Istanbul is a hidden gem in Vaughan where youre in for a treat. The 5/5 stars are well-deserved for this spot that blends amazing service, mouthwatering Mediterranean and Turkish dishes, and a cozy vibe. From the friendly staff to the diverse menu, each bite feels like a culinary journey. Bonus points for stress-free parking and the family-friendly setting with those cool low round dining tables. Sofra Istanbul isnt just a restaurant; its an invite to share good food and good times. Highly recommended!

Very nice staff and meals

Always a solid choice!

Ordered take out. Absolutely delicious, authentic, generous portions for price. Staff is very attentive to those dining in. Warm welcome. 10 out of 10.

I went there with friends. I had already eaten so I only ordered a Turkish coffee and piece of baklava. Im not normally a coffee person, so I cant judge it but I think it was good. The baklava was amazing, however, and I cant imagine getting it for a lower price anywhere in the city! My friends ordered a chicken wrap and gave me a small piece. It was good and definitely more authentic than from any chain fast food shawarma place. Id recommend!

Bit small size nominal.

All the 3+ reviews must be fake because their food was disgusting. The forcefully charge you for bottled water when you ask for regular water. The food was cold, flavourless and the meat was raw. Waste of money and time. The waitresses were also rude. Don t recommend

The lamb kabobs were so delicious along with the mashed potatoes and grilled tomatoes and pepper. The price is also worth it because it comes with a garden salad before the meal. Parking: I parked by the restaurant.

Delicious food, especially the Adana kebab. They also have several dishes that other Turkish restaurants don t have, like sarma and yayla soup. Decent prices and quick service.

The food consistently maintains high quality, though weekend service can be slow, which is understandable. Having visited other Turkish restaurants in Toronto, this one stands out for its excellent food and exceptional manager s attitude which is important to picky eaters like me besides the food. Recommended dish: Chicken shish kebab and donner

Loved the food. Quick service. Everyone is sweet and amazing. Vegetarian options: Some vegetarian options are available. Try hummus and mushroom Parking: Lots of parking Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly place

delicious food and good service

Good experience over all

Fresh Turkish food in a casual restaurant . Great place for meat lovers. There are a few good salads. Limited dishes on the menu for people who dont eat meat or cheese. I would love to see one or two Turkish vegetable dishes offered on the menu. Good service and desserts. Definitely worth trying if you never have.

Excellent Turkish food... must try for everyone. By far, they make the best falafel and adana kebeb in town.

I am so glad that i found the best food near my home and actually its one if the best budget friendly restaurants with delicious and hygienic food in North York. The taste and the portions and service they provide is excellent. I will go there every time i miss homly food.

Great food

We had two entrees, I forgot the name of the rolled ground beef but it was good. The show stopper was the Iskandar kebab, my mouth watered thinking about the next bite. Parking: Its a huge parking lot shared with other small businesses.

Great food, one of the best restaurants in Toronto.

The food here is excellent! Extremely fresh, incredibly flavourful, portion sizes are perfect, and the service was great as well. Ordered a little bit of everything (sarma, lahmajun, pide, kebab, kofte, to name a few) to share between a few of us at the table, and all of the dishes were fantastic. Cannot wait to come back!

Small place, busy, great service, good food. Turkish cigar rolls had a little overwhelming flavor of feta cheese. Maybe they need to serve it with a sauce. But the wraps, chicken shawarma, chicken shish kabob, and falafel were all delicious. The walnut baklava tasted a little burnt, so it wasnt that good, but the pistachio one was amazing.

Thank you to the establishment!

Been coming here for years Food is always flavourful, portions are very generous and the rice is my favourite - aromatic and savoury! Salad dressing is also very tasty

Great food and service. Top shawarma in town for sure!

One of the first turkish restaurants that i have ever been..Ever since they opened up i am a regular customer. Their food is amazing and the service so quick and efficient.. always serves fresh authentic turkish meals ..

Please look after your customers because some tables have not been clean.

Excellent lamb doner

One of the best turkish cuisine in town, highly recommended for all.

The wrap was good I will try something else next time Food

Great food and service. Enjoyed the pipes and iskender!

10/10! Ordered 2 chicken shawrma dinners with 0 bread or fries. Just the chicken and veggies. Honestly! Gotta say Loved the quantity! Loved the quality! Felt great after such a large amount of food! Topped it off with awesome turkish tea! Will definitely be back if in the area . Its a great place to bring your mom

The portions are great and the vegetables are really fresh. The only issue I have is that there is a lot of oil in the food that does not adds to flavour and cutting back on that would make the taste much better.

Very tasty, quickly prepared on order.

Ive been here a handful of times and the quality of the food still lives up. Keep it up and Ill keep coming! Update: Came here again, still SO GOOD

Friendly staff the food was great and fast service very pleasant

I am a shawarma lover. And there chicken shawarma definitely stands out from the rest of the crowd. Very well done. I took a plate with extra meat. But there regular wraps were made fresh on site and huge !

Always delicious. Mixed meat shwarma is my absolute favorite. My work has lunches catered by them and everything is always excellent!

The food is always fresh, hot, and delicious. The yogurt is homemade and is super filling. The iskender and beyti are incredible! 5/5 on the food

Its a lowkey spot, appearance is unassuming at first, but the food is really good, price is affordable, and the staff were very sweet and accomodating :)

chicken shawarma wrap very delicious

We had dinner today and I was very impressed by the food: the portions are generous, the food was served hot, the salad was crisp and fresh and the bread.....it was typical Turkish bread and it was amazing. I had the mixed shawarma platter...outstanding. Dessert was a Pista roll and Pista baklava. The baklava bought back fond memories from my time in the middle east... just right, not too sweet, perfect crunch, great pastry..We will be back.

amazing spot for turkish food. I had the lamb shish kebab which was delicious, hubby had the beef version and my little choose from there kids menu. I highly recommend the combo salad we devoured all the dressings and the bread was home made. If you can ask for a side go for the rice its delicious andnhas pine nuts. Fries were ok. For dessert I got walnut baklava and turkish tea. Kid-friendliness: have 3 kid options

Busy place but food was average. Server seemed frustrated about working there

Staff remember everyone and super friendly. Portions are big enough for two meals. Love it everytime I go.

Amazing Turkish food, high quality. Everything is great .

Today I went there and I was very hungry, but they brought the shawarma very cold. I asked them to heat it up, but they brought it cold. I left the food and left. The worst restaurant in Canada.

Service: As a Turkish Canadian, I was very disappointed in the service from the start, it almost felt like smiling was forbidden in the restaurant, and all the servers were very cold. When I asked questions about the food etc the server answered it almost as if they didnt wanna be there. THEY DONT HAVE TAP WATER! ( Come on guys, seriously?) Atmosphere: Its right beside a gas station, the restaurant isnt very dirty, but I wasnt expecting it to be a fine dining store anyway. Food: Besides ice kofte, everything was very oily and underseasoned. Doners( shawarmas) tastes like cafeteria food, lemonade was good, kiymali lids was the worst I tried in Toronto, the dough is good but kiyma was very bad Price: The price to taste is 4/10 If you are about to starve to death eat here, if you can drive 10 mins to another Turkish restaurant do so. Even Jesus wouldnt order his last dinner from here

I have never eaten worse Adana Kebab in my life.

Excellent food!! Went with office colleagues, almost everything was fantastic!

Been trying to call them all day to place an order for a party but they keep hanging up on me. Clearly they dont want the business. Very rude.

Amazing food !!!!
