Sofreh

Great and unique tastes. My favorites were the eggplant dip with the bread, steak kebab, sweet potato, and roasted pickled cauliflower (the appetizer). Pretty average / would not get again I thought were the salad, cauliflower steak main entree, and catch of the day. And, did not think that the saffron rice was worth the $8.

Excellent service.
Great decor and ambience. Clean and modern.
Eggplant appetizer was great. Bread was amazing. Fried rice was good too. Beef stew was great. Lamb is a bit overrated. Was very well cooked but missed some flavor. Lamb taste was too strong, when proper spices added you should not taste lamb smell. So they could do better job on that.
Icr cream sandwich was amazing. Def must have. And custard dessert was actually good too. So overall is great. Just lamb was worse than expected from reviews.

This wasn’t just a meal. It was a whole adventure through one of the most incredible dining experiences I have had this year. I have dined at some exceptional restaurants this year in Philly, Fort Lauderdale, and NYC and I am having a tough time finding another restaurant that comes close to my experience at Sofreh. From the suggestions and guidance from our knowledgeable server to watching the executive chef finish performing last touches to the plates before offering them for service. What made the experience even better is that the staff, front of house and back of house, seemed like family which gave patrons an energy that matched the cuisine. But back to the kitchen as I was lucky enough to watch them work…I watched four people in the kitchen work in a tight space as if choreographed as they created magical dishes and flavors. The joy on the faces of the artists in the kitchen told me it was going to be a great experience because they were having a good time. It is rare to come across a place like this, with a front and back of house that made me want to put on an apron and go back to my days in a restaurant, Sofreh made me want to do just that. Today, most restaurants are chaotic without a sense of organization and the food suffers because of it – not at Sofreh. I will be back many times and intend to eat everything on the menu in the next few months. Also, the young crowd understands this is the spot and now I understand why it takes so long to get a reservation…we were some of the older people there but I stand undeterred. My generation needs to get out here and experience this amazing staff and this incomparable menu. Thank you all for a wonderful experience.

Delicious, flavorful dishes in an ambient setting. The wait staff was very helpful guiding us in the appropriate rice to pair with the beef stew. The people are friendly and the food is unique. Can’t wait to come back here and make it a neighborhood spot.

One of the hottest restaurants in Brooklyn, and we got a reservation. I thought maybe my expectation was too hight, but everyone was not too impressed. I had much better Persian / Iranian food.

There was certainly something wrong with the service. They looked like they just had a big fight. This affected our dinner experience.

If you really want to try it, I’d recommend the lamb shank. The lebanese wine is really good, and it goes well with it.
