Sofra Restaurants South Molton Street

Hüseyin Özer approaches hospitality at Sofra as a holistic art form, where the pursuit of healthy Middle Eastern cuisine dictates every technical decision in London. This philosophy manifests in a menu that prioritizes the purity of fresh ingredients, from the briny clarity of Scottish rock oysters to the complex, layered spices of the Hamsa lamb curry. The signature meze platter offers a sensory exploration of textures, featuring a smokey aubergine caviar and a vibrant, herb-flecked tabbouleh that provides a refreshing, acidic lift. Grilled lamb cutlets are seasoned with precision and brushed with melted butter, resulting in a succulent, tender finish that honors traditional Anatolian techniques. The aroma of rose petals and dried mint lingers in the air, accompanying dishes like the black cod marinated in white miso, which offers a silky, melt-in-the-mouth texture. Each plate is served with a quiet confidence, reflecting a commitment to nutritional balance and the vision of a charismatic chef.
