I had read bad reviews for this restaurant, so I was a bit worried, but it was a very nice experience. Lentil soup was the best I had in Luxor, Baba ganoush the same, main course very good as well, service was fine and friendly. The restaurant is set in a popular area, and is nicely decorated. You can also... more

At first it didn't look like much from the entrance, just simply furnished, decor reminiscent of bygone days, and when the food was served, it was so fresh and tasty; the flavours definitely what you would expect from authentic Egyptian food. To add to that, the toilets were the CLEANEST in Egypt, which is saying a lot, with big blocks... more

We have just returned from Luxor and visited Sofras twice - once in the evening and once at lunch. The first time we visited in the evening and were seated in the garden area. We had the meze to start which was fantastic and would highly recommend. We weren't over excited by our main courses but think perhaps they were... more

This restaurant was recommended to us and we booked a table for two for Sunday night. The restaurant perfect for couples or families that have different tastes or those wish to experiment. The food was absolutely delicious, try mix grill (Mashwiaat Sofra) and for dessert try rice pudding (Roz bil Haleeb) with fantastic fresh mint tea. We were so impressed... more

Went back a few times during my latest trip. Sofra is one of my favourite restaurants in Luxor. Love the decor and the ambience there. You can either get a taxi there or if you are in the town turn right before McDonalds and walk straight down. Cross over main road then walk about 1 min and it is the... more

We read about Sofra and decided to give it a go. How glad we were. This restaurant has great food and great service - the waiters are lovely and friendly. I can only assume that those who found them unfriendly must have had faces like smacked backsides themselves! Honestly, these guys were the friendliest and funny guys around! I guess... more

If you want tasty Egyptian fare this is worth a visit. Went there for an evening meal with my wife while we were on an 11 day trip around Egypt. The decor is wonderfully traditional. Service was friendly and the chief waiter took the time to explain the menu to us. Food came quickly and was really tasty. Very good... more
