Sofra in Bochum

I've eaten a lot of doner kebabs. I was only passing through. But this doner kebab really surprised me. Top 3 best doner kebabs I've ever had.

The food was mediocre. After the meal, the staff didn't clear the table. You had to stare at them for several minutes and get their attention before anyone came. All acceptable... However, the prices are outrageous. I ordered a doner kebab with feta cheese. They charged an extra €2 for the feta, which wasn't even noticeable on the doner. Mayonnaise and ketchup cost €1.50, and a portion of tzatziki costs between €4 and €6+. The prices are simply outrageous. The explanation "restaurant, not a snack bar" is understandable, but it doesn't justify the exorbitant prices, which are many times higher than what would be reasonable. Other restaurants offer this kind of service for free. Never again.

We've been going to this "restaurant" regularly with a large group for years and have witnessed many changes. These days, the food is outrageously overpriced for the quality. The service is unfortunately poor, and the waiters are inattentive. The ambiance is also uninviting, and it's colder inside than outside because the door is always left open. At least there are patio heaters outside. It's a real shame, but we won't be coming back.

The food is very good; we always try the kebabs and they’re consistently great. Most of the staff are nice ,some we’ve known for a long time and they behave professionally. Some newer staff still need to improve their customer service. There is seating both indoors and outdoors, and in winter the outdoor area is warm. The biggest problem is that in summer, the indoor area becomes really hot because there’s no air conditioning, and if it’s also hot outside, it’s hard to stay for long.

Very delicious food and very good service, top taste to the food.

Great atmosphere and top service. The food is also first class! 👍🏽

The food, the meat and the service were very good; the boss smiled and took care of everyone.

The food was excellent and the service was simply top-notch! A big thank you to all the staff and the restaurant manager for the warm and welcoming atmosphere. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit.

A 10/10 – the food, the staff, everything was great!

We ate here on a Saturday. The food is okay, but the prices are exorbitant. The worst part, though, was that I was charged €6.50 for a portion of tzatziki to go with my Adana pudding. That's unacceptable. On top of that, it was freezing cold in the restaurant. Absolutely not recommended. Update: We were charged for takeout even though we ate in. Tax fraud!

The food was delicious, but when it came time to pay, firstly I had to wait a long time even though the restaurant was closed, and secondly, I was given an amount (off the top of my head) without being given a receipt.

Simply delicious.... Anyone who doesn't want to go here has only themselves to blame...

We were visiting (on vacation) and stumbled upon this place. We work in the restaurant industry ourselves and were very impressed. The service was very friendly and attentive. The food is definitely plentiful. Bread and dips are automatically brought before the meal. The portions are more than generous. We were full and our plates weren't even empty. Highly recommended – a great Turkish restaurant.

So I ate here today and ordered a portion of doner meat for €12; even my daughter wouldn't have been full after that. Besides that, the toilets weren't clean, and there was no toilet paper.

We had a very delicious family meal. The service and price are very good.

I discovered this place for the first time today. The food is really delicious overall. I chose Adana kebab and ayran and was very satisfied. The kebab is served with salad and meze. They also offer freshly baked, warm bread from their own stone oven. After the meal, they even offer complimentary tea. They work very cleanly, and the kitchen is completely open and visible to everyone. The prices are average compared to the rest of the place. Overall, I really enjoyed my experience. If the service staff were a bit friendlier, it would be absolutely perfect.

I went there with the kids to eat and we got two doner kebabs. For €8.50, I expect more than 80g or 100g of meat in the doner salad. I could count it, the chicken was dry and came without sauce, and charging €4 for a drink is totally excessive. A small portion of ketchup was charged at an additional €1.50, which is money that goes elsewhere. I'm really disappointed. I understand that prices have gone up, but when I pay €8.50, I'm even willing to pay €10 for a doner kebab, then I expect the contents to be correspondingly good.

Avoid this place. They're useless and just rip you off. Zero customer service. You'll be better off just buying a kebab.

We invited family over for dinner. One dish was completely forgotten. We ordered a new one, and they had already finished the first one, and it was the wrong dish. They didn't even offer an apology. The food is also expensive for what's offered.

Average food at above-average prices. I found it incredibly expensive and unfortunately nothing special.

Sofra Bochum – a culinary masterpiece! The ambiance is pleasant, the appetizers are fresh and bursting with flavor – hummus, ezme, and the like are simply top-notch. For me, the Adana is the best in Bochum, the Ali Nazik and Iskender are divine, and even the doner kebab is gourmet quality. The owner is a true restaurateur – attentive, warm, and always present. Add a good raki or wine, and you'll completely forget you're in Bochum. In short: Anyone who eats here leaves with a smile – and is guaranteed to return.

The service was very friendly, and the food was simply delicious. Hopefully, the pictures speak for themselves.

The food was delicious; I ordered a doner kebab. I didn't have to wait long for my order, and the restaurant looks very cozy and nice.

Not bad, it will be ok if they try a little harder👍

I haven't had such an excellent meal in a long time. I ordered the grilled meat platter. I initially thought the price was a bit high, but I haven't been this full in a long time. It came with a large flatbread and salad with a bowl of three dips. Excellent value for money. I'd be happy to go back anytime 😊 Super friendly staff. 👍💯🥰

The food is of very good quality, which is also reflected in the price. Nevertheless, the value for money is fair considering the portion size.

Delicious food, friendly staff, would go back.

Excellent and the food was flawless. I thank the young man Saadoun for the service and hospitality.

Too bad. I ate there once. The doner kebab skewer was empty, which can happen sometimes. The food was delicious. Ordered today, and after a 64-minute wait, the delivery was canceled without comment. Now all the shops are closed, and I'm going to bed hungry. Customer service is different.

It was very crowded, and the waiters were overwhelmed. We sat for about 20 minutes and not a single server came.

Never again. We ate there for the first time yesterday, and it was definitely the last time. Not only was the food not delicious, but they also brought us the wrong things and then tried to charge us for them. And we've both had serious stomach problems ever since. Our waitress was very friendly, though.

The food was delicious, but the service could be improved. But we'd be happy to come back.

We were very satisfied. We were there yesterday. The portions were very generous. The staff was friendly. We will definitely be back.

All the waiters were friendly. The food was excellent. Very, very tasty. I just found the drinks a bit expensive.

Some of the best Turkish cuisine in Bochum!

By far the best Turkish restaurant. You can tell it's a new operator. 1++++

Not recommended. The waiter greeted us extremely rudely right from the start and literally threw the menus in our faces. The restaurant was completely empty, and we received barely any attention. Furthermore, the staff kept arguing with each other, which ruined the atmosphere. I paid €7 for an extra portion of tzatziki…outrageous. The value for money is simply not there! The portions are generous, but the food isn't exactly mind-blowing. The Adana was very greasy. In the end, I paid almost €70 for two people—unbelievable!

We had the mixed grill and beyti sarma with bulgur wheat – both were absolutely delicious! The meat was beautifully tender, juicy, and well-seasoned. The homemade ayran was also delicious. We'd love to come back!

Super good, friendly and very nice

While looking for lunch, we spontaneously stopped by Sofra. The place seems inviting and clean. The food and portion sizes were good, although I'd imagined my lamb ribs to be a bit meatier. But that was my only criticism. They offered three dips and bread on the house beforehand. That's always nice. Inside the restaurant, there's a display of pre-made but still raw skewers being cooked directly on the grill. You can even watch them being cooked. Nice touch. 🙂 The servers were friendly and efficient. I highly recommend Sofra. The price is also unbeatable! 43 euros for two people, and we were more than satisfied. Perfect!

I've eaten at the Sofra restaurant 6-7 times within a year – and I've been absolutely satisfied every time! The waiters are consistently friendly, very attentive, and accommodating to every request. Whether you have questions about the dish or special requests – you simply feel well looked after here. We come all the way from Bottrop and happily drive all the way to the Bermuda Triangle in Bochum just to eat here – that really says it all! The food is excellent, the portions are generous and filling. The prices are absolutely reasonable for the quality. A particularly pleasant feature: you never have to wait long for your food – the service is fast and well-organized. There are also always delicious house appetizers beforehand, such as fresh bread – a lovely touch that perfectly precedes the meal. The atmosphere is relaxed and inviting – you can sit both inside and outside. Even in cooler weather, heat lamps outside ensure a cozy time. Payment is also flexible: cash or card, whichever you prefer. One thing is certain: My wife, our family, and I will continue to come to Sofra regularly in the future. A definite recommendation for anyone who appreciates good food, great service, and a harmonious overall package!

Not a high-class restaurant, but down to the earth and tasty food with big portions. Very tasty homemade Ayran. Would go there again.

Super delicious food, very fresh and top quality. Service very friendly and fast. Good value for money 👍🏻

We were served by a professional and friendly waiter. The food was generously portioned and the flavour was very much on point. Ingredients tasted fresh and the veggies were well-charred. Overall a very good experience and can't wait to come back again.

Very, very good service! Super friendly staff😊 Food tastes delicious and is reasonably priced

Very tasty, fair prices and friendly staff!

A particularly good restaurant - the pide is baked to perfection, the grill is also excellent. The service is quick and friendly.

The taste was a disaster, hardly seasoned. Fries were soggy and tasted like they had been warmed up. Rice was totally sticky and soggy. The portion was smaller and we forgot our salad. When we asked, they brought us something else. The portion has nothing to do with those in the pictures. The good reviews are hard to understand and the store is also dirty. The garbage is lying around on the floor in a corner.

I absolutely cannot recommend this restaurant. I'm still here right now and I'm really disappointed. I ordered Şiştauk with bulgur because I was very hungry. After the first bite, I knew there was something wrong with the bulgur - it was sticky and had a sour, spoiled taste. I tried it a second time and it was clear: the bulgur was spoiled. When the waitress came, I told her that. She just said “ok”, took the plate with her and shortly afterwards brought the same plate back to me – only with rice instead of bulgur. I ate a little because I was hungry, but it was just disgusting. Even now I still have the unpleasant taste of spoiled bulgur in my mouth. Furthermore, the water bottle was not opened in front of me, which is completely unusual and unacceptable. Drinks should always be opened at the table. My husband ordered a meat mix, but the kebab meat was burnt. Overall, it was a very disappointing and unhygienic experience

Great shop. Service very good. Price performance is really very good. Desserts are also very tasty. At the end there was tea on the house. There are enough seats. You can also sit outside

There is nothing to complain about!

Very disappointing - never again! I was really shocked at the conditions in this restaurant. There were mice running around - absolutely unhygienic and disgusting! The food was also bad, carelessly prepared and tasted a disaster. I cannot recommend this restaurant to anyone. Health department would be appropriate here!

The meat is full of fat and hardly edible. In addition, the ambience of the mice crawling from one couch to the other in the back of the dining area is simply disgusting

Tastes really disgusting meat was almost raw

The restaurant is located in the Bermuda3Eck in Bochum. Depending on the time and day of the week, you should go in to eat because it can be very loud. The food is great and the portions are sufficient. Points are deducted for service. Service was very friendly and relatively quick, but unfortunately some people were more concerned with private entertainment, with other guests, than with the service. It should be possible to at least ask when a drink is empty if you want a new one. Unfortunately, payment by card is only possible with a debit card. No credit card. Good thing we still had cash with us. All in all, recommended

First time in Bochum with the family! Turkish food is always good, but everything here is highly recommended! Good value for money. The grilled skewers are excellent, the service is very friendly, and the food arrives very quickly! We would definitely come back again!

I rate a kebab plate. Visually, the restaurant and the food are top notch. The service was quick and friendly. The price was perhaps 2 euros too expensive but the portion was large. The taste was ok, the meat was juicy, the garlic sauce was tasty but overall there was no punch, both in the meat and in the salad dressing. A little more power and the fifth star comes from me too :)

Overall the food was ok - portions are large. Recommended.

Yesterday, I traveled from Nettetal to Bochum to attend a concert at the Matrix. A friend and I wanted to grab something to eat beforehand, so we decided on Sofra. We had the doner kebab plate and were thrilled. The portions were huge, and the value for money was excellent. The staff also gave us a warm welcome. We'll be happy to come back next time we're in Bochum.

The demise of another Bermuda dining establishment! Nothing has been right here for a few months now. Neither the food, nor the service and especially the cleanliness. Everything is missing. It's a shame Sofra

We had to wait 1 hour and were forgotten! Not good service...and way too crowded.

Service is awesome! Due to the substandard service, I would not recommend this restaurant under any circumstances.

Very tasty food top service 1A quality

Nothing to complain about, friendly service, great food. I'm happy every time I eat there.

By God I don't understand why it's so empty?! The food is bomb, of course the ambience isn't the best, but if you want to eat tasty and inexpensive food, this is the place for you. Greetings to the nice service :)

Everything was very good, meat and pitas were very good, service was very good, the price seemed a bit exaggerated to me.

The two of us had dinner there in the evening. The service was very friendly. The atmosphere is very pleasant. The lamb dish was really tasty, a large portion and served hot (charcoal underneath). You could eat slowly and comfortably. The dish always stayed really nice and warm. We can definitely recommend the lamb dish. However, I was quite disappointed with the kebab bag. It was very small, a little more expensive than elsewhere and not tasty. It was truly one of the smallest kebabs in terms of contents that I have ever eaten. Nevertheless, I can definitely recommend the shop, but definitely not the kebab bag 😉

Really good food! Delicious and very large portions and huge starters served at the table

Very tasty food and good service

Food, service and the location were very good. Gladly again and recommended.

The food tasted very tasty and was prepared quickly. Absolute recommendation…!!!

Unfortunately, the taste and service have deteriorated. Why don't you maintain the quality and hospitality? It's a shame Sofra

I had the shop in mind as a good place for a head soup, but after the change of ownership there also seems to have been a change in quality. While the staff is still largely polite, the order arrived incomplete and lukewarm. Furthermore, there seems to be a drain in the outdoor seating area, which is why it smelled like sewage throughout. Understandably more than inappropriate for eating. Furthermore, guests who were behaving much too loudly were not pointed out by the boss after other guests were pointed out. On the contrary, the boss apologized for the inconvenience caused by the loud guests on behalf of the other guests. An impudence that I have rarely experienced before in the catering industry. It's a shame it used to be a beautiful corner of the beautiful Bermuda Triangle.

Grilled food was super tasty. The bulgur wasn't really my thing, but as we all know, tastes differ. The service and the ambience were good. I can recommend

I just went to this restaurant with my girlfriend to grab a bite to eat. We were also warmly welcomed and assigned to a table. That was the last time we saw staff at our place and we left after 15 minutes without even getting the card!!!! Please avoid the store!

We ate very well in the current Sofra. The staff is very nice and accommodating. Everything fresh and very crunchy. The fries were seasoned well. The kebab meat was only slightly fatty and well seasoned. Salad is also recommended. In summer you can sit outside and look at the Bermuda Triangle. But you can also sit well inside.

First of all, I would like to thank its friendly staff for its cleanliness and delicious food. It is a comfortable restaurant where you can come with your family💯💯

Perfect grilling experience. Very nice service, very nice terrace in the Bermuda3eck. The food was excellent and very tasty. Thank you for a nice start to the weekend

Great food, quality and quantity were perfect. The staff was very nice and the orders came quickly. I'll definitely be back😘

Very good location. If the weather is good, you can also sit outside so my dog ​​could be there. The food is excellent and the Ayran is absolutely great. Clean and cozy. The staff very friendly.

I waited for over ten minutes but waiters kept walking past despite making eye contact. Very amateurish.

Great food... it was so tasty and very filling. very friendly, attentive staff. I can only recommend it, even though the Bermuda Triangle offers a wide range of different restaurants. For me it was the best choice today. Given

Best Adana in Bochum. I asked for sumak and my colleague simply brought me the spreader and sprinkled it on my kebab for me. 10/10 again and again

The food was impeccable. It was very tasty and warm. The portions are more than generous. The service is very attentive and most of them were very nice, with one exception. Overall, we can highly recommend the restaurant :).

I have to say the food was ok, the service was overloaded, we had to wait 10 minutes to pay the accounts. Otherwise the ambience was ok, especially the toilet facility was clean. 👍

The short 1.60m waiter is extremely unfriendly. We sat down and at first we were bullied as to why we just sat down. You should let us know in advance. OK, how should I know the easiest way for you? Then he didn't clear the table and we had to wait 15 minutes for service. Then he took our order incorrectly and after we only got 2 dürüm instead of 3, he blamed us for ordering incorrectly. I'm really never coming here again. Dürüm wasn't that great either and fell apart straight away.

Hello, I would like to give you feedback on my order today because unfortunately I was not satisfied. On August 31, 2024 I placed an order that consisted of a kebab special and lentil soup. Unfortunately we had to wait more than 30 minutes, which was significantly longer than expected. Atmosphere inside was also not air conditioned. I also noticed that other guests who arrived after us received their orders earlier. I am disappointed because I did not receive a plausible explanation for the delay. Also, the amount of meat in the kebab was less than expected. My colleague also didn't like the lentil soup. I hope that such incidents can be avoided in the future. There was no compensation either. Never again

Unbelievable, me and my colleague waited for 2 orders, we waited 35 minutes.. is not recommended

The food is so bad Some waiters are careful and some don't even care...

The food was very tasty, hot and flavorful. And there was so much that we still have food for tomorrow 😁

The best Turkish restaurant around here! Price-performance ratio is great, the portions are large. The food tastes excellent and is very authentic. Dear Dilba served me and recommended a dish, which was really great. She is very friendly and attentive. I'll definitely be back! Thank you! :)

Great restaurant. Incredibly delicious, the Adana skewers are unbelievable. Service is very good, the employees take care of you immediately and the food is on the table quickly. Price/performance is completely clear. 100% recommendation.

Tonight my husband and I were here for our date night. We ate the Adana skewer with yoghurt and what can I say; it was simply delicious. The salad came separately before the meal, which I particularly liked. Everything was fresh, hot and delicious. The homemade ayran was absolutely delicious. The staff attentive and friendly. We will be back definitely. Top restaurant in the Bermuda Triangle 10/10 👌🥰

I would like to inform you that I ate in your restaurant yesterday and I had the food that I couldn't finish packed up. However, when I got home, I found a nail in my rice. I would therefore like to ask you to exercise caution when packing food as it seems that you do not want your guests to take their food home.

Very tasty grilled meat, large portions, cozy atmosphere

So far, I've gotten the wrong food every time and always wait 20-30 minutes for 2 kebabs

Forever waiting times, almost always getting the wrong order!! You can't eat inside, food always comes after almost an hour and then they bring the wrong thing. Not worth recommending!

There were three of us here. Order taken quickly, food was ready quickly. All three of us were served the meat lukewarm and we thought that was a shame. We were hungry and didn't want to bring it up. Otherwise, the portion was tasty. Our table was immediately next to the entrance grill side and was constantly bothered by small flies that kept flying out of the light shaft (cellar). Totally annoying (maybe put a tarp over it to stop this from happening). There were also a few wasps - but there's nothing you can do about them. After we had eaten, we were asked if we wanted to leave soon as three older ladies were looking for space - well! I was missing the question “whether we enjoyed the food or whether everything was OK” and that’s why there was no. Tip - Sorry! Despite negative points - you can eat very well here.

The food was again super tasty. The portions were plentiful. You can tell that the “dips” are prepared with love. The kebab is not a purchased "meat skewer", but rather homemade. My wife and I always like to come here to eat something delicious.

We were there with the family and it was very full, despite this we were served very quickly and in a friendly manner by the young lady Dilber. It was our first time at Sofra and we ordered on the recommendation of the waitress and the food was top 😋. The kids liked it too and we will 100% be back 👍🏼
