Sofra Turkish Restaurant
Софра
An affordable halal Turkish restaurant in the alleys of Kapana, famous for its charcoal-grilled lamb skewers and kunafeh, perfect for a change from traditional grills.
This simple, unpretentious spot is located at 13 Zhelezarska Street in the Kapana district, not far from the Dzhumaya Mosque, serving halal Turkish cuisine. Charcoal-grilled lamb skewers, Beyti kebab, and Turkish flatbreads are the most popular items, with kunafeh for dessert, and complimentary Turkish tea served for dine-in guests. It opens early in the morning and is suitable for a quick meal; according to reviews, it does not serve alcohol. The space is small, so booking is advised for larger groups. The average cost is about 10 EUR, though some 2026 diners spent 18–19 EUR for a main course and dessert. Recent reviews are mixed. It is easily reached by walking from the pedestrian street to Kapana.
