If you haven't tried Turkish food before, now is your chance! Check out Sofra restaurant and bakery. Sofra is a BFB Taste of Memories participating restaurant and serves incredible food and desserts!

“Sofra” means “table” in Turkish—a place where family gathers, stories are shared, and traditions are passed down through generations. As a family-owned restaurant, Sofra brings authentic Turkish cuisine to Buffalo using fresh ingredients and time-honored recipes. From handcrafted pides and flavorful kebabs to delicate desserts, every dish carries the warmth of home and the richness of Turkish culinary heritage.
