About us

A legacy of taste and passion

Founded in 1999 as Singapore's first Turkish restaurant, Sofra Turkish Cafe & Restaurant has proudly served as a culinary bridge between Turkey and Singapore for over 27 years.

Our journey began with a simple mission: to introduce authentic, uncompromising Turkish flavors to a global audience. Over the decades, we have grown not just as a restaurant, but as a destination for those who appreciate true culinary craftsmanship.

From slow-simmered heritage dishes to freshly baked specialties, every plate is prepared with time-honored techniques and the finest ingredients, preserving traditional flavors while embracing a modern, elegant dining experience.

A legacy of taste. This is Sofra.

The name

Why we are called Sofra

In the Turkish world, a yer sofrası (sofra) is traditionally a low table or tray used as a dining table. In modern Turkish language sofra means a table prepared or Turkish handmade cloth or lining set for eating a meal.

Inspired by the Turkish culture where families and friends gather around the sofra for delectable meals, we have named our restaurant 'Sofra' – we are serving you plate of authentic Turkish food on the turquoise background called Sofra, and the timeless warmth of Turkish hospitality.
