Sofra is a very attractive restaurant in Luxor. The food, however, disappoints. The stuffed pigeon had, literally, no meat on it and vegetables were straight from a can. The hummus was pretty good, though. Overall, not worth the trek. more

We visited Egypt 1 week ago. We had wonderful food at Chef Khali and El Masri in Aswan. We were most disappointed in the quality of both the food and the service at Sofra in Luxor. The clerk at the cashier was coughing the whole time as well. more

Egypt is not known for its cuisine, but Sofra gives you a great chance to experience it as its best. They have a great menu, wide selection and reasonable prices. Its the perfect place to escape the hustle of a trip to Luxor. Service was excellent. The only downside I can think of is that the fresh lemon juice (one... more

When we eventually found Sofra (it is in a side street) We enjoyed the food and fresh juices in the upstairs restaurant, The mango juice, Koshry and Koftas were excellent, as were the low prices. We ate here several times during our holiday and were never disappointed. We would highly recommend it for a real taste of Egypt. 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

We enjoyed the best dinner ever. It was recommended to us through friends was have since recommend it to other people we have met.
