Sofra Marylebone is a Turkish and Middle Eastern restaurant on the ground floor of 1 St Christopher’s Place. Tucked into the pedestrianised piazza just off Oxford Street, it offers indoor and outdoor dining in a lively but sheltered central London setting.
Mezze is a natural starting point, with hummus, baba ganoush, tabbouleh, falafel, fried halloumi and spicy lamb sausage designed to be ordered together. The variety of hot and cold plates makes it easy for a table to share widely and include vegetarian or vegan diners.
Lamb shish, chicken shish, chops and mixed grills form the heart of the grilled selection, while slow cooked lamb tagine, moussaka and stuffed vine leaves reflect a more homestyle side of the kitchen. Fish, pide, pasta and vegetable dishes extend the menu well beyond meat from the grill.
Turkish coffee and tea provide a traditional finish, alongside desserts and a full drinks selection. The broad all day menu, outdoor tables and welcoming approach to families make Sofra useful for breakfast, a quick lunch or a leisurely evening meal near Bond Street.
Address: Ground Floor, 1 St Christopher's Place, Marylebone, London W1U 1LT, England
