Sofra Turkish Grill

Head down to Northgate and you'll find yourself in a proper neighbourhood spot that's got the formula sorted. Sofra's doing the Turkish grill thing right — the kind of place where you can tell they actually know what they're doing with a skewer. You'll get decent-sized portions of lamb, chicken and veg, all cooked with actual care rather than just spinning it on a spit and hoping for the best. The meze selection's solid too, so arrive hungry and ready to share. It's got that relaxed Turkish hospitality vibe without trying too hard — families, couples, groups of mates all seem equally at home here.
