Sofra Urbana

Ćevapi are pretty good and so ia the burek. My friend had the Balkan burger and liked it a lot.Gotta have the coffee :)Service is great, especially considering 30 of us walked in at 11:30 right when they opened and they handle it like it's nothing

Went here for Sunday lunch and seating inside was decorated casually nice. The service was very friendly. My kids enjoyed sitting with the colorful pillows and they both liked the pizza combo and lots of drink choices. We also had the Bosnian burger and a Cevapi sandwich which were okay, we needed a lot of ketchup. We re interested in returning and trying other items.

10 piece cevapi 9/10As a Middle Easterner, I'm someone who prides themself in knowing a little something, something about spices in food. I never imagined European food could taste so good!This Bosnian/Albanian restaurant serves something you've never heard of but need to try: cevapi (pronounced chevapi)What I can only describe as explosively flavorful mini Kabobs, served in fresh baked warm bread, accompanied by a side of a mayonnaise like cream sauce with a non-spicy tomato salsa, cilantro, and red onions. The kebabs himself taste like a combination of ground beef, spices, and I suspected cilantro . The only thing missing was a little bit of spice, but I'm sure on my next visit. I can ask for a little pepper sauce. This is such a satisfying dish that I am willing to pay nearly $20 for the larger 10 piece cevapi sandwich. That time I didn't get the pizza, but I'm sure it was delicious . I'll be sure to try it again next timeTry cevapi!

Don't sleep on the cevapi, it's AMAZING. If we could order 30 pieces of the cevapi without the bread, we would. The sofra urbana pizza looked as good as it tasted. Smoked beef, baby arugula, mushrooms, truffle oil, mozarella, and parmesan, such a great combo of toppings. I'm not from the area but would def come often if I was local. Highly recommended!

This place is awesome! We tried the chevapi sandwich and it was amazing! Never had Bosnian food before and all I can say it's darn good . Will definitely recommend this place to my friends. Ambiance is nice and the service was great .

I've been meaning to try this Bosnian place after I saw my yf Arshad's review: That was 5 yrs ago. Better late than never! They serve items we would normally see at our local pizza place.Three of us shared a large Balkan pizza, a large cevapi (10 sausage sandwich) and 14 wings. First of all, the pizza was packed full of halal meats that had a lot of spices. I wouldn't say it was salty, but you definitely didn't need to add anything like crushed red peppers. Likewise, the cevapi was packed full of tasty sausages. The only downside was it was dry, even after adding both the garlic and tomato based sauces that came with the cevapi. Lastly, the wings were meaty and spicy as advertised. The food was so filling, I only ate half the cevapi, one slice of pizza, and two wings. I was stuffed! We had plenty of leftovers.I didn't pick up the food, so I can't speak to the ambiance. However, the food was supposed to take 20-25 min, but ended up taking 45 min so be prepared. The staff was nice and helpful in choosing items to sample the cuisine.I would definitely return when I am in the area (Magnolia & Warner in FV). I will dine in the next time so I can have a full experience.

I've never had Bosnian food and was with a friend who was down to try Balkan food so we ordered the burek and cevapi. The burek was just ok but the cevapi was a home run. The meat was well marinated and spiced and the bread it's served with is light, airy and fluffy. The cevapi are like a kebab/sausage. We arrived pretty close to the time they opened and their service was speedy. If I found another friend willing to try this place I would come back the food was solid.

1st time here, but definitely not the last time!! This small, quaint, clean and welcoming Balkan Cuisine was great!! The food was delicious (I was born in Jugoslavija (Srbija) and have eaten many Ćevapćići in my life and always thought my fathers was the tastiest and best, and now I found this spot where the Ćevaps are just as tasty as our family recipe... absolutely the best I have eaten in a very Very long time!! The atmosphere is also very clean, Service was very friendly from front desk to ownership being on hand to speak and be welcoming to guests. It was also nice to be seated and have the sounds of our Balkan folk music playing in the background and TV's with soccer games for those who like a little homeland sports visual.. As far as the food goes, my friend and I both ordered the small Ćevap plate (it tasted fresh, it was flavorful and portioned enough to really fill us up). We also ordered a side dish of the Cheese Burek and the Spinach Burek, both were good but not excellent, therefore I couldn't give a total of 5 stars (had I only ate the Ćevaps, a 5 star for sure). I would recommend and refer anyone to Sofra Urbana, as this place is terrific for that which I actually craved and came here for --- Ćevapćići... I'm sure everything else is good too, I will visit again and try the rest of the menu for sure!!

You absolutely need to check out Sofra Urbana! I had never had Balkan food before, and was thoroughly impressed by the offerings they had. I got the meat burek and fries, which were both so flavorful. The closet thing I can think of to compare a burek to is lumpia, but even then you need to give it a try for yourself.The place is small and quaint, but going at lunch time on the weekend we were still able to grab a seat. The Burek is made to order, so it does take about 20 minutes, but trust me, it is well-worth the wait.

On a beautiful sunny day, outdoor dining with your pup is not an easy find in OC. So when I found out that it's National taco day on Tuesday 10/02, I was all excited to head out but soon scraped that idea because the place I wanted to go doesn't allow dogs :( But all is not lost. Trifecta! I found the perfect restaurant for some serious good eats that treat me and my pup well! First of all, their food is truly amazing and hard to put into words because the flavor is complex. Their cevapi (5/5) will have your taste buds do all kinds of happy dance. Second, the burek (4.5/5) is a must-have appetizer as a prelude to the delicious cevapi (you'll thank me later.) Third, I stumbled upon a Tuesday special where baklava is 50%! Do not leave unless you have their baklava (5/5) as a finisher ( and their mighty Bosnian coffee.) Who needs taco Tuesday when you have this little gem of a restaurant? Thank you for an amazing dining experience where we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and our pup was going nuts with her little nose sniffing at the tasty mini sausage.Word of caution...they make everything fresh and will take time to prepare your order, so you don't want to be on a lunch rush and expect your food quickly.
