We absolutely loved the food here. Everything was very flavorful and delicious. Their service was very friendly and helpful. The staff ensured that the allergy requirements were met.They have good combinations of options and everything they made was very good. We ordered Boneless chicken (white meat), and chicken shawarma, which comes with one or two sides. The meat was very soft and you could taste the spices. We got tomato soup and hummus as the sides. You can judge the quality of the meddetranian food based on how good their hummus tastes. For Sotta the hummus had the right combination of oil and lemon. It was very tasty.Overall, a great place to eat and we would definitely go back here.

Service is outstanding, the staff was very helpful explaining the menu items. The food is incredible, fresh vegetables, and hearty portions. I had the Mediterranean salad with white meat chicken. The chicken was moist inside and charred outside, and the veggies were fresh and crisp, absolutely perfect. My wife had the chicken kabob wrap with dark meat and loved it. The apple tart was good, but I will try something else next time. I highly recommend this restaurant, even if you dont know about Mediterranean food. Something here for everyone. I will definitely be back.

Awesome food! I had the chicken kabob (dark meat) plate, with greek salad, rice and hummus. Prepared with perfection! Great customer service, and the chocolate cheesecake was so yummy!

I really dig this place. The food was delicious. Its a little pricey, but the food did last me 2 meals. The staff was also very helpful in pointing out vegan options and asking the cooks to double- check things without me having to ask. Also, the teas are friggin amazing.I recommend the roasted veggies.

The chicken and rice was absolutely delicious! Great flavors all around! The coffee was average. The prices are about $4-5 too high. At $12-13 per plate, it would have been much more competitive.The cheesecake sadly was old. Difficult to even cut through. At $4.50 per slice, it should be fresh. Hopefully this was just a one-off.

I love Mediterranean/Middle Eastern food and now get kinda worried trying new places because I have a few favs having tried several average local places. I must say that SOTTA is a new fav! Very impressed with the execution of the this restaurant, food is great and atmosphere is also super casual nice and relaxing.

First off, the service was quality. Very refreshing.Got the fillet mignon skewer with a side of tomato soup and sautéed mushrooms. And the lavender lemonade~ The tomato soup was lovely, not too tart and goes well with the pita. The mushrooms were fantastic, they were soft and well seasoned. The mignon chunks were of good portion and cooked medium rare, could have been a bit juicier but with the garlic and mushroom it balanced out well. The lavender lemonade is just a tad sweet for me but overall really good notes of lavender and the lemonade wasnt to tart/sour for me.At the time of this post, indoor dining was permitted. Spacing was fair and as the store got busy it did not feel dense. Masks are required when placing your orders at the counter.

Excellent shawarma and wraps. Lovely lavender lemonade. Everything was fresh and delicious. You order at the counter and they bring the food to your table, so the ambience is casual. They also have seating outside.

Sotta is a great muti purpose cafe - great for just coffee or a quick drink, but equally great for a (casual) Mediterranean lunch / dinner!

Salads are amazing.Very high quality food.Steak tasted amazing and the chicken as well. Very good selection of salads and plates.Some of the plates are a little too pricey for a regular work lunch tho.Oatmeal cookie was okay. A little too spongy for me but was still okay.

Went for dessert and wine at 8:37. I hate plastic ware, and dessert was in Togo containers. I think, perhaps, it was late and the dishwasr went home. But desserts were great. I would go again... just earlier.

Review №27

Amazing restaurant tucked away in a quiet neighborhood. I started with an iced mocha. It was perfect! I then had the beef kabob (koobideh). It was moist and delicious. I got the dolma side order and they too were great.My wife had the dark meat chicken kabob. The rice was also delicious. It was very moist and flavorful. The pastries were very tempting, but we skipped them this time.My only issue was that I feel the price was a bit high for a single skewer plate. I guess you are paying for the quality.I would recommend this restaurant to my friends.

I placed an order on Doordash and received notification that they were substituting a chocolate chip cookie in place of the carrot cake bar I ordered. I called the restaurant and was told my order hadnt left yet, and they would put a lemon bar in. When my order arrived there was no dessert at all. No carrot cake, no choc chip cookie, no lemon bar. When I called back, I spoke to the same guy, who, after I explained who I was, said oh, oops. I guess you order already left. I have another call, sorry and put me on hold. That was it. No resolution, no help.

Came here for lunch (work 5min away on Olive Ave). Ordered to go so I can take it back to the office. We waited what felt like 15-20min, someone saw we were looking around so they asked what we were waiting for, told him my name, he said okay looked like he checked for our food then walked off.Few minutes later we noticed 2 people get their food that ordered before us. So I asked for them to check on my food, they asked for my name (again), they checked and said oh its right here. I asked How long has it been sitting there? She said oh idk, ive been walking around.I was going to have them remake it, but my colleague felt bad so we just took it and went back to our office (again 5 minutes away). I only ate half my sandwich because it was barely warm by that point. French fries were completely cold.Great waste of $30 and time.PS. I saw flies in the bakery food display and they serve people that food (not just for display). Sad that this place is so close to work but Ill never likely come back here.EDIT (Because I cant comment back):I mentioned we waited 15-20min so people dont think Im overexaggerating the time, because Im not complaining about cooking prep time. However, there was no attention to to go orders at all. The lady said someone should have called out your name when it was ready but no one had (there was no one else waiting so no chance we missed it).Secondly, their food clearly looked like it required cooking. Unless chicken is not cooked.Lastly, you mentioned my food being on the counter for under 2 minutes. So how long was it ready in the kitchen? Before it was prepped for pick up. I opened the container and put the backside of my hand against the rice and meat and it felt warm, not like it was just cooked...I mean, the plastic container was barely steaming...lol. Regardless, like I said, only reason I didnt make them remake it is because my colleague wanted to head back.And again...flies.

This is the best salad place in Burbank BUT!!!! My last salad was boo boo. My greens were limp. They looked old, and frail. I just ate the protein and dumped it. Maybe covid is affecting their supplies. Ill give another chance.

Sotta was a delicious place to have dinner and Im happy to have such a great restaurant so nearby in Burbank. Sotta has traditional Mediterranean dishes with an updated and modern flair and I can definitely recommend their desserts, too. I had a delicious falafel wrap that had a perfect addition of crunch from Persian cucumbers and a yogurt tahini sauce. For dessert we had the giant cookie and creme Brulee bar and both were the best of the best. Prices start from about $12 for a wrap and the service was great.

Cute and cozy little cafe. The food was delicious. I tried the falafel wrap and the lentil soup. Very good flavors. For dessert I had the petite New York cheesecake and chai tea and my friend tried the tiramisu. Very very good! I would definitely recommend this place and for sure I would go back to try other items from the menu.

Was visiting friends in Burbank and they took us to Sotta for lunch. We LOVED it. I had the Mediterranean salad and added chicken, it was really delicious. Other had the kabobs, shwarma and wraps. All of us loved our lunch and were smart enough not to eat it all so that we could take some home AND save room for their equally delicious desserts. I cant wait to go back and visit my friends so I can have them take me there again.

Quality and service has plummeted here lately. This used to be a 5-star location but the past few months it has become utter garbage. Chicken continues to be raw. Filet is rubbery. And, to top it off, the manager is extremely rude. She does not value loyalty or customer service, and should probably be fired for losing business. Chalk this up to a 0/5 star contender. Fyi, they are also incredibly slow, so enjoy!

My family loves the food here. We order food for pick up often because we love it. The tomato soup is SO GOOD! I love the garlic sauce served with the food! And the deserts are always yummy. They even have coffee and expresso drinks and beer and I think wine. I don’t drink either so not much help there.We love the combos as they include meat, rice, soup and pita bread. Plenty of food for dinner and for me lunch as well. They have other sides but that’s what we order.Making me want soup right now actually and it’s 80 degrees outside.

The server that took our order was very kind and helpful with the menu since it was our first time there. My boyfriend and I both got the filet mignon wrap with French fries and Greek salad. Due to COVID regulations we had to sit outside which was fine because it was a beautiful day. The food was amazing and filling. A little pricey but worth it.

My boyfriend and I were looking for somewhere to eat Mediterranean food while on a bike ride. We really love places that are quick and easy and this place was exactly that. This is a restaurant where you order your food at the counter and then they deliver it to your table. (No servers) This is great when you dont wanna wait for a table or do not need served throughout your meal. The food was delicious and the service was great and speedy. I had a pita wrap with fries and a greek salad. Everything was fresh. After my meal I had a red velvet cupcake that was super moist! I definitely wanna go back for brunch and have a glass of wine on their patio.OH! They have a full coffee and dessert bar as well!

Had lunch here before flying out of BUR. Ordered the chicken and kobideh kebabs which were excellent with sides of garlic sauce, salad and hummus. The kebabs were done just right, crisp on the outside, juicy, and flavorful with spices. The interior was casual. Service was quick in spite of a busy crowd.

Review №88

Food is overpriced for quality.. soups are cold when they arrive, same with pita, rice, and meat. Not to mention this restaurant is ENVIRONMENTALLY UNFRIENDLY. Please stop your non-alcoholic drinks in single use plastic, especially for dining in customers. You clearly serve all your alcohol in glass, so I dont see why you can offer the same for all drinks.

Followed another reviews advice and got the dark meat chicken kebab with two sides and added a second kebab to split. Perfect amount of food for the two of us. The chicken was super moist and delicious and everything was seasoned perfectly. Their drip coffee is balanced although a bit stronger than a diner or doughnut shop. I loved it with a couple of teaspoons of half-and-half. Not too crowded in the afternoon and the service was fine for a counter order and table delivery joint. Weve been 5-6 times and our experience is consistently good.

I was really pleased by Sotta. We waited a long time before trying it. It looks like a very fancy restaurant but it’s actually a laid-back sort of counter-service vibe. That said, they do bring your order to you and bus your table. The food was great. Excellent spicing, and reasonable portions. Prices are very fair.
