About Us
Welcome to Sofra Kitchen
Where Mediterranean Tradition Meets Minnesota Hospitality
Located in the heart of Arden Hills, Sofra Kitchen is more than just a restaurant—it’s an invitation to gather. Inspired by the traditional Turkish "Sofra" (a term for a dining table or a shared meal), we believe that the best memories are made over plates of vibrant, nourishing food.
Our Story
Sofra Kitchen was born out of a passion for the authentic flavors of the Mediterranean and the Middle East. We saw an opportunity to bring something fresh and soulful to the Arden Hills community: a place where high-quality ingredients and ancient recipes meet the fast-paced needs of modern life.
Whether you’re stopping in for a quick, healthy lunch or settling in for a relaxed dinner with family, we strive to make every guest feel like they’ve been invited to a private home.
What We Stand For
* Authentic Flavors: From our hand-carved gyros and savory shawarma to our vibrant, house-made hummus, we stay true to the spices and techniques of the Mediterranean.
* Fresh & Local: We believe great food starts with great sourcing. We prioritize fresh vegetables and high-quality proteins to ensure every bite is as nutritious as it is delicious.
* Community First: We aren't just located in Arden Hills; we are part of it. We take pride in being a local gathering spot for neighbors, students, and professionals alike.
Experience the Sofra Way
At Sofra Kitchen, we’ve traded "fast food" for fresh food served fast. Our menu is designed to be customizable, offering a variety of bowls, wraps, and platters that cater to every palate—including plenty of vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options.
