"The daytime sibling to citywide Mediterranean favorites Oleana and Sarma, Sofra is the place to go for sweet and savory Lebanese, Turkish, and Greek fare just after sunrise. And now thanks to its new bigger location in Allston, there’s more elbow room to spread out and enjoy proper breakfast time instead of just grabbing something to go. The shakshuka is excellent, as is the Turkish-style breakfast with soft-boiled egg, feta, and veggies, and the asure, a flavorful pudding made with chickpeas, milk, rose water, and apple butter." - Nathan Tavares
