It was a post Israel trip get together and at that time we were only aware of Sofra Turkish Cafe and Restaurant at Shaw Tower that offered food closest to what we ate in Israel, aka Mediterranean food.
With a group of around 10, we managed to order most of what was on the menu. The meats tasted mostly the same, leaning towards a heavier peppery flavor than I am used to. Most of the dishes came with their breads and salad so you don't have to order extra sides. I was so happy to see hummus on the menu as it is my favorite dip when I was last in Israel.
Sofra Turkish Cafe and Restauant is a lovely place for catching up in large groups. The food is different to what we are used to in Singapore, so indeed it is a new dining experience. Ambience is a little dark and old, but still acceptable, since you are there for the food and company. Request for a seat near the window for a better feel of the place.
I have learnt, you can't go to one restaurant expecting a taste of a different country. Just enjoy each food for what it is.
