About a year ago, a new Turkish restaurant opened down the street from me in Palms.  I was overjoyed at this and especially happy when I saw that they were open late on weekends.  Unfortunately, I went pretty soon after they opened and was kind of disappointed with the results.  Lucky for them, this was before I started a meat blog, so when I finally got around to paying them another visit recently, it was my first chance to give them an unvegan review.  The restaurant is called Sofra Kabab Express and although “express” is typically applied to fast food restaurants in airports, this is nothing like one of those, even encouraging people to hang around and smoke hookah (nargile in Turkish).
