Having grown up in southeast Michigan, I have been spoiled by excellent middle eastern and Mediterranean food. Safta offers many traditional regional dishes in an elevated manner. It’s a simple, friendly presentation bursting with flavor. The staff are all lovely and attentive. As far as what to try, I’m pretty sure we sampled about 1/3 of the menu, so… everything? Anything? We shared everything - with four of us, we were very happy! I don’t think there is a wrong choice!
The food at Safta is delicious. I would say the best option is to get the pita and various dips. Some of the entrees that are considered family style are a little on the smaller side to share. The only thing that needs a bit of improvement is the service. We came on a Wednesday around opening and there wasn't a ton of people there but a lot of staff. It took about 10 to 15 minutes after being seated to have someone ask for our drink order and another 10 or so for the drinks to show up. It seemed like other tables were receiving a bit more priority than ours. Once we received food we had to wait again to get more drink orders in or to get more pita. Overall the food is great if you're willing to wait.
Amazing!!!! All of the dishes are delicious! Highly recommended place! As an Israeli - everything made great and correct, by following the right national Israeli recipes. Enjoyed this place a lot! Hummus is a must! Kebab and falafel - even better than in Israel !
Impeccable food, drinks and service! I went to Safta for dinner with my friends for my birthday and honestly I can’t even begin to describe what an amazing experience I had. Our waitress Rebecca made excellent recommendations, she was super knowledgeable about the menu and helped us so much. She was even able to tailor her recommendations according to our dietary restrictions. The service was honestly the best I’ve ever had! Everything we ordered was delicious including the beverages! They make fresh pita bread in house and it was honestly to die for. We ordered several different types of Hummus and the consistency was impeccable it was honestly the smoothest creamiest texture! Rebecca highly recommended the chicken and can I just say it was AMAZING! We had a total of 4 desserts and each one was better than the last. I would definitely definitely go again. I cannot say enough about how good the food, drinks and service was!
Exceptionally fresh & flavorful food. Take some time and understand what the dishes are, you will not be disappointed! Nice selection of brunch coffee and cocktails. Bonus: extremely clean and artistically decorated. Def coming back!
Everything was amazing! Very friendly and attentive service, contemporary ambience, and, most importantly, the food! This is the best pita bread I’ve ever had, it is so thick and served piping hot. We got the pickled veggies, feta spread, mushroom hummus, lamb shank, short rib stuffed cabbage and potatoes and everything was delicious! I highly recommend!
Wow! While having a very modern clean appearance, the environment of Safta is welcoming with pleasant wait staff that seem to take much pride in what they do. The options are vast, including many vegetarian choices that fulfilled my guests dietary restrictions. Every dish was picture perfect and they were always quick to restock. Thank you for providing my family with an amazing birthday brunch!
As a massive fan of Alon Shaya's Saba in New Orleans, Safta was on the "must try" list while visiting Colorado. It did not disappoint! We ordered the mushroom hummus to start, which was a delightful revelation. The falafel, lamb kebab, and whipped feta were delicious, but the stand out was the crispy eggplant. As always, the pistachio walnut baklava to finish was fantastic. Highly recommend making a reservation and visiting Safta
Dined in at Safta on a weekday night and the overall experience was amazing! It was interesting to try Israeli food which is similar to Mediterranean cuisine yet has its own flavor and uniqueness We ordered pita the BEST I have had so far - fluffy and fresh out of the oven, Lutenitsa eggplant and tomato dip. Hummus - Lamb Ragu was exceptionally flavorfulmy fav. Persian rice was so rich and tasteful. I did not quite find the potatoes appetizing since they were super dry and I expected juicy flavorful ones. Recommend you to try it once definitely!
Safta is the best restaurant I've had in Denver. I can't explain how happy I was to find something on this level. All the dishes and service were on point. If I lived around the area I'd be here every night.
