It's been 2 years that I moved to Denver and in the two years, I've heard so much about Safta but somehow never managed to come here! Now that I have dined here, I get it!You have to get the lamb ragu and murmurrah- both brilliant! I can't believe how amazing the lamb here was. The pitas are fresh out of the oven and they're fluffy - yes fluffy!! This is not your regular pita , This is probably the best pita I've had in my life (bold, yes)!Drinks were good but I think they can be better - mine was pretty strong so I surely want to explore their cocktails more. For mains, we had the lamb tagine and harissa chicken! You have to get the harissa chicken - so tasty! The lamb tagine was good but I liked the chicken better- very flavourful! We were bummed that the crispy eggplant was sold out and so I surely want to come back for that.Service was superb and the price point is great too! I definitely am coming back and recommend you check it out!
We visited Safta on a busy summer night, and the place was packed. Service was a bit slow to come take our order but food came fast. The various hummus are amazing, especially the one with lamb ragu, and the curried cauliflower one. Their pita bread is by no means what my middle eastern family would call pita, but it’s absolutely delicious (and dangerously addicting). The eggplant dishes were great (we had both). The charred cabbage was interesting but not sure I’d order it again. The low note was the kofta dish (overcooked, burnt into the pan - maybe too much going on and the kitchen missed the timer?) Overall a great meal. Highly recommend.
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!
Without a doubt one of the best meals I've ever had. Everything we had was incredible. The staff is very polite, welcoming, and knowledgeable. I recommend asking for their opinions on the menu.
We had such an amazing experience that we went again the next day. Upon seeing us again the manager offered us a free desert too, Really Thank you for that. It's an amazing restaurant, be sure that you have a reservation. The falafel were the best I have ever had. All dishes we ordered were amazing, can't wait to try the whole menu :D
Wow. Simply stunning examples of delicious Israeli street food. Simple decor, good service. I will be back!
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.
After a long day working, we decided to dash out at 8:30 for dinner and were so lucky (apparently) to get a reservation. We began with cocktails and made as ordered, Labneh (delicious), the mushroom hummus - mushrooms were so delicious, the most amazing pita bread straight from the wood burning stove, falafel, a crispy fresh fattoush, a must get duck matzo ball soup and fabulous harissa chicken. I love a unique and flavorful matzo ball soup and this one delights and I can honestly say is one of the best I've had - a must order. Actually, I'd order our lineup here, which fed the three of us and you will not be disappointed. A must stop by next time I'm in town.
The best hands down in Denver. It’s my second visit, but the pita here is to die for. Fresh made in to a balloon on the stove! Amazing vegetarian food! The hummus to babaganush, and cauliflower is the must. Many choices can’t go wrong! It’s always must for my trip to Denver!!
Five star eating - unusual and greatly enjoyed. The hummus starters were excellent - lamb ragu and tahini with warm, soft and thick pitta. Mains of falafel, cheese borekas, fried halloumi, wagyu beef makmoura and pomegranate lamb shank. So why four star? Only the price: $80 per head was our most expensive restaurant in our Denver visit.
