I went to Safta's brunch with my family, and I was skeptical that it was a buffet, but I'm so happy it was. The buffet allowed me to try everything - and it's nothing like what you're picturing. There was constantly warm, fresh pita to try the hummus, whipped feta and tabbouleh. There was constantly fresh fruit out with honey yogurt that was to die for. While there was a ton of meats and cheeses to try from, the star of the show was the falafel. You can't miss trying it, it was the best falafel I've ever had. The vibes were great for brunch, and I highly recommend going for buffet style if you want to try a bunch of things on the menu. read more

No wonder this place is hard to get a reservation at and Michelin recognized. It is stellar! The hotel it's in also has nice vibes. The restaurant has this nice open feeling to it with a full bar (you can order off the full menu if a solo or pair dining) and then plenty of tables. I recommend coming with a larger group if you can so you can try lots of things. Servers are nice and attentive. Obviously you have to try various hummus plates. The foraged mushroom and brussels sprouts were my favorite. I especially loved the jalapenos on the brussels sprouts one. The hummus itself was creamy and rich and the pita they bring is warm and fresh. The tabbouleh was fine but nothing spectacular and it says it has avocado in it but I didn't detect it. I love muhammara and theirs did not disappoint. The pickled vegetables were nice but I also love pickled anything. Absolutely make sure to get the bright green falafels. Probably my favorite of the night. Perfectly crispy exterior with a soft warm center that I'd eat over and over again. We ordered the duck but I was quite full so did not taste it. The only reason I'm giving 4/5 stars is the scallops were incredibly underwhelming and quite bland. The scallops themselves were cooked fine but no flavor and the pomegranate sauce didn't add much. There desserts were also just so-so. read more

Eleven months after our first visit to Safta (where we gave a five star rating) we were eager to bring a party of nine to enjoy the unique experience of Safta. This time, due to the size of the party, we were limited to the "Chef Entrust" menu, offered for $70/person, with a mandatory 20%tip and 4% "Kitchen Appreciation Fee" which made the real price $86.80 each. And that price does not include drinks or dessert. The meal had to be OUTSTANDING to merit a bill for nine at $1037.88 (which is $115 each). Compared with last year at $50/person, this meal was very good but very overpriced and I really feel that desserts should have been included. In the photos, you can see the menu with comments. We are still giving the meal a four-star rating because so much was excellent. Certainly there was plenty to eat, but we felt that the meal started strong and became less special by the time we got to the mains. The hummus dishes were fantastic: lamb ragu and Brussels sprouts especially. The Bulgarian lamb meatballs were the hit of the mains. I will return to Safta, but I will not "entrust" the chef. Instead, I will split my group or take 7 or fewer persons and order à la carte from among the many delightful dishes. On the whole, I had hoped for a consistently outstanding culinary treat, and did not get those hopes fulfilled. I do not balk at spending $230 for a party of two in most cases, but here the ingredients of the dishes do not have a cost that merits the prices. read more

Fun, High-Quality Experience with a Few Misses Safta has a fun, energetic ambiance and delivers a great overall dining experience. The customer service was excellent--attentive, friendly, and well-paced, especially for a larger group. The food quality was fresh and well-executed, with good portions that are ideal for sharing and sampling. We ordered multiple dishes and enjoyed most of them, which made the meal feel interactive and communal. That said, the matzo ball soup was a miss for me. I love duck, but the duck confit in matzo ball soup just didn't work--the flavors didn't come together in a way I enjoyed. For transparency, the bill came out to around $500 for five adults and one 2-year-old, so this is definitely a special-occasion spot rather than an everyday meal. Overall, it was a cool experience with great vibes, strong service, and mostly excellent food--just not flawless. read more

Safta is within the Source Hotel location. You can find parking by the garage nearby. Free for the first hour then $8 for the subsequent hours. Booked my reservation via Resy-- so happy because it's one of the restaurants where you can get credit from having an Amex Platinum. Honestly, I was stuffed just with the pita bread and dips! My favorite was definitely the Muhammara (roasted peppers, hazelnut, cilantro & chili oil). It wasn't spicy but I like the hazelnut bits! Paired with the warm pita bread? Freakin delicious. The Lamb Ragu hummus was probably the second best dip we had followed by the whipped feta. By the time, the small plates and entrees came through, I was stuffed from the salatim. The waiter said we can keep asking for more pita! So I say tread lightly! It looks definitely busy so it's best to do reservations. The place isn't overly fancy, just like having a normal dinner with loved ones. I didn't order drinks so I can't speak to that. However, the waiter was offering to give me a free gelato since it was my birthday which I genuinely appreciated. I refused so he just comped one of the salatims I ordered. Thanks Safta! read more

It was pricey, but pretty nice. I will honestly advise to go here mainly for the appetizers, not the main course. We had one main course and honestly it was very disappointing. For the main course we ordered scallop and potatoes. The scallop was a tad bland and slightly undercooked. Very small for such a high price. The lamb ragu hummus was the star for me, very flavorful and smooth. The bread was amazing. Warm, soft, and delicious. The servers were pretty nice. Though we were wondering why we got seated at the front and nobody else got seated around us. But either way, it was nice and i would love to go here again. read more

I love the warm, comforting, delicious food Safta serves that feels both elevated and unique yet unquestionably tasty. I do wish their portion sizes were bigger that's the only drawback, the babaganoush especially is just plain babaganoush nothing too special, really good just not unreal and for $9 I wish the portion of the dip was bigger. They do give you as many fluffy, tearable pitas as you like which is lovely. The lamb ragu hummus was my favorite, silky smooth hummus with salty meat, so tasty. The muhammara roasted red pepper dip was unique and flavorful, again just wish the serving was bigger! The crispy eggplant is to die for, a huge chunk of eggplant with the freshest creamiest topping of whipped goat cheese, so tangy and the perfect bite. The matzah ball soup is just ok nothing special. I also really enjoyed the branzino paired with a tangy spicy green sauce and peppers popping with flavor. Honestly my recommendation is to just come and get full on hummus and salatim and skip some of the larger dishes! Those were the highlights of the menu and evening for me, and so filling! I found the 4% kitchen staff addition ridiculous and just lowered the overall tip accordingly. Price your food according to how you want to pay your workers so I'm not shocked by the cost afterwards. read more

Was going to try another restaurant but the wait was too long with no reservations so decided to call Safta and they had plenty of bar seating for walk-in's. Great that you get full food service at the bar as well. Another place marked off to try inside of The Source Hotel! Parking you have either the lot or the garage but a little limited. Ordered quite a bit and had leftovers for the next day lol. First was the Ikra and Lamb Ragu Hummus. Probably my favorite of the night. Very flavorful, refreshing, and addicting. Pickles are done very well and they also make the best pita when it comes to texture, flavor, and technique. Least favorite was the Duck Confit Tangine as the duck did not taste that good but crispy and tender. Sauce with the olives was good. Crispy eggplant was good but that came out last and was a little full by then. Total was $148.26 before tip and they also include a 4% kitchen appreciation charge. Can't wait to come back to enjoy this beautiful restaurant! read more

Safta is located in The Source hotel! Parking can be annoying if you are not willing to pay. Garage parking is around 8/hour with the first hour free. This is review is based on their $50 brunch buffet. Their brunch spread was amazing! You have to try the Pita Bread, it was the best I ever had. Each person has the option to get coffee or tea without additional charge. Once they got you settled at a table, the restaurant is your oyster! read more

Truly an exceptional dining experience, especially for lovers of Mediterranean food. Make reservations for the brunch buffet or dinner service several weeks in advance as spots do fill up. If dining with vegetarians, I would suggest dinner or they'll be paying for many items they can't enjoy at the buffet. But, definitely come with friends and do a tour of Israel via dip. Inside Safta, everything is intentionally elegant. They somehow manage to soften the industrial structure of the Source building with homey decor touches like charming water cups and pillows at certain tables. It's a bit tight table-wise, and we definitely could have used more surface area for all the dishes we ordered plus the bottle of wine. (Their wine list, by the way, is excellent.) But I guess that's the price to pay for allowing more guests in per service. Our waiter was tirelessly suave and gracious, to the point my two male tablemates were gushing over him every time he left the table. We ordered a sampler of dips, Crispy Eggplant, Harissa Roasted Chicken, and Persian Rice. Which to us did not sound like a lot, but we were crawling towards the finish line because those dips are FILLING. Not to mention how addicting the pillowy pita is. Literally not a sliver of stomach-space left for dessert. My favorites from the evening were the Hummus with Egg, Z'atar, and Persian Rice. The Chicken was the one dish I was left a little disappointed by as it was pretty dry and not $42 worthy. The staff truly want you to have a lovely dining experience and I plan to be back to try more of their offerings, but likely for a special occasion. read more

Safta is my favorite restaurant in Denver. Best pita and best hummus around. Also, everything tastes great! You can't go wrong with anything. read more

Safta does the Brunch buffet concept very, very well! Safta pairs Mediterranean and traditional brunch favs in a very sophisticated and most importantly, delectable way. The decor, plates, and glasses were chosen with "cute brunch" in mind. We were greeted as soon as we were sat and were given the cocktail menu. The menu did not overwhelm, as it was clear the cocktail choices were also selected to pair equistely with the buffet choices. I ordered a bloody mary, and was very happy with my choice! A glass of sparkling wine was given to everyone in the party to help celebrate the birthday girl. That was a very sweet touch to brunch as well. Pastries, bagels, breads, prime rib, cheese, meats, eggs - prepared a couple of ways, and hummus were all part of my buffet selection. Fish and a few other meats were also offered. Those in my party that tried what I did not, also gave rave reviews. My favorites were the poppy seed bagel and scallion cream cheese - it was almost like having a NYC bagel and schmear - almost! The Prime Rib was prepared excellently by the chef, so had a couple of slices with horseradish - delightful indeed. It was all so good! $50 gets you bottomless brunch - and it was worth every penny. I do believe the birthday girl had a great time as well - which of course is the most important! read more

I'll start by saying the food was great--some dishes were even exceptional. The kitchen clearly knows what it's doing. Unfortunately, the service was a completely different story. From the moment we walked in, the two hostesses were noticeably unpleasant. Instead of feeling welcomed, it felt like we were inconveniencing them just by showing up. A simple smile or a bit of warmth would go a long way--this is customer service, after all. That tone carried through the rest of the experience. The servers, the manager, even the overall atmosphere felt low-energy and disengaged. It honestly raised the question: what's going on behind the scenes? Why does everyone seem so unhappy? It's disappointing, because the food alone would absolutely bring me back--but dining out is about the full experience. Service matters just as much as what's on the plate. In the end, I won't be returning. I value both my time and my money, and I expect to feel welcomed and appreciated when I dine out. Great food can't make up for poor service. read more

WOW! first, highly recommend a reservation as this place was busy on a Monday! The short ribs were great and whipped feta was creamy and dimensional (given the vinegar and basil). The meringue was phenomenal and stunning, would be great for a birthday dessert. Cocktails: expect more essence and hinted background notes, think complex flavors not "whoah" moments.None of the flavors overwhelmed but I can imagine the drinks being refreshing on a hot day. Presentation was great! Lacking Israeli wines by the glass, but that's my only critique. Overall, atmosphere was nice and service was great. Highly attentive staff and we felt taken care of, thank you for a lovely night. Shoutout Elissa and Marisa for helping us have a fantastic night out with incredible food. Thank you! read more

HELPFUL TIPS IF IT'S YOUR FIRST TIME HERE (as it was for me): I'd been looking forward to dining here as one of our honeymoon dinners while visiting Denver. The atmosphere was very welcoming and I loved the open concept seating with a full view of the kitchen. It was fun watching the chefs in motion and seeing how the team worked together throughout service. Staff was very attentive and would swing by often. Even just to wipe away crumbs or water marks. Our waiter, Matty, was insightful and walked us through the menu with great recommendations. The bathrooms are located just outside the Safta restaurant entrance, across the hall. Here's what we ordered: * Muhammara ($12) - 9/10 I wasn't sure what to expect beyond roasted peppers but the flavors of hazelnut really came through. The chili oil was light and balanced. It paired perfectly with the complimentary pita bread. We were given two pieces and couldn't even finish but I've seen reviews saying it's unlimited if you want more. * Israeli Salad ($14) - 9/10 This was refreshing and full of ingredients I personally love. It was the perfect palate cleanser alongside the richer items on the table. * Matzo Ball Soup ($11) - 5/10 Never had this before but I don't think I'm a hug fan of matzo. I know it's an acquired taste and I'm glad I tried it, but the texture just isn't for me. I also expected more duck flavor. Mine only had a couple of very thin strands. If you're curious, go for it but it wasn't my highlight. * Bulgarian Lamb Kebabs ($22) - 9/10 This was the star of the show. Super flavorful with hardly any gaminess and something I'd definitely come back for. The dish came with three pieces and the sauces (tahini and matbucha) were excellent. Doubles as dips for the pita. I'd definitely come back to try other items on the menu. This meal experience is worth the trip! read more

Went to Safta as I have heard people saying wonderful things about the Israeli restaurant in Rino. Upon arriving I noticed how detailed oriented the staff is and the top notch service they provide during dinner was prevalent. We started with many dips from hummus to whipped feta. These were amazing and the fresh unlimited pita was delicious. After that we had the chicken which had okay flavor but was very dry. We would not get this again. For desert the amazing waitress gave us free gelato since it was our anniversary. This was the highlight of our dinner. Keep in mind this restaurant is in a hotel, but perfect spot for a little date night that is different from the usual. read more

On my wife's first night meeting up with me for some rest and relaxation I gave her some options to choose from for where we would dine for the evening. And she chose Safta, we arrived without reservation and we were seated promptly at the bar. My wife decided for some things for us to share which was the whipped feta appetizer, the Persian rice and the chicken for our main course. Everything was amazing, seasoned and cooked to perfection! For libations I had the Belgian non-alcoholic beer and my wife had the red wine which was not on the menu but it's from Armenia and this was the bar tenders recommendation. My wife absolutely loved this wine. Overall, this was a wonderful meal and I highly recommend this fantastic restaurant! read more

10 Stars!!!! I came here for lunch and it was perfect. The atmosphere was modern but classy and the service was excellent! The food is on another level if you enjoy Mediterranean dishes. Start with the Lamb Ragu hummus; followed by tabbouleh, baba ganoush, and koosa. This is an entire meal itself with the fresh pita bread was amazing. Lastly the falafel and Lamb kabobs will be a home run to finish your experience here. THIS IS A MUST VISIT! read more

This place had been on my to try list for a while so when I saw it on Amex's new restaurants reward program I booked it! Ambience is great, the restaurant is beautifully done. We sat right next to the prep kitchen so got to see the yummy food going out to be served. Food was decent but definitely expensive. Service was just ok! read more

This place had been on my wish list for a long time, and I finally stopped by to try the hummus. I ordered to-go, so I can't really comment on the service or ambiance, but everything was packed nicely. The hummus was good, though the falafels were a bit bigger than I prefer. The roasted cabbage and muhammara were easily my favorite items- so flavorful and well done. I do wish there was an option for a quick falafel pita where you could customize everything inside. A few more veggies on the side would've made it even better. That said, given its big presence in Denver, I'm definitely willing to give it another try, maybe for brunch next time! read more

Safta used to be my favorite place to go for brunch, I would tell all the out of towners to go, but the food and the service has severely gone downhill. The food was cold & the service was really bad. We ordered drip coffee, came out cold and when we asked the waiter if we could heat it up, he questioned us as if we were lying. Honestly the only good thing was the bread. There was a time where I looked up & didn't see any waiters on the floor. Was waiting over 5 minutes, I had to go up and find someone to get our check, no one was to be found, so I had to ask the kind man rolling bread to get someone. Kinda crazy for how expensive the brunch is, you would think the service would be top notch! Extremely sad for me to say, but we will not be returning. read more

I had been wanting to try Safta for a while, and got treated to a Birthday Brunch. Safta is housed in the Source Hotel and is in an area full of windows to showcase its incredible AYCE buffet. Quaint glasses with etched designs and floral prints hold your choice of still or sparkling water, as well as select cocktail items or the complimentary bubbles provided for my table as part of my birthday celebration. What a treat! My eyes were definitely bigger than my stomach on my second trip to the buffet, and I was careful not to load up on too many carbs to save room for dessert, but Safta has many tempting baked goods. Velvety Greek yogurt is served with a variety of berries, nuts, honey, and jams. Then, you can select from an assortment of bagels and schmears (I passed). Fresh salmon, as well as white fish salad or just plain white fish, are options, along with multiple preparations of eggs. I highly recommend the shakshouka! Fresh and roasted vegetables, accompanied by various dips (tahini, tzatziki, baba ganoush, and harissa), as well as meats and cheeses, are available at the end of the buffet. I did grab a quarter piece of the pita that was being made. It was fluffy and airy, making it a perfect vessel for the dips and white fish salad. It is like a game of Tetris to place your food on one plate strategically. My suggestion is to take a look at the buffet before grabbing your food. The bakers were bringing out desserts, so when I saw the fresh tray of cookies, I knew that was my chance. I grabbed a Snickerdoodle, one of my favorites, and it was fantastic. I was too full to partake in a second, sadly. At $50 per person, for the high-quality selection of food and attentive service, Safta is well worth the splurge. I was treated like a queen on my birthday. read more

I have been to Safta as part of a large party and as regular diners. They were both wonderful experiences. If you're in a party of 8 or more, there is a prix fixe menu at a set price and you get to sit at a wonderfully large table. Everything we had at the party was wonderful. When we went as regular diners, we ordered the foraged mushroom hummus, falafel, stone fruit, and lamb kebobs. The meal came with unlimited soft pita (yum). Every dish was truly so delicious - I would recommend any of those dishes. The falafel particularly stood out because of how perfectly crispy on the outside and soft and flavorful on the inside it was. It was plated on top of a sauce that also took it to the next level. We actually had a good amount of leftovers too and they still tasted delicious the next day. The atmosphere is airy and upscale casual, not stuffy at all. There was music playing at just the right volume to fill the space, but not disturb your conversation. I particularly loved the open kitchen and big windows contributing to the airiness. Our waitress and all other staff we interacted with were a delight. Made our experience that much better. read more

This was our first time visiting Safta's weekend brunch and it was incredible! They have such a wide variety of dishes: -breads: focaccia, challah, sourdough, bagels, fresh pita -dips and spreads: multiple kinds of cream cheese, hummus, baba ghanoush, muhammara, lutenitsa, labneh, tahini, zhoug, etc -meats and smoked fish: prime rib, lamb shoulder, pastrami hash, whitefish salad, smoked sable, smoked salmon -vegetable dishes: latkes, roasted potatoes, roasted cabbage, cauliflower, various salads, pickled vegetables, crudite -eggs: scrambled, shakshouka, sunny-side up, soft boiled -cheeses, yogurt, and fruits -desserts: brownies, baklava, halvah, cheesecake jars, cookies, babka, coffee cake, croissants, and more We really enjoyed everything we tried and were impressed by the freshness and quality. They were constantly making fresh food and replacing dishes. We particularly liked the roasted cauliflower (so flavorful and in a creamy but light sauce), prime rib (perfectly tender and paired well with the dips/spreads), pastrami, smoked fish, pita (made fresh and so fluffy), and dips (baba ghanoush and muhammara were standouts). It is a bit pricey at $50 per person before tax, but the quality and variety justifies the price. The restaurant itself is very nice and open, with lots of natural light. We found the service to be good. Plates were taken from the table quickly and waters were refilled often. Overall, this was a very nice brunch for a special occasion! read more

Safta continues to be our family go to place for special occasions. This time, a birthday celebration. We love sharing and Safta is the perfect place to enjoy a wide variety of Mediterranean specialties. Dinner began with an assortment of appitizers including hummus with lamb, house made pickles, labneh, lutenitsa (roasted eggplant), whipped feta and Moroccan carrots served with warm fresh pita bread. Next, we had a couple of small plates, crispy eggplant and Persian rice. Our main courses included harissa roasted half chicken and the whole branzino. Everything was fresh and delish! My favorites included the house pickles, labneh, whipped feta, carrots and OMG.. the branzino! The only item I was not thrilled with was the crispy eggplant. It was a little over fried for me, but still very tasty. I highly recommends Safta and don't forget..... they have the BEST brunch in town... read more

The restaurant felt very intimate and modern, with both our hostess and server being incredibly friendly and helpful. We were talked through the menu since it was our first time coming in and recommended a few dishes, to which we ordered the brussel sprout hummus, whipped feta, Persian rice, and lamb kebab. The dips and pita were fresh and flavorful, and incredibly addictive! The Persian rice was warm, nutty, crispy, and dynamic. Favorite bite of the night! The lamb kebabs were also savory and yummy, but a little pricey for 3 portions and splitting among 3 people. The drinks and dessert were also delicious and refreshing, with nice citrus notes! Would love to come back for the buffet or another dinner here again read more

I came to the 2nd floor of The Source Hotel to get a hot Matcha Latte. I discovered that Safta is now offering lunch from 11am-2pm daily. I took my hot Matcha Latte and was seated for lunch. Large airy space mostly facing east. The menu is Middle Eastern with an Israeli flair. I sat opposite the open kitchen counter where I could see fresh pita being baked in a wood fired oven. I was served by Fatima. I asked and she offered several recommendations. I started with the Beet Tahini dip with EVOO and a hot pita. Yummy. I got an non-alcoholic beverage of Strawberry Cardamom with NA bubbles for $5. Very nice. My entree was a large fried eggplant served in a pita with seasoned steak fries served with a spicy harissa mayonnaise. Hot and filling. I added a 2nd NA beverage, the Pistachio & Cherry Gazoz. Also very nice. You can make dinner reservations thru Resy especially on weekends. Weeknights usually don't require reservations, but will be needed in Spring/Summer. They have garage type doors which can be opened in warmer weather. The Source food hall is next door with Smok BBQ and Cimera is on the top floor. read more

Been wanting to try this place for long time and happy we did. Forgot to capture all the photos of the meal but it was excellent. Wait person was exceptional as he was able to give us good guidance on how to order for our party of 4. I didn't get photos of the whipped feta, Muhammara and lamb ragout with bread which was truly outstanding way to start. I also have to give a shout out to NaNa's Martini which was delicious. We also had the bright green falafel, Persian Rice and Wood roasted broccoli rabe. The only disappointment was the broccoli rabe. Not as flavorful as all the other dishes. For dessert we ordered Malabi which is a custard and there was a walnut cake special for the holidays. Both were excellent. We are only sorry we didn't order the lamb shank which was a special and crispy eggplant, ,but now we have a reason to come back. read more

This brunch was awesome. Expensive but worth the splurge every few months. Don't waste your time starting at the baked goods. Skip over and head to the Mediterranean feast! They have an assortment of Mediterranean dips from hummus to babaganoush that are delicious. They have different pickled veggies, pita, cheese assortment, eggs, and about 3 to 4 options of meat. Everything is very filling. My favorite was the summer salad, very refreshing. Its busy and sometimes you have to wait in line for food, but everything is fresh and made to perfection. At the end, the baklava hit the spot. Everything tastes fresh and the drinks were good as well. Our plates look messy because we could be glutinous. But so worth it!!! Try it all.

Mediterranean brunch; deliciousness. I'm not a fan of American brunches, but a discovering a delicious Mediterranean brunch spot in Denver has been quite the treat. The restaurant is cute and aesthetic, and the food was plentiful and delicious. For the brunch hours, they didn't have that much staff but they were still cleaning our table and tapping off our waters in a timely manner- it was packed!

I love Israeli food and try to dine at any Israeli restaurant in any city. This one was recommended and it didn't disappoint. I even had great Israeli wine. We ordered a lot of food for two people. I will simply list and make simple comments. Labneh- loved but I know this is unpopular but I liked their pita but didn't love. Motek in Miami has better pita. Falafel- yummy and awesome Borekas- this is a must order they are so good Persian rice- not as tasty as I would have liked Half Chicken- if I could find this recipe I would make it for company. It was delicious! read more

Tables are very small. Our group of 4 was seated at a table that truly could not fit more than 2 people, especially with the abundance of small plates/family style. We had 3 different servers constantly at the table trying to consolidate our plates as we ate which was a little chaotic and distracting. The food was pretty good but not incredible. The harissa chicken was bland and begging for salt but, quite juicy and well cooked albeit underseasoned, The bronzino was delicious although I do wish the partial deboning was a bit more complete. The muhammara and hummus were the best bites of the night. The whipped feta was the worst bite of the night, just a congealed glob that was texturally unpleasant. I would definitely skip the feta and chicken if I were to return. They brought two pieces of pita for all of us. We requested more and they came to the table with 2 pitas but only gave us one and walked away unapologetically. 1 pita per person would have been common decency. The service was less than stellar, the food was mediocre and the seating was cramped and uncomfortable. cost we ~$85 pp for this meal including everything pictured plus 1 Non alcoholic beer, 1 glass of wine and two cocktails.
