Service and ambience is excellent! The food is okay, although my friend loved Bulgarian lamb kebabs. The pita is fresh and paired lovely with hummus that we ordered. The fattoush salad was alright and the dessert with doughnuts was a bummer! For the cocktails, they have a nice menu, I got the sazarak which was great! read more

Went to Safta on a holiday weekday night. Reservations were easy to come by/the restaurant was pretty empty maybe due to the end of the holiday weekend. Parking is in a structure at The Source, 1st hr free and I believe Safta provides validation. The restaurant is cute, very large, and staff is super nice, plenty of seating. Reminiscent of Bestia and Bavel in LA. THE GREAT -The best dishes we ordered were the Lamb Kebabs and Persian Rice. -The kebabs were truly excellent, the tomatoes/matbucha balance out the flavor of the lamb and the pine nuts add a nice balance for texture. -The Persian rice is also really good with the tomatoes adding a nice pop of brightness. There is a buttery sweetness to the rice (a little reminiscent of cornbread) which was different but tasty. We only wish we had ordered more dishes to go with the rice. THE GOOD - The Lamb Ragu Hummus. There is a hint of lemon or citrus that could have been distributed more evenly throughout as we only tasted it in certain parts of the dish. While the ragu does a lot of the heavy lifting for flavor, the actual hummus tastes pretty good on its own. THE SOLID - We also had babaganoush and lutenitsa which were fine. These are very solid dips but not necessarily better or more distinguished than others we have tasted. Generally the babaganousb we seek out is either more smokey or onion forward. read more

I had the pleasure of dining at Safta over the MLK weekend. We had a reservation, were seated quickly, and watched the place fill with happy diners. My family had been there before and already had their hearts set on a "few" favorites. It seemed like we wound up ordering one of everything! We had pickles -- cucumbers and okra(?) With a nicely sharp flavor that kept me coming back for more. We had tahini and labneh -- I don't know how to describe what labneh is, but it was delicious spread on the fresh, warm pita, and the tahini was smooth and delicious, too. We had Moroccan carrots and I can't think of a better way to get your vegetables! But just case, we also had a Fattoush salad. "Bright Green Falafel" was super crunchy outside and delicately soft and delish inside. I could eat this every day. Then we topped it all off with a shared NY Strip cooked perfectly medium rare and sliced just right for sharing. For dessert we had donut concoctions each with a single raspberry inside, and a pistachio Gelato that wrapped this whole delight of an evening up in one big bow. Everything we tried was amazing and I can't wait to go back again! read more

I've never met a hummus at Safta that I wasn't obsessed with. The whipped feta is a small portion but so delicious. The chicken was cooked perfectly. I highly recommend the saffron rice. But WHY do you charge for refills on an 8 oz Diet Coke? That's insane. I'm mainly putting this here so I remember this when I inevitably come back. read more

We came here for dinner and made a reservation in advance. It's located within a hotel, I'd factor in a few minutes to find the location. Really nice ambiance inside, great spot for a date night. Definitely a busy and bustling place. We ordered a bunch of dishes and split everything. The hummus with foraged mushrooms was delicious, topped with a generous amount of tahini. We really enjoyed the bright green falafel and my boyfriend is a falafel snob so that's saying something. Roasted cabbage over muhummara was delicious and beautiful. Duck leg confit was also great. Everything had a beautiful presentation and tasted great. Good customer service here too! read more

One of the better meals we've had in 2025. Loved the lamb kabobs (which were more like a lamb kafta) and the Persian rice. But the mushroom hummus was also good. And frankly the tabouleh might have been the best I've ever had (loved the dried cherries and pinenuts as well as the amount of parsley). So, basically, everything. They've earned their Michelin recognition. read more

Ordered lamb ragu, stone fruit and branzino. Lamb ragu with the pita was super solid. stone fruit with grilled onions over yogurt was too sweet and missing salt. Branzino was nice with the sauces and garlic, but felt the fish itself lacked salt and maybe a little citrus kick. Personally thought the branzino was overpriced at $60+. Bartender had some really solid wine suggestions, Furmint and Pinot Grigio (orange) Didn't like not being acknowledged within 5 mins of waiting at host stand. But once seated Staff was attentive. Bathroom review: 2.3 shared facility, women's bathroom had stalls, bright light, clean, weird soap. read more

Ordered 9 dishes for a table of 3, and everything was delicious. Stand-outs were the muhammara and the green salad (trust me - just get it - it's fantastic). Also, the stone fruit salad was a delightful surprise to everyone at the table! Only complaints are that for a restaurant premised on sharing plates, the tables are truly too small. We had to keep scraping food onto the plates of other dishes to make space for the next thing to come out of the kitchen. Also, we asked for more pita bread probably 3 times before we got any. (And, when we were first served the pita, we were offered 2 for our table of 3.) read more

We are in town for a short trip and Safta was recommended by a friend that lives in Denver. We are so thankful for their recommendation because it was outstanding. The restaurant has a nice vibe, it's clean and has a great flow with the open air rollup doors situation. Service was great and the drinks were unique and delicious as well. But the star of the show here is the food itself and let me tell you it did not disappoint. We opted to stay with the smaller plates route and try multiple things but I would definitely be interested in trying the entrees as well. We ordered the whipped feta, hummus with Brussels sprouts, and borekas to start. Then we added the Israeli salad and lamb kabobs. Everything was fresh and delicious as well as beautifully plated. 10/10 would recommend. read more

Had an amazing meal tonight with the braised lamb, broccoli, the crunchy eggplant and a few of the dips. We also got a bottle of the orange wine and it was really nice light drink to pair with our meal. Our server walked us through the entire menu and pointed out her favorites, which no doubt is the crispy eggplant. And obviously the pita is INSANELY good!

I've only been there for brunch but I want to go back for more. The brunch buffet was outstanding ! So many delicious things to eat and honestly a lot of very good vegetarian options (not that I am one). The service was awesome too and you get free teas and coffee . I thought the latkes with rosemary, all the dips/spreads, and desserts were especially delicious. read more

Second time at Safta and the food is most certainly the standout. We started with the tahini hummus and mahammara. The tahini was the perfect selection. I know the lamb ragu hummus is popular but I'd rather save that lamb richness for other dishes. The mahammara (hazelnut and chili spread) was a recommendation from our waiter, and we loved this. We then shared the crispy eggplant. Much more Italian flavors came across in this dish. Again, yum. Then we wrapped with the pomegranate braised lamb shank. Served with labneh (though I would have loved more of this!) and grapes, it perfectly balances brightness with the rich meat. All the portion sizes were substantial, having to bring a doggy bag home with us. In my opinion, none of the staff really felt like they had a passion or joy for the place, which left the service feeling a bit dull. However the whole operation was executed perfectly. The staff were incredibly attentive, smoothly removing empty plates, timing the courses, and graciously keeping the pita flowing. read more

Had lunch here with business colleagues. We split 3 sandwiches: perfectly seasoned harrisa chicken , eggplant & the lamb kabob which was like a delicious meatball sub. All 3 were tasty. My favorite was the whipped feta which tastes more like ricotta with that pita bread which was warm from being freshly baked in a 700 degree oven. I'll be back with family for brunch. So good! They just started being open for lunch. A reason to come to the area often. read more

My husband planned a surprise birthday dinner here and I had no idea or anything on what to expect. I was throughly surprised and amazed! The server brought us a glass of wine to celebrate me and my twins birthday - which was soo kind! The food.. oh wow the food!!!! You can tell that the olive oil they use is high quality olive oil. The Israeli salad, the tomatoes were our favorite part of the salad. It was cooked but not soggy and packed with a lot of flavor! The pickled vegetables were so crisp and had a good sour punch to them. The pita.. oh what do I say about the pita?! Like I would come here JUST for the pita hahaha! The lamb was tender and still had that delicious glaze on the outside of it. The duck had a candied outside and was placed on a well seasoned bed of rice. The service was good but towards the end we had to ask 3 different people for pita and that still took a long time to get. Overall, everyone was friendly! Definitely will be coming back here! The brunch is next on my list! read more

Brunch at Safta is a pleasant experience. There are so many options. I worked my way through the continental breakfast options (fresh fruit, yogurt, bagels, etc...) before moving on to eggs (perfectly poached) and dips (go for the muhammara - hazelnut, cilantro, chili oil). Other standouts include the charred cabbage (w/ labneh, dill, and orange honey vinaigrette), the shakshouka, and their latkes. Traditional things like smoked salmon and a bagel work well too. Vegetarians and meat lovers alike will find something to enjoy. The babka was good, but I didn't get too far into dessert. The staff doesn't rush you, so you can take your time. The place is overflowing with families and groups (like lululemon yoga ladies. So, there is good people watching if that's your thing. The space is clean and bright. Since it is located on the 2nd floor of a hotel, you have to know where it is. Find it. It is well worth the price. Yummy and recommended! read more

I went on a Saturday night around 7:30 pm, we didn't have reservations but we were seated at the bar right away. The cups for water and the coasters were so cute, immediately loved the whole vibe of the place. I got the ruby ring cocktail to drink; it was okay it had a lot of grapefruit juice but towards the end just seemed a little sweet/medicinal tasting. The star of the show was definitely the food! My friends and I ordered the tahini hummus to start. It came with three fresh pita breads, so so yummy and creamy. Then we shared the braised lamb, the salmon, and the crispy eggplant. All were absolutely delicious! The lamb was so tender and the sauce was sweet but not in a weird way. The salmon had a super crispy skin and was still nice and flakey. The eggplant was huge and was really tasty with all the toppings. 3 of us shared these and we didn't finish it all so we took some leftovers home. We did finish off with some dessert, our server recommended the doughnuts and so we went with that - it's filled with raspberry and served with a caramel sauce. 10/10 would recommend! Service was really great no matter who we talked to, even if they weren't our server! read more

Without a doubt this is the finest ethnic restaurant in Denver. And also the finest casual restaurant in Denver. I have been traveling to the Middle East since 1970. Morroco, Israel, Jordan. Israel is now one of the best culinary destinations in the world and I have been privileged to go there 3 times within the 5 years. Safta is a truly authentic and delicious representation of the finest in Israeli/Lebanese cuisine. read more

Delicious Israeli/Mediterranean food inside The Source Hotel. Everything we ordered was delicious, but the flavors were really bold and I felt that they sometimes competed with each other. Perhaps I should've gotten recommendations on what sides paired well with the dishes. The most subtle flavor was the Persian rice, and its richness complemented the other bold flavors well. Prices were higher than I expected. Service was friendly and food came out quickly. Restaurant was lively and nicely decorated. I noticed they had the garage-style windows that could roll up, and I imagine it's lovely to have them open during a nice day. read more

The most insane and beautiful breakfast buffet I have ever seen not to mention a Mediterranean lover's dream. It feels endless with so many options for dessert, pastries, meats, dips, crudité, breads, cheeses, potatoes, fish including a lox bar etc. There is truly something for everyone and for the set price of $50 per person this is a great deal and treat to get a good feel for what Safta offers. They kept it well stocked the whole time and everything was fresh. The decor and interior is very modest and humble but tasteful. They also have a fun bar with good latte art. I will definitely be back when in Denver. Would highly recommend whether you are a party of one or a group. read more

Staff was lovely. I want to make that very clear. Our waitress and the rest of the staff were incredibly attentive and mindful of our time constraints. The staff made great suggestions. Kept our water glasses full and the bread refilled while we enjoyed our first course. Our meal was delicious though we found we didn't need to order as much as they suggested for two people especially as the tahini & whipped feta as apps with bread was incredibly filling. As was a side of their fries which was well seasoned in Mediterranean flavors. Makes me want to try that at home. My best friend had the duck soup. She enjoyed it. Be mindful it is a very small portion. I had the duck leg confit which was also tasty. The duck was well cooked and the rice and onion mix it was plated on added a nice lift to the meal. We skipped alcoholic beverages so can't speak to the speciality cocktails. All said it was a nice meal even at the $105 check that came to the table at the end of the evening. Be aware the later into their seatings the busier the place gets. If you can manage it - get a reservation for when they open. What I think needs to be addressed - the exterior parking at the property should NOT be used! We were out before the time stated (thank you, waitress being mindful) but the way the company works with charging and placing holds is a frustrating process. I called the hotel and was told a manager would get back to me. Heard nothing. Seems the hotel property wants people to have a bad taste about their experience. I do not blame the restaurant but would suggest the restaurant, when confirming your reservation, give instructions to the garage parking and not the lot. I think it would go a long way to make your guests feel informed and avoid folks feeling taken advantage of or stressed when they see a charge four times the quoted rate. There is no reason the parking company should place a hold that high. Thru my research, when you arrive use the hotel garage not the exterior lot. Otherwise you feel rushed and will see an initial charge well above what you are quoted. read more

Safta got me channeling my inner Oprah: I Looooooove BREAAAAAAD! I don't want to discount their food but the most memorable thing about Safta is their pita bread. Fluffy huge pillows that I never wanted to end, some of the best pita I've ever had! Per the suggestion of our server, we got items to have family style. Lamb ragu hummus: very tasty, highly recommend. Whipped feta: double recommend! I just wish there was a bigger portion of this, order this! Lamb kebabs: more like meatballs, this was my least favorite item. I love lamb but found the blend to be a little too gamey for my taste. Crispy eggplant: order this! I had just gotten back from Italy and was on a high from all the aubergine I ate there. This eggplant was a perfect shareable item and the flavors reminded me a little of Italy as well. All and all, great place when you're looking for elevated middle eastern plates to share! read more

If you're looking for a relaxing Saturday brunch, Safta Denver is not the place. What was supposed to be an enjoyable meal turned into one of the most frustrating dining experiences I've had in years. We arrived with a reservation and a specific request for a prime table, made well in advance. Instead, the host insisted on seating us in the middle of nowhere, far from any charm or light, and did so with an attitude that bordered on rude. When we politely asked to be moved, we were made to feel like a burden rather than paying guests. After waiting far too long for them to "check," we never even got the new table -- and to make things worse, we just went to go pick up our own food without even getting a table. Let that sink in -- at one of Denver's supposed top brunch spots, we were literally fetching our own food while still standing around waiting for a table. The buffet, which we hoped would make up for the chaos, was mediocre at best. The selection was uninspired, the meat overcooked and chewy, and the shakshuka overly sour, as if made from canned tomatoes. Nothing tasted fresh or thoughtfully prepared. To top it off, the drinks came late, our server apologized endlessly for everything going wrong, and the bill included a mysterious 4% "kitchen appreciation fee" -- an unnecessary surcharge that wasn't listed anywhere on the menu. By the time the check finally arrived, we were more than ready to leave. Verdict: Safta may look trendy, but looks can't save an experience this poor. Between the rude host, disorganized service, bland buffet, and surprise fees, it was a complete disappointment. We won't be back -- and frankly, Denver deserves better. read more

Omg I have been to Safta so many times over the last few years (on so many dates, for that matter) and posted a ton of photos of their rarely changing menu. Still 6 out of 5 stars and one of my favorite restaurants in Denver. They are now Michelin-recognized, although no star yet. every detail about Safta is beautifully curated, from their food to their customer experience. I've loved every dish I've tried here, and it sounds simple, but the Tahini Hummus is still my favorite. The best way to dine here is with a group, ordering a few items from each section of the menu. They're great at accommodating dietary restrictions as well. I can't even highlight more items because everything is good. It might seem obvious, but make reservations in advance. Primetime dinner slots fill up. Parking in RiNo can be challenging, but there's a paid garage attached to The Source Hotel, which Safta is located in. I feel pretty spoiled living so close to this restaurant. If you ever have a chance to check it out, whether you're local or visiting, you won't regret it. I still need to try their brunch!! read more

Wow, yes! If that's all I wrote in my review I hope the pictures + the statement would say it all. Service was top notch from the start. We didn't have reservations and even on a weekday it got packed very quick. Big shoutout for everyone standing at the host stand. I counted 4 people which was a bit overkill but everyone was smiling, offering suggestions and even said if a table freed up before the 1.5 hour mark they would come find us. We made our way across from Safta and chilled on the couches in the common area and caught up and got to know some new friends too. 15-20 minutes passed and the original hostess walked over to inform us a table was ready. They sat us fair close to the entrance and within minutes there was a big line that formed at the entrance. The waitstaff was far beyond welcoming and offered even more suggestions and agreed with some of our selections. I will let our pictures do the talking. Even for a rainy day the restaurant was bright and airy. Many smiles were offered throughout the evening and dishes seemed to be expertly timed to arrive at our table. I would recommend coming here and even make reservations before arriving. Didn't realize they ended up on the Michelin guide too. Even without the knowledge of that I still dig this place. Happy it ended up on our radar and now I want to come back for the lamb ragu hummus, eggplant, meatballs or even the whipped feta. My mouth is watering! Take me back! I want to try a lot more! read more

Absolute foodie gem in denver. Very fresh and high quality. Many vegetarian options. Stars were baba ganoush and crispy eggplant. Loved the various mezze at the beginning with the fresh pita bread.

I'm a fan rom Alon Shaya. Some years ago on a business trip to Denver I made a point to have lunch at Safta, and had a lunch of bread and spreads. This occasion I made a reservation for Saturday buffet; I couldn't wait to try everything. As a YELPer I'm prepared to take pictures of the entire spread, but lost my senses because it was so extensive and appealing. The first thing I saw was the sweet treats. I grabbed some lebna cheesecake in a cute jar and lots of small bites. I then thought I was going to load up on bagels and spreads, but the bread station. Fruit station, was not nearly was appealing as the savory station with lox, fish, prime rib, corned beef, pastrami, soft boiled eggs, and more. After filling my plates, my friends were exclaiming how great the focaccia was. Round two was honey, and breads. At $50 per person, this experience was unforgettable. I found the space sunny and open. I hope to return next chance to Denver for dinner! read more

This was our first time trying Safta for Sunday brunch, and unfortunately, it will be our last. The entire setup felt more like a tacky cruise ship buffet than a refined dining experience. Many of the fruits and vegetables looked oxidized and unappetizing, and the overall presentation came across as low budget for the high price being charged. The staff behind the stations were some of the rudest and most arrogant we've encountered in any restaurant, especially the gentleman manning the cheese board table--his attitude was completely unnecessary and made the experience even worse. To make matters worse, the space had flies hovering around the buffet, which only added to the impression of poor hygiene and neglect. In short: don't do it. Safta's brunch is an expensive mess with disappointing food, sloppy execution, and staff who act like they're doing you a favor by being there. PS: This is neither a Jewish nor Israeli restaurant. read more

Incredible food at a steep price with small portions. I had heard incredible things about this place and owner and had been wanting to visit for a long time. We finally got a chance to go with our friends, who have frequented the owner's other restaurants in New Orleans. I was so glad they were there because they knew just what to order. Their salatim and hummus options with the pita are absolutely incredible - I could just have a whole meal of their dips. I also really enjoyed their cocktails. Something to keep in mind is how small their portion sizes are. We spent quite a bit of money for dinner and left still feeling hungry. I'm definitely interested in returning for their brunch buffet in the future! read more

Came here with a group of 8. We were able to book tables the day of in groups of four, but the restaurant was able to accommodate us. There is a rule that if you have a group of 8 or more you are subject to the prie fixe menu, but that was waived for us. Food was pretty good, really enjoyed the fresh pita and dips. We got the lutenista, muhammara, ikra, lab ragu hummus, and tahini hummus. For mains, we shared the lamb shank, persian rice, branzino, and harissa roasted chicken. We also got broccoli and basmati rice as sides. I enjoyed all the mains, but particularly liked the lamb shank and the parts of the harissa chicken really coasted in the spice, but all mains were good. Interior was beautiful and really has a nice vibe. read more

This is one of very few restaurants whose food I crave! I've been there a few times now on visits to Denver, and the hummus, the pita, the small plates, the drinks - everything is perfect every time. This last visit was for a birthday, and they let me give them a sparkler to put in the birthday dessert - and I'm pretty sure the waitress got a little burned from the sparks! I felt so bad, but she was so nice about it. The service is above and beyond every time, too. Highly recommend read more

Safta - First plate from Safta's brunch buffet! - Middle Eastern Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Three of us had reservations for brunch today and even though we showed up late, they were very gracious about it. Our server was Duncan and he was so efficient and made us feel right at home. He didn't even make too many comments about us having the entire table filled with plates ;) And the food - OMG- the food was amazing! It's not your typical brunch fare although they did have fresh bagels from Rosenbergs and lox with 2 kinds of cream cheese and all the fixins. The pastrami with saurkraut, prime rib and lamb shoulder were perfectly seasoned and cooked. There were scrambled eggs, soft boiled eggs, and shakshuka. So many non traditional salads, fresh fruit, veggies, baked goods and desserts, and a big variety of cheeses rounded out the offerings. I don't think I'll eat again for at least another day. Coffee and hot teas are included with brunch. I had ginger turmeric tea that was delicious. The seating area is along 3 sides of the building with huge windows. So even though the restaurant was almost full it didn't feel crowded. The entire staff was working non stop, plates were quickly cleared and the food was replenished constantly. There is a paid parking garage and paid lot adjacent and street parking that is a little scarce. Brunch at Safta has to be the best brunch I've had and I look forward to many more visits. read more

I returned to Safta in late Spring of this year. I didn't have a reservation so I took a gamble on being seated quickly rather than waiting a long time. Fortunately, they had plenty of seating at the bar. I sat on an end of the bar next to the server area and it was ideal! This was a Sunday evening as well. The bartender who served me was friendly and offered good service. She was personable as well. I ordered the muhammara (hazelnuts, cilantro, and chili oil) with pita, Persian Rice, and the Pomegranate Braised Lamb Shank. The Lamb Shank is DELICIOUS! I love lamb and this entree nailed it! I would definitely order that again. Persian Rice was OK. It didn't meet my expectations. It appeared better on the menu. I liked the flavor explosions on my palate but I felt it was dry and didn't go down smoothly. Glad I tried that but wouldn't order it again. For that hummus (muhammara), it was outstanding. I only wish I had a larger serving of it. Their hummus is phenomenal and pita is great! My bartender brought me an extra pita with more olive oil and spices. I also ordered the Kunafa for dessert. I've had this many times at various places. They truly nailed this one as well! It was SOOO DELICIOUS! I enjoyed every bite and would order this again. Overall, my bill was pricey BUT worth it. Plan to spend money here. This place is far from my home (which can be a good thing for my wallet and waistline) BUT I will go out of my way to eat here. I highly recommend Safta. It's one of my favorite restaurants in Denver. I'm very much looking forward to my next visit! Looking forward to trying other things on their menu. read more
