    Grilled Chicken Breast Plate
    Smrithi S.

    We were walking by this place and decided to try it. We weren't too hungry so decided to share a Grilled Chicken Breast Plate. The Grilled Chicken Breast Plate comes with 2 Chicken Skewers, rice, pita, hummus and a garlic sauce. The chicken skewers were juicy and tasty. We liked the garlic sauce and hummus that came with it.

    We walked here from work for lunch on a week day and it was a great choice! They had plenty of seating available to fit a large party and the atmosphere was laid back and not too loud. The chicken shawarma was quite good and came out quickly. It was very heavy on the garlic, which could be either a good or bad thing depending on your taste.

    Good service and solid food! I enjoyed my experience and like that it's near the Capitol. I got the shish kabob plate to share with my partner, which included 2 skewers of meat of your choice and rice, a side salad, pita bread, and hummus. The hummus was really good and a highlight for me. My only critique of the plate is that the meat was a bit tough/dry. Good spot to check out though if you're in the area looking for kabobs. It's family owned!

    Well, no to the Shish Kabob Beef. Meat was tough and tasteless! Such a bad combo! Yes to the Gyro sando and salad! Service was still awesome! So I'll still go back!

    The restaurant is cozy; the service is wonderful. It's run by a family, they are humble and attentive. The food is very good. I just wish the pita bread was made fresh. The hummus was creamy, a little too thin but very flavorful. I like the location, it's in the heart of Capitol Hill. We parked at the parking lot nearby; it was $14 for all day parking.

    Still in exploration mode after moving downtown a few months ago; it seems impossible to try all of the restaurants within walking proximity. It's been awhile since we had Mediterranean cuisine, so this place was definitely on the list. When we arrived we were quickly greeted and seated at one of the window tables. The inside is welcoming and full of natural light. The staff was super, prompt and genuinely grateful. The menu, QR code at table only, was full of the usual suspects for Mediterranean cuisine. After much vacillation, I finally decided on the Hummus and Meat entree with Gyro meat. I had to try their Falafels, so got the appetizer as well. My wife Janet D. ordered the Lamb Shank. Holly $&@!, the food was very well spiced and super delicious. The lamb, exceptionally tender, could have been eaten without teeth. The falafels were awesome, shaped like donuts and not the usual balls. The hummus texture was almost too smooth, but still fantastic. Overall a killer experience and has become our go to Mediterranean restaurant.

The staff is very welcoming and helpful. The food is fantastic and the portions are generous. Prices are very reasonable. We shared the Baba Ganoush to start. This is pureed, baked eggplant. Here tahini and pomegranate molasses were added. I am not a big eggplant fan, but this was phenomenal. The presentation was gorgeous with the puree spread out beautifully on a large dish, topped with olives, paprika, parsley, and a very generous dollop of delicious olive oil. An outstanding version of this dish. We received a large plate of very fresh pita triangles to go with the baba ganoush. These were great. We definitely used them to scrape every speck of eggplant off that platter! We both ordered the Gyro Plate. The gyro meat was very authentic, extremely tender, and very flavorful. The plate included a large tower of savory rice, a rich tzatziki sauce, a nice side of silky hummus, some pickled vegetables, and more pita. Another delicious offering and a huge portion. We also had soup as the entrees come with soup or salad. My friend tried the lentil soup and said it was flavorful and tasty. I had the tomato soup which was hardy and richly-flavored. This was a great meal. There's a pastry case with a choice of many Middle Eastern desserts. My friend selected several to take home and we staggered out of the restaurant with lots of leftovers that will make a delightful lunch tomorrow. A wonderful experience.

It comes with The house salad with Greek dressing and there was also hummus included. Overall I'd give that meal a 2.5/5. We also ordered chicken shawarma plate and rate it the same. This is my favorite type of food but this place was mediocre. I'm not sure if they were having an off day because it was my first experience here.

    I went to Safta's brunch with my family, and I was skeptical that it was a buffet, but I'm so happy…read moreit 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.

    No wonder this place is hard to get a reservation at and Michelin recognized. It is stellar!…read more 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.

That was Incredible as well! Try a side of the Harrissa in the zhug sauces to add a little fresh heat! The restaurant has great ambience with some Moroccan type vibes and a great patio. There is a 20% service charge automatically added to every check which is what it is. But for this level of flavor, it's worth it plus tip!
