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!!

Good solid food Dining room is clean and roomy. Staff are lovely...very friendly, warm, and attentive. We were a leave group and felt very well attended to even with one very picky eater at the table. The food was all really well done. No fussy over-thinking or tweezer constructed garnishes. Excellently built flavour profiles and clean execution.

Loved the vibe, service and food. Everything was delicious. Ordered the tahini hummus and mahummara to start and then the New York strip and roasted broccoli as the main course. Recommend going with a group of ppl to try more items!

Been coming here ever since I moved to Denver ! This place is such a treat! Food is always amazing, service was great, our waiter Jen was extremely attentive. Everything was delicious and we had plenty to share among a group of 6 girls. I always recommend Safta !

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.

WOWOWOW Safta is AMAZING. Everything I ate was 12/10. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful as I had many questions about the menu. I was unsure which wine to get & was persuaded to try an orange wine that did not disappoint. I suggest going with a small group and getting 1-2 items in each of the different menu sections. Will definitely be going back and taking people when they are in town to visit.

Very good meal. Loved the mushroom hummus and babaganoush. Duck was very nice - I like the rice it was served with. Lamb shank was very tender but on the sweeter side for me. Loved the crispy eggplant. Service was on the slower side. Atmosphere is bright and inviting.

Wow. Incredible brunch buffet! We had a reservation for just past noon, Sunday for brunch and left the restaurant raving about it. The brunch buffet was one of my favorite meals while visiting Denver! From what I could tell by looking at the dinner menu, the brunch spread was basically sample size portions of their dinner menu so totally worth coming for brunch to try it all. In addition, they had a few egg dishes and delightful shakshouka. Fresh breads, pastries and pita along with the selection of cheese and hummus and what more could you ask for? It's too bad we were only in town for the weekend or we would've come back. Clean, fresh eats and delicious!

Absolutely worth the hype! This was one of the cutest spots I'd been to in so long-- the vibes were amazing and I was obsessed with the decor from the minute I walked in. The service was incredible-- the staff was the perfect amount of attentive without us feeling rushed, and very knowledgeable in terms of recommendations. The food... oh the food. I've been dreaming about the whipped feta and the lamb hummus since I visited. The carrots were shockingly impressive, and the salmon and lamb meatball small plates were divine. I have no complaints at all! The drinks were also perfectly crafted and the wine selection was excellent. In my opinion, this place is very fairly priced as well-- my friend and I left absolutely STUFFED, and with 2 drinks per person, I was shocked that our halves of the bill each came in under $85. I've been looking for a reason to go back since, and I can't wait to visit again!

My babe and I visited Safta because they have high reviews on Yelp. The Israeli cuisine was so unique. Nothing like I have ever tasted. Babe loved the lamp shank with pomegranate molasses. The lamb was so tender and melted in our mouths. I would definitely revisit next time I am in Denver, Co. The service was amazing. They were so sweet. The ambiance was very romantic and great for families.
