One of our favorite restaurants in Denver! The mushroom hummus and muhamarra are our favorite dishes. The fried eggplant is also great but could do with a thinner layer of goat cheese. One reason why we love this restaurant is because the servers are fantastic. Many restaurants have great food but poor service because the restaurants get too cocky. But Safta has remained humble and we appreciate that.

We really had a great time. The appetizers and hummus dishes were excellent, and the small plates were just as good. We especially loved their house-made pita bread. Of all the dishes, I preferred the small plates over the mains. The foraged mushrooms were amazing! I’d definitely go back next time I’m in town. Prices are a little high but worth for the quality of food.

Excellent dining experience from start to finish. Impeccable service. Well-curated menu of middle-Eastern staples and delicacies, presented with an attention to detail worthy of note. The depth of flavor packed into each dish was a true culinary delight.

Safta is hands down the best Middle Eastern restaurant in Denver. The pita is incredible, the cocktails are amazing, and the falafel, all the hummus, the Muhammara, the whipped feta, and the Persian rice are some of my absolute favorites. We always leave so happy.

My favorite foodie friend suggested Safta after learning I would be in Denver for a few days. I asked our waiter Phillip for recommendations and followed his suggestions across the board. The Hummus and brussel sprouts was remarkable. Everything was delicious, the food and service on point. Worth the visit when in Denver. 🔥🔥🔥

Excellent good options for small plates. The entrees were just okay though (steak was tough and chicken was bland). The cocktails were great too.

I've been getting coffee from the Safta counter for years (Ben is the best!!!), but I was pleasantly surprised to see that they've started a lunch menu recently. RUN to try this menu.
The eggplant sandwich is to die for, and I know I'll be dreaming about it forever. Eggplant fried to perfection, zesty tomato sauce, creamy goat cheese, and vibrant greens to round it all out, all on a fresh baked pita bread. I had tears in my eyes, it was one of the tastiest sandwiches I've ever had in my life.
The fries are indescribably good, too. Thick cut, somewhere between wedges and curly fries. I have no idea what the seasoning is, but it's unlike anything I've had before. The tangy harissa mayo that it comes with goes so well with them!
If you've never been here, the price seems a bit expensive, but it's truly money well spent. Portions are good; enough to fill you up, but not excessively huge. You might have leftovers if you get a side. This is definitely my new favorite lunch spot on Brighton Blvd!
My husband and I were in Denver for a weekend. So glad we found Safta. Best ever hummus lamb rags, falafel and beet salad!!! The service was exceptional. I am celiac. The waiter took the time to mark on the menu GF items and those that could be modified! 5 star experience

Random spot I found while trying to get something to eat. Glad I did. Amazing waitstaff, great food options and the vibe is perfect. Unfortunately, didn't get to try the dessert due to the dish I ordered was on point and very filling. Will be visiting again.

As absolute foodies, Safta has been on our list for a while. We have monitored over the years but never made the time to go. Recently we saw the reviews being a bit critical or non-sensical. At this point we decided to just try it and we were not disappointed. We ordered a combination of 7 dishes overall and yes it was a random Thursday, but the kitchen timed coursing perfectly for everything. Our server Duncan really made the experience for us. Attentive and proactive in our needs, great suggestions to maximize how we paired our meal, and overall just a fun person to have as a server! Really they made the experience and the food was the cherry on top. I did not book as a birthday but I did mention it was in fact my Fiancé’s birthday and Duncan had small touches to make her feel special on her special day. Everything tasted spectacular from the NA mocktails/soda to all of the small shared plates and main entrees. I think the star for us was their Persian rice, what an absolute playground of flavors. If you’re open to new flavors, you can’t really go wrong with anything in my humble opinion.
