Where do I begin,

I first tried Al Safa a few weeks ago. The first dish I tried was the Lamb Haneeth. It was so delicious and flavorful. The lamb was nice and tender, as was the rice. The following week I had to try another dish. The Zurbian Lamb. It was absolutely amazing, the rice was incredible, the lamb was tender and fall off the bone. The portions are massive and prices are generous. I even tried the Chicken Zurbian and it was fantastic!

This was my second time coming here for only zurbiyan mutton rice. It's mouth warming flavors melted my little heart. this was fabulous , it's not a promotional review,it's genuin.

The ZURBIAN lamb was incredible; I would suggest it to everyone! One plate would serve me three or four meals if I were eating alone, so the portion size was also very substantial! The rice was incredibly flavorful, and the lamb melted in our mouths. Even on a Friday night, the place was packed, but the service was still prompt.
