I’m from NYC and I’ve eaten Mediterranean food at some suburb restaurants. I must say…this place is not good. Mediterranean food is full of flavors…I don’t know what this place is but Mediterranean it is not. Platter was enough rice for 5 people, 1 dry chicken kabob, and soggy salad. Literally water was pooled in the container. I ordered a side of tabouleh and if there were other ingredients in it, they were getting their ass kicked because all I could taste was parsley. Also, roughly chopped pickles in tabouleh? I’ve never had that before. Is that a thing? The only thing good was the pita bread. Spent $30 on dinner and ended up tossing it and eating leftovers from yesterday’s dinner. Again, this place is NOT GOOD.

I was a little hesitant at first to come here, but it was worth doing so.
The food? Fantastic with great portions, the pita's fresh! This place gets the red hat of approval!!!

Uhhh. Yes please. In town for work and got the chicken shawarma plate and a kofta kabob wrap to try... They close at 8 and I stopped in a bit after 700p and took my food to go. I was happy to find them. They were busy with a lot of phone orders and handled it well. The food came out fast and was delicious. 10/10 recommend.

Treated less than human for following directions for their online orders. I will never return here or pick up a delivery from here. I said hello, said thank you, and have a nice day. I received nothing but silence and dirty looks. No one forced you to work there. Maybe had some pride and treat everyone the same. This place is shameful.

> I went to Safier excited to finally try their shawarma after seeing so many good reviews, but my experience was really disappointing from start to finish. When I got to the counter, I learned they only had one meat available — chicken. No beef at all, even though their menu clearly lists two options. I asked about it and the cashier was curt and unhelpful, which set the tone for the visit.
I decided to try the chicken shawarma sandwich anyway, expecting the usual fresh veggies and sauces. What I got was a very dry pile of chicken with some sauce inside pita bread — no lettuce, tomato, or pickles at all, despite what their own menu shows. The chicken itself tasted overcooked and bland, and without the vegetables it felt heavy and unbalanced.
For a place that’s supposed to specialize in shawarma, this was really underwhelming. I’ve honestly had better shawarma at mall food courts where I went in with low expectations. I left feeling like I’d wasted both my money and a meal. I hope they take feedback seriously, because right now Safier isn’t living up to its reputation. Also place was dirty! Lets hope the owner steps it up.

I ordered a Greek Chicken salad with humus and rice. The only good item was the rice.
My favorite restaurant in Louisville! Safier has the best hummus I've ever had. Practically life-changing. I have never had something from Safier that wasn't incredible, and I've had most things on their menu at this point. Pickles, rice, chicken shawarma, falafel, beef---it's all amazing, fresh, and super fast. They have service there down to a science.

Hands down the very best Hummus I have ever had. Try it and you will never want store bought humus again. The chicken is also amazing!
