Safir is a neighborhood staple and offers very authentic turkish dishes. Doner wrap is delicious and the lentil soup is the best in LiC. Whatever comes out of the oven (i.e Lahmacun, spinach pide, chefs special etc...) will have you clinching your fist and saying thank you to the universe for giving us Safir. You can never go wrong with Safir. Ive been eating here for years now.

My second time at Safir and it did not disappoint! Everything I've had on the menu here is delicious. Staff is knowledgeable and kind, especially the owners. We had the Iskender and Ali Nazik with lamb, and the Katmer for dessert - recommend them all. Will be there again soon to try the lunch pitas. Thank you for having us!

Easily the best Turkish food I’ve had in NY, there is no competition. The babaganoush, doner, chicken shish, and lahmacun were amazing, they even have katmer!!! We loved basically every dish we tried. The owners and staff were warm, friendly and welcoming. We are looking forward to coming back often and trying the whole menu!
