Pool tables, great cocktails and Playoff hockey! Go Oilers!
We had a great time this evening! Food was delicious and service was excellent. Our server Puja was wonderful, so kind and welcoming. The owner stopped to chat and check in with us; clearly a staff from the top down who puts a lot of care into what they're doing. New to the area and so glad to have found such a gem this close to home. Looking forward to our next visit!
I just feel like for the area it should be better. I ordered a pizza and I've had better frozen pizzas. The mussels were flavourless and weren't cleaned properly. The beer selection was very weak. The service was great, can't fault them for that, and the patio is very nice. But the food needs A LOT of work.
Overcooked lamb burger - a disaster will never return - no attention to any detail of this meal - not worth 26 - don't come often so now I know why -
wraps are 😋👌🏼
The strategy is a winning one. The owner hires the best kind of people who have fun while they're working hard just like him. A hands on kind of guy, he is well known to see to a guests needs personally. He and his people build a positive vibe every day that the customer can't get enough of. The food is terrific (But tasty enough where some of us eat it too fast) and the drinks are great. The only drawback is Avenue Road - a diabolical street that snakes up instead of in a straight line. I sometimes get lost on the way there or home. Dan, Alex, Griffin, Tabitha, Reese, Marites, Megan, Jordan et al make it a groovy hang particularly for watching the big game. Pool tables and ping pong available in the upstairs bar. Whilst there, please be respectful of staff and tip accordingly. Many are young and putting themselves through school.
You have to be a Canadian resident from Ontario to drink here according to the chap behind the bar. Dude wouldn’t take my Texas ID because quote “how am I supposed to memorize every ID”. Honestly all the other staff seemed very chill we they sat us down. Pretty sweet welcome home, took my service down the road where they were pumped to see a Texas ID.
My favourite place to get a good hamburger and spend a nice evening with friends or family. The beautiful patio open during spring/summer. Always recommend, probably the best in the neghbourhood.

Ordered a Cobb salad couple days ago @Safari bar and grill. It was not fresh. Very little dressing which taste was off. Quite disappointed!

Had a nice time seating outside and chatting with some beverages. The food was decent and the service at the bar and our server were fantastic.
The upstairs pool hall and the bathrooms could use a renovation

Safari is our go-to place for a night of pool and ping pong with friends! The staff are super friendly and quick to serve. Music is always great (a nice blend) and not too loud. Sometimes, they let customers play their own music. The food is wonderful and they have lots of vegetarian options! The place is clean, and as a young female, I always feel safe and welcomed.

Safari Restaurant is an absolute gem! The flavors are authentic, the portions are generous, and the service is warm and welcoming. Every dish is packed with rich spices and cooked to perfection. Highly recommend the beef steak and sambusas! A must-visit for anyone craving delicious Somali cuisine!
