The Mansaf was solid with tender meat and good flavor. The chicken shawarma was very tender with good sauces and the beef shawarma was flavorful albeit a bit drier. The baba ghanoush was mediocre.

The felafel was small, but tasty. My beef shawarma came with rice, hummus and a salad, it was a lot of food and I ended up giving my salad and hummus to my dining companion.

I got the chicken shawarma platter, which came with a very generous portion of chicken, hummus, vegetable rice, a salad and garlic sauce. They brought pita bread for the table plus a couple extra samples of things for us to try - lentil soup and an after dinner sage tea. Everything was so flavorful and seasoned really well and I'd definitely recommend stopping in if you like Mediterranean and Middle Eastern food. 969 Baxter Ave., Louisville, KY

The wraps use a flatbread instead of pita bread and they are just as good. I particularly enjoyed the selection of sides besides French fries or potato chips.

We couldn't decide what to order, so we ended up trying a little bit of everything. The tabbouleh, hummus, falafel, and spinach pie were all fantastic. Every single side was fresh and packed with flavor. The sauces deserve their own shoutout. I would happily take home a gallon of the garlic sauce, and the tzatziki was just as addictive. My husband ordered the Mediterranean salad, and my daughter and I shared the kids' shawarma plate. The salad was massive with a beautiful variety of fresh vegetables. The beef shawarma was incredibly tender, and the basmati rice was perfectly cooked. One thing that really stood out to me was the hospitality. While we were there, a family came in just before closing and asked if they could still be served. Without hesitation, the staff welcomed them in and accommodated them with such kindness. It felt less like a restaurant and more like being welcomed into someone's home. You can tell there's real care behind every ingredient and every interaction. Everything tasted fresh, balanced, and homemade. It left us feeling satisfied without feeling heavy, which isn't always easy to find when eating out. Safier is the kind of place you leave already planning your next visit. We'll definitely be back.

I chose the shawarma wrap & their salad on the side instead of fries. My first bite of the wrap I said Holy S%^* lol but for real. The onions were grilled to perfection & the pickles they had inside were delicious. I will ask for extra next time. It was the perfect flavor combination & I was truly impressed with the wrap. It was definitely the star of the show. This kind of place is exactly why I love Yelp. It takes me places I wouldn't otherwise try & then opens the door for more experiences. 10/10 recommend for the wrap & can't say it enough. I ate it too fast for a picture & Ate it in silence lol

I'm always trying to figure out what I'm ordering when I try a new place, and the pictures helped a lot. Even better, the food I received looked just like what was shown online. The chicken kebabs were probably my favorite part. They were seasoned perfectly, cooked really well, and had a ton of flavor without being overwhelming. The steak was also really good. I added an extra chicken shawarma skewer and I'm glad I did because that was great too. The rice was another surprise. It was simple, fluffy long-grain rice and wasn't overloaded with seasoning, which I really liked because it let the meat be the star of the meal. The little pickled salad on the side was really good too. Their garlic sauce was also great--not overly strong like some garlic sauces I've had before, just really well balanced. It is a little on the pricier side, but after actually eating the food, I think it's worth it. Everything tasted fresh, the portions were satisfying, and it was one of those meals where you finish eating and actually feel good about what you ate instead of regretting it afterward . The restaurant itself is a smaller spot with a few tables inside, which I actually liked. It's perfect for grabbing a quick meal or sitting down with your partner without dealing with a huge crowded restaurant. Service was great too. The ladies working there were really nice, and my food came out incredibly fast--probably around 5-10 minutes. I'm a truck driver, so unfortunately I'm not always around the area, but if I lived close by I could definitely see myself coming here regularly. Really good food and a great first experience. Definitely worth trying.
