There was seasoning, but it wasn't very strong and the flavors were simple and almost on the more bland side. I will say, however, that the serving sizes are huge and very generous. I enjoyed the mango juice and yogurt dip. Both were fresh and yummy! I added the yogurt and cucumber dip to my plate and it elevated it for sure. Service was attentive and the food did come out quick! The restaurant was clean and had a decent amount of space as well. Not sure if I would come here again, but I do love supporting a small business.

I was excited to try after watching a documentary on the Somm channel about that specific winemaker. The wine was delicious. Additionally, I was so happy to see small boutique wine from the Santa Barbara area like Amevive and A Tribute to Grace. Our server Yvonne guided our menu choices thoughtfully and enhanced our experience with excellent service. We started with watermelon feta salad with baby cilantro, walnuts, and harissa oil. The watermelon was cool, sweet, and crisp and the flavors balanced perfectly. If you are a pickle lover you must get the pickles. I think I will be dreaming of them. The pickled cabbage, okra, califlower and snap peas were just the best! The pitas were puffy, but not hollow, and warm. There was also an olive oil dipping sauce that complemented everything. Star of the show for me was the forgaged mushrooms and hummus. These were the most delicious mushrooms and snoothest hummus I have ever experienced, and I think there might be magicians in the kitchen. Our other dishes were cabbage and eggplant. Both taste explosions, done masterfully with a sauce, color and texture. This food is truly incredible, highly recommend. I am in Denver for work, anytime I travel back to Denver I will for sure return to Safta.

Everything feels meant to be explored rather than just eaten. And the passion fruit pavlova? Absolutely get it. I am NOT a soda kind of gal, but the strawberry cardamom soda was the exception. So unexpected, refreshing, and delicious. This isn't just a place to grab something to eat--it's an experience. Go hungry, order a bunch of things, share everything, and experiment. Definitely a must-try.

It's Persian food, so not exactly the same as the menu at your standard Middle Eastern places, but don't be afraid to try something new. They do their takes on kabobs, stews and marinated meats, and they are very good at all of them. They want you to have a different experience than the typical hummus and shawarma places so let them take you to a new part of the world. There is a liquor license, which might be a little surprising, but don't forget to try their black tea as well. We've had good friendly service when we've gone, and this will continue to be one of our preferred places when in this part of town.

We ordered a side of grilled veggies expecting maybe one skewer, but it came as a full plate. The char on the vegetables added a delicious, authentic touch. We also tried all three desserts: the baklava, the funnel cake with donuts, and most especially the rose ice cream with crushed pistachios. The ice cream had a soft, homemade texture and a delicate floral flavor that really stood out. Portions were huge, which we love because we enjoy having leftovers. The place is clean, walk-in friendly, and the staff was helpful and attentive. We'll definitely be back!

Both were fresh, flavorful, and the portion sizes were generous. Unfortunately, everything else missed the mark. The chicken kebabs had an unexpected sweetness that just didn't work for me. The side salad looked wilted and didn't seem very fresh, and even the dressing was overly sweet. The rice was bland and had almost no flavor. The biggest letdown was the garlic sauce--it tasted like it was made with mayonnaise instead of a traditional garlic sauce, and I found it unpleasant. The overall atmosphere didn't help. The restaurant didn't seem particularly clean, the décor and ambiance felt like they had been thrown together, and the employees came across as disconnected rather than welcoming or engaged. I can easily overlook a place that's been put together on a budget if the food is outstanding, but in this case, it simply wasn't. Aside from the lentil soup and hummus, I didn't enjoy the meal. Based on my experience, I wouldn't recommend this restaurant.
