A multi-regional Middle Eastern restaurant in East Hollywood, from Chefs Ori Menashe and Genevieve Gergis of Bestia and Bavel.

Why they're an Icon

    MICHELIN Bib Gourmand2022

From the OpenTable editors: Of Ori and Genevieve Menashe’s three restaurants, Saffy’s is the most laid-back—but still has a laser focus on technique. Dig into shareable plates like wood-fired lamb and beef shawarma, hearth-grilled lobster tail skewers, and 18-hour spiced short rib in a gorgeous dining room that pays homage to mid-century Morocco. Playful cocktails and a Mediterranean-focused wine list add to the always-lively vibe.

    Carina is an outstanding manager. We had arrived to our reservation which was running late and were quickly greeted for drinks and thanked for our patience. Carina did an amazing job offering us top tier hospitality and service, providing us a taste of the many delicious bites on the menu from her own favorites. As our first visit, she made new guests feel like old friends. She provided an incredible dinner experience, thank you.

    Loudest meal I’ve ever had. The food, service and vibe of this place are really fantastic! Unfortunately I have to lead with how incredibly loud it was! The noise level definitely negatively affected our dining experience in a significant way. We were a party of 4 (my husband, me, my 24 year old son and his girlfriend). We had young & middle aged ears that really could not hear each other or the server. Very frustrating as we were excited to have a nice dinner together catching up. It was really unfortunate. I believe most of the restaurant seating wouldn’t be as loud as where we were seated. There are two table tucked in behind the bar and right next to the side of the open kitchen. They sit inside an arched alcove space. All of this creates a very loud seating arrangement. The other table had 4 young people seated at it and at one point one of them literally yelled, “It’s so loud in here!” The good news is the food & service were top notch. We tried several different things on the menu and all were delicious. Full of flavor, unique and yummy. The stand outs were the humus, the cauliflower, the lobster skewer and the beef wagyu skewer. We would probably go back, but if seated in that 2 table alcove would ask to be moved or would simply not eat there.

    The food was fantastic and service was excellent. I highly recommend the dining experience here. It reminded me of my favorite middle eastern restaurant in London.
