Totally packed on a Friday night, had to lean across the table to hear each other. Our server suggested we order 5 starters and two entrees for the 3 of us which felt like upselling. We got 3 starters and 2 skewers and the 2nd skewer was more than we needed. The menu prices are, like all restaurants in LA since the pandemic, dizzyingly, insanely high. Of the starters, the celery root was exceptional. The two skewers were delicious but, at the end of the day, they are undressed flame-cooked meat. We can make that at home. It seems Saffy's will be fine without us.

We had dinner before seeing a play at the Nocturne Theater (formerly Glendale Center Theater). Walking distance. Friendly staff. Great food. The servings are large, so come with an appetite.

The performers were outstanding singers and the belly dancer. The entertainment is family oriented and welcomes all ages. Jake was our server, he was friendly and educated us about food and customs. The dinner comes with several appetizers, salads, cold and hot. Plus the main dish, drinks and hot tea or coffee is included for a specific rate per person. The diner rate is reasonable and plenty of food. Come ready to have a feast with family and friends. Recommend to make dinner reservations on the weekend. Will definitely recommend and will back again.
