Having been to Bavel many times, it was nice to try Saffy's. While there are some similarities, I loved the uniques food -- the Saffron Muscles, Humus choices and kabob's are a must-- the less noisy and smaller sized restaurant was appreciated. The menu offered wonderful choices. The vibe was casual and it felt like a neighborhood place rather than a must be seen restaurant. Highly recommend going to Saffy's.

Great food. Excellent service. We were shown to our table promptly. Our waiter notified us of the pending delivery of fresh Dover soles which we ordered immediately and gave us perfect recommendations to pair with the wine for the rest of the courses. The food was staged perfectly. Every dish was beautiful and delicious, from appetizers to dessert.
