Safta Restaurant

Safta (for dinner): With a focus on modern Israeli cuisine, Safta delights diners with its vibrant and flavorful dishes, crafted with locally-sourced ingredients. The inviting atmosphere and warm hospitality make it a standout dining experience.

Suggestions from American Way & Eader House. Closed Mon, open Tu-Sun 4:30-9:30, Sat lunch 11-2:30. Reservations encouraged. Most entrees $15-$25.

Some of the best hummus you’ll ever have. This comes from chef Alon Shaya who has a well known restaurant in New Orleans. 

Stylish, airy stop for modern Middle Eastern grub such as wood-fired pita bread.
