"From the famous hummus and the dazzling array of salatim (small shared plates) to hefty entrees like the pomegranate-braised lamb shank, there’s no place quite like Safta for breaking bread — or in this case pita — with a tight-knit crew. (Note that parties of eight to 14 will be seated at a semi-private table with a prix fixe Chef’s Menu, served family-style.)" - Ruth Tobias
