LA's 12 Best New Restaurants Of 2022 - Los Angeles - The Infatuation
"We had a feeling this East Hollywood spot would be a smash hit well before we set foot inside its dining room. That’s mostly because Saffy’s is the restaurant equivalent of a nepo-baby—it’s from the same people who run Bestia and Bavel, two excellent spots in their own right. But much like Tracee Ellis Ross' career, this glamorous kebab house exceeded our expectations anyway. Building on the Middle Eastern menu at Bavel, Saffy’s serves food worthy of a special occasion with the bubbly energy of a neighborhood fixture. You come here for juicy meat skewers cooked over a wood-fire grill and to scoop up luxuriously creamy hummus with warm laffa bread. And you’ll inevitably want to linger in a bright yellow booth until they kick you out. Getting a table at Saffy’s might take some work, but the thrill of eating here makes all the fuss worth it." - brant cox, nikko duren, sylvio martins, garrett snyder
