Safa Restaurant in City of London

Great place for arabic food ... And great service ...

Pleasantly surprised by this little Persian restaurant on my last day in London for a “quick” lunch, as we were in a hurry to catch our train. My wife and I were not familiar with Persian food at all but kept an open mind to try. The owner / host was very friendly and helped us put together quickly a nice set dishes, typical of the Persian types, bread with all sorts of dips. The presentation and the taste of the dishes were excellent, and the price was quite reasonable. Highly recommended to anyone!

This is one of my favorite restaurants in London. I’ve been coming here about seven years and every time I come back, I’m amazed at how delicious the food is and how lovely the staff are.The lentil soup is out of this world and their homemade naan is incredible — seared on the bottom but slightly chewy. Delicious!This time I tried the lamb stew with okra and it was really great and of course I had to my my usual stand by, the sis taouk. It was perfect.The restaurant itself is very low key and unassuming but don’t let that fool you. First rate!Do not miss this place. 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆

Had a lovely meal here on Saturday night. Cosy atmosphere, great service and delicious food. We had the mixed grill set menu, which included hot and cold hors d' oeuvres, followed by a mixed grill, served with delicious rice and salad. Good value for money. Highly recommended.

Rip off! Worst place in the area, our group of 5 had been cheated with the bill with ~20% on top. Once we received the receipt it became instantly clear their handwritten bill doesn't match up with our order. We kindly asked for recalculation which wasn't addressed properly. After they admitted theirs mistake and attempt to overcharge us the waiters still insisted on service charge. Avoid!

We went as a family for Eid and had a fantastic meal. Everything was delicious and the portions and atmosphere were great. Although we had a small discrepancy later the staff, in particular, Mohamed, resolved it very professionally and quickly. Great service!

Had a lovely meal here with my husband and couple of friends. Really tasty food and fun upbeat service just off the bustling Edgware Road. Food was very tasty, we especially enjoyed our selection of starters and the fresh bread that was baked for us fresh. Have recommended this place to some other friends who are looking for a local Iranian.

Zero stars, not even 1. Simply put: not honest. Two of us ate there, bread was served cold even though the heat from the oven baking fresh bread right beside us could be felt. Ordered food to take back to hotel as well and was charged for it but when I arrived at hotel I realized only half of order was there. Called them and they said we didn't charge for the second plate. Lies. It's simple math - which I calculated. Definitely never returning.You will pay prices other than the ones listed on the menu!!

Prompt service, generous portions and delicious food. What more could you want? I had the mixed meat set meal: a selection of cold appetizers, a selection of hot appetizers, and the main course was a plate full of lamb and chicken served with rice and a salad. Very filling and well seasoned. Definitely would return!

Excellent food and service! Owner is super nice and gave us great recommendations for our main courses. The starters we had, hummus and Haloumi cheese were fantastic a was the fresh baked bread. My husband had the Sultani (2 types of lamb) and I had the sea bass. All delicious. The Turkish wine was a great compliment. We liked the place so much, we made a 2nd visit for our last dinner in London. Highly recommend!
