Saffy's

Crackling flames, heat radiating from the coals, the constant kneading and stretching of dough— the visceral nature of Ori Menashe and Genevieve Gergis’s latest restaurant is impossible to ignore. From the hitmakers behind Bavel and Bestia comes this breezy space awash in sunny pink and orange hues. Lamb and pork kebabs cooked on long metal skewers are the main event, but appetizers easily hold their own. There might not be a better, creamier hummus around; this one boosted with smoked paprika, toasty pine nuts and an herby green zhoug. Grilled lobster marinated in green harissa is a luxurious feast that would dazzle in fine dining temples. Bread is a constant source of pleasure, from the delicate challah to the soft laffa.
