This restaurant is a hidden gem in what can be a hit and miss restaurant landscape in North Sydney, once I realised Safi was there I couldn't stop going back for it delicious middle eastern delicacies! This food is best shared with 3 or more people, mostly because it allows you to to try more of the dishes, I've been with the girls for the lunch banquet, have taken my work team there and also had my last birthday dinner there. The food is fresh, delicious and generous, so make sure you go hungry! It's also a lot more reasonably priced than other middle eastern restaurants on the north shore. The service is friendly and also timed to perfection. Only thing is it's quite small, so be sure to book especially towards the end of the week or if you are taking a bigger group to enjoy the banquet! The chiclets (chewing gum) in the decorated box with the bill, are a nice touch, not to mention essential, if you have the to-die-for chicken skewers with garlic sauce!

Toting a red and a rosé, we track down this restaurant in a low-lit shopfront next to century-old terraces. There’s barely a sign for Safi and certainly nothing to tell you that it specialises in Middle-Eastern dining. Safi is a novel snapshot of the Levant, as the French called the eastern Mediterranean. From Surry Hills to Lakemba, Sydneysiders are used to eating Lebanese food; however, we come across the traditional dishes of other countries in the Middle East far less often. Labneh, tabbouleh and shish taouk are familiar names on Safi’s menu but some of the others are less so. Mujaddara — aromatic rice and lentils — pops up in Syrian and Armenian cooking and muhammara, a mild chilli-and-walnut dip, emerges in Egyptian and Syrian food, according...
