Safaa Middle Eastern Restaurant

“Unassuming on the outside, but serving some of the best Middle Eastern food I’ve had in a while – – and arguably the best in Lincoln. Come for the shawarma and tikka, stay for the kunafa.”

“I have been coming to this place quite often. Lovely people and great food. I would only recommend doing more cleaning. Especially door and window face the outside. Overall 5 starts.”

“I love a good shawarma and I got the chicken/beef sandwich with both proteins mixed in. It was super delicious and just the right portion. The garlic sauce is amazing, too. Clean space and great service. 🧄”

What an awesome feast! I ordered online and something happened so we had to wait a bit longer, but after that, the owner said we could take two drinks on the house! So we got amazingly delicious food, with exceptional service as well! I highly recommend this restaurant, they're options are awesome, also.

Made an order online. That process was simple enough. The options were also clear. The food was perfect. The service was great. The gentleman that was cooking the food was courteous and kind. And the food was cooked perfectly. The atmosphere left some to be desired. But don't let that push you away. Give them a fair chance and it's worth it

We ordered the beef shawarma and the chicken shawarma. Both came with rice, a side salad, hummus, and taziki sauce. Everything was perfect! Delicious, flavorful, hot, and plated beautifully! We will definitely be back!
