"Opened for almost two years now, Saffy’s serves some of the most ambitious Middle Eastern food in Los Angeles, with no holds barred in terms of flavor, ingredient quality, and wood-fired execution. Must-order items include the ultra-smooth hummus, grilled lobster skewer with green harissa, and cherry tomatoes with smoked eggplant puree. It’s clear that Bavel and Bestia’s chefs Ori Menashe and Genevieve Gergis have poured their heart into this restaurant, named after their daughter Saffron, and it’s hard to think of a more stylish, effortlessly cool place for midweek dinner in East Hollywood. — Matthew Kang, lead editor"

"Bib Gourmand 2024 #19 Best Restaurant by LA Time in 2023 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."

"East Hollywood Middle Eastern $$$ Reservation Of the two hummus plates on Saffy’s menu, one is an advanced course in subtle contrasts: chickpeas blitzed to weightlessness; a dollop of lemony, long-simmered fava beans; and a pool of good olive oil to unite them. But then there is the hummus tahini. A quenelle-shaped garnish of green zhoug, the Yemeni hot sauce, brings in acidic jolt, but the real clincher is the handful of Lebanese pine nuts. The cost of exquisite pine nuts — long and tapered, buttery and hinting of resin — has lately skyrocketed. I’d rather eat three of these than a handful of the short, squat, tasteless variety. The same details uplift grilled lobster brushed with green harissa; wood-fire-kissed shawarma shaved from the spit to order; and skewered lamb herbed with dried mint and marjoram, then lightened by minced sweet peppers. Ori Menashe and Genevieve Gergis’ third restaurant, in an Art Deco space across from the big blue Church of Scientology building in East Hollywood, follows their downtown successes with Bestia and Bavel. Given Saffy’s focus on kebabs and a dozen or so California-inflected small plates, it may have appeared that the couple was striving for something more casual. One can argue how “casual” may be best defined these days; I certainly wouldn’t label Saffy’s as inexpensive. And really, given the ambition on display, Menashe and Gergis don’t quite seem capable of a stripped-down, laid-back style of restaurateuring. It’s largely to our benefit. Check out their small daytime bakery next door for excellent ham and cheese biscuits."
