Safta, which means “grandmother” in Hebrew, is a personal project for New Orleans chef/restaurateur Alon Shaya; he opened his first project outside of Louisiana at the Source Hotel in 2018. Inspired by his grandmother's recipes and the cuisine of Israel (where he was born), Shaya has given Denver a new glimpse into Mediterranean cuisine, with wood-fired pita bread, a five-deep hummus menu, and a range of kebabs, falafel, crisp-edged Persian rice, braised lamb shank and duck matzoh ball soup.
