Saffe — Restaurant in Tel-Aviv

This place looks very unassuming and is the type of a Cafe that one would pass by and not stop at unless it was recommended by someone. I strongly recommend making the effort to go there although it is off the beaten path. The food is very flavourful, delicately spiced, imaginative and unique.

Great place to have your birthday at with friends. There's a back deck which is more for meetings and private dinners/dates, and there's the front where u can hang out and see the parade of Tel Aviv's night life or even a friend or two. They have DJs and events also....
