AL SAFA HALAL CUISINE — Restaurant in Tallahassee

Absolutely phenomenal experience! This new Indian restaurant came highly recommended by a close friend who’s from India and currently attending FSU in Tallahassee—so I knew it had to be good. And it did not disappoint!

We started with the vegetable momo and samosa chaat—both were bursting with flavor and perfectly portioned for sharing. The momo had a rich, savory filling and a delightful dipping sauce, while the chaat was everything you want it to be: tangy, spicy, crunchy, and fresh.

For my main dish, I had the butter chicken, which was incredible. It had a subtle sweetness that balanced beautifully with the spices—creamy, comforting, and full of depth. The others in my group ordered the goat biryani, and they couldn’t stop raving about it.

The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the presentation of each dish was just beautiful. You can tell that the team has taken great care in crafting the menu and preparing each dish with intention and pride.

I’m already planning my next visit—I’ve asked my husband to take me here for Mother’s Day next weekend! Highly recommend this spot to anyone craving authentic, flavorful Indian food served in a thoughtful,...

We wanted to take a moment to update our review for Al Safa sinxe we finally got to eat there during their grand opening.

What an incredible deal! 50% off was very generous! The staff was so kind, polite and professional we were sure to make leave them.a large tip since their Grand Opening prices are more than reasonable.

The atmosphere is delightful. It's an intimate and cozy location perfect for a pleasant meal out with a friend. The vibe was very cool with a sophisticated style. It was refreshing to be in a location that isn't like your typical loud "sports bar" themed restaurant that Tallahassee is full of.

The decor was also lovely and makes for a special evening out.

We are very excited to go back and try the full menu as the items we were really craving weren't on the Grand Opening menu.

We love kabobs, burgers, fried chicken and can't wait to try them plus more of their traditional Indian fare.

Would love if they added Cholis to their menu to eat with puris as well as an American Style Philly Cheesesteak.

We are so happy that a Halal restaurant is in town and wish you all much success! We will definitely be back soon in person or...

This was by far the worst food I've had in Tallahassee. I visited on their first day, tempted by a decent menu and a 50% off opening offer. Unfortunately, everything else was a disaster. I waited over an hour—not due to a full house, but because orders were extremely delayed.

I ordered all three biryanis, and it took another hour to receive a plate of poorly mixed rice and chicken curry which made me wonder if they knew what a biryani is. Even a good plate of rice and curry would taste far better than their biryani. The vegetarian dishes were even worse. My vegetarian friend ordered paneer tikka but was served chicken tikka masala which he almost ate. This is an unacceptable mistake, especially considering their emphasis on serving halal meat for our muslim friends.

I was shocked to see how badly they ruined shawarma. Even a simple street taco tastes better.

The "50% off" felt like a scam—they simply halved the portions. Who serves just three momos for $10? After waiting 2.5 hours for terrible food, we left extremely...
