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.

Absolutely lovely little place! The staff are incredibly kind, it made me feel incredibly comfortable being there. I am a bit of a fry fanatic, and for 5$ you get a massive platter of perfectly seasoned golden fries, some of the best in all of Lincoln (I have lived here my whole life btw). Their Falafels are also literly perfect, again some of the best I have ever had. They have a little tea dispenser in there and it is really good! Absolutely worth every cent and more, I will be coming back in the future frequently!

Amazing place! They have really good food. I’ve been there multiple times and they don’t disappoint. Super friendly people.
I get the cheeseburger (the best out there), lamb shank, sheekh kebabs and shawarma all the time. They’re amazing and they serve Zabiha Halal meat only. Which is such a plus.

Safaa in Lincoln, NE is a true hidden gem for Middle Eastern cuisine. I tried the lamb shank meal, and it was incredible—tender, falling off the bone, perfectly seasoned, and served in a portion that was just right. The gyro was also fantastic, and the baklava made for a perfect sweet finish. The staff were friendly, talkative, and made the meal even more enjoyable.
The space is small but cozy, and it wasn’t crowded during our visit. If you love Middle Eastern food, this is definitely a spot to savor. True to my style, I didn’t take any pictures—just enjoyed the flavors and the moment.

I placed a takeout order today for Lamb Shank over rice, it had a side of tasty hummus(it had a spice oil mixed in that made the hummus tasty) & a side salad with dressing. The young gentleman behind the counter took my call in order and was friendly and professional on the phone. The same young man put my order together and was very friendly. Enjoyed the food at home, quite tasty. I never realized all this time that this tiny restaurant was next to the Phillips Gas Station on the east side of North 17th street. If you don’t look for it one can easily miss it. I will be sure to return with my sisters to try some of the other tasty looking entrees. Thank you Safaa.
