Safta 1964 By Alon Shaya is the Las Vegas version of James Beard Award Wining Chef Alon Shaya’s Michelin Mediterranean Denver Safta Restaurant. The Las Vegas Safta location is a temporary pop up restaurant and is located in the Encore part of the Wynn Hotel Casino. Their last day will be December 31st 2024. The Restaurant by day is Jarden and by Dinner it changes to Safta 1964 by Alon Shaya (pictured below in Chef Jacket).
Inside the atmosphere is just stunning and rich looking.
One of the “Must Get” starters are the Salatim Platter (does change slightly from week to week).
Today in the middle is classic hummus that is unusually outstanding (very few places in the country make it this well), Close to where 12:00 is going clockwise is Labneh, Baba Ganoush,carmelised tomatoes, (really delicious) Lutenitsa (eggplant, pepper, tomato), Cream Cheese with Smoked Trout Roe, Za’Atar Oil, Fluffy just baked HOT Pita Breads, and Pickles.
The Falafels come embellished with preserved mango, zhoug (a hot pepper/garlic/herb sauce), and tahini.
The falafels are a very good herby style with a shattering crisp exterior.
The Grape Leaves here are stuffed with Beef Short Rib, pine nuts, and dates and are served over labneh.
A vegetarian entree or just a nice vegetable dish to share is the Crispy Eggplant.
It’s accented with caramelized tomatoes, goat cheese, and greens. The eggplant has a very crisp surface and inside is very creamy and sweet.
There is a Prime New York Strip with Hazelnut Muhammara and Za’Atar Chimichurri.
One of the best desserts that you can get anywhere is the Safta’s Delights.
We usually get not one, not two, but usually THREE of each. Baklava, Blueberry Rugelach, Chocolate Chunk Halva, Lemon Tart, Turkish Coffee Truffle
Time is limited. Try Safta 1964 By Alon Shaya. Worth a Fork!
P.S. A little birdie (our server) told us that this summer (Summer 2025) Alon Shaya is expected to open a new restaurant in the Wynn.
