One of the most wholesome eateries in all of Ottawa. The staff is amazing, and I love their food. The tandoori chicken samdwich and the signature sandwich are my 2 favourite choices on their menu, not to forget their cake slices that I would stop by to grab late night for dessert. My wife and I fell in love with this place 3 years ago when we first stumbled across it while we were living in Sandy Hill. We’ve moved pretty far away but we still make the effort to this day to go back there whenever we can just for the food and service. Definitely a hiden gem.

Amazing Poutine with Chicken!” “I had the poutine with chicken at Safi Fine Food, and it was incredible! The fries were crispy, the gravy was rich, and the chicken was perfectly cooked and tender. The portion size was generous, and the flavors were spot on. If you’re a fan of poutine, you absolutely have to try theirs. Great food, friendly staff, and a cozy atmosphere make this place a must-visit!”

Safi Fine food was pretty ordinary . I struck me as a corner store with a fancy name. The products on offer were mostly resold products you can find at a grocery store but at higher prices of course. There were some prepared foods available like tabouleh and salads, as well as a limited amount of hot finger foods.
