Saffron Mediterranean Grill

Amazing little place right in downtown Long Beach. Service was excellent and fast. Food was incredible. Their hummus is some of the best I’ve ever had. Highly recommend if you are near the convention center!

Had some lamb chops that were perfect in every way. The seasoning, the meat temperature, the char! Everything was on point. The rice was fluffy and perfectly cooked, salad was fresh and crisp, and the hummus was spot on. Owners are amazing people and have great taste in music to enjoy while you dine. Don’t forget to get dessert!

This is genuinely one of my favorite Mediterranean places in the Downtown LB area. The food is delicious, the flavors are always on point, and every dish is made with love. You can tell the recipes come from true Mediterranean culture and roots, nothing feels watered down or generic. It honestly beats any other Mediterranean spot in the area and is definitely a hidden gem! You can feel the pride behind the food and customer service, I highly recommend if you are in the area!

Everything is fresh and delicious. I had the chicken Sharma wrap, Grape leaves, hummus with pita. Oh so good. Will definitely be back at this hidden gem tucked behind Johnny Rockets on Pine.

We stumbled on this place wondering the super corporate malls of the area and we are so happy we did. The food was so good and fresh. Great veggie options. Everyone was very nice. We had it for dinner and came back for lunch the next day. Everything was great.

Tucked in an alley or plaza. Hidden from passers by. Only one man preparing but he managed it well. It was great timing as it was not busy yet. Food was delicious and good serving.

Food is very good. I would definitely go back for their falafels! So yummy, so fresh, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.
We ordered the Falafel side and the Mediterranean Plate. The prices are very reasonable for the amount of good food.

The food was absolutely delicious. I have many dietary restrictions and eat for my genetics so I had a salad and the lentil soup. I wanted to try the cauliflower but it was not available. Beautifully served. The salad plate look like a work of art. The lentil soup was one of the best I have ever had.

I would just say. Please, please, please. Hair nets. Hair nets. Hair nets. The was a strand of hair on the smaller white plates near the checkout counter and somehow a strand of hair turned up on the side of the lentil soup bowl. It was not in my soup but partly on the inside side half hang out. Must have been the lady that came to clean the table after a guest left. So maybe it fell in with her passing. Please have all ladies with long hair wear hairnets. The food is way tooooo good for this issue.

The gentleman who served me was a delight with a beautiful smile.

This retail complex used be thriving back in the day but it is pretty empty these days. However, there is plenty of seating outside and inside. I highly recommend Saffron.

The hummus and taziki sauce is homemade and it is some of the best I have ever had. The rice is very flavorful and the pita bread is best enjoyed when it’s warm and fresh. I Harold and get a plate at least once a week.
