Great spot!
Huge thank you to Akbar and team. We hosted a family baby shower, about 50 people, at Saffron Kitchen. Our guest were all happy about the ambiance at the venue and gave us many glowing reviews about Saffron's wonderful foods. Setting up the event with Akbar was very simple and took a load off of us. Akbar let us come in early the morning of to decorate and ensure there was enough food for all guests through the event. We would definitely recommend Saffron!!
Picked up a large to-go order and wished I could’ve stayed for lunch!! Akbar and his staff are extremely accommodating and friendly. The ambience of the restaurant is perfect, and the food was fabulous. I will definitely be back if I’m ever in the area again.

Saffron Kitchen, Restaurant & Bar offers great Afghani food, with both vegetarian and meat options. The restaurant has a lively atmosphere, with the option to dine outside on the spacious patio or in the more intimate in-between section. While the food is generally well-received, the service can be hit-or-miss, with some guests reporting difficulty getting the attention of staff. However, the managers, Akbar and Abdul, are praised for their diligent attention to detail and excellent service when hosting larger groups. Overall, Saffron Kitchen provides a pleasant dining experience with tasty, generous portions at reasonable prices, conveniently located near the Rockridge BART station.
