We ordered food for our large Nowruz celebration (about 250 guests), including Combo Kabob ( chicken, Kubiedeh), Greek yogurt (mast-o-khiar), Salad Shirazi, Saffron Rice as well as desert — and everything exceeded our expectations! The quality of the food was outstanding: flavorful, fresh, and authentically prepared. Every dish was a hit with our guests.
What truly stood out was how smooth and professional the entire process was. From coordination to timely delivery and presentation, everything was handled with care and precision. They helped make our event not only stress-free but truly memorable.
We couldn’t be happier and will definitely be ordering from them again for future events. Highly recommended for both quality and reliability!

Something is up with his prices. He charged us more than what is written on the board. And he kept the receipt too. I find him to be a rude old man. Should be under $36.00 but charged us $45.00. Food wasn’t fresh either. Keep doing con work.

Ordered the Single Lamb Shank which was absolutely fantastic, came with an absurd amount of rice which is insanely tasty.

Don't judge a book by its cover, and don't judge a restaurant by its exterior. This non-descript storefront near Campus Corner wouldn't catch anyone's eye. Thankfully my husband isn't "anyone." He saw the sign, Cafe Saffron, and suggested we go on an adventure. We are both on a search for the perfect chicken shawarma, and we may have found it. We ordered the chicken shawarma plate to share. There was lots of food for a reasonable price. The attached photo is my husband's plate after I took my share. The pita was toasted (yum!), and the chicken was incredible - very flavorful, well-seasoned, and almost addictive. The saffron rice was perfect, neither too dry or too wet. It appears the restaurant does mostly carry-out business, but they do have three four-top tables, as well as ten barstool spots. Try Cafe Saffron! You won't regret it.

????When someone orders online, and wants food outside the restaurant, you must send spoons and forks with the food. I was not at home and I ordered food and I did not have a spoon and fork and it did not come with the food. Also, when someone orders kebab, it is better to send him sumac. And finally, I paid $3.50 for each dugh, and I was expecting bottles dugh , but I received dugh in a glass. $3.50 for a cup of dugh!!!? ????

The only good thing about oklahoma city area
Saffron Cafe is a little gem that you don't want to miss! The chicken shawarma plate and the kabob are so juicy and flavorful! I loved the rice pilaf, the hummus, and the tzatziki are the BEST!!!
The portions sizes are large and will feed two.
Seriously delicious! I am a repeat customer for life!

I ordered the Chicken schwarma sandwich with a drink for about $15. This was the most flavorful chicken schwarma I've ever had. I just decided to stop by after class for a quick lunch and it was definitely worth it. I'll be back.
Parking: Maybe a total of 12-24 spots available

We happened to be walking by and decided to give it a try. It doesn't look like much from the outside and it is small with limited seating on the inside but the food was fantastic. We had a chicken kabob plate, a combo kabob plate and hummus. Everything was so flavorful and fresh. We will be eating/ordering from here when in town.

Last week, I visited the store and ordered a lot of food. The kebab was too salty, tomatoes didn’t BBQ at all. It showed on picture jalapeño and onions; however, he didn’t give me onions, bread, spoons, forks and sumac at all. I was checking online it looks great on kebabs and chicken but really it was not good at all. It was first and last that I never visit store again.

Good food and very generous portions. I had a great shawarma plate. Looked like a husband and wife team and they were sweet and friendly.
