I recently had the pleasure of dining at Zaferon Restaurant and trying their Baghali Polo with lamb shank, and I must say it was an exceptional experience. The dish was beautifully presented, with the lamb shank served in a rich, flavorful sauce that was perfectly spiced. The meat was tender and fell off the bone effortlessly, making it a delight to eat.

The Baghali Polo was a true highlight of the meal. The saffron-infused rice, combined with perfectly cooked dill and broad beans, was aromatic and full of flavor. The golden tahdig (crispy rice) was an absolute treat, with its crunchy texture providing a delightful contrast to the soft and fluffy rice underneath.

The sides, including fresh herbs, pickled vegetables, and the garnished onion slices, complemented the meal wonderfully, adding freshness and balance to the rich flavors of the main dish.

The service was attentive and friendly, and the ambiance of the restaurant added to the overall experience. I highly recommend Zaferon Restaurant for anyone craving authentic Persian cuisine. Their Baghali Polo with lamb shank is a must-try!

Went here for dinner and the food was good. We tried a variety of their dishes and they were all good. However, the same cannot be said about their service. The servers are not the most friendly and be prepared to ask for everything. Don’t expect them to come fill your water or anything without asking. Overall, the food is decent but don’t expect great service.

Been going here for over 20 years. This review is base on our several recent visits as well as delivery. The food is just SO good. Service is also very friendly and warm. We’ve tried out other well reviewed Persian restaurants but always come back to here as Zaffron just does it better. Highly recommend!

Best place to have Fresh Persian Food. They have ample amount of seating and location is top notch.
My favourite is Vaziri Kebob.

I have ordered at this restaurant multiple times through delivery but going in-person to have the warm and delicious food served to you is on whole another level. Will be a repeat customer for sure.

Service is fast and friendly.

We went to this restaurant for a birthday lunch and according to my mother the swarma dish she had was the worst one she's ever tasted. The meat was very badly cooked and not seasoned well. It was dry and tasteless. I agree I tasted her left overs. Hummus, tahini and even garlic sauce could have made things better. She was allowed to only pick 2 sides. Other places give you the choice of 5+ add-ons. The eggplant was served in what seemed to be a ketchup sauce and the mushrooms were simply in vinegar. This dish was not worth $19. And the server was never around to answer questions or rectify the issue. My mom expected a fresh salad as well, but was too disappointed to ask.

We held a memorial lunch a few weeks ago. The service at the restaurant was excellent. The hosts were exceedingly friendly, polite, and well organized, making us feel at home. We would like especially to acknowledge and thank Ms. Parastoo and Parya, as well as Mr. Farzan, for their assistance and service. They were incredibly friendly, kind and knowledgeable as hosts. The cuisine, dessert, and beverages were all amazing as promised. We recommend this restaurant for any occasion in need of delicious and great meals, you will not be disappointed.
