Last night was my first time dining out with Saffron, and I was a HUGE fan. The food was flavorful— thanks to the spices, herbs, and dried raw grapes! The portions were great, the prices were fair with what you got— Not only that, but the owner tells you where each dish comes from too! The service was phenomenal. I don’t think I’ve ever had such personal attention at a food establishment before, Accommodated the entire family, quick, and aimed to please… which he did with plenty of jokes that had the whole table dying! The only thing that surprised me: we were the only people there. I can’t understand why— because this place and the owners are amazing!

Is this place open or closed ? Also IMO this would be better off as breakfast/ lunch place with a new restaurant and fresh start . We ride by and nobody is there. Also when people do not see customers, guess what? They go to other restaurants. Facts!

Super nice spot located in Hilton Village. Very Intimate location, small dining room and very fancy. Owner/host was super friendly and talked about the food and was quick to answer any questions. We had a very nice evening and it was a event, not just dinner. We will be back FOR SURE. Try the hot tea, it was amazing. Lamb Kabob was great, and the baklava is GREAT. Definitely a good date spot. 100 out of 10 review.

I recently dined at this restaurant and ordered the lamb shank, but unfortunately, the experience was very disappointing. The food did not taste fresh at all, and it was obvious that it had been reheated in a microwave. The lamb was tough and dry, making it difficult to eat, and it completely lacked flavor. For the price and presentation, I expected much better quality. Overall, I would not recommend the lamb shank and hope the restaurant improves the freshness and preparation of their dishes in the future.

We enjoy going here - the food is always tasty - the salmon kabobs are my favorite, closely followed by the lamb shank.

Just went here for the first time and got the kabob sampler for two. It was the perfect amount of food and everything served was DELICIOUS. We finished up with Persian tea and made from scratch pistachio cookies. We will be back!

The restaurant had some nice decor, they even put water in the glasses that were holding the fake roses to make it seem more real lol the food was kind of bland in my opinion. The guy serving me provided a couple of sauces which I relied on heavily to give my meal some flavor (I did the ground chicken breast with rice and a side of falafel). I was really kind of hoping for some hummus or toum as a sauce, but instead it was some spicy green sauce and I think a yogurt sauce - neither were bad but both tastes that I wasn't necessarily hoping for. The main meal was filling as there was a lot of rice but the falafel patties were tiny. The plating and presentation was very nice though! Lastly when I was done, I had to try to make noise so the guy eating at the bar could hear I was done to bring my bill, which he did, but not once came back to fill up my water or ask if I wanted a refill before leaving.
Ultimately not a bad place, but probably wouldn't go back.

We picked Saffron at random for a pre-show dinner. We were most pleasantly surprised! Service was attentive, the food was really good, and the atmosphere was warm and relaxing. Thank you, Saffron, for a nice evening out!

Wanted to try this place for some time so I tried some take out for my family of four. In my opinion this place is way over priced. The kabobs were under seasoned and the rice was nothing special. I really didn't get any middle eastern flavor that stood out. My wife could make more flavorful kabobs.

There's so many things wrong with this. I ordered the Saffron Combination for 2. On the menu, it was just over $30 for lunch, but this total came to $47. Understanding inflation, I didn't say anything. For this amount of food though? This is ridiculous. Do not come here. I cannot believe I spent $50 on this. The lamb also was not good. DO NOT COME HERE. The chicken and rice were the only good things, everything else had a weird taste and was just bad. Very sad because the owner was really sweet.
