Oh, my!! What a special treat this was!! The atmosphere was so calm and inviting, the service was personable, dignified, and attentive, and the food was extraordinary! Our party of three each ordered different lunch meals, and not one of those us was disappointed. The soup was uniquely delicious, and the antipasto appetizer platter had us craving more! Their pita pieces were so soft and flavorful, and the different meats were a real flavor delight! Definitely a restaurant worth finding!
Hearty portions and delicious food!
FOOD
I ordered the Tanjine Lamberel as my entree and it was delicious. It is a stew and the meat was so incredibly tender that it melted in my mouth. It paired with a bread, likely a sliced baguette.
I also ordered the Moroccan coffee, which came with refills. We also split a Bastilla appetizer which was like a sweet and savory pastry. The portions were generous!
SERVICE
Waitress was attentative, but service was a bit on the slower side. I figure the reason was to allow us to enjoy our time talking.
MOOD
Intimate and dimly lit. Noise was moderate.
We have been to Saffron twice and both times it’s been a nice experience. The cafe showcases its culture in its service, food and the ambiance. The service is always good here. Falafel and tzatziki is delicious. We ordered Couscous royale for the main and was good too. I made the mistake of adding little too much of vegetable broth to my couscous which made it bitter, so don’t make that mistake. Baklava is very delicious, perfect balance of sweetness, flakiness and nuttiness. Saffron is a great place to have a calm and relaxing meal. Perfect for date nights. It also have options for vegetarians, which is what I look for. Highly recommend it.
