“ For starters we ordered 'kashke badamjan' with naan. For the mains it was 'baghali polo & koobideh kebab'... The food didn't disappoint! It was fresh and portion sizes were decent. I will be returning in the future.. If I might suggest that 'salad olivieh' be added onto the starter menu as it is a standard starter offered in most Persian restaurants. Other than that I absolutely loved everything about Saffron! ”
