8 months agoDefinition of hidden gem. Absolutely outstanding food, run by a wonderful son and his parents. The menu is not large, which means a group of four can easily order almost one of everything and feast for a great price. Very vegetarian friendly and everything is delicious. No frills space, everything is about the food and service.

8 months agoWant you guys to succeed, but you seriously need to fix your portions and service. 20$ plate of kabuli with a tiny piece of lamb and no sides (so basically a plate of rice). Tiny portions of chutni. The bolani was the only thing that felt worth it. Loved the quality of the food but unlikely I will return and that's unfortunate.

8 months agoThis is not fast food. Don't come if you are in a rush. This is home made style food that tastes fresh and is delicious. We tried the falafel wrap and the lamb kabob, and had hummus as an appetizer. Very good quality, fair prices. The owner is very generous and was extra accommodating.

9 months ago⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I recently visited this new Afghan restaurant that opened just three weeks ago, and I was really impressed. The space feels warm and welcoming, with beautiful touches of Afghan culture in the décor. The staff were very friendly and eager to make sure everything went well. The food was excellent—fresh, flavorful, and made with care. The kabobs were juicy and perfectly seasoned, the mantu (dumplings) had such a rich flavor, and the naan came out hot and fluffy. You can tell the recipes are authentic and prepared with pride. For a restaurant that’s just starting out, everything felt well organized, and the service was quick. Prices are also reasonable for the quality and portion sizes. Overall, it’s exciting to see authentic Afghan food in the neighborhood. I’ll definitely be coming back and bringing friends!

9 months agoThe food and service should motivate someone to overlook the less than stellar surroundings. There are relatively few offerings but it is hard to find authentic Afghan food. The lamb and rice is flavorful though the raisins make it quite sweet. The dumplings are delicious, the veggie ones were my favorite. Ask for house chutney to kick up the spice a bit. The people are very pleasant.

9 months agoSaffron Restaurant offers a delightful introduction to Afghan cuisine, making it a fresh addition to the local dining scene. Located conveniently, this new eatery boasts no waiting time, allowing patrons to dive straight into the rich flavors of Afghanistan without delay. The menu features an array of traditional dishes, each prepared with authenticity and care. The kabuli pulao, a fragrant rice dish topped with tender lamb and sweet raisins, stood out with its perfect balance of flavors. The mantu, or Afghan dumplings, were light and savory, accompanied by a delicious yogurt sauce that enhanced their taste. One of the best aspects of Saffron is its affordability. You can enjoy generous portions without breaking the bank, making it an excellent option for both casual diners and those looking to explore new culinary territories. The ambiance is warm and welcoming, perfect for families or a casual meal with friends. Overall, Saffron Restaurant is a fantastic spot for anyone wanting to experience authentic Afghan dishes in a relaxed setting. Highly recommended!

9 months agoNew halal food business in the neighborhood so had to try Afghan food for the first time & was not disappointed! I got the Mantu (dumplings w/ a meat filling) cause I wanted to try something new & an order of beef kabab. The Mantu was soooo good, I would describe it as a comfort food with so many flavors…very delicious!! Liked it so much came back for seconds. The customer service was equally amazing, highly recommend!
