Experience the authentic Iranian cuisine and hospitality at Saffron.
The food was very delicious and authentic. The ambiance was also nice. The only problem is that there were few servers (only 2) but could not respond to us quickly as there were a lot of customers and they could not serve us well as we hardly had to made effort to call their attention. Also, the food took too long to arrive althought it were worth the wait. Maybe, you can improve by providing more waiters and serve the food faster so you can serve your customers well and not be dissapointed and leave for waiting too long to be served with their order/s or requests.
Saffron Persian Kitchen and Bar is an absolute treasure! The atmosphere is incredible, creating a welcoming and vibrant dining experience. The cleanliness of the place is impeccable, which adds to the overall delightful ambiance. The authentic Iranian cuisine is simply amazing, bursting with rich flavors and perfectly prepared dishes. The service is stellar—Nazila, our server, was particularly awesome, providing attentive and friendly service that made our visit even more enjoyable. With live music adding to the ambiance and great service throughout, Saffron Persian Kitchen and Bar is a must-visit. Highly recommend for anyone looking to enjoy a memorable dining experience! #SaffronPersianKitchen #Saskatoon #AuthenticCuisine #StellarService #LiveMusic 🌟 Enjoy your culinary journey! 🍽️✨🎶
I've never had Persian food before and this was a wonderful first time experience. Food was delicious and presentation was lovely. So flavorful and just the right amount. Our server Nazila was very friendly and attentive. Highly recommend! The only disappointment was that their saffron pistachio cake wasn't ready yet when we were there. But all the more reason to go again!
One of the best Persian restaurants I’ve ever been to; the food quality was superb, and the staff were friendly and helpful. The restaurant was spacious enough for events and gatherings. Kashk bademjan was the best I ever had in a restaurant, either in Iran or in Canada 🇨🇦. I have been to many restaurants so far and reviewed many of them, I can say you can never find Kashk Bademjan (Fried/ Barbecued Eggplant dish meal with toppings of walnut, garlic, pepper mint powder, liquid kashk) anywhere else. There was no plastic waste produced in this restaurant! No plastic whatsoever. Great choice 🙏
Really delicious food, great presentation, friendly service. I haven't been to many Persian restaurants but this was a real treat. Lamb shank was excellent, and saffron tea a wonderful accompaniment to everything. Such deep, warming, comforting flavours, well cooked and presented. Only suggestion would be that the plates - while they look lovely - make it a little hard to eat. Otherwise incredible all around, looking forward to my next visit to Saskatoon and Saffron.
I recently stopped by this restaurant, while traveling from Edmonton, and I was impressed by the service and the quality of the food. Everything tasted so fresh and full of flavour! The koobideh and the joojeh were juicy, and the saffron rice was great too. If you're in Saskatoon, you have to check out this place. It's a great spot for some delicious Persian food. Big thanks to Paniz for making my visit so enjoyable!
This is my first time in the restaurant and the service was top notch very nice lady that help us on everything that we need and the food was really good as well lots of serving! Later on I found that the waiter or the lady that served was the owner she was really nice and hard working. Keep it up! Definetly will order more and be back. They even gave us a complimentary tea which was delightful.
Awesome kebab. The owners are very nice and supportive. All items we tried were delicious. Food presentation was attractive. Great place to enjoy food with your family and friends.
Best experience for Iranian and non Iranian people. Thank you
I travel to Saskatoon often. Mostly eating at restaurants downtown. Tonight was too cold so I ordered in from Saffron. This Persian restaurant is better than most I have tried and it was easily the best meal I have had in Saskatoon. I highly recommend. For reference I had the lamb stew with saffron rice and dolmades. So delicious.
Quality of food is really good, service was good lady there, Nazila she is really friendly and easy to talk.
Amazing Persian food with fine dine experience. Although the quantity is little leas but quality is very good
Food was average. But ambiance was awesome.
Excellent food, a warm welcoming atmosphere, and very friendly staffs, Such a combination, What do you want when looking for a restaurant, Nazila is one of the best.
Had never tried this ethnic food before and I found it was very tasty, not overcooked and a delight to eat. The server was very hospitable, and very informative about the spices on the table. I will definitely be back. Food
Absolutely amazing place. The food is flavorful, staff is friendly. Would recommend to everyone.
Excellent food, warm and personable service. Our kebabs were delicious and filling. The rice pudding we had for dessert was rich and creamy, with delicate spicing.
Excellent food and service, would go back in a heartbeat, the lamb shank was outstanding !
Server was very rude , she brought the food very cold and she was shouting and pointing with her finger on us and our plates just because we commented the food was cold . She forgot to bring our starters and drinks . We had to remove them from the final bill as she forgot about these dishes Will never go back
Not worth the money at all. Very expensive and barely any food. Wouldn t recommend it.
Delicious food and gracious service! Nazi gave us some great dish recommendations.
Enjoyed our dine in at this place and evetything was perfect. Thanks to Nazila for the great service.
the food was excellent and very reasonably priced. we have been to many persian restaurants over the years and this was definitely one of the best! Thank you for an excellent meal!
I really enjoyed it
The food was great, as was the complimentary saffron tea! Nazila was our waitress and she was friendly and prompt, and the prices were reasonable. We enjoyed the relaxed and attractive ambience as well. Well be back soon!
Great food with live music
We ordered the stew dishes (chicken with barberry rice and lamb with saffron rice). Different from what we call stew, but really flavourful with good-sized portions. Really delicious!
Poor available selection of drinks, no dessert (pistachio cake) available, no background music (i think a live band was to start later?), placed smelled like sewage backup, we didnt order any food. Poor service.
Amazing experience! Food and service was phenomenal. Loved the live music as well. Thanks Nazila for the great evening!
Very delicious meals. Everything was so good food, dough, and costumer service especially Nazila is very kind person, she explained and answered our questions with a beautiful smile. Highly recommended
The lamb shank was uncooked and tough.
Amazing. Drinks, food--everything was above expectations. The owner came and chatted with us, and is so wonderful. Definitely will be back!
Very friendly staff .Only went for drinks but I will be back to try the food.
The food and restaurant is very nice . 100% recommended Parking: Very good Food : 5/5 |
Great place, delicious food, great service. They even made a special gluten free desert for my brothers birthday free of charge and surprised him!
The food and atmosphere are top notch! Fantastic repeat restaurants
food was delicious !
I tried this place today and the food was AWESOME. Vazeeri kabab was my choice. Especially if you are Iranian, you need to visit this place. Their Maheeche was also GREAT. We had Doogh as well. Wonderful experience.
It was my very first introduction to Persian cuisine by my Iranian friend. And I absolutely fell in love with it! As well as with this restaurant itself and its atmosphere. Try it! You wont be disappointed! Dietary restrictions: Its easy to get Gluten Free meals there. Finally! I had no problems ordering at restaurant as a gluten free eater Parking: Depending on the time of the day you can get different options of parking.
A decent place to enjoy Persian food. Very hospitable and kind staff.
We went there today and the experience was awsome... the food and the ambience and the people were so friendly... had a great evening. Thank you Saffron
The food is so delicious Also the service is perfect We were served by Nazila she was absolutely amazing Food : 5/5
Kabab Koobideh was super tasty, and very juicy and delicious, atmosphere was perfect , highly recommend. Saffron manager mr Majid was super friendly.
The food and the service were both amazing!!! Highly recommend. Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian options available! Dietary restrictions: Great dairy free and gluten free options
Literally the only stopping me from giving this awesome place 5 stars is a lack of a cocktail/drink menu. Parking: Small lot beside the restaurant has maybe a dozen spots split between 3 or 4 businesses so may have to park on paid street parking.
We celebrated my daughters birthday here and had an amazing time. The food is halal and ambiance is great. Our order arrived quickly and was delicious. It had a good size platter to share. The saffron tea and pistachio cake was superb! They even played a birthday song which made my daughter s day :) We ordered lamb shank, beef kababs and chicken wings platters with rice.. everything was grilled to perfection. The atmosphere was amazing and overall we had a great experience. Definitely recommend it!
The food taste was awesome and the atmosphere was peaceful and clean. Nazila was super friendly and had a great customer service. Thank you
The food was SO GOOD. Def try the chicken kabab with the cucumber yogurt on the side, makes everything taste super refreshing! 100% coming back! I d live here if I could
I highly recommend this restaurant.Nazila was nice and her hospitality is excellent
Absolutely loved it!
Went to this restaurant for the first time. The person who took are order was really sweet. She took the time to explain the menu to us, brought us this AMAZING TEA to try out. All the food was so good, prepared fresh! Look for Nazila, she is FANTASTIC! Food
LOVE the food and friendly service here.
Koobideh kabob is the first thing you should try , these are perfection and literally melt in your mouth tender tea is also top quality !! You gotta eat here
Parking: Easy , simple and ample parking Food
This restaurant came recommended from our time in Moosejaw. I m so glad we came, food authentic, chicken kabob was delicious with side of saffron rice and cucumber & yoghurt. My husband had the lamb stew with Persian side salad and rice. We spent some time chatting to the owner, she was really hospitable, stayed to chat with us for a while. Dietary restrictions: My husband is gluten intolerant meal was perfect!
I have not gotten my food yet, but they served water. And it is finally filtered water. For the first time in Canadian restaurant I can drink water.
The quality of the food and service was spectacular! The atmosphere was so family-friendly. The staff were so friendly and welcoming, especially dear Nazila, she was super helpful with our order. Highly recommended.
Delicious!
Beautifully presented and delicious Persian food. Nazila was very welcoming and had excellent suggestions.
We had a great time! Nazeela provided excellent service
Amazing Vaziri Kebab, along with an awesome pistachio cake. The food arrived very early and was nicely decorated. The server, Nazila, is very kind and catering, and went out of her way to tend to us. Plus, you can expect a cup of the restaurants signature tee, provided free of charge. Great food, great atmosphere and music, and an overall great experience!
Delicious persian food, especially for kabab
Excellent food. Unique to Saskatoon. We had the chicken and lamb stews as well as the eggplant dip. Nazila was an exceptional server. Well be going back!
Absolutely delicious food, exceptional service, nice atmosphere. Our server was so attentive and sweet. I ordered a vegetarian kebab dish with a side of herbed yogurt . When I wasnt able to eat a whole lot of my meal because there the quantity was so generous, they bagged it for me and threw in an order of their lamb stew...I couldnt believe they did that, it was so nice! Would definitely recommend it. Vegetarian options: Great vegetarian/vegetable kebabs
If you want taste middle east food and enjoy the atmosphere, this is the place. They will bring a welcoming Saffron tea which touch your soul. Amazing!! Thanks guys Food : 5/5
Amazing food and atmosphere. The tea and the lamb were exceptional, as was the service.
This was not our first time eating at Saffron, but it was definitely time to brag it up! This restaurant has wonderful service. Our server, Nazila, was very friendly and personable. We were served Saffron tea, which is a signature at Saffron. So delicious. The dishes were well seasoned, hot, served quickly, and delicious! We ate Koobideh (ground beef) kebab, veggie kebab, shirazi salad, salmon kebab, Joojeh(chicken) kebab, maust khiar (cucumber yogurt dip), doogh(yogurt drink), and the wings kebab. Everything was delicious! And awesome. We re not from Saskatoon, but will DEFINITELY be back! Thank you Darion and Zoe for introducing us, and thank you, Nazila, for your amazing service!
Went to saffron tonight for the first time. Food and service was amazing! Really enjoyed the tea and pistachio cake! Brought back memories back home. Highly recommend. Marsi Nazila :) Food
Authentic food and attentive staff. Delicious chai as well.
Had a delightful dining experience at Saffron Persian Restaurant! Nazilas warm hospitality made our visit truly memorable. The kababs were incredibly delicious, and I highly recommend trying the pistachio cake! Cant wait to return for more culinary delights.
We went for iftaar during Ramadan and they served complimentary iftaar before the main course which was very nice of them. Our food was extremely delicious and we loved the atmosphere! I would give it a 10 out of 10 This is our detailed review https://youtu.be/bX-GcDh6kB8?si=JeeG14U0MmuoFxFO Kid-friendliness: Perfect
Delicious delicious food! A new favorite!
Great food, awesome servers, amazing atmosphere
Great food and hospitable staff.
Fantastic kabob. Excellent service. Loved the atmosphere. Fair prices. Pleasant surprise, this place. Will be coming back first chance I get
I ordered (all the ratings are from 5 ): 1. Koobideh kebab: 5 2. Salmon kebab: 4 3. Joojeh kebab: 4 Please dont forget to ask for their complimentary tea, it is awesome. The service is awesome too. Overall rating for the place, food and service: 4.8
Great food in a great location! We really enjoyed our Kabab Koobideh, Khoresh Gheimeh, Doogh and Tea! Our host Alieh was amazing too - very attentive and professional. We will come back for sure. I highly recommend this place!
So good and friendly service! Highly recommend the beef or chicken kabob, delicious!
It was the one of those best experience in my life
Had a lamb dish with chickpeas, which was very good, but did not need potato chips on top of it. Also, too much rice to go with the dish, half of it would have been enough! Tea was a very nice touch, but coffee needs to have cream served with it, not edible oil substances which spoil my enjoyment of coffee. Please support Canadian dairy! Saffron cake was also very good and big enough for me to take half of it home. Service was very good and much appreciated.
Cozy place, politely staff ,delicious food, suitable for event, professional team and .. all of one offer everyone to come there
Incredible experience at Saffron Restaurant. The staff are very warm and welcoming, and what can I say about the food? Simply amazing! I love their house tea, especially in winter. You can also come to this place to have a drink with friends; they have a bar table and wines. Highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking to enjoy great Persian food coupled with outstanding hospitality.
Finally a good Persian restaurant was good quality food Tried this restaurant in Ramadan. Called and told them we are fasting and reserved a table They advised us to order ahead so the food is made fresh At food time they served us with a complimentary appetizer plate and tea Then served us food Service was amazing, Mariam was superb I loved the beef kebab the most but everything else was good Totally recommend and hope they keep the quality and service up like this forever
Good food and good people. They will never ask you how well (roasted) you want your chicken barbeque or Kebab to be! I remember this place was a home for Yamaha Piano store and music training rooms for 40 years. The family sold the building, and its now home for three restaurants beside each other! Do you think the new owner upgraded the roof top unit to supply a good air conditioning to serve three big kitchens?? I doubt, and thats why after each visit you need to wash your clothing!
Ordered Koubideh-Lamb Kebab, and it was great. The tea to start with was amazing as well. A nice and relaxing music playing. The lady who greeted us was superb! Very nice and welcoming.
Saffron met our expectations during the first visit in February. Recommended by the Iranian friends in our team, we enjoyed exceptional service from host Nazila. Highlights included the aromatic saffron tea, flavorful joojeh kebab, and the refreshing Shirazi salad. Planning to return to try other items in the menu .
Great restaurant. Best saffron tea I had in Canada. Owner is new to Saskatoon and very friendly
Unique environment and staff. Super delicious food. I suggest everyone to try this restaurant and its food.
Best !!!!!!!!!!!
It was amazing especially chicken Kebabs.Recommended to eat with Saffron rice.
Ordered food for pickup and was not disappointed - we ll be back!
The food is absolutely incredible. I ve never had such powerful flavours out of such simple ingredients. It tastes like it s made with love and passion, and everyone is so nice that I don t doubt it is. I have a new favourite spot!
Indulging in the flavors of Persia at Saffron was an exquisite culinary journey. From the moment we stepped in, the ambiance transported us to Iran with its warm, inviting decor . The menu offered a delightful array of Persian delicacies, each dish bursting with authentic flavors . We savored every bite of the succulent kebabs, aromatic rice dishes, and delicate Persian stews. The staffs especially Nazilas hospitality added to the experience, ensuring our visit was nothing short of exceptional. Whether youre a seasoned fan of Persian cuisine or eager to explore new flavors, Saffron is a must-visit destination for an unforgettable dining experience.
We had a really good time. Staff is nice, food is great! We will definitely be back.
Went here with my friends recently and the food was so good! The owner and staff were super nice and friendly. If you love dessert, the saffron pistachio cake is a must try!
I was visiting Saskatoon and came across Saffron Persian Kitchen with their good reviews, and I thought I give it a try. The resturant was very nice and the food was great. Nazila was very friendly and helpful and made sure I get the best service. Will definitely go back on my next visit.
I always get take outs from this restaurant, dined in for the first time today and service was amazing. Nazila was super friendly. Totally recommend :)
The ONLY reason the Atmosphere loses a star is because everything felt so real, so traditional, but the music was kinda generic background piano. Which I didnt mind, but it just felt off. But wow, the food was incredible, and the service outstanding.
Everything was good.
This was our first time at Saffron, and we can t wait to go back! The atmosphere was great, the food was delicious, and our server Nazila was incredibly welcoming and kind. We are looking forward to visiting again.
If you are looking for an authentic dining experience this is the place to go! I cant rave enough about this place! Nestled in the vibrant Broadway centre this is a restaurant you dont want to miss. We were all greeted warmly and made to feel right at home. The owners and staff are incredibly caring and the food is second to none. We went on a Saturday for a late dinner and got to be apart of the Iranian dancing which starts later in the evening. We had an absolute ball so much laughter and the people were so welcoming and including. This is a place you go to sit, visit and spend an evening so be prepared to wait for the food (trust me its well worth it, you will thank me later!) Thank you to all the staff and community for bringing this gem to Saskatoon! If you havent tried Persian food you will be hooked. All of our meals were fresh and presented beautifully. I cant wait to go back!!
Everything we ordered from Kababs to Stews to Yogurts were exceptional. Service was kind and thoughtful for people unfamiliar with Persian cuisine. Very thorough explanations and attentive service without being in your face too often. We dropped in with a table of 7 at 6:30pm on a Sunday and we were welcomed and invited to try everything. If you are curious to try, do it. You wont be disappointed!
Amazing take out experience at saffron restaurant . Food was delicious, clean,and well prepared . Every dish exceeded expectations, seamless ordering process and friendly staff . Highly recommend
Cant wait to go there for the fourth time in 2 months. I have almost ordered all the menus Main food and I say they deserve 5 star with extra salute
When I tasted the food, I said this is even better than a lot of restaurants in Iran. I tried the chicken kebab and Kubide kebab, as well as their eggplant dish with Shirazi Salad. The most exceptional one was the tea, apparently it was a mixture of different kinds of fusions in the traditional Iranian cups, which makes it even better. It is a little bit pricey, but I guess they dont want to lose the quality over price.
Went today for dinner, Nazila made sure we had the best service. The food was delicious, and great serving. There was nice music and a soft peaceful atmosphere. Real Persian taste. Dietary restrictions: They accommodate if you have some dietary allergies.
The food and service were excellent. I especially enjoyed the saffron tea.
We went there for the first time today and they had a great selection of food (and was gluten free for my diet). I would definitely go back and try their other dishes. The doough was a tasty yogurt drink.
The quality of the food and the service was beyond amazing! Highly recommend and would come again!!
We had a takeaway order, kebab was very good.
We were party of four,celebrating a family event. What a delightful restaurant, that too only 2 months old. We ordered dolma,koobideh kebab and chelo mahicheh( lamb shank). The flavors were awesome and the portions hearty, served with copious saffron tea. Our server Nazila was friendly and helpful with suggestions. My lamb shank was the best I have had in a Persian restaurant in Canada. We shared desserts and mine was pistachio saffron cake. The Persian Chocolate cake was good too. Would we come again, definitely yes. Most of the patrons seemed to be Iranians familiar with Persian food, cant think of a stronger recommendation than that!
If you want to enjoy delicious food and experience the authenticity of Persian cuisine, you should give this place a try. The staff is super friendly, the location is perfect, and the menu offers a variety of options.
Everything about my experience was fantastic. The service was exceptional. Very warm and inviting. The food was incredible. A simple menu bursting with delicious and complex flavours. Amazing. Highly recommend this place to anyone!
Excellent food. We initially though the mains were pricey but when we got our meals they were well presented, tasty and interesting. They were worth the price. Black Persian tea flavored with rose water and saffron was delightful. Pistachio cake is made in house. The was a nice since oo often you can tell that a restaurant has just thawed some overly sweet cake they have had shipped in to Saskatoon. The food is authentic which is a nice change from a lot of the boring restaurants in Saskatoon. We just moved here and are foodies. Other than Primal and this place weve not been excited by many restaurants in Saskatoon. We will go back here since they obviously care about food. The service was to notch. I rarely give 5 stars; only if the food is worthy of a conversation about it and if one thinks about it the next day. We will be back to explore more on the menu.
Five-Star Experience at Saffron Restaurant Today, I hosted a surprise party at Saffron, and I am beyond impressed with the entire experience. From start to finish, everything was perfect. The staff went above and beyond. They were not only attentive but also genuinely warm and friendly. Kudos to the servers who made our evening . The food was an absolute delight. Each dish was expertly prepared, bursting with flavor, and beautifully presented. Whether youre a foodie or just looking for a great meal, Saffron delivers. The staff helped me to decorated the VIP section , creating an intimate and celebratory atmosphere. The owner personally ensured that every detail was just right. If youre seeking a top-notch dining experience, look no further. Saffron is a gem that deserves all the praise. Ill definitely be returning! Thank you, Saffron for making our celebration unforgettable. Youve earned a loyal customer in me
We were totally new to Persian cuisine. The server taught us how to eat this delicious food. Seemed popular and full. Highly recommend!
We ve been there a few times. Absolutely love everything about it. Saffron tea is always so good.
Amazing place! Has the best Iranian food in Saskatoon. Reception and customer service is top notch as well!
The best Persian food in Saskatoon. Food is incredible, staff are so warm and kind and it s a beautifully decorated restaurant too.
Experience the best Persian food ever! Their Kabab, and pistachio cake are all amazing. Do t miss out!
I had the most amazing meal at this Persian restaurant. The kabab was juicy and tender, the lamb shank was fall-off-the-bone delicious, and the pestachio kake was a sweet and nutty treat. The portions were generous, the service was friendly, and the atmosphere was cozy. This is the best food ever and I cant wait to come back again!
Highly recommend this place if you are an Iranian food lover and we had 1. Koobideh Kabab 2. Wings Kabab 3. Chelo Manicheh 4. Chocolate and Pistachio Cake The Kabab was flavourfull, juicy and tender The lamb shank was well cooked & Juicy Wings was also had great flavour. All together we got our middle eastern flavour back. Good, clean and spacious place with great hospitality. We also wanted to thanks Ms. Nazila who helped us entirely during our dining time helping us choosing our meals & she was spot on. Additionally, she understood that we loved the chocolate cake above her selection of pistachio cake, she gave us one complimentary chocolate cake on her. All together highly recommended family dine in place.
I recently visited Saskatoon for a week and had the pleasure of dining at this restaurant not once, but twice!!! Every aspect of my experience was absolutely perfect. The food was of excellent quality, showcasing both skill and passion in every dish. The owner was incredibly welcoming, and the service was outstanding. I definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an exceptional dining experience in Saskatoon.
great service friendly staff and the best persian food in saskatoon.
Just finished our meal here. Nazila was so warm and welcoming and the food was just fantastic. We re definitely coming back to sample the pistachio cake!
This place is amazing... best kabob that i had in canada... mind blowing our server nazila was so sweet. Cant describe enough.
I tried Saffron dishes (koobideh kabab, joojeh kabab, and ) multiple times. They are great. Besides their great dishes, you will enjoy communicating with them, especially Nazila.
It was a great experience
The food was sooo good and the service was awesome!! Really enjoyed the tea as well :)
I enjoyed a wonderful meal at this exquisite cuisine. I thank the welcoming staff who create a nice ambiance. The food is generously served. It was my first experience tho, I will come back again.
A wonderful new restaurant in Saskatoon! I have never had Persian food before and everything was delicious- you have to try the Saffron tea. Nazila was wonderful and very attentive. I can t wait to go back!
Amazing food and great service!
Delicious food, wonderful service, lovely atmosphere!
Best Persian restraunt I have been to in a long time. Very traditional tasting food with excellent service. Amazing place. Nazila was an excellent waitress! Thank you.
One of the best Persian restaurants I have been to! The koobideh kabob and ghormeh stew were phenomenal. The service from Nazila was amazing and the owners of restaurant make you feel at home ! I highly recommend to anyone who is Persian and anyone who is trying to experience the Persian cuisine!
Amazing restaurant with delicious food! Great environment and polite and caring staff. I loved Kubideh!
Great food, great staff. Everything was fresh and seasoned well. Staff were friendly and helpful when ordering.
Exceptional food, service and atmosphere. The waitress Nazila, is outstanding at her job, and goes above and beyond. This new restaurant will undoubtedly cement itself as one of Saskatoons best.
Me and my family heard a lot about this place and decided to try their koobideh. The waiter was so nice and polite. The food was not as expected although it was a bit over priced. The koobideh itself was small in comparison with other places. The taste of the koobideh and the rice was not the best either. The meal was not warm enough.
Beautiful place, perfect food , very tasty chocolate cake, delicious tea Made memorable Christmas night for us thank you Food
We had a great experience in Saffron restaurant. The quality of food was very good and sooo delicious. We tried several food including Kebab and lamb shank which were sooo goood. They were very welcoming. I love the atmosphere and hospitality. Highly recommended
We thoroughly enjoyed this authentic Persian experience, wonderful staff, and delicious food -- fantastic presentation, reasonable price!
The food is amazing and Nazila is an excellent host. The saffron tea is so flavourful and the kebab is to die for.
Friendly environment and professional and polite staff and the best quality Iranian food in Saskatoon... Thanks to Saffron Restaurant
I live in Toronto and visited my brother in Saskatoon. To be completely honest, this place is definitely the best Persian restaurant I have ever been to in Canada. Interestingly, its quality and taste is as much as Persian foods in Iran. Besides, friendly staff, welcoming manager, and a lovely atmosphere made a memorable experience for me here. It s not possible to be in Saskatoon and not give a visit to this place.
An amazing experience top to bottom. Great service, we were given lots of reccomendations and even served special treats in addition to what we ordered. Our server went above and beyond, we felt well taken care of and special! The atmosphere is very welcoming and relaxing, with fun lighting and Persian music. This is a great place to have good conversation and unwind. The food was incredible, every dish had so much flavour and paired very well together! (Great to share and try lots of things together). 100% will be back again, a must try for Saskatoon. Pictured is the Kashk bademjan (eggplant dip), which was rich and garlicky. We also had the Koobideh (beef) kabobs, Kartoffel (potato) salad, and Khoresh ghormeh (lamb stew) - every dish was absolutely incredible. Their saffron tea is wonderful as well. Definitely try this place out!
This was truly the best dining experience I have ever had. It was our first time trying Persian food and we were treated so kindly by the staff. They were helpful providing recommendations and the food came out quickly. Every single bite was absolutely delicious. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone and will be sure to be back. Absolutely amazing!
Delicious food, wonderful service, pleasant atmosphere.. if you want all these experiences; you should try Saffron restaurant.
We had a great night there , the food is amazing and the hospitality warm and lovely , definitely recommend it!
Visiting from the USA to see friends, we stumbled upon this restaurant and had a fantastic time. The food was delightful, offering a wonderful taste of local flavors. The atmosphere added a special touch to our evening, making it a memorable experience. Would definitely recommend for a great meal and a charming ambiance!
Food was excellent, meat is all Halal and tastes better than any other Persian place in the province and they serve extra rice and tahdig for those who love it; definitely a place to come back to. Nazila is an amazing server and provided excellent service and quality, plus the tea was complimentary!
Wonderful! Food, service, and cocktails were fantastic! Have the cake!
Amazing food! Everything is halal.

In summary, this restaurant stands out as a fantastic choice for those seeking genuine Iranian flavors, coupled with a warm ambiance and excellent service.

The flavours in the Khoresh Gheymeh and Ghormeh were exquisite - we were very happy to find this place and will definitely be going back.
The best place in whole of Saskatchewan you can find Iranian delicious foods with the best quality and friendly atmosphere and staffs.
I had the kabab koobideh, dolmeh, bademjoon, and the rice and gheymeh. I really enjoyed it. The tea was also amazing. I would definitely come here again. The service was excellent. The server was knowledgeable about the food and was very accommodating. The restaurant also has good ambience. The bathrooms were also clean. The restaurant was fairly priced and the portion of the food was also fair.
Went today for lunch, wasn t busy at all and Nazila made sure we had the best service. The food was amazing, and big portions. There was nice music and a soft peaceful atmosphere. Love it here thank you so much!
I really loved the kashk-e-Badimjoon as a shareable dish. It was my favorite one. the service was great and very friendly. I recommend anyone who is looking for an amazing Persian dish.
Absolutely recommend! The service was wonderful and the food was exceptional too .
Very good. Get the Persian style stew and the eggplant dip
Great food and nice people!
The service was quick and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The food of course was excellent as well, the best kabobs we ve had in a while.
My fiance and I came here for dinner tonight and everything from the saffron tea to the delicious entrees was incredible! The service from Nazila was superb and we are so excited to come back. Definitely have found a new local favourite :)
The food was excellent and had an authentic Iranian taste. The restaurant atmosphere and the staffs approach were completely friendly and warm. I recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants to experience the taste of Iranian cuisine. I will definitely go to this restaurant again and try the rest of their dishes.
Simply excellent. Impeccable food, atmosphere and service. The passion with which Nazila talks about Iranian cuisine is contagious. 5 stars with praise!!!
The food was absolutely delicious! We had the Koobideh Kebab, Zeresh Polo Morgh and the Dolma, it was all delicious! The flavors were beautiful and the meat was so nicely cooked! The service was so friendly, we even got some lovely tea before the food! It was such a lovely experience! The atmosphere was so nice, when I walked in, the fragrant scents took me back to my travels in the Middle East. This is an absolutely wonderful restaurant, I highly recommend!
What a beautiful new gem! The food was tasty, service was amazing and atmosphere made it a great to catch up with a freind. If you have not tried Persian food go and they will guide your experience.
The vibe is so cozy. Thanks to Bijan and Nazilas warm and friendly welcome. I placed an order the Kebab koobideh, and taste was amazing!
Very good hospitality. The staff is the best part of the restaurant very nice, kind and helpful. Food and the vibe of the restaurant very nice. Food
We totally enjoyed the food. The quality of the ingredients was completely satisfying and the taste was incredible. It has really polite and welcoming staff and also really helpful. We had the chance to see the owner, as well, we found him too friendly and professional who cares for the customers. They re gonna open their dance floor along with the karaoke events in the immediate future. We will be visiting this place a lot, for sure.
Amazing service! The staff is so kind and welcoming. Food is fresh and it tastes really good.
Absolutely delightful experience at Saffron Restaurant! The food was incredibly fresh and delicious, the ambiance was stunning with beautiful decor, making it the perfect setting for a weekend outing with my family. Highly recommend!
Update: I went there for the second time and added some photos - I went to Saffron Persian Kitchen and Bar for the second time and it was amazing! The Koobideh Kebab and Joojek Kebab were delicious and tasted like culinary masterpieces. The flavors were so satisfying. I wish I had taken pictures of my plate, but it just means I have to come back again! This restaurant deserves a five-star rating for its exceptional cuisine and dining experience. Highly recommend for anyone looking for authentic Persian food!
I recently had the pleasure of dining at Saffron Persian Kitchen, and I must say, the experience was exceptional. Nazila, one of the staff members, went above and beyond to make our visit memorable. Her warmth, attentiveness, and genuine hospitality added a special touch to our dining experience. The food at Saffron Persian Kitchen is not only delicious but also reflects a true dedication to authentic Persian flavors. The ambiance is delightful, and the combination of Nazilas outstanding service and the delectable cuisine makes this restaurant a standout choice. I highly recommend Saffron Persian Kitchen, and kudos to Nazila for making our visit truly enjoyable.
Really nice people! Food was traditional and delicious and well presented. I recommend. Food
Great service definitely the best kabab in the city!
Excellent food and fabulous service. A welcomed addition to Saskatoon. Starting with saffron tea was beautiful and I highly recommend the pistachio saffron cake for dessert. Food
Great food, great service, great atmosphere
I am so happy that there is now an Iranian restaurant in Saskatoon. My family and I went there for lunch today and we had the rice and kebab; we liked it. And for dessert we had sholeh zard that was so fresh and delicious. Thank you for good food and a lovely afternoon. Will definitely go back.
We dined there; the service was a bit slow, yet the decor was pleasing, reminiscent of a Chinese restaurant. The Koobideh kabab was enjoyable with a well-proportioned serving. However, the Joojeh required more seasoning, and while the Mahicheh was well-cooked, it had a slightly fatty odor. Overall, it was good and definitely worth a try. The Shallot yogurt and doogh were standout items, exceptionally fresh and expertly prepared. They offered us saffron tea and a plate of Tahdig for free which was so surprising, and we liked it. A minor suggestion would be to take orders separately at first and inquire whether customers prefer their receipts individually or together. I will absolutely go there again and will post the updated review later. Thanks to the management for bringing this Persian cuisine to this city.
Perfect food and service
This was our third visit to Saffron Restaurant, and each time, the quality of the food has been excellent. Wed like to extend our thanks to the management and the friendly staff of Saffron Restaurant.
Food was amazing, some of the flavors were totally new to me. While I waited for pickup, they offered me a nice place to sit and served me saffron tea. Food
Great addition to Broadway!
Ever since Saffron opened, I have ordered six different dishes, and all of them were perfect. This restaurant is an absolute gem! From the moment we stepped in, the warm and inviting atmosphere set the stage for an unforgettable dining experience. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making us feel welcomed and valued. Each dish we tried was a delightful journey of flavors, clearly showcasing the use of fresh, high-quality ingredients. The attention to detail in both presentation and taste was remarkable. Its rare to find a place that excels in both culinary excellence and exceptional service, but Saffron hits the mark perfectly. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a top-notch dining experience. A must-visit for food lovers and those seeking a pleasant and sociable environment.
We had a group event at Saffron Restaurant this evening, and we enjoyed the vibrant atmosphere, the excellent service, and the fabulous authentic Persian food. My chicken kebobs were amazing, the salad fresh and the complimentary tea delicious. I highly recommend this wonderful restaurant!
Much needed cuisine in #YXE for the Persian community and all Saskatoon. We enjoyed our food, delish and authentic. Spot on on joojeh and koobideh. Highly recommended. Cheers Food : 5/5 |
We were group of 12! They had a VIP room and was perfect night! Food was perfect, service was perfect and everything was really great! Nazila was super friendly and she was very nice! We ordered Chicken Kabab and Ground Beef Kabab, all of them were delicious! I strongly recommend this place
