We've been coming to Saffron for years. They serve truly remarkable food. For starters we had Ashe Reshteh, Chicken Soup, and Kubba Potato. For the mains we had Faasoulieh (White Beans) and Kebab Kofta Iraqi. Everything was just perfect and the bread is fresh out of the clay oven at the front of the restaurant. We were particularly happy with the kebab, which was amazingly tender and perfectly seasoned, served with a nice fresh salad (side options are available). The portions were nicely sized and well presented. Overall a wonderful meal. The restaurant is nice and comfortable, but not fancy, and the staff is attentive. It's also quiet, which makes it pleasant to have a quiet conversation. The location in the heart of the Edgware Road area has been there for many years, and can get a bit crowded at times. They don't seem to take table reservations, but we've always managed to get a table when we've been there. Walking by, however, I have seen the place full, so there's a slight risk of waiting if you go there at peak times. The risk is worth it, however. It is truly a great place for Persian, Iraqi, and Middle Eastern food.

I was close to Marble Arch and wanted a nice place to have dinner. Walked down to Saffron. It was lovely and warm. Staff were friendly. I got hummus and bread for my starter. The bread was a little thin and crunchy for my liking. The main was lovely, it was a chicken shish (a variation of the Turkish shish). I would have liked to have had homemade chilli sauce or salsa but instead they bottles of hot sauce. If you’re around Edgware Road then I would recommend this place. Prices are a bit higher than some of the other places offering the same food but it’s just about within reason. Lastly, there is a 15% service charge.

The koobideh was flavorful and well-seasoned, while the rice was light and fluffy—both were delicious and satisfying. The restaurant itself has a nice ambiance, making it a comfortable spot to enjoy a good meal. The service was attentive.

I got an evening takeaway order of kebab, but it was overpriced under spiced and didn’t come with bread. With so many better competitors on the street, it’s a hard sell to come to this place again.

The customer service is quite appalling. You get told on the phone that you don’t need reservation but when you get there, you’re told that you need to reserve or wait outside in the cold for a table to be available. The food took long to come whilst the Naan (only 1 bread) got cold and nothing Cree with it (originally should come with a Humous). The staffs weren’t really friendly, no friendly vibe. The prices don’t match with what’s on Google review. Food is gone more expensive and you only get one side with each main. For example, you order a fish mean or a Kobedeh, you either get a rice or chips or salad with it for £17.95.
