This is no ordinary place. I've tried the Hot Moroccan Chicken & Fried Fish during sandwich week to-go and dine in.Honestly, best huge! crunchy portion with juicy flavor I can recall in a decade.You certainly will be full if you eat it all.The fish is light but just as good!! There is so much I haven't tried, but even the orange blossom(gf called it fairy juice) was amazing.The hospitality was like home w great energy.I'm excited to come back! Do Not sleep on this amazing place!

Thank you so much.We will always have fairy juice waiting for you
It's easy to see why the Chef Omar Anani is up for a James Beard award.Such an unassuming restaurant in an odd part of Detroit that I would never have expected it to be in but done so well that you don't feel like you are, where you are. I wanted to order everything on the menu but got the Moroccan Chicken Sandwich (Crispiest ever and extremely juicy and full of flavor) , Saffron Tomato Dip (it and the house made pita chips were AMAZING), and the Harissa Potatoes (great flavor and perfect spice flavor level) 🔥🔥🔥🔥 The Cold Brew Cardamom Latte was delicious as well! Definitely will be visiting many more times to try everything else.
We had a delicious meal at Saffron De Twah!! Chef Omar choose all the appetizers and two main courses and all were wonderful.The main courses, our big enough to split. The chicken sandwich was enough for three people. The food is excellent.The atmosphere is so so. Just be prepared.It’s not a finished off dining in restaurant experience. Definitely have reservations.
