Saffron Kitchen feels like dining at a friend's home! The warm atmosphere and incredibly friendly staff made our visit special. We indulged in the heavenly Mantu dumplings and a flavorful lamb kabob that simply melted in our mouths. 🍽️

Dessert was a delightful surprise - our Fermi was complimentary! The manager's generosity truly touched us. The cocktails were a hit, although I opted for a classic margarita after trying the Greek 510. The cozy dining spaces, both inside and outside, add to the charm. Can’t wait to return! 😍✨
