Saffron Persian Cuisine

Nice portion size, decent flavor in the majority of the dishes. The chicken kebabs were very tender. The kubideh is normally my favorite, but this one had a somewhat bitter taste, and wasn't as juicy as others. The lamb was very juicy and tender.. They also have a somewhat reduced menu due to Covid. Service was good, ambiance was good as well.

Place was empty but the food was delicious! First time going and the server explained all the dishes on the menu. I forgot the names of the dishes, but the flavors were really great. There wasn’t one that I didn’t like. The stew was mildly bitter, but the rice complimented the dish so well. My chicken was moist and very flavorful. I also got an eggplant dish served with pita bread, but ended up eating it without the bread because it was that good. Service was quick and the presentation of each dish was beautiful! If you want to try something new, you won’t be disappointed with the array of dishes they have to offer!

The food was delicious but was overshadowed by limited menu (understandably so because of Covid), steep prices (though the serving is generous, the price is a bit steep considering the meat to rice ratios), and poor service. We felt slightly belittled by our server- not the most welcoming experience. Can’t say I’d come back.

First authentic Persian restaurant in San Antonio! We have been waiting for this place for quite a while. The food was hot, tasty, and absolutely homemade. I highly recommend the lamb shank! My only critique is that the restaurant was really quiet (could use some music 😎) and we were not offered fresh bread or sabzi that is customary for most Persian restaurants. Either way I will definitely be coming back!
