Saffron Kitchen

Amazing food with rich, authentic flavors and generous portions. The Kobida kabob and mantu were outstanding, and everything tasted fresh and homemade. The staff were incredibly warm and welcoming, making the whole experience even better. A must-visit if you love great food and genuine hospitality.

I’m visiting Buffalo and to my shock and delight there’s a Persian restaurant!!! Ordered twice from here the meat is incredibly fresh, I look for it to not be gamey, and not so much as a bite of weird texture. I hope this place keeps on for a while cause it is delicious- thank you to the owners you made my trip!

🚨 EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTING SERVICE EXPERIENCE — PLEASE READ BEFORE DINING IN 🚨 This was our third visit to this restaurant, and while the food has always been great, what happened today was extremely disappointing and unprofessional. My uncle’s family and I went for dinner and ordered a lot of food — honestly, we had so many dishes that I didn’t even get pictures of everything, except one. Our total bill came to around $425. We paid by card and left a $40 tip. While we were sitting and drinking tea afterward, a waitress who wasn’t even our server (a young man had served our table the entire time) suddenly came over and told my uncle, in front of the whole family, that he should have tipped at least $70 instead of $40. Even though we were shocked by her behavior, my uncle still gave her a

underperformed and underwhelmed. When we got there we should have known something was wrong considering it was empty at 6pm. Big place and it’s clean but it’s extremely awkward. Waiter didn’t speak to us not even smile. Biggest issue is we ordered masala fries and got served plain fries that probably took 3 minutes to air fry and I told my husband not to pay for them but unfortunately we’re not those people. Why would I order plain fries??? Crazy. The best part was the white sauce and the water. Never coming back. GO TO SOFRA RESTAURANT

Saffron Kitchen is truly a gem. The food is incredible — deeply flavorful, beautifully prepared, and clearly influenced by Middle Eastern cuisine with what I’m told is a Persian touch that makes it even more special. The saffron tea alone is worth the visit — so warming, fragrant, and comforting. It feels like something meant to be savored slowly. The space itself is large and thoughtfully laid out. Even though it’s a big restaurant, it never feels overwhelming or too noisy. It’s comfortable, welcoming, and easy to enjoy your meal without distraction. The staff is always pleasant and kind, which adds to the experience. Their desserts are also excellent — a perfect way to end the meal. They have a spacious area for parties and banquets as well, which would be beautiful for gatherings or
