About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Good for groups
Dishes Made with love that will touch your soul. Persian cuisine is rich in history and tradition. A tantalizing exploration of flavors and textures. It’s a culinary journey that takes you through the aromatic lanes of saffron-infused rice, the tangy delights of pomegranate molasses and the hearty comfort of slow-cooked stews. Creating Persian food is an art form where each ingredient is treated with respect and each dish is a celebration of flavor balance. The delicate dance between sweet and sour. the harmony of spices and the thoughtful presentation all contribute to the unique allure of Persian cooking.

    Saffron is a delightful Persian restaurant. It's our second time there and we enjoyed it as much as the first time. It's a good place to take friends for a special occasion.

    We had one night to entertain friends from Italy and we wanted to have a nice time with great food, drink and a pleasant ambiance so we chose Saffron. Once again, we were not disappointed. Everyone enjoyed the grilled zucchini (a new must have!) and Salad Shirazi. Along with the filet and chicken kebabs, our table LOVED the FESENJOON and GHEYMEH BADEMJAN. If you haven't tried the Fesenjoon, they will bring you a sample which we recommend everyone try. The staff was genuinely pleased to have us there and we are treated like valued guests!

    Unique and amazing drinks. Kebabs with high quality perfectly prepared meats. Deserts are unique and delicious and ice cream trio spectacular. The only criticism is the rice might have been better seasoned. Other than that very impressive and I would highly recommend going.

    We had a great experience at this restaurant last night. The service was great. The portions were amazing way too much to eat for one sitting so we were lucky enough to take home some for lunch today We will definitely be returning.

    Our overall experience dining at Saffron was very good. The food was excellent, and the wait staff were very accommodating. The owner came by our table and we had a very nice conversation. That's a nice touch. The only downside I can think of was the somewhat slow service. We weren't in a hurry, but it seems like the food could have been delivered to our table a little more timely. That's a minor concern, though. The drinks and appetizers were brought to our table fairly quickly. We will go back again.

    Thank you so much for this lovely review Dennis! We appreciate you taking the time to leave these kind words. I do want to personally apologize for any delays that you experienced on Wednesday. We staffed the kitchen according to how many reservations were on the books and to our surprise we had more than double the amount of guests show up. I believe that Restaurant Week played a role in that. We hope to see you back again soon!

    Simply an AWESOME experience. Amazing cocktails, perfect surprising appetizers, our entrees were ‘impressive’ - all yummy and served in a wonderful, cocooning atmosphere. Well done Ashley! Please know that we will be back. If you are a ‘newbie’ to Saffron, from our experience you will not be disappointed! Saffron is a Palm Springs ‘GEM’ of a restaurant.

    Gourmet Mediterranean! How wonderful. Splendid offerings, authentic flavors, generous portions and reasonably-priced cocktails and wine. What a great addition to the Palm Springs dining scene! Having visited multiple Mediterranean countries and privileged to have Persian friends who take price in their cooking, we were DELIGHTED to dine at Saffron and very much look forward to returning - the sooner the better! Very friendly management and staff!
