   We are so happy to have this recent dining addition in Palm Springs. The Mezes are so good you feel like you are dining in someone’s Persian kitchen. Cocktails delicious too. Friendly and attentive service.

   Unfortunately we had great expectations! The service was great Elija the server was very nice ! Food was a different story - no taste at all salad came out from refrigerator cold and unpleasant - the kebab was cold undone and no taste at all ! Had to ask to heat it up - was heat up by microwave? Still not what we are used to eat at that level of restaurant- or any level ! The worst Persian food ever ! I have a feeling the chef was absent !!!!! Beware

   We’re disappointed to read such a misleading review, especially considering the facts don’t align with your claims. No salad was ordered during your visit, and for the record, we don’t have a microwave in our kitchen—everything is made fresh to order. Our kebabs are marinated, fire-grilled, and seasoned with care, consistently praised for their flavor. It’s unfortunate when guests arrive with preconceived expectations and resort to exaggerations instead of honesty. Our chef was very much present, as always, ensuring each dish met our standard of quality. We take great pride in our cuisine and hospitality, and it’s clear this review does not reflect the experience we provide to our guests. It’s also intriguing that you left out the fact that you RAVED about the Fesenjoon & Faloodeh!

   A wonderful meal…again! Ashley and Sev and Mimi run a tight ship and Ashley is the hostess with the mostest! Our party was a bit talkative, so our apologies for any loud laughing! But the ambience made us comfortable. I’m in love with The Fesenjoon! Love to challenge Sev to try it as a vegetarian dish. (Maybe mushrooms or Jackfruit?) Nothing but compliments! One of our fave destinations for dinner!❤️❤️

   Thank you so very much for your kind words and continued support—it truly means the world to us! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed your evening, and there’s no need to apologize—laughter and good company are always welcome at Saffron. We’ll definitely pass along your vegetarian Fesenjoon idea to Sev—he loves a good culinary challenge! On behalf of Ashley, Sev, Mimmo, and the entire team, thank you for making us one of your favorite dinner destinations. We can’t wait to welcome you back again soon!

   We visited saffron on friday, we were super excited to try a Persian restaurant so I booked for my family since we traveled to Palm Springs. We are middle eastern and are used to Persian food and the co owner visited our table a few times to check in with us and pre warned us it would be more what the call "modern" Persian. There is no such thing as modern Persian you are either serving Persian food or not. We ordered drinks they were amazing, appetizer tahdig trio 8/10 the gheymeh stew was the only one with not authentic flavor but the fesenjoon and ghormeh sabzi were great! Kashkeh bademjoon was decent but we advised to add grilled crispy onions on top that make it a plus plus!!! The food entrees from the rice to chicken kabob, to filet to koobideh were lacking flavor, not to bash them but we would love for the restaraunt to succeed and offer Persian food. The only advice we had which we shared with the co owner (it was a lady) was some advice on what to fix and on another note to add just learn how to make more authentic rice (basmati, long grain) we asked if it was long grain and basmati they said yes but to be honest it doesn't seem like it it's very small grain if it were extra long grain you would see the length and that's something Persians take very serious when making rice is the look and taste. The meat needs to be either marinated or prepared in a different way too hard to chew. They did mention they've tried to do "barg" which is thinly cut and they weren't successful which is fine thanks for being honest but why not take initiate to learn and master it, especially if you're charging $39 for a kings plate that's considered soltani. If they did this it would show their true dedication the the business and its consumers the lack of knowledge and initiative is what would prevent us from coming back. We wish them success and luck on their journey!

   Thank you for your visit and your attempt to school us on Persian food. As our co-owner explained, we offer a MODERN take on Persian cuisine tailored to the diverse tastes of our PALM SPRINGS GUESTS. You missed the point, we know how to make barg—and also know it wasn’t well received in its TRADITIONAL FORM by our broader audience (Non-Persians). Our goal isn’t to replicate your home cooking, but to present Persian flavors with creativity and quality. We value feedback, but we’re confident in our direction and proud to serve guests who appreciate both tradition AND evolution. You loved 2/3 stews and praised the appetizers then somehow claim that we lack initiative. Best wishes finding a place that better suits your rigid expectations. No need for you to come back here.

   The food is amazing and the staff is very friendly. Ashley, one of the owners, makes you feel special and welcome. So refreshing to have a great meal served by friendly folks. Some very interesting and tasty dishes. As a local resident of Palm Springs it is nice to have Saffron as an option to my regular rotation of places to visit.

   Found the food very bland. Ordered the appetizer sampling the 3 stews. The beef and vegetarian were so bland and the chicken was sweet and much better. We ordered the cheesecake for desert and it was a joke. It was frozen solid and when we tried to cut it the cake almost slid on to the floor it was so hard. Only 6 people in the whole place at 6 oclock. Won't be back

   We’re disappointed to read this, especially since our servers checked in multiple times and no concerns were raised during your visit. Despite identifying in your OpenTable reservation as pescatarian/vegetarian, you ordered meat stews and entrees—then criticized their flavor. We have plenty of pescatarian/vegetarian options that would have suited your likes. As for the cheesecake we did apologize for sending the wrong one out as we had accidentally given you one from the freezer not thawed, and once you mentioned it, we immediately replaced it to your satisfaction. We are a new restaurant coming out of Palm Springs season, and while we may not be packed nightly yet, we’re proud of the quality we serve and the many guests who leave happy. Best of luck with your future dining choices.

    We loved the great service and friendly atmosphere. My only issue was with the chicken kabobs which both my wife and I found way too spicy. Otherwise a good dining experience

    We are deeply disappointed to receive a 3-star review after going above and beyond to accommodate your dietary restrictions and personal requests. We honored your “no carb” request by replacing naan with fresh-cut vegetables for your hummus and substituting extra grilled vegetables for rice. We also removed the Anaheim pepper from your plates, as you requested, to avoid any concerns about spiciness. Despite all accommodations, you sent your chicken back, claiming it was “too spicy.” However, we use only flavorful, not spicy, ingredients such as turmeric, garlic, and onion. To ensure we hadn’t missed something, our kitchen staff tasted the dish, and all agreed it was not spicy. This leads us to believe the issue was more about personal taste perception rather than the food itself.
