    It was good, good amount of food for the cost but wasn't overwhelmed with it. The lamb kabob was a little tough. The tandoori chicken was good but needed the yogurt sauce that came with the lamb. Service started great but then a large party was seated and he disappeared. We were going to get more drinks but not meant to be, not even water refills. Had to ask manager for the check, so that part was a little unfortunate, seems like host/manager would check for empty water glasses when a server is busy.

    Zafron RestaurantResponded on March 19, 2023Thank you for dining with us, we appreciate it. We regret that your experience was not perfect. Please know that we are always happy to work to fix dishes when you are in our restaurant and could have happily provided you with "yogurt sauce." The information has been shared with our team.

    Food was amazing, no doubt. Service was good but not like the one we experienced in our previous visits, again no complaints just minor things. They messed up their Baklava, one main reason for me. They had this circular Baklava, very special, the one we had in this visit was sone frozen horrible baklava.

    Zafron RestaurantResponded on March 16, 2023We appreciate your dining with us and we regret that you do not like the change to our Baklava. We did make that change in 2020. We hope to see you again soon.

    Our second time at Zafron. Was seated and waited 8 minutes to be noticed by our server. She apologized and blamed the hostess for not letting her know. Took our order and my husband’s beer came but I had to wait for my cocktail. Now we are there 20 minutes and finally my drink arrived. Again server apologized and blamed the bartender saying there is only one. The place wasn’t crowded so don’t understand that excuse. The rack of lamb was outstanding however along with the raisin lentil basmati rice. All in all we will patronize Zafron again but hopefully we don’t get that same server.

    Zafron is always good. Relaxing atmosphere and delicious food. Lower service rating because our server seemed to want to hurry us up, repeatedly coming to our table and interrupting our conversation when no one was waiting for a table.

    We always love the menu offerings at Zaffron and the food is well prepared but the restaurant was very busy and very noisy when we were there (7:30pm on Saturday night) and that didn't lend itself well to a relaxed dining experience. But if noise doesn't bother you and you don't mind partaking in your neighbor's conversation then you'll be fine. Their food is good.

    Zafron RestaurantResponded on February 27, 2023We regret that your experience was loud, some clients are a but louder than others and we cannot really control that. We appreciate your business and we look forward to seeing you again. Thank you for your feedback.

    We tried this restaurant on Valentine's Day. Service was minimal being on a special day. The food was ok, nothing over the top. We just wanted to try another Persian Restaurant that's why we picked this place but decided that we liked the other Persian Restaurant better.

    First time here and we will definitely be back. The food was delicious! Everything we ordered was fresh and so flavorful. We had the Zafron wings the Mediterranean salad. The red pepper hummus was literally the best! I got the Chilean sea bass kabobs and my husband got the tenderloin kabob both were delicious. Excited we found a great local restaurant.

    The food was very good and the service was as well. I do struggle how 1 appetizer, two main courses, One tap water and one lemonade totaled approximately $80 plus tip either they are generally overpriced or they were taking advantage of Valentine’s Day diners. Either way, I would not go back. Imagine if I had had a glass of wine.
