Saffron in Richmond upon Thames

Delicious food, genuinely kind service, pleasant atmosphere with soft music. Huge portions, irresistible food.

Absolutely delicious food and lovely, quick service Xx

They have amazing food and friendly staff Highly recommend them!

Had a super time at Saffron. I have great expectations and the were met. Lovely atmosphere, lovely service...food was exceptional and I like additional garlic with my food...so yes all expectations met. Cosy restaurant and exceptional value for money and you actually have a conversation. Highly recommended... x

Very good value. Lovely service. Big portions. Good quality!

first time trying Persian food!! The food is really good and authentic !

There was five of us and the meal was delicious! There was massive potions and came to around £30 each! So cheap for what you get and such a good place for a meal!

Such a lovely place. The service was great!

Cozy persian restaurant with variety choices of the Persian kitchen Good service and definitely 👍 food

Great food, very nice hospitality by Debbie

Lovely meal enjoyed with friends, can't fault any of it. Good portion sizes and a great selection of kebab dishes to suit everyone. Had lunch on a Sunday afternoon and the service was excellent. The restaurant space is small but will laid out and doesn't feel too cramped. Definitely recommended

Delightful food. Very friendly place

Very Nice flavour and very good value

We ordered the kebab koobideh skewers with naan bread. The meat had a very strong lamb taste and smell, the biggest issue was the chewiness of the naan bread, we could hardly swallow it. They usually include a delicious spicy sauce they didn’t include in our order last night which was disappointing. We’ve been to many Persian restaurants including Gandom and this one in comparison is pretty poor. Hope this feedback is taken.

One of the best Iranian food i had and very freindly atmosfer i recommend Zafran to every body regards Debie

Very nice experience and great food. Friendly staff. Strongly suggested

Excellent service The food was amazing, portions were huge we were a table of 6 and the mixed grill for 4 was more than enough Tea and baklava was a nice way to end 😋

Delicious food, lively atmosphere and excellent service

The Mirza ghasemi was very good Recommend to anyone

Great food, great service, great atmosphere. I will return in the near future.

Amazing food and service. Recommend to anyone!

We reached the restaurant at almost 15:50. we ordered hommos, dolma, a mixed grill for 4, a glass of wine,7 up, and a peroni. After almost 20 minutes we had the appetizers we ate it and we started complaining about how the service is slow until almost 15:36 when we received the main course the mix grill was so fresh with a large portion with an appetite 😋 and we started digging in we loved the food we had no problem with waiting because it worth it. I highly recommend Saffron Restaurant to anyone who wants to try and enjoy the persian food

Delicious food! The portions are very filling. Parnia who served us has been great. Highly recommend!

Superb food, friendly staff and perfect-sized portions, not too big or too small. Attractive and peaceful and always open everyday after midday, which is convenient.

My partner and I had mixed grill for two, bloody marvellous!

Home cooked Persian food with great service. Highly recommend

Yet another successful visit to this beautiful family run restaurant. This is my many of the positive visits to this nice family friendly restaurant. I came here after a year this time and , food has rather gone from top to Marvellous, service at its best, owner and staff are BEING HUMAN. Cozy and yet very homely hospitality. Full of warmth and yummy for tummy food. Quality, Service, Portions are all value for money and if you looking for a healthy delicious food. Enjoy it....Dont forget to end your meal with combo of Icecream and Faluda noodles. Plus Persian Tea

Delicious once, frankly, worth it

The taste is sweet and delicious I can't imagine the food was delicious and we ate it quickly :) I advise you to try it Prices are a bit high

Relaxed and comfortable environment - beautiful and tasty food a nice find in Richmond

I ordered option 24 which was kobideh with rice as a takeaway just before they closed on Wednesday this week. Delicious authentic soft mince kebabs with a generous portion of rice. I was stuffed and satisfied. I was welcomed and greeted warmly by the staff member, she had my order ready with salad and cutlery and complimentary sweets. Great service and will be sure to see them soon! Thank you

Really nice food and delicious friendly staff Highly recommended if you are looking for a quality restaurant

Enormous portions, one main (polow) would satisfy 3 people. Really tasty from smoky aubergine starter to main to the fresh as fresh can be side salad. Everything was exquisite. Despite being delivered a few miles! Would definitely order again from here.

Great atmosphere, nice Persian music playing in the background and the staff were great (parnia was super friendly and helped me choose what to eat on the menu and it was a delicious choice). Definitely recommend going here :)

I'm in love with your staff who’s name was Parnia. Take care of her😊😍

Excellent service, great food, really a taste of Persia in London

Great service, delicious food, friendly atmosphere, big portions and great value

The food was lovely and the service was very good. We have given 4 stars for atmosphere because if you are sat next to large group of diners it is very hard to hear what is being said at your own table. Not the restaurant fault, but something to bear in mind if you are going out for a romantic dinner. However we would recommend eating at this restaurant.

Great food!! Parnia was great host

Such amazing food..never tasted anything like it Perfect service..very generous portions Great value for money You should visit and experience Persian hospitality at its finest

Always wonderful food, today we had kebab barg and khoreshte gheime, truly hit the spot. Lovely service

Went here for lunch today and the host was so lovely. Food was really good and it was quiet, I love koobideh and this was one of the best. Will be coming back.

Excellent lunch menu and very friendly service - we will come back!

Nice service with amazing food. Specially Soltani. Very nice staff. 100% recommend

Lovely food, lovely staff, clean and a little gem in Richmond ..

It's one of my favourite spots in Richond.

100 % recommendation Fresh food friendly staff

Sunday lunchtime...we had a selection of starters and main courses, every one of which was delicious. Generous portions too. Highly recommend this restaurant!

Highly recommended… best taste… friendly staff and high quality food. I had a great experience with my family in this restaurant.

Delicious, fresh food. Excellent menu, delightful service. Highly recommend this restaurant, we had a great lunch. Babaganoush, feta salad, lamb, yum!

This is an absolutely fantastic restaurant. The food is always perfectly cooked and delicious.

Lovely restaurant! Delicious food, with many vegetarian options & we sat upstairs which felt very cosy and exclusive since no one else was there! Service from Pourria was excellent too!

We had such a delicious lunch at Saffron. Really authentic and tasty food - probably the best baba ganoush I’ve ever had! We also had the paneer with walnuts and herbs, the Shirazi salad and the vegetarian stew. Such great value and lovely, friendly service. ⭐️

Great food and the presentation was great, appetizers were delicious. Would definitely recommend the grilled lamb kofta and chicken they were grilled to perfection and after eating getting a Turkish tea ☕ .The food is Halal and everything was just great 😃

I usually don't write negative reviews for restaurants, but unfortunately, the customer service we experienced yesterday was really disappointing. Edit: I usually don’t leave any bad reviews for businesses, I changed it to 5 stars review because of your reply to my concerns. However, I want to be upfront about one issue during my visit. The old lady with the curly hair provided poor customer service and wasn’t particularly pleasant. This affected my overall experience at the restaurant, and I felt it was important to bring it to your attention to help improve future customer experiences.

Lovely attentive staff and nice food.

One of the best Persian restaurants in town. The food was amazing and the staff was very professional. Definitely worth a stop.

excellent food and service on a very special occasion ❤️

Excellent atmosphere. Very busy so a little noisy.

One of the best Persian Restaurants in London. The food was super tasty. The setting and friendly staff added to the charm. You have an option of outdoor or indoor sitting. Note that main course food portion is great. So 2 people can easily share one main course. Don't miss the Koobideh with Naan. It's spices and oil dripping from Koobideh make the Naan very delicious. Stick to Persian dishes for an awesome experience. Don't order chicken wings. Not their expertise. I would love to go back to Saffron soon

Lovely hospitality and kind staff, love the staff🌸

Brilliant food as always. Saffron is our local Persian and a family favourite. Highly recommend the Joojeh, Kubideh, Barg, Baghali pulao, Ghorme sabzi and all the starters.

We went to the saffron restaurant twice, and everytime we had an amazing experience of both food and the cosy environment. Very close to the richmond station with lovely staff and great hospitality. Food was excellent and I recommend to try kebabs there to experience taste of delicious persian food.

My kubideh was fine and tasted good by my nieces salad was a little 'green' lots of herbs and not so much of anything else. Big problem was service we had to ask for an extra menu , the one I took was on another table as our table did not have one. Staff should come to you not you to them

Amazing food! Loved their costumes service. Laila jan was professional and kind. Recommend this place highly.

Great service, good tea - amazing food

Layla was lovely and so was the food. Will definitely come again.

The food was delicious, and the staff were amiable and professional, thanks

Lovely food as always. The waitress Debbie is very friendly, welcoming and attentive. Highly recommended.

This is by far one of the worst restaurant I’ve been to, food was very bland and porous very small only five cubes of meat on my plate, very sour salad, again horrible sour grape leaf dolma. Staffs don’t care about customers don’t ask if you need anything? Need Drink? Dessert or ask how’s food, they didn’t even clean our table when took the plate just kept looking at us behind the bar. Just very disappointing.

Best restaurant to have a delicious food and at the same time enjoy the cosy environment. Portions are large and generous and the taste is great. I recommend lamb shank with special rice for meat lovers, and also there is also plenty of vegetarian options. Staff are friendly 🙏 thanks.

Bad food. another typical richmond's disappointment.

Great meal with fantastic service from the lovely Helia, will definitely be coming back

Really lovely place - straight and simple, excellent lovely service, really delicious hearty and no nonsense food - felt healthy, nourishing and like home-cooked food. If we lived in the area this would be a regular for us. Thank you!

Went in for lunch, spoilt for choice on the menu, well priced, huge portions, excellent service, clean and friendly. Definitely visit again.

Food was absolutely amazing!!! The lamb kofta was perfection, succulent and mouth watering! The chips and bread was also 10/10 including the hummous. Staff could not have been any more friendly or helpful. We will be back!!

This was my first time at Saffron resturant. The food was good, I ordered koobideh with bread. Waiting time was not bad. My recommendation to the restaurant is to try to make the koobideh less fatty and use. Overall not bad.

Food was delicious and bug portion Staff was lovely and kind and place was enjoyable and good atmosphere. Highly recommended 😃

Absolutely delicious food and incredible service.

Amazing service by Debbie and beautiful food as well. Would recommend 10/10

It was very well presented and quaint

Enjoyed all the food, and staff were friendly and attentive. Definitely recommend.

Amazing food, big portions and friendly service. Super recommend

We had the baby chicken on bone and chicken skewers and lamb skewers. The baby chicken on bone was a beautiful. The lamb was okay and the chicken on skewers was beautiful so overall we found the chicken better than the lamb highly recommended.

All staff amazing and so its the food , i loved the atmosphere and the food .

I live locally and come a lot. Lovely food and reasonably priced

Great fresh and tasty Persian food at this restaurant today. The lentil soup and falafels were particularly good as was the service and the price. We will definitely return when we are next in Richmond.

Had the lunch deal, was excellent value lots of bread and the chicken and fish dish was fantastic.

Great food, great service, we really enjoy it

Lovely - as usual! Consistently great.

Great food, amazing service, recommend 100%

Amazing food and friendly staff

The food was absolutely banging it was definitely worth the visit the chicken was juicy and flavorful and lamb was just too good i recommend visiting them and getting the saffron ice cream.

Really yummy and fast service. Lovely interior.

The best Persian food we have ever had and we live in Dubai! Absolutely amazing! Do not miss trying the food at this restaurant!

I've eaten in 10 or so Persian restaurants in the uk. 3 or 4 in london, including the apadana and the Persian Palace. This is by far the best one. It's really not even close. If you find yourself in West London and like Persian food, it's definitely worth the visit.

Fantastic Persian food in the centre of Richmond!

Truly special restaurant in the heart of Richmond. The black tea is delicious and the dishes are very interesting. The environment is nice and elegant and the staff is friendly and kind. Fantastic for those who love learning about other cultures.

Delicious food and very respectful staffs i rlly recommend thank you

Saffron Grill is located in the heart of Richmond. They have friendly staff, and make Persian food with real taste and go above and beyond to ensure a memorable dining experience.
