Staff was friendly, food delicious and big portions!

Very delicious food, lovely service and restaurant- thank you

Good food for good value. Liked the vegetarian dishes :)

Great customer service and food. Reasonable price.

Amazing food and a calm atmosphere. I would definitely recommend and come again myself.

Great food, 2nd time here now and won’t be the last 😊. Highly recommend a visit!

Koobideh kabob was succulent, full of flavour and absolutely delicious! Mixed grill was excellent. Service and atmosphere were great. Can’t wait to come back!

Excellent food in a beautiful venue

best persian food that we have tried.

Excellent Persian restaurant, I had the ghormeh sabzi and it was delicious. Friendly staff and good service with a nice, traditional Persian atmosphere

Amazing food and lovely atmosphere

Perfect place for persian food lovers.

Great service and great portion sizes

The best food I have had in a while!

Delicious food, good prices, very kind staff. Chicken was very juicy, the baba ganoush was perfectly spice. Recommend to try no. 13 aubergine garlic dip!

Food was delicious! Definitely recommend and affordable for the portion sizes.

Lovely servers & fantastic food 😊

I am Persian and have eaten many ghormeh sabzi dishes in my home. This was by far the best - the lamb was cooked so well! The staff are very friendly and the service was wonderful.

Very Nice place with a delicious food

The best persian meal i had so far

Really cozy and nice place to eat in.

I had been to Saffron 7 years ago and loved the food so much, so when I came up from my home on the South coast to meet my daughter in Richmond, I took her for dinner there. She loved the Chenjeh Makhsos (No.31) kebabs she had and I ordered the chicken Fesenjan which I had had on my last visit - delicious! The new owner said they didn't have the Fesenjan on their menu to begin with but lots of customers asked for it, so they reinstated it on their menu and it was as delicious (walnut & pomegranate sauce) as my first time tasting it. Lovely, cosy, restaurant with very friendly staff.

The food was great my only concern was that the bill included a 10% service charge without showing it explicitly. That is to say that the amounts listed on the bill did not add up to the total. To get to the total amount you had to add 10%.I was happy to pay the 10%and would have added it, but I did not like this approach, which might have led someone to double tip. The food is still good and the (12.5%) service charge is now clear on the bill

Good food, came with sauces for no extra fees, food came at a good temperature

Great food and great staff! Lovely little cosy restaurant with delicious authentic food and really friendly and knowledgeable staff.

A deliciously fresh and aromatic Mixed Grill, Saffron surpassed expectations and then some. A cosy atmosphere and polite staff to add.

Very nice Persian food And very friendly

We had such a lovely night there. The staff were very welcoming, and the food was amazing and delicious. Everyone was so kind and hospitable. Thank you, Saffron, for creating a wonderful memory for us!

I dined at saffron for lunch today and it was honestly amazing. I’ve tried my fair share of Persian food but saffron definitely takes first place! The staff were so friendly and welcoming and the interior was a wonder to look at with all the art and trinkets around! I was seated downstairs but had a look on the second floor and ir was wonderful, will definitely come back with family and friends to sit upstairs as it feels like your own private place! Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Richmond or looking for somewhere nice and well priced to eat! I also learned that Saffron has been there for over 30 years! No wonder its still there its amazing, defo recommend! 10/10!!

This was my first time ordering food from Zaferan, and I have to say it was truly low quality and terrible. The Joojeh Kebab was tasteless, and the Kabab Koobideh had an overwhelming flavor of solidified fat. I was completely dissatisfied and will never choose this place again.

Great local restaurant with authentic, tasty Persian food and very good service.

Very delicious food, great service, thank you 👍👍

Lovely food and friendly staff. I thought their service was at professional standard. Layla who was serving us was so friendly....I'll be coming back to this restaurant again in future..

The food was delicious service was quick and the waitress were super nice

Beautiful food & service. Came for a family birthday.

The food was very nice! Mya was a great server!

Restaurant Review I recently visited this cosy and quiet restaurant with my family. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it a lovely spot for a relaxed meal. The service was absolutely amazing – the waitress was incredibly attentive and made sure our table was well cared for throughout the evening. The food arrived very quickly, which was a pleasant surprise. While most of the dishes were delicious, I found the koobideh chicken slightly dry, but it wasn’t a major issue. Overall, it was a great dining experience, and I’d definitely recommend it for anyone looking for a comfortable place with excellent service!

Delicious food. It's worth to try if you haven't been here.

Outstanding Persian food.. A must visit for some gastronomy experience

Great little gem in the heart of Richmond. Great Persian cuisine and fantastic service.

The food blew us away. Lovely atmosphere and service. We will be back!

I had an absolutely delightful dining experience here! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, with a perfect balance of coziness and elegance. The food was simply outstanding. I ordered the Momtaz, and it was a symphony of flavours – perfectly cooked, beautifully presented, and incredibly fresh. Amazing koobideh ever in London

The atmosphere truly took me back home, warm nostalgic and comforting. The food was absolutely amazing. Mahicheh was delicious. Highly recommended.

The food is very lovely, the portion sizes are very generous, would recommend!

Very nice and relaxing restaurant. The staff were fantastic. The dizi dish is amazing! Will definitely be coming back!

Saffron Persian Restaurant exceeded all my expectations! The rice was absolutely brilliant—fluffy, aromatic, and perfectly cooked. It was the highlight of an already exceptional meal. Each dish was bursting with authentic Persian flavors, and the presentation was stunning. The service was warm and attentive, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. The ambiance was cozy and elegant, transporting you straight to the heart of Persian culture. If you’re looking for a memorable dining experience with top-quality Persian cuisine, Saffron is a must-visit. I’ll definitely be coming back for more!

Service is always good but the FOOD, is the star of the show. I often come here with the baby, and he enjoys the outdoor patio and the lentil soup while I read or relax. The food is phenomenal.

We didn't get any seat on the ground floor, so we had seating on the first floor which was not a big area but luckily we were the only ones there. The food and drinks were delicious. We really liked the grills and the tea was amazing & authentic. We ejoyed having lunch there. The service was also good. The toilet was clean.

Very good service, we had a very good time and delicious food.

Amazing bamiyeh like my gran made. Love coming here

Amazing food and quantities are great. Doesn't feel like you're in London!

Fab food! Quiet, but was a wet Thursday in December. The lady serving us was wonderful!

Brilliant authentic Persian food. Try the Chenjeh kabab when you are there.

The food was really great.And the service was good

Food portions are great and tastes so good!

Strongly recommended, one of the best restaurants in london

Very good place, the food and environment is amazing and the staff friendly.

Excellent food. Some of the best Persian cuisine I have had in London and Surrey. Staff very friendly and service excellent. Well worth more than a visit.

Freshly cooked and well presented food. Prompt and friendly service in pleasant surroundings.

Lovely dinner at Saffron, with very attentive staff

We love Saffron !! The atmosphere is perfect and the food is fresh and delicious.

So far, I've been to Saffron twice and on both occasions the customer service has been first class, the staff are so friendly, so patient, so informative. This, all before I speak about the food which was full of flavour, seasoned and juicy. The lamb I had was cooked well, tasty and moist, far from being tough or dry... I would describe Saffron as a perfect location to take friends or family for a great evening of food and tea. It has become my new favourite restaurant in Richmond. Will return again soon.

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

They have amazing food and friendly staff Highly recommend them!

Absolutely delicious food and lovely, quick service Xx

Excellent Koobideh, generous portions and delicious!

Lovely food. Service a bit slow and had to be reminded.

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!

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!

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

Such a lovely place. The service was great!

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

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

Great food, very nice hospitality by Debbie

Very Nice flavour and very good value

Delightful food. Very friendly place

The excellent service the staff are amazing and most of all the food was wonderful all four of us totally agreed how nice it was we will certainly revisit this restaurant the next time we visit Richmond kind regards Leon 👍🥂

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.
