The food here is terrific. The staff are very friendly and helpful. We arrived very, very early in advance of joining friends for lunch and a very helpful waiter personally lead us to a local coffee house where we could wait until the table was ready. But the most important thing - the food is great. Try the sticky aubergines! And the lamb.

Gran selección de comida persa. Ligero pero muy saciante. Cordero de la olla que se derrite en la boca, shawarma impecable, falafels muy agradables, maravillosos lados de arroz esponjoso. Bueno para carnívoros, vegetarianos y veganos. Personal muy atento y servicial con todo. Y bastante asequible también. De primera.

El lugar era agradable y concurrido; la receta de la caña de cordero necesita alguna revisión; la concentración de pasta de tomoto debe reducirse significativamente; el sabor no era representativo del estofado persa real; el kabab era salado Kaske bademjion fue increíble

Me siento mal por salir de 2 estrellas porque la comida era de 5 estrellas, pero el personal muy poco acogedor y lleno de chismes sobre los clientes y yo mismo hago filosofía y sé lo que soy, soy la persona que te preguntó en la puerta si eres el propietario. Y hablan y se ríen fuerte como si estuvieran en un pub. El ambiente era perfecto aparte de su sonido de fondo. Ni siquiera puedes tener una conversación de calidad con su sonido de fondo. Desde el momento en que entramos dije hola en iraní y fue una respuesta muy fría al punto que quieren que me sienta mal delante de mi esposa, que es persa, pero mi señora y yo nos divertimos por los que hacen esto. De hecho, dejé toda mi cocina favorita de Oriente Medio en Glasgow que me hace sentir como en casa. Y la elección de la mesa estaban todos vacíos. Sé que hay un sistema de reservas, pero ella me dio la peor mesa debajo del calentador, lo que me hizo totalmente incómodo. Por el hecho de que todos los demás clientes entraron, ella les dio a elegir desde qué mesa les gusta sentarse. Totalmente ignorante y estaba llena de vergüenza, por probar una cocina diferente que me hace sentir inoportuna. Pero gracias, seguiré con mi comida cultural, y a mi esposa persa le encanta. Gracias al chef por la comida es perfecta ❤️.

Si bien la comida puede ser bastante buena, el servicio puede ser y (en dos ocasiones diferentes) ha sido bastante malo. Los Severs estaban demasiado impacientes para proporcionar información clara y lograron no escuchar solicitudes específicas con respecto a las preferencias. Hay demasiados otros excelentes restaurantes de Oriente Medio para volver a Azafrán.

Everything about this place is just really good. The Middle Eastern starters were excellent and we then shared the ‘mini’ sharing platter for two - it was brilliant but far from mini! In the end we made total gluttons of ourselves and there was some left over. We loved Saffron By Paradise and will definitely visit again next time we’re in Glasgow.

Okay service I suppose, but food was a let down. Kebabs were dry and tasteless and just looked like everything had been slapped on the plate when it arrived. Naan bread was hardly even warm. Expensive for mediocre food.

We went to saffron as a family as we had people visiting from down south. The food was some of the best we have had recently. The shawarmas were delicious and every dip we ordered was outstanding. The food was perfect for everyone to share and had a little bit of everything. We paired the food with a bottle of white and a red, which were both lovely too. The staff were very accommodating and friendly and the atmosphere was great as well. The best bit was at the end- when we were presented with the bill. The value for money in this place is unmatched in glasgow and we will definitely be back! For our party of 7- it averaged out at £35 a head and that was including service charge. Incredible value for money. We will definitely be back!!!

My 2 grown up kids too me here for a Father’s Day treat. I’d seen very good reviews on Instagram. What a lovely experience! The decor set the scene nicely. And then the food! We went for a large selection of the mazzeh (smallish sharing plates) as none of us have eaten Iranian food before and wanted to sample as many as possible. Wow! All the dishes - ranging from hummus (not like any hummus I’d had before) to pistachio, beetroot and tomatoey aubergine dips to sumac prawns to spicy wings and shawarma lamb were superb. And the dolmeh… yum! And bejewelled rice… and falafel.. Didn’t have any of the larger plates although they looked and smelled seriously good as they passed our table for other guests. Service was very good - informal and friendly. Will be back very soon!

I have been here multiple times. The quality of the Persian food they serve here is absolute brilliant. Amazing flavours of the starters, bejewelled rice a must try and a wagon load of top dishes mostly chicken and lamb. Enough said it inspired me to buy 2 Persian cook books and now enjoying this amazing food also at home. A must go to restaurant in Glasgow.

Drove 2 hours to get here. Was running late and asked to change the booking for half an hour later, that was refused and said they can do 15 minutes ( as if we are at some bazaar ). At arrival we found out we’ve got an hour and 15 minutes to order food, eat it all and leave as they’ve got reservations. I’ve never been told over the phone that there’s a time limit. The service was super slow too. Finished up booking a table at another Persian restaurant close by to get a full experience and not rush. The aura in the restaurant is super heavy and unpleasant. Don’t come if you’re sad.

Very Authentic Arabic/ Persian food. Good service , very well priced wines. Bistro style seating. I have spent 20 years working in the Middle East & this was one of the best Middle Eastern meals I have had. It’s a gem of the restaurant. The table next to us was a group of Omani students & they , while also being really lovely people , thought the food was great , as was the tea. Fantastic value for the money. If you have not tried this style of cooking, this is the best place to start. We were shown it by our adult offspring. What a find. Next time we are visiting, we will definitely return to try more of the wonderful small plates. It’s so convivial to share them .

My wife took me to Saffron by Paradise at the end of July, she had visited 2 days beforehand and knew I would love the food. The place itself is relatively small and intimate (approx 40 covers). On entry the staff are very friendly and welcoming and the place has a very chilled atmosphere with beautiful food smells. We ordered Sumac Prawns & Chicken Tond for starters and shared both. Both dishes were amazing however if I had to choose I would say the prawns won, the flavours are outstanding. For main I ordered the mixed Kebab, it comes with rice, onions , pickle and bread. Once again the food was at another level and the taste and flavours - wow. In my opinion the food is reasonably priced and this is a restaurant I will definitely return to and I have already recommended it to lots of family & friends.

A group of 6 of us walked into Saffron based on a recommendation by TripAdvisor, after our first choice had a 20-30 minute wait. All I can say is that I’ve literally eaten at hundreds of Lebanese, Syrian, Turkish and Iranian restaurants through the years, and this is one of the best. Every dish dazzled with fresh tastes, whether the dishes were meat or vegetables, appetizers or main courses. The service was excellent as well, helping us with recommendations as to their favorite dishes on the menu. We’ll definitely return on our next trip to Glasgow!

I’ve wanted to visit for a few years now and finally got a trip to Glasgow. The decor is lovely and comfortable. The waiter, Pedro was very friendly and chatty. I had the trio of dips which were all amazing and ate with hot Naan bread. Then I had the special kebab, which was a skewer of chicken and lamb. Both were really delicious and I can’t work out how they get the rice so light and fluffy. Was really full, but couldn’t resist the saffron and pistachio ice cream. Can’t wait to come back and try some more of the menu.

Visited last night for the first time. As soon as you enter the restaurant you are greeted with very friendly staff. The food was amazing and very reasonably price. When the foods was brought to the table there was also small sachets of spices and dips and also butter. The waiter advised us to add the butter to the saffron rice - absolutely beautiful. We will definitely be coming back.

This restaurant is very local to us but we'd never tried it before a friend recommended it. Very glad he did as we had a lovely meal, although we ordered a bit too much food because we had rather underestimated the size of the portions. We enjoyed lovely dips and the lamb kebab was perfectly tender. The sumac prawns were a particular treat. Service was friendly and helpful.

Ambiente excepcional, muy amable - el personal y los clientes. La comida era fantástica, de las más sabrosas que he probado. No podía creer que el arroz pudiera estar tan lleno de sabor. Tenía la parrilla mixta de pollo que creo que en realidad era para compartir porque era enorme. Creo que por error pedí una comida para dos, así que lee el menú cuidadosamente. Gracias por una experiencia deliciosa y agradable.
