Safran in Leeds

Food very nice the staff is very nice love this place…..

The food is great and the service is excellent, just the food is expensive

I was there yesterday and the kebab was absolutely amazing I recommend everyone to visit there and taste there delicious food.

The best food i haver ever eaten in my life. The best iranian restaurant in the leeds . The kebab was delicious and yummy and tasty . The ambience is very delightful ans staff was very kind and happy . I recommend this restaurant to everyone .

The food was excellent and tasty. We had mixed grilled and the food was juicy and delicious. I recommend this restaurant to everyone who lives in Leeds. Please don't miss out saffron restaurant in the city centre of Leeds.

Really lovely food and service.

Food was good but waiter was very rude when I ask him to take a photo of me and my friend I never felt this tolerated in any restaurant and it gave me bad experience and bad thoughts

A group of 10 of us have just had a meal here, and we all really enjoyed our visit. The food was outstanding, and the service was polite and friendly (from Mohammed, and the young lady whose name I forgot to ask), both are a credit to your restaurant. Totally recommend.

Food ok for the price, service to be improoved

Went there with a friend. Food was great! Been again more recently, service has gone downhill massively.

The customer service at this restaurant is unprofessional, and the overall cleanliness leaves much to be desired. From dirty toilets and chairs to an untidy atmosphere, my experience here was disappointing. I would not recommend dining at this establishment.

Everything down to the smallet minute detail was perfect

Outstanding grilled meats, for good price in centre of town.

Best Iranian restaurant tested so far. Excellent value. Generous portions but above all tasty. Ice cream imported from Iran.

There is a need for the tidiness of the restaurant to be kept up to standard.

We ate here last night for the first time, the food was brilliant, service good, very good value for money, portions generous, and a nice family feel to the place. Really enjoyed it, we will defo eat here again.

What a gem of a place. I’ve been here 3 or 4 times now and it never fails to impress me. The food is amazing (Persian isn’t spicy if that’s what might put some people off). My other half says it’s the best ice cream he has ever eaten in his life! The last time I went, we shared a platter for 2 and had a full meal to take home with us for the next day. The staff have been lovely each time I’ve been, the food is very reasonably priced, and the atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming. We love it, I love the fact it’s still got the same charm as it had the first time I went a few years ago, and I’d recommend it to anyone.

Amazing Persian food. Fresh and with a home made feel. Great service and prices. Highly recommended!!

We visited this restaurant in 2022, and unfortunately my family and I suffered from gastrointestinal illness, and I think it was food poisoning. We had an unforgettable experience.

The food is delicious especially the glugbab

Great food and authentic, but atmosphere needs improving.

Had the mixed grill for two with my partner. Delicious grilled meats, lamb kebab was a little tough, and the chops are well grilled. Rice was buttery and delicious and bread tasty. Fast service.

A nice little gem tucked away in one of the main street corners. Nice relaxing atmosphere with friendly service. The food was very tasty with the mix grill for 2 being amazing. The chicken and lamb kebabs were cooked to perfection. The portions are very generous too.

On the whole, tasty food but the service and bathroom facilities were terrible

Service is rubbish and that employee treated me rude because he didn’t hear me asking for a drink

Came here on a very busy day in town centre with places packed out so looked up nearby places to eat. Chose Persian cuisine. 7 minute walk from town centre. Nearly missed it as slightly hidden. Walked in had a few tables dining already. Young girl took order was pleasant and seemed to be hardworking. Couldn’t understand the staff that sat in a scruffy table with reserved on. An older lady who does not know how to smile and young fed up female-Who really didn’t seem to be want to be there. The food was tasty so can not fault the food. It’s just the atmosphere, the staff. It’s like a no frills place but if you’re going to be that you need to not over charge. Main course cost £18.95 and £19.95. The decor is depressing. The toilet was so disgusting and for this I would never return. Toilet seat is wrong size like a child’s seat. The floor was soaking wet. Had to dry my shoes on the hand dryer on way out by lifting leg up. Was so gross.

I had a great time in there. The food, service, ambience and music, everything was perfect.

Food and service were excellent. Chicken wings were just so delicious 🤤. We had a mixed grill and everything tasted so good on that platter.

Good quality and delicious Persian food 100% you will love it

The food was amazing I enjoyed it a lot the staff were really kind and got all of my orders correct plus the atmosphere is really nice and clean they for sure deserve 5 stars!

Great place for Persian food. I've been a number of times and exjoyed is.

Absolutely love this place! Their kebab mixed platter for 2 is amazing and one of our faves! We've been coming here for several years now and each time the place doesn't disappoint. Service is excellent and food always on point. Highly recommended 👌

Absolutely awful.take away large order , no chicken on one order .all salad was old looked like it had been made at dinner,picked order up at six ,aubergine starter mashed to a pulp with white topping , £7 looked a slop of a mess .rang to complain,no one wants to know

Very nice grill and nice service

Amazing authentic Iranian food, lovely staff and 10/10customer service. Will definitely come back and recommend.

Quality-wise: Average food (not good and not too bad). Not so cozy and not the cleanest!

THE FOOD IS SUUPPPEERRR DELICIOUS الاكل وايد لذيذ 👍🏻

Overall the food was great ... Charcoaled seabass is definitely recommended The fish was Very juicy and tender ... *********************************** I prefer charcoal fish to be more crispy than juicy, oily and steamed. Grilled tomatoes do not go well with fish ... Instead, it is better to use grilled vegetables as a side dish or olives and walnuts (zeitoon parvardeh) *********************************** It was very crowded because of the Persian New Year and the number of waiters was not enough ... The air inside the restaurant was full of grilling smoke, which was a bit annoying ..‌. ************************************** The staff were very polite and kind, even with this amount of hustle and bustle, even at the end the owner came to the table in person to make sure everything was done well. We enjoyed our food.

Honestly, some of the best lamb I've had. Staff lovely. The atmosphere isn't bad, but I did come pretty early - 4:30/5. Very relaxed. Can recommend!

The toilet was in a bad condition and there was no toilet paper. One of the staffs was so aggressive.

A comfortable restaurant. Friendly and polite staff. Tasty food. Must try lamb chops.

مطعم سيء والخدمة سيئة ولايوجد ترحيب لاتوجد خدمة للاسف 👎🏻

Excellent food and so delicious.. Khosh maza 👌😋

Great food, wonderful people. But needs to be a bit more clean. However, overall delicious food

Love it , only place I know with charcoal grill

Best and fresh hummus naan ever I had !

One of the greatest Persian restaurant I've ever had! The service was so great, extremely friendly staff. I definitely recommend trying Safran Mixed grill, Persian tea and baklava. Everything tasted fresh! Will definitely come again!

مطعم جيد و كمية الطعام جيدة و كافية طلبنا كان عبارة عن مقبلات و مشاوي بالاضافة الى رز و خبز ، المشاوي كانت لذيذة لكن بالنسبة للمقبلات كانت عادية جدا الطاقم كان محترم و جيد ، بالنسبة للجلسة في المطعم كانت نوعا ما ليست مريحة لان المطعم يقع تقريبا تحت سكة القطار

Really good food and decent portions. The minced lamb was delicious and everything else was great.

Avoid this dodgy place. Zero professionalism from the staff, spoiled beer and warm wine, half of the order did not arrive at all, and some of the staff members drinking wine in front of the visitors. The food was alright though.

This a no frills, no nonsense type of a place serving traditional Persian food, but a particular emphasis on their chargrilled meats. As such, the smell is wonderful one you enter. I had the vine leaves to start, full of flavour and extremely moist. A mixed kebab for main, which was delicious, marinated chicken, cooked and spiced to perfection, alongside minced lamb which was just as good. A generous portion of rice and salad proved the perfect accompaniment. All of this for less than £25 in a city is what I call value for money.

Probably the best Persian foods restaurant in town.👍👍👍I will definitely come back for more 😋⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Very nice food. Tasty and good portion sizes. Service could have been a tiny bit friendlier. Would be nice to have Salad Olivia and Fesenjaan on the menu.

Incredible, hummus to die for, and the juiciest meat. Honestly, hats off to the chefs

Good place. Nice Persian kebabs

Very tasty food, especially the meat which the restaurant specialises in. The breads were huge and freshly cooked. Baklava very tasty. Limited wine choices but what we had was nice!

Perfect , tasty but expensive No parking , you can any where in the city center and walk

Good place for a quick meal before or after your shopping, amazing staff, and delicious fresh food as always.

Food was very nice, and portions were a good size, but attention to detail was a little lacking. For example, I’m sure that having the fire escape locked with a padlock during opening hours is a serious breach of fire regulations!!

Had two of the sharing platters, the starter one and the mixed grill for 2. Food was STUNNING! Portion sizes are more than generous and would have easily served 4/5 people. Will be definitely coming back! Staff was lovely and when asked we were given takeaway boxes to take home all the leftovers we got! ☺️🙌🏼

the best Iranian restaurant in leeds and thanks Hamed very friendly staff.

No customer service at all. They charge a lot but they service more like you go to a take away shop. Every time I had to go to reception asking for bread( which they forgot to bring) sauce, etc. the price is a lot compared to what the service is like. The chef was shouting loud as well that we dont have Naan eventhough the waiter accepted our order with Naan. My wife wasn’t happy as well. Wont go again. Wont recommend as well.

Absolutely wonderful food & friendly service.

Very bad Quality food it’s rubbish don’t lose money 🤮 costomer service 0

Probably the best minced lamb I have ever had - and I have traveled extensively. The 2-person grill was excellent; large portions and every morsel tasty. Jasmine rice was also very nice. Staff was friendly. Will definitely stop again while in Leeds.

Got seated near the bar even thpugh place was pretty empty, was put of by the alcohol stench and left.

filming in Leeds since Nov ..been here every other night - I kid you not :))) they must be sick of the sight of me! But the food is stunning, fresh, crisp tender and tasty. Above all very healthy - Such a find!!!! little charcoal Gem

I have had lovely meals here. The meat is wonderful, very tender and tasty.1 star less because the naans become dry and hard very quickly.

We really enjoyed our food here, we had chicken skewers, the portions were generous and flavoursome.

Decent place. Food was average.

The worst experience I have ever had in a restaurant. The food was okey but the guy who said “I am the owner” gives you a feeling like you are in his house and he is giving you the food for free.

You must try Safran. They are delicious and very friendly staff

Cuisine excellente serveur sympa service rapide

Needed a meal and stopped here by chance. We are vegetarian and food was good, and we with lovely fresh bread and light fluffy rice. Good value for city centre Leeds

Lovely restaurant, the food was served promptly and was delicious. I had a chicken dish and the chicken was such good quality, very impressed. Nice interior too, friendly staff. Will be going again :)

Very expensive In comparison to what I ordered, the food was not to what I expected. The only good thing was little fresh salad. Overall disappointed after how much cost me.

A hidden gem in Leeds city centre. Generous portions, tasty food and very comfy. I love this place!

We came yesterday were 5 people, The food at (RN) is exceptional! Very tasty and well prepared and you can chose among many menu options. I love the service at the place and the waiter was super friendly with the guests and always takes care to offer the best quality! I highly recommend this place.

I went yesterday to eat with my girlfriend It was busy ,the food it was amazing and service it was very very good one waiter was very friendly and handle all the busy and everything it was in time definitely come back for good service I send few pictures to friends and family to come to try the best service and nice food with friendly waiter always smile in face with great combination

Contacted them to do a delivery and was presented with a rude staff member who said no delivery, I then asked if there’s justeat and he just hung up on me. 0 customer service

The food and service were amazing

Worth it, I definitely recommend visiting it atleats once...

The food was great and highly recommended, the meat was well grilled and the chicken was succulent. Advice to anyone who want to visit there to book in advance. The staff were also very helpful

One of the best Iranian restaurant in Leeds

I had my birthday celebration here on 12th November 22. I invited 24 guests and they were all happy about the food etc. We had the whole backroom to ourselves which was lovely. The overall experience great. The food was exceptional.

Perfect just what we needed on a hungry night, amazing food Staff and service was perfect

This is the best kebab restaurant in my opinion the food was perfectly cooked and delicious, fast service and efficient would definitely go again!

Fresh food cooked to perfection and lovely service - Highly Recommended

Great food for the price ain't bad at all. Service the best. Very hospital staff. Will come again when we come to Leeds city center. Can't fault this place. Must try for everyone.

Delicious food and lovely staff. Will definitely be back 😊

Brilliant food and service will definitely be coming back again

My first visit. Very impressed by the quality of the food and the service

Fantastic food and service, the lamb was sensational and the waiter was incredibly professional and friendly. I will most definitely be eating here again.

Absolutely delightful. Totally unique and authentic. The food is delicious and I have never been anywhere like this.

It's best not to go into details.

It’s been years that I’m going to this restaurant and always obsessed with every single bite of my meal , the portions, quality, service just wow , staff very friendly and helpful. The food is unbelievably delicious i highly recommend

Delicious and authentic Persian food! Cooked to perfection and huge portions! It was brilliant! Absolutely amazing meal!

Good service. Very satisfying, good quality food, well prepared. A perfect meal.

The best lamb chops on earth and best kebabs ever deffo going back here amazing

Went here with t'usband for date night. Decided to be brave & try something different, so glad we did. Nice chilled out atmosphere, as they say themselves, unpretentious. The food was really (really) good, with very generous portions and good value. We didn't finish it all. Staff were lovely too. Would definitely recommend.
