"Lovely Persian food must try place. Clean simple and quick. I loved the dough and the beef kebab. Not a huge menu but quality food cooked quickly with friendly staff. I will come again super awesome meat and a must try"
"Food was well presented , fresh and flavourful. The rice and kebabs were cooked perfectly. I also ordered the olives (Divine!) The baklava was okay. That being said it was definitely on the pricier end - which is why I could not give them 5 / Stars."
"⭐ Google Review for Saffron Persian Cuisine – Hong Kong ⭐ I had a wonderful dining experience at Saffron Persian Cuisine in Hong Kong. The food is authentic, flavorful, and beautifully presented. From the appetizers to the main courses, everything tasted fresh and delicious. The kebabs were tender and juicy, and the rice had that perfect Persian aroma and texture. The restaurant has a warm, elegant atmosphere with great hospitality. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. It truly felt like a taste of Persia in the heart of Hong Kong. If you’re looking for excellent Persian food with great service and a comfortable dining environment, Saffron Persian Cuisine is definitely worth visiting. Highly recommended!"
"Authentic and delicious Persian food, with flavourful kebabs and fragrant rice, reminds me of home of my origin background! Glad to see some authentic Iranian restaurants in Hong Kong with a range of delicious Persian food, would highly recommend!"
"Having been to many Persian restaurants around the world, Saffron stands out from many. The Kabab koobideh (grilled minced lamb) was one of the best I have had, it was succulent and delicious. The Saffron rice was perfectly cooked. We also tried the Gormeh Sabzi (herb stew) a classic Persian dish which was flavorful. The Bastani (Saffron ice cream) was excellent. Overall a great value for money considering all the Chinese restaurants that we had visited. I would have given 5 points, but alcoholic beverages were missing in the menu. Nothing is worse than a good restaurant failing to match the excellent food with an excellent glass of wine. The Filipino ladies running the restaurant are doing a great job. I will definitely return on my next visit to Hong Kong."
"THIS PLACE HAS THE BEST FOOD. We ordered one with chicken and rice, and one rice dish with lamb and chicken. The saffron rice has a very unique flavour, but it works so well with the rice. The meat was very juicy and tender. The lamb was some of the best lamb I have tried. The chicken felt very clean and healthy, and very delicious. Even though they didn’t provide much sauce with the food, the flavour of the meat and rice stood out and a lot of sauce was not required. I’d definitely go eat here again. Also, do try out the drinks as they have some traditional Persian beverages which blew me away. 5/5"
"I really liked the food here !! I personally loved the chicken koobideh with rice and vegetables plus the drinks tasted like perfume water (which is a very Persian thing as they add rose water to everything) but it was refreshing with the chia seeds! The saffron ice cream was super good!! It was creamy rich with pistachios and tasted really good! The only issue I had was that the portions are pretty small and extremely expensive so do be mindful of that!"
"In the hustle and bustle of Hong Kong’s streets, finding a Persian restaurant is truly a delight. For lunch, I had a Soltani kebab with Doogh and Shirazi salad. The taste was good—maybe not excellent, but still satisfying, especially considering how challenging it is to serve authentic Iranian food in Eastern countries. I’d rate it a 7 out of 10. The restaurant had a cozy and pleasant atmosphere, and the staff were very friendly and professional. If you’re craving Persian food, I definitely recommend checking it out."
