Saffron 685

Good Turkish restaurant with very authentic ambiance and good food. The Chicken Kabab plate and Shawarma are delicious. The Red Pepper Dip is interesting and worth trying. The Falafels are good and served with Tahini. The main highlight is the Turkish Delight which is out of the world. I would come back again to the restaurant.

The marinated lamb kebab plate was delicious and I particularly enjoyed the roasted peppers on the skewer. We ordered several desserts and enjoyed them all. Really interesting flavors and aromas with the meal and desserts.

Loved my meal today and every time I come here. Renee, the manager, takes great and gentle care of customers. Recommend to anyone who appreciates the experience of Mediterranean cuisine. 👍🙏🏽❤️

Loved our meal of wraps and apps. Ordering is a breeze and I’m so glad we finally tried this place around the corner from us.

Absolutely delicious food, great service, great decor, and fantastic ambience. I would love to come here again! The prices are very reasonable for San Francisco and there’s cool places to sit on the floor in the back area near the bathrooms.

Unassuming decor and the cuisine is absolutely delicious! We had the grilled lamb kebab--so savory and juicy. It came with a side of spicy carrot dip and hummus. (The pretty yellow saffron rice was a bit under done but had colorful green peas and orange carrots.) We also had the Fatoosh Salad with French feta cheese. A hot mint tea was a lovely touch. Lots of other entree options. Chef Rene has a fun, wonderful manner. He would sing to some of the music. Very eclectic and good music--40s, 70s, and 80s. And blues!There are several areas with low couches for congregating for drinks.

Ordered the salmon platter. It was delicious. Loved the kind service here! Freshly squeezed mint lemonade was great too. Nice spot to stop and grab a quick and wholesome lunch/dinner.

Got both lamb shawarma and lamb kebab plates; the shawarma was good, but the kebab was actually excellent. Great value, lots of variety and kebabs worthy of dream

Excellent chicken and lamb kabobs and salad. The rice at first wasn’t what I was used to but it grew on me and I ended up liking it very much. Same with the hummus. Their kunafah dessert was quite good as well. At first I was very turned off though by the dismissive and impatient vibe coming from the waiter, but he seemed to get better at the end. I’m hoping he was just having a bad day and look forward to trying this restaurant again.

Amazing food! Excellent service. I live it because it’s a healthy delicious option. Very homey and the owner will always accommodate to your preferences. Recommended 100%

Really liked the Turkish coffee Food portion size was excellent, chicken was moist and glistening. OMG did I like the onions and capsicum on that skewer. Amazing! Will definitely go here again.

This spot is my preferred one. I eat in many restaurants but to this place I keep coming back again and again. The team is very attentive and the cooking they serve is so delicious. I am always happy to have a good meal in this place. I recommend this place with pleasure.

This spot is my favorite. I go to plenty of restaurants but here I keep coming back again and again. The team is very cordial and the cooking they offer is so good. I never decline to have a nice meal here. I recommend this place with pleasure.

It's a great restaurant for Mediterranean food and the only one in its neighbourhood. The place is clean and has a nice ambience. The Chicken kebab plate was huge and well decorated. If you look at the price it's a great value for money. It came with two skewers of chicken, veggies, hummus and rice which were awesome. But the chicken didn't live up to my expectation and some of the pieces were undercooked which is the reason I'm giving three instead of four/five stars. The Fire Spicy green pepper dip was not spicy at all and lacked a punch. I'm hoping it was just a bad day and the food would be better next time. I would definitely recommend you to try the place and I'd up my rating if my experience is better next time!

I adore this spot! They provide decent meals, they have a nice menu, The cook in that restaurant is a professional, I enjoy a lot eating all their food. The food is consistently fresh and tasty, the service towards the visitors is good. I go often to this restaurant and I was never unsatisfied. I recommend it with no hesitation.

If you look for authentic , home made Turkish food , you will love the place.We tried pretty much the entire menu, with our 3 kids and loved everything. Service is super nice, helpful. And although the place as such does not look fancy , the experience is truly enjoyable.
