Saffron's Restaurant

This was the best meal I had in Louisville. The flavors really popped for me. Loved the cucumber 😍 relish that came with the meal. The beef kabobs were so savory and delicious. The owner was in and was kind enough to stop and chat with us. He had an amazing story ❤️ which made the dining experience even better than l expected. It was really close to the convention center, I would definitely recommend going for a great lunch if you are anywhere near the restaurant.

Came to have family dinner and try something new while in Ky, and we made a great choice. The food was amazing and the service was excellent. The other part was pictures you see online might not be on the menu, but always ask. The rack of lamb was really good. This restaurant reminded me of of Rafis in Glendale California. Definitely will be back.

Nice quiet restaurant with fantastically made food. Clean dining area and more importantly clean kitchen. We had never had Persian food before, but it seemed a lot like Mediterranean cuisine. I wasn’t super hungry and got the quail appetizer that was superb, and my husband ordered the beef stew which he loved. Allen was an extremely friendly waiter who told us stories about the paintings and provided excellent service. Please check it out

I am ashamed I never reviewed this gift to downtown Louisville before. Saffron's has an unassuming exterior and you've probably passed it lots of times without knowing it but read this review and immediately proceed there if you're looking for great food and are searching downtown. The interior is extremely welcoming, the mood is relaxed, and the service is impeccable. You may have a small wait for the food, enjoy yourself with company, sipping wine, Persian coffee, a cocktail, or just water, while enjoying the complimentary vegetables and pita bread, until your food arrives. It is completely worth any insignificant wait. The food is simply amazing- it has to be experienced, words cannot do it justice. Be sure to compliment the chef, he is a humble and kind man who does amazing work and deserves every compliment.

Had a very nice Mother’s Day lunch here this afternoon. The staff was quite pleasant and the drinks were quite good, recommend the Bloody Mary and Turkish Coffee (even the Carrot Juice was tasty). Enjoyed a selection of kabobs, vegetarian stews and lamb chops. The lamb was cooked very well and the pomegranate/walnut stew was incredibly tasty but missed something in the way finishing off the flavor. Baklava was very tasty and I would recommend the ice cream which was infused with saffron, rose and pistachio for a way to complete your meal. Was quite hungry when the food came so I forgot to snap a few pics but the others in here are very true to the quality of the meal. Enjoy this place a lot and hope to be back soon!
