The host and server were very outgoing and helpful when we asked for suggestions. We had a sampler dish and then kabobs that we're both amazing!! We asked for the chef to come out as my wife wanted to tell her thank you and then a photo. If we were local we would certainly visit again. Was a little slow when we visited, no music or anything so atmosphere wasn't overwhelming. But understand sometimes nothing is better that what might offend some. Overall great 1st time experience!!

This place certainly has the tastiest Dolma Ive ever had, and the staff is exceptionally kind and attentive! I'd recommend to anyone in the area for a nice meal!!

Stopped by randomly and would definitely return. So many beautiful treats and pastries. We got the key lime torte... Absolutely incredible. Also, very good pricing. Plenty of seating and a restaurant inside. All of the ladies running the counters were very helpful and friendly. What a great stop!

Bustling evening before a Christmas show in the auditorium next door. We didn't have reservations but the hostess asked permission to seat us at the end of a large family table. We were all happy and appreciated it. Server did a great job with the happy chaos.

What a gem! We walked in for a snack since it was close to where we were staying. I was blown away by all the desserts! I literally could have visited every day while I was in town! We had sandwiches, a carrot cake and an amazing chocolate cake. I wish they could ship to my home!

Very very very very good desserts! Went here with my fiance, I couldn't help myself and ordered 2 pastries with a hot Americano. Fantastic coffee and ever better when paired with a sweet treat. Staff were attentive and kind. 11/10 would recommend.

Everything about the food was great. As an Iranian who makes kebabs at home, it’s not easy for me to praise restaurant kebabs — but this one was impressive! The portion size was right, and the texture and flavor of the meat were just spot on. The only downside was the lack of sumac, which I think is a pretty important part of the experience. After a long time, I had Doogh (yogurt drink) again — it was good, but not amazing. The atmosphere was very interesting, and you can also buy Iranian groceries from their store. Overall, it was a delicious and satisfying experience. I just wish they had sumac too!

Nestled in the charming streets of Charleston, South Carolina, Saffron Restaurant offers a delightful culinary experience that truly stands out in the vibrant food scene of the city. From the moment you step inside, the warm and inviting ambiance welcomes you, setting the stage for a memorable meal. Our server, Adrianne, exemplified what great service should be. Her pleasant demeanor and genuine kindness made us feel right at home. She was attentive without being intrusive, expertly guiding us through the menu and ensuring we had everything we needed throughout our visit. Now, let’s talk about the food—an absolute highlight of the evening. I ordered the chicken sandwich, which was nothing short of immaculate. The chicken was perfectly cooked, juicy, and flavorful, nestled between freshly baked bread that had just the right amount of crunch. Accompanying it was a side salad that was surprisingly generous, making it feel like I had two meals in one. Each bite was a delightful blend of freshness and flavor, leaving me thoroughly satisfied. Stephen opted for the turkey club with fries, and he was equally impressed. The turkey was thickly sliced and accompanied by crisp bacon and fresh toppings, all piled high in a way that made each bite a delicious challenge. The fries were crispy and perfectly seasoned, providing the ideal complement to his sandwich. The ambiance of Saffron adds an extra layer to the dining experience. The decor strikes a balance between cozy and chic, with warm lighting and tasteful decor that fosters a relaxed yet refined atmosphere. It’s the kind of place where you can easily spend hours enjoying good food and conversation. Lastly, we couldn’t resist taking a look at the pastry selection, which was nothing short of incredible. The display was enticing, featuring an array of decadent treats that tempted us to save room for dessert. Although we were too full to indulge that evening, it’s clear that the pastry offerings are a must-try for future visits. Overall, Saffron Restaurant exceeded our expectations in every aspect. From the delightful service provided by Adrianne to the impeccable food and charming ambiance, it’s a place I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Charleston. Whether you’re looking for a casual meal or a special occasion, Saffron is sure to impress. We can't wait to return and explore more of their menu—especially those tempting pastries!
