- OTOpenTable DinerMinneapolis - St. Paul •2 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoAbsolutely excellent from start to finish — amazing staff, ambiance and food… even the table bread was astounding. I’ll be back!More infoKokkari EstiatorioPrice: Expensive• Mediterranean• Financial District / Embarcadero•4.8
- JJosephVIPSan Francisco Bay Area •4 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoAfghans are notoriously hard to please when it comes to eating at Afghan restaurants and I can say without hesitation that Saffron is exceptional. The menu, which includes some really creative spins on traditional Afghan dishes, still carries some of the best examples of traditional Afghan cuisine served up in great portions and with balanced flavors. Standouts were the aushak and mantu -- absolutely order both, not just what you consider your favorite -- and the Shola, which is about as close as you can get to quintessential home-cooked Afghan comfort food at a restaurant. The staff was wonderful, the owner and chef are both present and engaged in sharing their great creations, and it was so great to see such a diverse and rich mix of folks eating around us. Hands down one of the best Afghan restaurants I've been to in terms of balancing authenticity, creativity, and Afghan hospitality.More infoSAFFRON KITCHENPrice: Expensive• Afghan• Berkeley•4.8

- KKennethVIPSan Francisco Bay Area •10 reviews4.0Dined 5 days agoThere were 8 of us in our party. We were seated at along table in the back corner which kept us out of the humddrum of the rest of the restaurant. Overall though the room was quiet. The service was attentive and professional yet friendly. The food was good and the portions, generous. The gluten free/vegetarian options were minimal.More infoZINOPrice: Expensive• Mediterranean• Berkeley•4.3
