Reviews for Saffron in Madison, WI
Hello, I was just wondering where on campus you can find saffron, and if you take the uw madison meal plan? thanks!
First off, this place has potential. The food seems high quality, tasty, and healthy. It's sort of like Chipotle, but for... Mediterranean food. You order a bowl with a base (rice, salad, etc), a protein (falafel, chicken, gyro), and a couplesauces/sides. That said, there are a few major issues they need to address. 1. They have a ridiculous ordering process whereyou have to order on this touchscreen computer, and they only have one of them. What this leads to is that everyone waits in along line while the person at the front tries to figure out how to use the touch screen ordering device, and meanwhile thepeople that work there are just sitting around not taking orders or serving food and just waiting on this one person at thefront to finish putting in their order. It's weird and awkward. 2. The portion sizes are absurdly small. For $8, you get somerice, a few small pieces of meat, and a couple scoops of side measured out with a tiny scooper. You can tell they're measuringeverything and not being generous with the portions. I was still quite hungry after finishing. I was expecting more for $8. 3.They don't take cash. 4. Sort of to point #1, they're really slow. Don't come here if you're in a hurry. That said, I think ifthey can address some of these issues, this could become a great spot, especially for those who work in the Discovery building. Read more
