Reviews for Cafe Saffron in Norman, OK
I had heard this place had good food, but it was bland compared to other Persian/Mediterranean food I have eaten. It was also... very, very overpriced. Had the lamb shank & chicken skewers. They included a very generous portion of rice, but it looked likethey combined 3 kinds of rice, a plain basmati, something that looked like saffron rice but was flavorless, and rice mixed withwhat looked like dill. The only saving grace was the hummus & pita bread. It was good, but still way overpriced. Read more
A quaint little corner shop run by an iranian couple. Food was authentic and very flavorful. Quantity was alot for the price.... Avg price 10-15$ for rice and kabobs. Better suited for take out than sit down Read more
Delicious food made by sincere and friendly owners. The small dining area is rustic, yet quaint. Most would probably prefer to... order take out. I recommend the chicken kabob and the dolma. Read more
Don't be put off by the guy who works here, just dont get him twisted he doesn't have time for your bs and doesn't care how... bummed you are he doesn't have falafel. Why? Because everything else is fire. Perfect rice, veggie kabob perfectly grilled,hummus absolutely on point and the chicken shwarma was to die for. Don't sleep on this place and homeboy inside is a nationaltreasure. Read more
Had a great meal at Cafe Saffron. The food is fresh, hot and delicous! This is a must have on your list of Go To Places. There... is limited seating so you may want to order to go. Noticed several students doing that. Read more
Kabobs and saffron rice. You won't be disappointed. Update*** I eat here now and then. I do love this place. But, I always spend... way too much and order too much. I will learn to order just the shawarma sandwich because it is my favorite and big enough for ameal. ???? Good food large portions!! Read more
