Azafrán - Cuenca El Arenal

We’ve been to Azafrán twice now and the food is delicious, authentic, and beautifully presented. Try the Azafrán mixed salad, a platter of humus, baba ghanouj, tabouleh, and green salad. Try the mixed grill platter, featuring four different shush kabobs: lamb, kefta, and two kinds of chicken. Also try the specialty, zorbian rice with lamb or chicken. Everything comes with their fresh pita bread. Great food at a very reasonable price. Give them a try, it’s great to have food like this here in Cuenca.

A new place a quiet atmosphere and a special flavor to enjoy with family or friends with a very good attention I recommend

A good atmosphere, small but cozy and excellent food

(Google translation) We order four Yemeni-Arab dishes: a mixed Arabic salad source consisting of humus, metabbal, baba ghanoush and tomato salad; meat livers and tame (parsley salad). The dishes were presented beautifully, which shows that chef Bakil's cuisine is not only incredible but also a form of art. At first, I was a bit skeptical about the beef livers, as it was a very difficult dish to cook properly, but at the time I tried it I couldn't stop. It was succulent and spicy and nothing hard. The salads were tasty, full of Arab spices and very fresh. My food was accompanied by a freshly squeezed purple juice and fresh Arabic bread. I cannot wait to return!

The salads were flavorful, full of Arabic spices and very fresh. My meal was accompanied by a freshly squeezed blackberry juice and fresh Arabic bread. Can't wait to go back!
