Saffron Cafe - Warren Park

I went there with a big group of family and friends. We were excited to try the Moroccan food. I ordered couscous with vegetables and braised chicken. The food took sometime to make it to the table, and then the waiter started bringing it.The couscous and the vegetables were very flavorful and delicious, but the chicken was grilled not braised as described in the menu, and there were only 3 small cubes of grilled chicken on the plate!!! I was a little disappointed in this! My wife got the basil coconut pasta with shrimp, which also came with 3 shrimps and it was overly sweet!!!The decor is nice and authentic, but the food experience was not 100% authentic or impressive!Coming to the prices, I think they are overpriced (about $23 for some 3 cubes of grilled chicken and some couscous with vegetables) and we had a 20% gratuity added to our ticket!

We were paving a parking lot adjacent to this restaurant. I ordered chicken pita red potatoes for lunch. It was out of this world!! Excellent food service. Will definitely come here to eat again!!

I was very disappointed with our most recent visit (August 2022). We went with friends from out of town, and I was embarrassed to have recommended it. We hadn't been in a few years, and back then the food was delicious lots of complex spices and meat so tender it would fall apart with a fork. This time, the tajine had very little flavor. The chicken was a little tough, as though it had been baked and then plopped in the sauce. The server only ever came to our table if we flagged him down and requested him. Both bathrooms had wet and slightly smelly floors; the women's had standing water and the men's was wet and squishy and smelled vaguely of sewer. I hope they get back to their old standards, but as of right now I would not recommend.

Super cute restaurant and such a great experience! I would highly recommend to come here. The flavors of the food are incredible and make such a fun environment to get out of the norm of American food, if you are looking for something like that. It’s a small restaurant so seating is very limited and it’s hard to get in sometimes from what I hear, but if you can get in it’s definitely worth it. It’s on the pricier end of the spectrum for a restaurant as well, but again it’s worth it in my opinion.

This is an intentionally-designed restaurant with a Moroccan flair. Even the outside of the building is painted in Mediterranean colors. The kabobs were very good but the famine dishes were stupendous. The warm bread is tasty. The Zaalouk, an eggplant dip served with tiny pitas, was out of this world. The mussels in cream sauce were excellent although nearly have of them did not open with cooking. There was only the waitress and the cook so service was slow as molasses but we weren't in a rush anyway. Wine list is disappointing.
