Restaurant Safran in Kassel

The ambiance was fine, but of course, we were there primarily for the food. Unfortunately, the food was a disappointment. The rice was too blandly seasoned, but the worst were the grilled chicken skewers and the grilled vegetable skewers. The entire meal had blackened edges. The grilled tomato was particularly bad; it was truly jet-black and only with a little imagination could it be recognized as a tomato. Overall, the food had a bitter, burnt flavor. Overall, it wasn't at all what you'd expect from a healthy meal at a Persian restaurant; in fact, everything was burnt, and we really should have sent it back. Since we weren't asked after the meal whether we enjoyed it, they probably weren't interested in our opinion or constructive criticism. We assume that our food was prepared to the usual standard for this restaurant, as we were there at a time when it was very quiet, so there was no time pressure in the kitchen. Now, you might say that blackened food from the grill is "normal," but it's not if you do it right. For us: once and never again.

The food is delicious, the staff is very friendly and attentive. We tried kebab varieties and liked them. I can say that the prices are average.

Very nice atmosphere. Quiet atmosphere, very nice staff. We stumbled across the review and I have to say it was totally worth visiting Saffron, highly recommended, the tastes of the rice, the meat, the starter are simply wonderful and wonderful. Top. Gladly again.

Very good Persian restaurant, with a small outdoor area, a mix between a restaurant and an upscale snack bar in terms of appearance. Very nice, courteous service, great food, not exactly cheap but worth every cent! Always my pleasure

Fantastic traditional Persian cuisine and truly lovely service! We love coming, the food always tastes fantastic and there are vegan and vegetarian dishes, so there is something for everyone.

Tasty Iranian food. We tried baghali polo ba mahiche and shishlik both were great. The food was served on time and also friendly employee speaking English German and persian. I strongly recommend.

Fantastic flavors, super fresh food and very friendly service! 5 out of 5, gladly again.

Very tasty Persian dishes. Nice service, also knows about the food she sells

Incredibly delicious food, fresh and perfectly prepared. The chef is in a great mood and creates a fantastic atmosphere. Perfect for an enjoyable lunch break – highly recommended!

A small, cozy restaurant with delicious food and very friendly and attentive staff. We'd love to come back. Thank you for the lovely evening.

A wonderful evening, with absolutely delicious food and very friendly staff. I'd love to come back

Saffron is addictive recommended....

Very tasty dishes, the poultry and lamb to the point. Absolutely recommended, it's best to reserve a table in advance.

I am thrilled with the starters, and the main courses that are offered are 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼 It is definitely important to reserve here in advance!!! Great TEAM wonderful cuisine!

The worst service, they think all know that you have to do a reservation in order to seat. They need to think a little bit more before attacking the client.

The restaurant makes a very tidy and clean impression. The service was very, very friendly and the food was really tasty. We'd love to come back.

Dare, you won't be disappointed. Very friendly and accommodating. Parking nearby. Take the grill plate...

Never seen such a bad Iranian restaurant. Staff unfriendly, the dish not tasty and extremely expensive. I honestly don't recommend it to anyone. We paid €75 for 3p, if it had tasted good we would have said no matter, but... Without words Iranians know what I mean. But for German people who don't know Iranian cuisine and dishes and culture, I don't recommend here. HONESTLY NOT Not here.

Super delicious food, top service. Update was there with my wife two weeks ago. The food was good but it used to be better, more aromatic and more spicy. A small suggestion, the pickled garlic was really tasty but the portion was a bit too big, I don't think 3 bulbs is one. It's a shame if the rest is thrown away.

We went there spontaneously and ate Persian food for the first time.

Super nice service and very tasty food. Definitely something different for the European palate. Both vegetarians and meat eaters will find what they are looking for here.

Super nice service, the food leaves nothing to be desired... highly recommended!

Very tasty food and super friendly staff can only recommend

It was very nice, the food was so delicious. Definitely not the last time I've been here.

At least in the cities I visited, the Safran Restaurant in Kassel is unrivaled among Iranian restaurants. It impresses with excellent service, a welcoming atmosphere and outstanding quality.

Very good and authentic Persian food. The meat is very tasty and generously portioned. Absolutely recommended!

On the weekend you should reserve a table, especially if you want to eat with several people. Very nice and friendly welcome and a very good recommendation for the menu. All questions were answered nicely, friendly and with a smile. The food was very good. For starters we had Kashke Bademhan with a side dish of Babaghanoosh and Zeytun Parwardeh. With the “greetings from the kitchen” that was more than enough for us. For dessert there was saffron ice cream and faludeh. We were very skeptical about the latter. I know glass noodles from Asian cuisine, but not as a dessert and even less frozen. In short, the taste is amazing. An experience. Definitely even better and more refreshing in summer. Great restaurant, we will definitely come back. I still have to try the main courses.

I had the pleasure of dining at Safran Restaurant and absolutely loved it! The starter was excellent – ​​fresh, aromatic and prepared with great attention to detail. The main course was an absolute highlight: perfectly seasoned, wonderfully presented and a delight in terms of taste. Dessert rounded off the meal in a delicious way – a perfect balance of sweetness and sophistication. The service was excellent - attentive, friendly and professional. The staff was always present without being intrusive and made us feel comfortable. The ambience was stylish and cozy, just the right atmosphere for a relaxed evening. Overall, a fantastic culinary experience – I will definitely be back and can fully recommend the restaurant!

"The service was excellent - very friendly and attentive. The food was fantastic, especially the main courses were a highlight. The dessert was simply divine and rounded off the meal perfectly. I can highly recommend this restaurant!"

Great restaurant. Food was super tasty and was delivered quickly. There was a small greeting from the kitchen as a starter. The service was super friendly and attentive and answered every question and gave you advice. The meat was a dream and the salad we shared was beautifully prepared and also very tasty! Only recommended

Great food and always absolutely friendly and accommodating. Absolutely recommended!

Loved everything about the visit, the atmosphere, the lovely staff and the limo. The saffron misu is amazing. ❤️🥰

Very tasty food, nice ambience, super friendly owners - all around the perfect address for a delicious feel-good meal! Only recommended!!!

Great food, very tasty. Absolutely recommended. Very friendly service. Attentive, friendly. A wonderful Persian pearl in Kassel.

It was a high-quality and very special taste experience. Thank you!

Delicious! Very nice service! I can only recommend it

Great food. Very friendly and all of our wishes were taken into account. Really great and gladly again.

Eat: The food in the Safran restaurant was extremely tasty. Particularly noteworthy is the excellent quality of the meat. Service: The service was first class, with attentive and friendly staff making the visit a pleasant experience. Recommendation: I would recommend Restaurant Safran at any time and look forward to visiting it again. Note: A small point of criticism concerns the Kashke Bademjan, which I didn't find to be particularly authentic. Overall, however, an excellent choice for anyone who appreciates good Persian cuisine and excellent service.

One of the best ones, definitely try Barg!

Starter was cold and stale... Chelo was cold too

I was there in December last year, As a Persian that was Worst Persian food ive ever had, may be you are wondering how they've got that good average note, because they reporting negative reviews, that happened to me when ive written my experience about them in Google and google deleted it ( automatic review system)

Are very at peace, everything was very tasty.

Reserved from the highway and not disappointed. Excellent cuisine, completely different and authentically tasty with great and few spices. Great to reach directly opposite. Small competition hall, easy to park. Super nice service.

Had 3 meat skewers, beef fillet, minced lamb and chicken - I have rarely eaten such delicious, tender meat. The service is top, the employees friendly, courteous and down-to-earth. Great!

Very, very tasty food! The culinary concept makes an extremely well thought-out impression. If you weren't very familiar with the dishes yourself, you were given extremely friendly and competent advice from the friendly team. It was a very nice evening all around. :-)

Simply very tasty, a great meal that makes you realize it's a calling and not a job! We would love to come back to this great atmosphere, very accommodating people!

Very tasty and the spices are very special

Thank you guys for this lovely evening, you were very attentive and everything was delicious. Thank you and keep it up

Very friendly service, very tasty food, and there was even a vegan option, really great. We will definitely come back again.

Today we ate at the Safran restaurant on the recommendation of a friend who himself comes from the Persian region. And we weren't disappointed. Drinks, food, service, value for money: everything was great! What can we recommend: Order a few dips (e.g. Baba Ghanoush and the spicy homemade dip) and the salad first. Together with the greetings from the kitchen, you can conjure up some super tasty and fresh small snacks as a starter. The grilled meat and the vegetarian main course with eggplant and the accompanying Persian rice were also super tasty. Also try the Saffron Spritz, a great drink. We'll definitely be back!

Super tasty food, nice ambience, very nice and competent staff. We like to come here often ☺️ thank you for the taste explosion 🥳

Food 🔝 Service friendly and polite I'll be back 👌🏽💐

I was at the Safran restaurant for the first time today. The service was very friendly and accommodating, pleasant music in the background, cozy atmosphere. I am thrilled with the preparation of the food. Everything fresh and appetizingly prepared. Aromatic tea of ​​borage flowers with saffron candy, starter of creamy yogurt with cucumber pieces, various herbs and small flatbreads. Main course saffron rice with pomegranate seeds, pistachios with chicken thighs and an extra sauce. It was all very delicious. I would happily recommend the Safran Restaurant!!!

Very good food. We can only recommend the saffron plate for two!

All in all we were satisfied. The food is delicious, but I missed the wow effect. The prices are high standard.

The good reviews attracted us on the way from Nuremberg to the Baltic Sea. And it was just right to stop here for a delicious meal. We were given thin flatbreads, parsley and mint as well as lemons in advance to refine our dishes. I LOVE FRESH MINT! No refinement was necessary. I had butter-tender, well-seasoned beef fillet with delicious saffron rice, plus two equally tasty additional side dishes. Even though I was stuffed, I still treated myself to the pistachio tiramisu. A dream! Nice people in the restaurant. Both on the catering and guest side. I can only recommend the saffron.

We were well advised on our choice of food. Very nice staff, delicious food.

Simply perfect. You can't put it into words. Great food and great service

Very nice service and great authentic food. Gladly again!

Super great restaurant, I'm thrilled! Both the food and the service are very good. Also ideal for people with gluten intolerance, as almost all dishes are prepared without flour.

Sehr nette Bedienung, erklärt Speisen freundlich für nicht-persisch-Essen-Kenner. Sehr gutes Essen, zartes Fleisch. Kann ich empfehlen.

Wir waren mit 16 Personen im Safran. Leckere Vorspeisenplatte, Hauptspeise ganz fein und die Desserts köstlich. Frische Zutaten, Kräuter, tolle Gewürze… Der Service war freundlich, zugewandt & flexibel. Gerne immer wieder!

Everything was great, it was very tasty! Would love to come back.

I visited the Safran restaurant in Kassel and was completely impressed. I would particularly like to highlight the meat, which was very tender and incredibly tasty. A real surprise was the saffron lemonade - a refreshing and at the same time special drink that I have never tried before. The Persian borage tea was also new to me and completely impressed me with its taste. The main course, the saffron plate for two, was also a delight. The different flavors and the perfect preparation made this dish a highlight of the evening. Finally, I tried the dessert saffron misu, an original variation of the classic tiramisu with saffron. That was also something special and very tasty. All in all, I can highly recommend the Safran Restaurant - the combination of exceptional dishes and high-quality ingredients completely convinced me.

The meat skewers were all super tasty

The meat skewers are all super tasty.

I recently visited the Safran restaurant and am very satisfied. The restaurant is very nicely decorated and creates a pleasant atmosphere. The staff was friendly and attentive. We were served quickly and special requests were implemented without any problems. The quality of the food was excellent. The dishes were freshly prepared and tasted to the point. For the quality of the food and excellent service, I found the price absolutely reasonable. I will definitely come back again and again and can only recommend the restaurant.

We were at Safran for the first time on September 26th, 2024. The service was top notch. Very friendly and polite, as well as accommodating. The advice and recommendations for the dishes were also great. The ambience was beautifully designed (pictures, dimmed lights) and calm music was playing in the background. The meat skewers (chicken, beef and lamb) were very tender and juicy, the best I've eaten so far. The portion sizes were also very good. Overall, the saffron is highly recommended.

Very nice restaurant with friendly service! Very good food and good portions. Recommended 👍🏻

It was our first time there and I can say that I have nothing to complain about and we will definitely come back again. The meat was super tender and the service was first class, super friendly and also very helpful when ordering. The ambience is wonderful and nice and quiet. It's a bit smaller, but it's still very relaxing thanks to the dimmed lights and the great classical music.

Great food, nice atmosphere and you are served very politely and you definitely don't leave the house hungry

Very nice, cute restaurant, food is very tasty and service is also very good. Always feels very family-like.

The taste of the food is excellent along with a completely respectful behavior

Great food great ambience. Thank you for the nice evening. Always my pleasure.

Persisches Restaurant geführt von einer Familie an der Markthalle in Kassel. Aufmerksamer Service, frische Speisen mit leckeren Gewürzen. Stark: Vorspeisenplatte mit Brot - Minze, Petersilie, Knoblauch, Linsen, Auberginen..,, Hauptgerichte mit 20 Euro für einen Spieß mit Reis zu teuer, kein Bier vom Fass.

Bring your passports with you, I can recommend a trip through Persia to everyone 😉 We had a wonderful evening at Safran, with starters & side dishes, the grill plate for 2 and a dessert. Everything tasted great and we were warmly served. We'd love to come back!

One of my favorite restaurants in Kassel, especially the meat is of such good quality. We eat there regularly and have always been satisfied. The staff is so friendly and warm. It's nice that you exist.

Such delicious food, you immediately feel welcome and if you like Persian cuisine you have to come here. Authentic and super tasty. Keep coming back.

A good address for Persian food in Kassel. Service was very friendly and explained all the dishes in detail. Fresh ingredients, very tasty and freshly prepared. Quiet location opposite the Kassel market hall, definitely worth a culinary experience if you visit Kassel.
