Clean and tidy
Not many Persian restaurant in perth

Highly recommend
2nd time here. Nice family run restaurant tucked away in a shopping strip. Food dishes were nicely presented and friendly service. Prices were reasonable. The kebabs were good but the shanks fatty. I ordered the traditional gorme sabsi lamb dish but there was hardly any meat in it and it tasted burnt. The bread and yoghurt sides were very nice
Excellent food and warm hospitality.
We had a great night and enjoyed the food which was well prepared and beautifully presented, with great service. The prices were great for the quality of food, will certainly be going back .A+++++
I'd never experienced persian cuisine before, but we were pleasantly surprised. Ordered a series of dishes on recommendation from waiter. Some grilled meats/curry types. Highlight was the lamb shank for me. Loved the rice too that went with it. The sour berry/pomegranate juice were interesting ones too.
Price wise, unless you are die hard fan of that type cuisine, their friday buffet might be better value imho.
Delicious food and what a amazing service! Had our 1 year old with us and they entertained him and thought about the little touches. The prices are very good and fair for the beautiful genourous portions. If you never tried persian, this place is a must!! 3rd time here and they are always consistent!
This place is the real deal! Delicious Persian food- very authentic. Highly recommend! Try the lamb baghali polo, gormeh sabzi and the kebab platter.
Beautifully decorated restaurant. professional, friendly staff and well presented food. I personally wasn't a fan of the tastes of Persian food although everything was cooked well and all my friends loved their meals. So overall, a really nice restaurant and worth the try.
My husband and I used a Groupon voucher last night for dinner. Although the restaurant had only a family and another couple the atmosphere was pleasant with background Persian music. The voucher was for a set menu. Shared Mat-o-Khiyar (yoghurt and cucumber dip) and lovely warm bread. The second dish was a platter of boneless chicken breast, steak fillet and minced lam kebab - my husband who normally prefers very well cooked meat was pleasantly surprised and sent compliments to the chef for the beautiful tender and flavoured meats. This was served with a plate of rice each and a lovely fresh salad to share. I must admit too much food for a couple, but you are missing a lovely meal if you do not try the Saffron Persian.
My boyfriend and I were craving Middle Eastern food and found this gem around the corner from us. You wouldn't know from the location but it's delicious! It was a Saturday night and we got the last table. The place with buzzing with such a good atmosphere. Suddenly the waitress lit all the candles and a belly dancer came out to entertain us all. She was fantastic and everyone was laughing and dancing.
The staff were beyond friendly and the meal was reasonably priced with great portions. BYO as well. I will definitely be making another visit
Great authentic Iranian cuisine with lots of flavour. Had Mixed platter of kebabs on skewer. Chicken, beef and Lamb with saffron rice. Very delicious and quality of meet was superb. Very lean no fat. Will strongly recommend this place!
Loved it. The food, service, ambient and cleanness all great. Had a great day
Iranian Gem. Great atmosphere, large portions and lively entertainment. Interesting to see elements of East meets West Persian culture and the current music scene, as displayed by a large monitor at the stores back. Prepare for loud disco music and gallivanting belly dancers on Fridays. I strongly recommend the twin platter for a full appreciation of the kebabs on offer.
Amazing place, amazing food and great staff. The food is amazing, the staff are very nice and friendly. Can't wait to go again. Love it.
We decided on this restaurant as part of our exploration of Perth's growing range of international cuisine. Reading so e of the previous reviews can set ones opinions but generally we take these with a grain of salt - and just as well. Saffron Fine Persian Cuisine was a fantastic discovery, delicious food and the service was reserved but exceedingly pleasant and responsive.
To find such a palace of deliciousness in the suburbs is a true treat.
We very much enjoyed our meal and the tea and sweets to finish off at the end was perfect.
Highly recommend.
Mrs Carmen. We went there tonight with 12 people.
I can only say, that the food and service was very good. A pleasant clean place, with friendly waiters.
The lamb shank was to die for. All in all a good experience. We will be back!
Delectable. Lovely food, very good prices, friendly service, must try the roast eggplant dip, and the various kebabbed meats and grilled vegetables, all excellent! strongly recommend!
Great food !! Must try!!! We have tried this place couple times .. No disappointed
Novelty Persian restaurant - Great Food. We decided to check out Saffron Fine Persian tonight in spite of the recent bad reviews. It looks like a family owned restaurant, possibly could do with a hired help on a Friday. But the food was delicious. The grills were perfect, the roasted eggplant was fantastic and we had never tasted olives the way they had been prepared before. The mains could do with the choice of a mixed vegetable platter and maybe something with a bit of gravy, the grills can be a bit dry with the rice. The saffron and pistachio ice cream was a generous serve and very tasty. Even the saffron tea was refreshing. Will visit again.
Wonderful Persian food. The dizzi is fabulous...authentic. Will be returning on a regular basis. Service is good with helpful, smiling family members in attendance. Great find.
Great flavors basic but friendly service & atmosphere
Local. Last minute booking on a Wednesday night. The restaurant was quiet but it was quite early (?7pm). I found the service to be prompt and polite. The food was delicious. We had the eggplant dip with naan to start and loved it! We had the share plate for two as the main. The lamb was my favourite and the steak was my partners favourite. The chicken could have used a yoghurt sauce or something to liven it up. Very filling. Decor was understated and the restaurant clean and welcoming. BYO only, I believe. Will definitely be back!
The BEST restaurant. We went there on saturday night there were lots of customers .The food was amazing and very tasty and we had a great night also the service was very good and friendly
Not bad for the taste buds. I like the fit out, service was pleasurable and the kebabs tasting better than fast food joints. A bit pricey for me but cant expect an 8 dollar kebab from here its more of a dine in style place.
Must Try!!. I loved this food! Had resturant to ourselves at 5.30pm! Loved fitted out resturant with excellent service!!! had dips and marinated olives for entree-huge serves that we couldnt finish! and this was between the two of us! Our mains were also huge-hubby had the mixed kebabs-they were divine! So fresh, spicy and tender! Cant remember name of my dish but it was a spicy marinated chicken dish werved with rice with some sort of dried berry thru it. Also served with salsa/raita! YummmY!
Will def be back!! Excellent prices too! Just shame I was too full to try desserts! Looks a great place for a function or large group!
Took me to the Middle East!. Tried Saffron Fine Persian tonight. The food was great - we ordered takeaway but will go back to try the dine in experience. Flavours were so different and therefore refreshing and nice to find something different as a local. Reasonably priced and the staff were very helpful over the phone. Apparently it's under new management but the previous chef has bought it out so reviews should continue to be good.
Awesome food.Friendly staff and a belly dancer while you r enjoyin ur dinner:).will definitely come back to this place.
Pretty authentic. Friendly staff. Not over the top. Will be back for more.
Tasty meals but slow service. This is my return trip to saffron. The food was just as good but the meals took alot of time to come out once again. I think they have not enough staff on as it is a very family business. another thing is that the zereshk polo rice accompaniment had almonds the first time and now it didnt have it anymore. Other than that its still good value for money and the food is tasty
Nice experience. It's definitively a good place to have a persian food experience. Even if the service is not that good and even if I was disapointed by the barg (lamb skewer). But my favorite persian dish Gormeh Sabsi was perfect and I recommend anyone to try this stew. Real persian style fantastic rice: light and fluffy, I can eat a pound of this rice (actually they should make a bigger serve).
But better keep some room for the surprising and delicious desserts. i don't remember the names but we tried three of them, all differents and very fine cuisine!
First time here, and I certainly won't be the last. We had the saffron platter for 2 and it wad quite frankly divine. I give this place 4 thumbs up NOMNOMNOM

First impressions ,a bit dead when we arrived for our 7 pm booking ,but guess that's a bit early for a sat night .soon filled up , very cheerful and helpful guys at the counter. Decor a lil bit of a let down but not awful ,you can see they are trying. A big piece of unleavened bread along with a small cheese plate of mint and one small cube of fetta - all complementary , but unfortunately weren't informed how to go about eating it but muddled through regardless. Helpful wait staff , food arrived promptly. Looked fantastic, our waitress mixed up an order but it turned out all right. Some of the best Persian food we have tasted in Perth. Except for the chicken it was a but too dry They even have a beautiful belly dancer , only thing was she insisted people dance with her which made me a little uncomfortable as was just looking for a peaceful dinner. Therefore finished dinner and skipped dessert earlier than intended but I'm sure most other patrons enjoyed it. All in all a surprisingly good night out. Will be returning for the kobbideh mince kebab ,beautiful!

Fantastic food and great community atmosphere. Being the daughter of an accomplished Persian mother cook, I was sure I was in for a disappointment when I visited Saffron. After all, no one makes food as well as mum does, do they?
I'm pleased to say that the food stacked up very well compared to my mother's, and we really enjoyed our meal. Francis, the owner, is a lovely man who really cares about the enjoyment his customers take from their meal. The service is still patchy, but it's not rude or indifferent, which for Perth is something of an achievement.
The decor and atmosphere is fairly unique, and the location itself probably isn't ideal by the Saffron team have done what they can to make it their own. The atmosphere and noise probably isn't helped by the high, unrecessed ceilings, but there's not much that can be done about that. It's also a little bit too brightly lit for my tastes, but the giant chandelier looks nice regardless.
For a table of five, we shared the meat platter for four (a bargain at ~$130 and could easily have fed six) and a selection of traditional Persian stews with flat bread. All were delicious, and the meat was just amazing - no fat, no sinew, just tender, juicy meat. Don't miss the saffron ice cream - it's a real winner.
Don't expect fine dining or white gloved service. Accept this place for what it is - a wonderful example of Persian homestyle cooking - and you'll really enjoy yourself.
It was fantastic :). I have been to Saffron restaurant for several times. I think they are doing as a 5star restaurant and they are trying to give the best service and food to the customers. I have always left there satisfied and happily. I was reading Akbar's comment and I did not find it true and fair. First: in saffron restaurant I have never seen anybody playing keyboard. They just play really nice music clips on their screen. Second: they do not have any salad that is $7. Their Shirazi salad is $8 and House salad is $14.
I think Akbar's comment is about another restaurant or place.
Thank you Saffron for giving such a nice service.

Great Night Out!!!. If your looking for a restaurant with flavor is food & atmosphere, i highly recommend Saffron Fine Persian Cuisine. After hearing positive feedback from work colleges in the area & reading about the restaurant in "Sunday Times" i decided to check it out for myself. Knew it was BYO so brought along a bottle of Red & White Wine :) Right away i felt a warm to the place & coming from an ethnic background, i loved the noise level being its something i'm use to growing up, especially on Saturday night. i went with my partner & our friends & ordered the works pretty much (appetizer, mains, & desert). We started by ordering a Kashk-e-Badmjan which our server told us was a Eggplant dip & Trio of Must which is 3 different type of yogurt dips which was nice to share.... The server also brought out a starting salad which was for free & bread which i can't say many restaurants do these days which was nice of them. For main's we decided we order a platter for 4 which was just delightful. t was pretty much a collections of different traditional styles of Beef, Lamb & Chicken which was so soft & juicy!!! I hate when meat is over cooked for myself personal cause it does take away alot flavors but i guess you could tell them to cook the meat's morel if you prefer. We didn't even get thru our main cause we decided to save room for desert which was to die for!!! Also just in time for the belly dancer who came out around 8:30pm & was fantastic entertainment which the rest of the restaurant really got into, as she pulled people up for a dance. For desert we order 2 mixes of Persian Ice Cream called Bastani which had a beautiful rich tasted tangy lime kick to it & Falodeh which was like a Icey Sorbet. We had a great & memorable night, & we'll deferentially be back here & recommending it to our friends...i found the list of all the foods on the website www.saffroncuisine.com.au by the way
Enjoyable, affordable and exquisite meals, highly recommended for the non-serious diner.
FANTASTIC. Alright, firstly you should not go to Saffron on a Friday or Saturday night if you want a a quiet intimate dinner, if you or one of your party doesn't like too much noise... or if you are shy....
Otherwise GO!! The food is amazing, great serving sizes and very good prices. It was so tasty and cooked to perfection.
The belly dancer is just gorgeous and very entertaining.
The staff are all so welcoming and lovely. So important and rare these days.
Such a great experiance, I can not wait to go back!
Still quiet in April 2011. My understanding is he imported the chef and the bread machine. The food at present is excellent but the restaurant is not busy. It is a little of the beaten track and Perth has a history of Persian cuisine struggling ("Persians" can eat at home and the aussies don't understand it). We are trekking across town most weeks working our way through the menu. The prices are good for the starters/stews but the grills use the proper nice cuts of meat and more what you expect for this standard of food. Hurry in to try things (as they may need to trim the menu) and help keep a good meal option going.
Perfect!!. Went there last night with the family, great new restaurant with a hands on owner. The service was exceptional. The owner himself seated us.
The food was awesome, very authentic. We had the platter for 4 as the mains, it was huge! We struggled to finish it.
Great atmosphere in the restaurant, they have done the place up well. And its BYO!
Thanks guys, will be back
We have never had Persian food before so decided to take the kids tonight. the new management have a real passion about the food and it shows through on the plate. We loved every mouthful of the food they recommended to us. We would definitely recommend and will be going back.
Thank you for the experience. Good luck guys.
I am originally from the Eastern states and this place is my new go to for all things Persian. The owner and staff are lovely and more than happy to help or just chat about all things Persian. I personally love their cream cakes, baklava and speciality bread. They also have spices, herbs, healthy loose leaf teas, nuts, interesting drinks, rose water... well anything Persian you could need! I seriously love this place, I feel like I’m traveling somewhere exotic every time I go!
I had my 21st birthday dinner here and it was such a great experience that I came back for numerous other special occasions, as well as just casual dinners. The Lamb Koobideh is my go-to: flavourful and exquisite. The decor is stunning and buffet Fridays are always a lot of fun. The obscure location in a rear lot probably hurts them (quite unfairly). Thankfully, I live nearby so, for me, this is a definite 5 star all around.
Fantastic buffet, reasonable prices and very friendly family style crew.
If you want to impress your Australian friends with persian cuisine, this might be your best choice.
Chef also is the business owner's wife and she does a fantastic job in my opinion.
Very clean & inviting restaurant. The service was impeccable, friendly. The food was fantastic. Huge portions, absolutely authentic, many choices, all very fresh. And very good value. Plenty for takeaway too. Love love love this place.
