Saffron Restaurant & Lounge

Permanently Closed.. The critically-acclaimed and award-winning Saffron Restaurant & Lounge is the brain child of brothers Saed & Sameh Wadi. Opened in February 2007 and specializing in contemporary Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisine, we feature a seasonal menu which utilizes only the highest quality ingredients. The delicacy of our cuisine is in the details of the craft; curing lamb bacon, grinding aromatic spices and making ice creams and sorbets daily is what we take pride in. The bar at Saffron is an ideal location to sit and relax while enjoying unique, hand-crafted cocktails, a perfectly adapted wine list with selections from around the world and delectable mezzes from the Mediterranean. The space itself boast a vibrant, warm and inviting atmosphere that makes it a perfect location for dinner with family and friends, business associates or an intimate night out.
