From Kabul to the mediteranean, at Saffron Kitchen we provide Afghan cuisine with a unique mediteranean flavors using herbs and spices along the silk-road region. Our recipes have stood the test of time for generations of home cooking. Our dumplings like Mantu and Ashak will remind of the ear east feasts while the various Kabobs of chicken, lamb, beef, and seafood are driven from the central asian recipes and spices. We offer an excellent vegetarian selection on our menu as well. To complement the food menu, we offer an excellent selection of premium wines, spirits, and many kinds of beer on tab.

Gracious when we were an hour late for our reservation due to having fallen asleep. Friend was still talking about how great our experience was from linen table clothes to not only the presentation of the food but the taste/quality was outstanding. Friendly staff. Felt seen by all. Would like servers to give us their name as opposed to asking for it.

This was our first visit to Saffron Kitchen. The review in East Bay Nosh was compelling. Our experience lived up to the review. The food and service were excellent. We’ll definitely add it to our list of neighborhood favorites.

I can’t put into words how much of an enjoyable dining experience my wife and I had this evening at Saffron Kitchen! We’ve dined here less than a handful of times with our families, but tonight we were able to have a date night with just the two of us and it couldn’t have been better - the food and beverages were excellent, but better than that was the top notch service by the staff (shout out to David) who pulled out all the stops with their hospitality. It was also really nice to look around the restaurant and see such a diverse crowd taking part in the Afghani cuisine, which is quintessentially Bay Area.

What a delightful experience! This was a recommendation from friends and we will certainly return. I had the lamb Qabuli Pallaw and it was full of tender lamb in a sweet savory rice with carrots and raisins. I had never had something similar and it was delicious. My husband thoroughly enjoyed the Shole, a sticky rice with beef. (think risotto variation) We splurged and had the POMEGRANATE CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM for dessert. Yes, an unexpected treat that is bright pink and has chocolate chunks. Everyone from the waiter to the chef was very friendly and helpful, as well as attentive. The space is charming and has multiple choices for seating. Give it a try!

The food was delicious. I had lamb kabobs and dumplings to start. Both were wonderfully seasoned and prepared. I also had a couple of cocktails that were creative and very tasty. The service was excellent. I was here on a Monday so it wasn’t crowded. Definitely will be back.

Great selection of dishes. Two of us started with the bolani and shared kebab plate and qurma plate plus a side veggie. It was enough food and we had some leftovers. The flavors were very good and we really liked the butternut squash with yogurt on the qurma plate. The staff was attentive and friendly including the bartender. We’d go back again and try other dishes.
