Top quality authentic Persian flavours delivered to you
Inspired by the world’s rarest spice, imported fresh from Iran, Saffron’s succulent meat dishes and accompanying piquant appetisers and dips are prepared fresh. The restaurant’s catering experience is unique in that it emphasises health-consciousness without compromising on flavour. Their customised catering menu features exclusively barbecued meats, without adding oil or undergoing frying during their preparation.
Saffron is produced from the dried stigmas of the autumn-blooming crocus flower, delivering a pungent flavour with metallic notes that has been enjoyed for centuries. With an origin in 10th-century BC Persia, the spice was first used as a dye and perfume and then, later, as medicine. It was Cyrus the Great, the founder of the first Persian Empire, who notoriously used saffron as a body wash in his bathwater. Saffron takes the crown as one of the world’s most expensive spices, requiring 14,000 stigmas to produce just one ounce of grounded saffron.
The restaurant’s chefs take pride in delivering the true essence of Persian flavours, ensuring every bite is a delightful experience.
Saffron’s catering packages feature an assortment of veritable Persian recipes. Sink your teeth into the lamb koobideh (ground lamb kebab), chicken koobideh (ground chicken kebab), and bakhtiari (chicken and beef kebab), barbecue dishes that offer pungent aromas and roasted flavours.
Starters and stews like the mast-o-khiar (yoghurt with cucumber mint), mirza ghasemi (BBQ aubergine and garlic dip), and khoresht karafs (celery and lamb stew) build on the team’s family recipes passed from generation to generation to offer you a balance of sour, spicy, sweet, and bold Persian bites.
