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.

Every time we go to Saffron Kitchen, we know that we will have one absolutely perfect dish after another. We are completely taken with the sides, the manti, the fried eggplant, and the cauliflower. All the grilled and skewered meals are also perfectly cooked and surrounded by a seasoned rice which is so flavorful, topped by a lightly spiced fresh Afghani bread. The three sauces that await diners on the table are spicy and palate thrilling - so delish! We ended our dinner with a gentle and lightly sweet rice custard - delish! The restaurant has tables both inside and outside on the patio. Every single person who works at Saffron Kitchen is as warm and friendly as is the owner. They make diners feel like they are really appreciated! We love it there.

Loved our lunch at Saffron Kitchen! We were a group of four, and we all tried different entrees: Caesar Salad with Salmon; Cilantro Caesar Salad; King Salmon Kabobs; Qabuli Pallaw (baked lamb w/caramelized carrots and raisins, served with seasoned Basmati Rice; Aush (Afghan soup w/noodles and beef). Everything was very good. Three sauces were served (red/green/white), so we could add flavors as desired. A rectangle of delicious, soft bread was also served. Service was great, attentive without being obtrusive. We had a leisurely lunch, and will definitely return!
