Restaurant Safran — Restaurant in Nice

We are a family of four that visited in June 2022.

We have visited Iranian restaurants around the world, including in Iran, and this is by far one of the best Iranian food experiences we have ever had.

We enjoyed it so much that we even returned for a second time on our last day in Nice and continued experiencing the exquisite food the restaurant has to offer. The restaurant was extremely accommodating and even assisted with altering a dish to make the Fesenjoon vegan (no meat) – which in its simplicity; was divine! All of our food was absolutely excellent – from the starters, to the mains and desserts (the traditional ice-cream and faloodeh was just like in Iran!).

The high prices further added to the disappointment, making this dining experience a complete letdown. Overall, I rate this meal 0/10 for both...

This is a very nice restaurant, well located, with cocktails and nice outdoor seating. Their specialty is Iranian cuisine. I generally order kebabs in Iranian restaurants but they offer different types of traditional dishes as well.

I ordered the beef kebab with rice. The kebab was delicious, juicy, and well cooked. I was, however, disappointed in the rice as it was really dry and appeared stale. I did not eat all of it. They had a bit of Iranian style yogurt on the side that was too salty and almost inedible. But, I wanted a good kebab and I got it. I would definitely go back and try other dishes and eat kebab again, but skip the rice. The server was very nice and friendly and the setting with the view was...
