SAFFRON — Restaurant in Seoul

We recently dined at Saffron and ordered three vegetarian dishes — hummus, tabbouleh, and falafel — along with two Kashmiri breads. The staff and hosts were warm and welcoming, and the service from the waitstaff was great. However, the overall experience left us a bit disappointed.

The restaurant was a little busy when we arrived, which may have contributed to the slow service from the kitchen. The bill came to a surprising 51,000, which felt quite high given the small portion sizes. The hummus was extremely salty — so much so that we had to request lemon to balance the flavor, and surprisingly, we were charged for that too.

We ended up feeling fuller from the bread than the actual dishes. While Saffron might be more suitable for meat eaters, vegetarian options felt overpriced and...

I got a grill platter, and the lamb wasn't the best quality. it had connective tissue, the stuff you have to spit out. The chicken was overcooked a bit too. Not bad food if your hungry, but its not the greatest either. If it was cheaper I would give 4 starts. However, it is a very nice place. So maybe your paying for that? If you want a decent meal at a nice place, this is a good option if your willing...
