“I’m a Persian American originally from LA and this is one of the best Persian restaurants I have been to. I am so impressed with the original recipes of the food and the ability to train the cooks to maintain loyalty to the original dish. The ingredients they use are high quality. My dad is an excellent cook and when I eat at Shiraz I feel like I am eating back at home. I should also mention I am a vegetarian and really appreciate the new vegan options - the gheimeh (vegetable stew) is a must. And the saffron ice cream — it’s what perfume would taste like if it were edible. The jazz band (with the clarinet) also created such a nice atmosphere. Bravo ? ? and thank you for bringing such high quality to nyc!“
“Zaffron Bloom in Hasbrouck Heights, NJ, is a delightful addition to the culinary scene, offering a fusion of Modern Persian Cuisine with Middle-terranean influence. Helmed by Chef Shahin, whose years of catering experience have culminated in the realization of her dream restaurant, Zaffron Bloom promises a unique dining experience. The restaurant's namesake spice, saffron, is aptly celebrated for its rich history, cultural significance, and exquisite flavor profile.During our lunch visit, we were treated to a delicious meal that surpassed our expectations. The service was impeccable, exceeding the standard. Our decision to dine at Zaffron Bloom was influenced by a friend's glowing recommendation, and we're thrilled to have discovered this gem. Zaffron Bloom truly embodies the essence of "the spice of life" with its innovative approach to traditional Persian cuisine. Deliciousness!! To all Yelpers.... Guys we have to support small local business. It's more important than you can imagine especially during these times. Give them a try, we're sure you'll enjoy it. Be on the lookout... a little insider info, they'll soon be opening a market adjacent to Zaffron. Good luck with all and future ventures. @vinopotato.“
“Where do I start? Great food, great prices, great atmosphere - for a restaurant on Madison Ave this place is unbelievable. I ordered the arugula salad with shish kebab. Also had saffron ice cream which was so good we had to order it again after finishing the original one“
“Most incredible Arabic food you can have in New York. So authentic, fresh , and delicious! The people were so welcoming and kind! They were so packed there was no where to sit but they made room for us ! Says a lot about their great food and hospitality! Deff a must try !“
“Wow what a great little restaurant (and it IS little). We went for dinner and found the food so so good. Not going to try spell out what we ordered but the olive appetizer with the walnuts and pomegranates was AMAZING, so was the soup which had such a surprising depth of flavour, and the tagine which I've never had in this style before. The dessert was this really SOFT chiffon cake with spices like cardamom and cinnamon and a light fluffy cream with a cherry preserve I think. It was so good with the rose tea. I will definitely be back it's one of the best restaurants on Washington St I've found so far“
“NEXT LEVEL AMAZIng. A true gem in busy mid town. The atmosphere is very special, tasteful and cozy, with very unique design. Feels homey and ceremonial at the same time. The menu has both the traditional Persian kebabs and signature stews as well as more regional and usual dishes - both equally delicious. The desserts are fantastic. Best Iranian restaurant in the city. Highly recommend!!!“
“I have been going to this restaurant for years and every-time I have received wonderful food and service. The chef is Persian and makes authentic Persian home style food. I recommend dinning at this place. They have the most variety of food in the menu like Kaleh-Pacheh and Abgoosht-Dizie compared to other Persian restaurants. Very kind and attentive staff.“
“We ordered tahdig with gheimeh bademjan which was perfect. Tahdig was awesome. We also ordered koobideh, we liked it, but it was not the best we had in persian restaurants. Service was very good. We asked for more grilled tomato and they added 2 more grilled tomato for no extra charge.“
