Warm welcome and very good food

Persian ambiance in Nice with friendly service.

The chicken skewers and beef fillet skewers are excellent. Thank you again for this refined cuisine. Steven and Helene

We discovered Saffron while strolling along the port, and what a fortunate find it turned out to be. So we decided to come back for dinner tonight and chose to sit inside, which turned out to be just as enjoyable as their famous terrace. The dining room is warm and comfortable, with a calm atmosphere that lets you really focus on the food. We went for a very Iranian order: chelo kabob koubideh, chelo kabob barg, and a glass of dough. Every dish was done exactly the way it should be. The saffron rice was fragrant and fluffy, the koubideh tender and flavorful, and the barg juicy with that unmistakable taste of a proper marinade. The dough was authentic too — refreshing and perfectly balanced with the grilled meats. What impressed me most was that it didn’t feel like a “fusion” version of Persian food. It was the real thing, prepared with respect for tradition, and served with pride. The flavors immediately brought me back home, which is not something I can often say when eating Persian cuisine outside of Iran. Service was friendly and attentive without being pushy, and the whole experience carried an ease that made us feel welcome. Prices are more than fair for the quality and location, especially considering how authentic the dishes tasted. Saffron is a rare find in Nice — a place that serves truly Iranian food in a beautiful setting by the port, with staff who clearly care. For anyone craving genuine Persian flavors, this is the spot. Five stars without hesitation.

Delicious. We enjoy it every time. Thank you 🙏❤️🥰

Tasty Persian restaurant in Nice! We were on vacation and were delighted to find this jewel of a restaurant. Everything we ordered was delicious, from the kabobs to the stews to dessert. Don’t hesitate to eat here. Friendly service as well.

We received a warm welcome upon our arrival. The team offered us the chance to discover Iranian specialties, such as Dough: a drink made with yogurt, mint, lemon, and sparkling water, both refreshing and delicious (we even got a small version to taste!). For dessert, we enjoyed Bastani: pistachio ice cream flavored with rose water and saffron, truly excellent for those who love pistachios. We also tried the Caesar salad (a very generous portion) and the Mont-Saint-Michel mussels and fries, which were excellent. The place is very clean, the atmosphere friendly, and the service attentive. 👉 A big thank you and a little hello from the Alsatians!

The food was incredibly fresh and absolutely delicious. The tea was outstanding and a perfect complement to the meal. The staff were not only kind but also attentive and resourceful, making the experience even better. We’ll definitely be coming back!

Incredible persian food, hospitality, and service all nice to a stunning view of the yachts in the marina. And the shisha was delicious!

The food and service are excellent. The best thing is that you feel that you ate well and were full. You have to try the rice.
