4.9 / 5.0(450 reviews)
Specially the mix platter seafood kebab worth the price. I dont like fish So i changed with chicken and they allow tht. Zafrani bone less chicken briyani was good. Jus I am not satisfied with the Panni puri its abit soru. Overall the service and taste good worth the price. The restaurant boasts a wonderful ambiance, complemented by a staff that serves every guest wholeheartedly. We were particularly impressed by Ibrahim, who attended to us on two visits. He was exceptionally attentive and provided excellent recommendations tailored to our preferences. The food is exquisite, offering authentic and delicate local Indian flavors. Having already visited twice, we eagerly plan to return with friends. It was a truly memorable experience. I had the most wonderful dining experience at Zafran RestoCafe! From the cozy ambiance to the attentive service, everything was just perfect. The food was absolutely delicious — I tried both the spicy and creamy dishes, and each one was bursting with flavor. 😍🍴 The portions were generous, beautifully presented, and truly satisfying. What made it even more special was the welcoming atmosphere that made us feel right at home. 💕 Whether you’re planning a casual meal or a special dinner, Zafran is definitely a gem worth visiting. Can’t wait to come back again!

The newly opened restaurant offers a very comfortable and welcoming environment, with two floors of well-designed seating. It’s a great spot for casual get-togethers with friends or relaxed family dinners. The dishes are beautifully presented, full of flavor, and very satisfying. The lamb is especially tender and flavorful, and the flatbread is absolutely delicious — crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. A wonderful dining experience overall!
