The lengthy menu at Saffron includes exotic starters such as lamb brain and octopus "a la plancha", as well as lamb shank and whole roasted branzini for entrees.
From the restaurant's website:
"The critically acclaimed and award-winning Saffron Restaurant & Lounge is the brainchild of brothers Saed and Sameh Wadi. Opened in February 2007 and specializing in contemporary Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisine, we feature a seasonal menu which utilizes only the highest-quality ingredients. The delicacy of our cuisine is in the details of the craft; curing lamb bacon, grinding aromatic spices and making ice creams and sorbets daily is what we take pride in."
Full bar. Serving dinner Mon–Sat. Closed Sun.
"A La Belle Vie-trained chef armed himself with his mother's Palestinian recipes and created Saffron's elegant menu of Mediterranean-Middle Eastern fusion fare."
