Outstanding as always. The food, the service, the ambiance, it has it all. Labneh appetizer with naan as delicious starters. Love the shish kabob with orange rice. Of course the Sultans meal is a must.

Very rough start but chalked it up to inexperience at the host station. Everyone has a “first day.” A manager took over and things recovered nicely. Sabzi plate with fresh mint and pita was quite tasty. We had Chicken Zafron and Lamb Kabobs, both expertly roasted and delicious. Overall, a very positive dining experience and made it to the show before the house lights dimmed.

We have enjoyed it in the past but not sure we’ll be back. We got water when seated, waited for a server, finished the water, flagged someone for a refill (had just refilled table next to us but didn’t look at us), asked for a server. Ordered immediately since we’d been there so long. Had to ask for the bread and snacks they give every table. 1 of 2 drinks ordered came from the bar, the other never did. Got food after 80 minutes sitting there. Food was ok but needed yogurt sauce desperately. Would have ordered some Labneh and paid $9 but nobody ever came back. Except with the bill.

This was our second dining experience at Zafron and it didn’t disappoint with its food. The only disappointment was the slow delivery of our entrees, especially considering we had a 5:30 reservation and we were one of a handful of early diners (it became quite busy around 6). Drunks and appetizers were brought out in reasonable times but the entrees took a long time. Despite this issue, we will return and continue to recommend this restaurant.
