   First time trying here. Amazing food - great assortment of mostly small dishes (w/ normal to large sized portions) to share. Ideal for small groups. Great, friendly service too. Will definitely be back!

   Saffron was simply amazing! The cocktails were first class - as was the food, which was incredibly tasty and really good value for money. The ambience was delightful and the staff were friendly, kind and attentive. Thank you for a perfect evening. We feel very fortunate to have been recommended Saffron and it’s our new favourite place.

   Early dinner on a Friday and we were the only 2 people in the restaurant, no atmosphere at all. The server was efficient in taking our order and sorting drinks .but the mains arrived before one of the starters. We ordered the hummus plate and octopus as starters then the chicken tacos and lamb tacos. The food was awful, almost inedible, (how can you go wrong with hummus?!!) to the point where we left most of it for fear of being ill. The best part was the mojitos. We were in and out within 45 minutes with a bill over £50. The server asked how it was - she could tell given the amount of food left - we said not great but there was no offer to discount our cheque. We paid and left. We won’t be back which is a shame given we live locally. There are far better food options available in Bruntsfield.

   Very disappointing. Restaurant was cold and lacking atmosphere. Food lukewarm, a bit greasy and stodgy. Asked waitress for advice on how much to order as a variety of small or large plates. Ended up with way too much food. Cocktails also pretty poor. Unfortunately wouldn’t recommend or be back.

    Everything was exceptional! Casual yet cool with music at a reasonable level to enjoy conversation. The cocktails were excellent (not overly sweetened). We ordered 3 small plates and tacos to share and left with clean plates.

    Good menu range with very attentive and kind wait staff. Booked a table at 8:30 on a Saturday, and had only 10 minutes to order prior to kitchen closing. As a result we felt the food was rushed in preparation. After our dishes came out, we saw the chefs visibly leave the restaurant. The other table in with us at 8:30 tried to order dessert and were told that was not possible despite the restaurant closing at 10 and it being 9:30. Seems strange to permit bookings that late when full service won’t be offered. Again felt sorry for the wait staff who were lovely and knew the situation was a little tragic.

    I have a peanut allergy and I was looked after very well. The food (we had the aubergine and garlic prawn tacos) was delicious and visually very appealing. Service was great. We will definitely come back!

    Food was lovely though we ordered too much and couldn’t finish it! Tacos come in 3s and there were 2 of us so that wasn’t easy to share, same with the chickpea and courgette fritters though they were easier to cut in half! :) All tasted great, was quick to arrive and the service was fab. Will definitely be going back!!

    First time at saffron and will securely be back. Food was excellent, really tasty. Service was also very good. If could change one thing it would be turn the lights down a little it’s very bright. Great experience however and will definitely return. Was very busy when we were in which is testament to food and service

    We visited in the evening and overall it was pretty good. The food was nice and it was absolutely value for money. We were well looked after and the service was great - especially from the female member of the team. The only slight hiccup was when our order arrived. One of our selections was incorrect - a flatbread rather than the taco we had ordered from the male member of the team. It genuinely wasn’t an issue for us because we’re pretty flexible, but he was insistent that we were mistaken and he had taken our order correctly - and he was quite abrupt about it. Oh dear! Would we go again? Yes, probably, but we felt it was more of a lunchtime venue and the lighting was quite bright so not much mood or ambience.

    Lovely decor and ambience, good service, however a dress code for front of house staff would make it more professional considering the price of the food. The food was well presented and tasty, however overly priced, £15 burgers were not worth the price. If they were sub £10 then they would warrant 5 stars. Only negative is the Mocktails were poor. It was a lovely find as it was my first visit, but would I visit again, probably not, unless the aforementioned points were improved.
