Came in today with a large to go order for 20 people and was helped quickly and with outstanding service! Our group was very pleased with their food -- I appreciated the versatility of the menu offerings since we all know it can be hard to find a place that will please everybody... We got hummus bowls, stuffed pitas, rice bowls, tacos, salads, fries, hummus, chickpeas, and the dessert nutrolls (basically the entire menu!). The food and toppings were all very fresh. Kudos to the real superstars: the staff at saffRON who were really helpful and went above and beyond. We will absolutely be returning here!

I’ve been waiting for this place to open. It’s in an area of the valley without many restaurants. The food is very good, it’s a lot like chipotle but with Mediterranean food. Basically choose a base, rice hummus, pita, salad, etc. Then choose from many nice toppings and finally a protein. Food is fresh and very delicious. You can get a side of rice, hummus or fries for extra. Very polite staff!

Very friendly staff and a convenient location. The food was really bland. The pita was exceedingly puffy and soggy. Their sauces are not pleasant and tasted odd. We had the chicken shawarma, beef shawarma, and falafel. Very tasteless and dry. I ended up trashing 3/4 of mine. I had such high hopes for this place.

It's just not my cup of tea. The concept is great. Build your Mediterranean style. It's like the Mediterranean Chipotle, but without the quality or taste for me. To top it off the first day they opened I got a hair on my tray - not mine. Gave them another chance a few weeks later and it just didnt do it for me. Too bland and overpriced.

So excited to have a mediterranean restaurant in neighborhood. Hubby's choice today and totally enjoyed our lunch/dinner. He ate the chicken, veggie with rice bowl and I got the hummus, veggie with beef bowl. Very filling and definitely on the healthy side.

They just opened and it's a great place to go. It's great tasting home style authentic Mediterranean food. And by the way, the service is excellent! Highly recommended.
