    Definitely start with the Atay. Bastilla is a great app if you're looking for savory and sweet. Definitely try a tajine. I recommend lamb. Finish with baklava. Do NOT get the tiramisu. You're welcome.

    Top rated lamb tajine is so tender and perfect with couscous. Antipasti dish of hummus, spinach & eggplant spread were also winners. We will definitely be back

    The Saffron Cafe is a lovely, intimate restaurant, perfect for a nice dinner for two or a dinner party with couple friends. My wife and I meet there for lunch on occasion. A lovely little spot.

    Delicious! Ask about the specials & try the lamb honey (even if you don't think you like lamb)- sweet and tender. Service was great too!
