Zafron is my favorite restaurant in Brisbane. I first went with my boyfriend, and we tasted the food and were awed. I then proceeded to book a large party for a friend's birthday. We had chefs choice which consists of 3 big courses. Really nice evening again. (Tantalize the tastebuds!! - October, 2009)

Went there for dinner and ordered their speciality - Chello Kebab and Seasonal Fruit Walnut Crumble for dessert. The food was spectacular, the saffron rice was the tastiest rice I have ever eaten. The Persian staff were very nice and helpful. I highly recommend this place. (Beez - See my reviews (19) - July, 2008)

Zafron eases the cravings of a restricted traveller. I have eaten twice at this Restaurant, the first on a romantic evening and the second, celebrating a B'day with my family of 9. Both occassions we received fast and friendly service; Our need for an adventure fulfilled; our bellies full, and our tastebuds addicted. Zafron's menu catered for my family of fussy eaters and the serving portions were large and flavoursome. I love the feel of the Restaurant; the Menu; the Staff and the feeling that for those few hours I am enjoying the best foods; Aroma's and sounds of another culture without having to board an Aeroplane. My husband and I are very grateful to Zafron and highly reccommend this restaurant to anyone! (Emily Coleman - June, 2008)

We were in a large group.. so we were advised to order the banquet. I would not do this in future as there was not really enough food. (May, 2008)

Zafron was a fantastic restaurant, everyone really enjoyed the night. I could taste the quality of the ingredients - there was no cutting corners, and the food had a brilliant taste and aroma. Loved the tapas and the Italian drinking chocolate was to die for! I will definitely be back again with more friends. (April, 2008)

the food was magnificent and worth the money. great venue for a great night out with friends. The service was great and listening to Michael play the guitar added to the experience. The menu was explained very well and the service was personal. (January, 2008)

Very enjoyable. (December, 2007)

"...Zafron, decorated it with warm ethnic charm... The room is filled with colour and ambience. A deck out the front is a cool spot on a hot evening... you will get plenty of warmth and lovely melded flavours and dishes that are great for sharing..."

Lizzie Loel, Courier Mail - April 2008

"This BYO offers exceptional value for honest, yet exotic,

food. It is casual enough to put the laidback set at ease but

with sufficient panache to please less bohemian diners..."
