Saffron

The only thing I can say that’s not excellent about Saffron is that sound carries inside. Fortunately they have some outdoor seating. Otherwise I must say that we love this place. The Brain Food , the Satay, the vegetable rolls and especially the sauces are delicious. My personal fav is their peanut sauce.

I discovered Saffron in my early years of arriving in San Diego, back when next to the restaurant they had the free standing rotisserie spot. I have had a variety of their dishes over the years and they have never dissapointed. One of my favorites is and always has been their salad rolls with peanut sauce. Soooo good. Tonight i was craving their roasted chicken and a salad roll. Their combination plates for the chicken come with a very generous portion of jasmine rice and a thai coleslaw that is refreshing and light. It is a great value for the amount of food you receive. I'm giving it four stars versus five only because the chicken was a bit dry, granted it was breast. Just a tad bit more of moisture would have been great. The peanut sauce, still delectable, but thicker than i recall. They have modernized the place in terms of paint, art, and decorations. It has a clean modern feel and the rotisserie spot is no longer, it was murged into the kitchen of the main restaurant. Where the rotisserie spot was is now a ceviche and taco restaurant. The menu looked great. Parking can be a bear as there is minimal street parking for the numerous restaurants along that street<. All things said and done, poor parking and all; the food is always worthh it.
