Saffron Soho

Authentic and delicious Persian food, with flavourful kebabs and fragrant rice, reminds me of home of my origin background! Glad to see some authentic Iranian restaurants in Hong Kong with a range of delicious Persian food, would highly recommend!

In the hustle and bustle of Hong Kong’s streets, finding a Persian restaurant is truly a delight. For lunch, I had a Soltani kebab with Doogh and Shirazi salad. The taste was good—maybe not excellent, but still satisfying, especially considering how challenging it is to serve authentic Iranian food in Eastern countries. I’d rate it a 7 out of 10. The restaurant had a cozy and pleasant atmosphere, and the staff were very friendly and professional. If you’re craving Persian food, I definitely recommend checking it out.

THIS PLACE HAS THE BEST FOOD. We ordered one with chicken and rice, and one rice dish with lamb and chicken. The saffron rice has a very unique flavour, but it works so well with the rice. The meat was very juicy and tender. The lamb was some of the best lamb I have tried. The chicken felt very clean and healthy, and very delicious. Even though they didn’t provide much sauce with the food, the flavour of the meat and rice stood out and a lot of sauce was not required. I’d definitely go eat here again. Also, do try out the drinks as they have some traditional Persian beverages which blew me away. 5/5
