Saffron is a family owned restaurant in the heart of Howard Beach.
While we offer a variety of traditional Spanish tapas, we also offer a wide variety of innovative dishes which incorporate Italian, Greek, Cuban, Asian, and American styles into made-from-scratch dishes you will never find anywhere else. In addition to Meat, Seafood, and Vegetarian options available for every visitor, our Chef is also able to deftly assist with any dietary needs or restrictions you may have.
Saffron has plenty of free parking located in the rear and we are happy to accept orders for take-out.

    The food quantity is very low. We order Mashroom Galouti Kabab. They gave 2 piece of puffed mushrooms, which is not enough for even one person appetizer. Another one - Avocado Raita in small shallow bowl feels like why I even ordered this item. One more faux - The Kullar Chai does not come in real Kullar. It is in regular brown cup. Overall you leave the place hungry after paying fat bill.

    While being seated there were two employees arguing with each other which felt inapproppriate and made us wonder what was going on. This happened right at our table. Overall we enjoyed the food. Had to ask for water refill but didn't receive it. Had to ask again.
