스토리

이 장소에 대해

Saffran Saigon은 Quốc Hương 거리 2층에 자리하고 있다. 인테리어는 꾸밈없이 단순하며, 아래 거리보다 눈에 띄게 조용하다. 오픈 키친은 대부분의 테이블에서 내려다보이도록 설계되어 있는데, 소수의 요리를 정성껏 완성하는 메뉴 방식에 잘 맞는 의도적인 구성이다. 메뉴는 이란 요리에서 가져온 약 일곱 가지 요리로 이루어지며, 그 범위 밖으로 나가려 하지 않는다. Ghormeh Sabzi—허브를 듬뿍 넣은 양고기 스튜로 페르시아 가정식의 핵심 요리—는 단골들이 가장 자주 언급하는 메뉴로, 어린 시절 먹던 맛에 가깝다는 이란 손님들의 평가도 줄을 잇는다. 양고기와 닭고기 라이스 플레이트는 정갈하게 플레이팅되어 나오며 간도 잘 맞는다. 식사의 마무리는 사프란 아이스크림으로, 가벼운 텍스처에 지나치게 달지 않고, 이 향신료를 제대로 사용했을 때만 느낄 수 있는 은은한 꽃향기가 살아있다.

이 레스토랑은 할랄 인증을 받았으며, Thao Dien의 무슬림 주민과 방문객이 이 동네에 익숙한 일식·이탈리아식 이외의 선택지를 원할 때 채울 수 있는 빈자리를 메워준다. 단체 손님이 테이블의 상당 부분을 차지하는데, 공간은 대형 레스토랑 특유의 소음 없이 생일 모임을 수용하기에 충분하며, 스태프는 이벤트 관련 진행도 어렵지 않게 처리한다. 서비스는 세심하고 요리에 대한 지식도 풍부하며, 별도로 묻지 않아도 메뉴 설명이 이루어지기 때문에 처음 방문하는 손님도 낯선 요리를 어렵지 않게 탐색할 수 있다. 양이 넉넉하여 두 사람이 라이스 디시 두 개를 나누면 한 끼 식사로 충분하다. 주방은 화요일부터 일요일까지 운영하며, 월요일은 문을 닫는다. 5인 이상 단체 방문 시에는 공간이 제한적인 만큼 예약이 권장된다.

1. The menu has only 7 savory items and 2 of them offer pita bread but the staff told us they ran out of pita and that we had to eat the dips with rice instead. 2. We then ordered pita bread from a nearby bakery to eat with the dips. We asked the restaurant to heat up the pita for us and they agreed. 20 minutes later, still no pita. We reminded them to heat up the pita, and the staff said that they didn’t allow outside food, and that they now found a way to make fresh pita bread for us. The “freshly-made” pita was old and dry. 3. The meat dishes we ordered were all frozen and heated up. The lamb dish, although with good seasoning, barely had any meat. The chicken didn’t have flavor, and the minced meat dishes were served almost cold. 4. The baba ganoush did not taste anything like eggplant, and the hummus was flavorless. It’s such a pity, as I love Persian food and there aren’t many options in Saigon. I usually never write reviews, but I haven’t had such a disappointing dining experience like this in years so I had to.

I’ve tried the special dish called Ghormeh Sabzi a traditional Iranian Lamb stew. Was very delicious and you couldn’t find this dish elsewhere. Star was the saffron Ice cream, light, not so sweet but rich in taste. 10/10 and it’s Halal! Will definitely come back when in Saigon.

Went with a big group of non-Iranian friends and we all loved it. As an Iranian, I felt so proud—the food was tender, mild, and tasted just like home. The staff were incredibly kind and the atmosphere was warm. Can’t wait to come back!
