   We had a lovely meal.at Saffron. The staff are extremely pleasant and have just the right mix of being attentive but leaving you to enjoy your meal. Waiting times for food and drinks were just right. We sat outside but could still hear the live music drifting out. The only thing I would say was that our table for four could have been a little larger, especially if you are having small plates or fajitas, as it fills up very quickly. We had a very pleasant evening and we would definitely visit again. Excellent variety for vegetarians too. Very reasonably priced and well-persented food.

   A brilliant find. Food and service absolutely top quality. Beautiful little restaurant which even had some outside seating. Vegan options not an afterthought, actually very tasty and well presented. Cocktails outstanding !

   We didn't realise there would be a live musician there it was amazing! Food was spicy and delicious. Excellent service. Only negative was it was a bit cramped! There was not much room in the aisle. Also to add, the tacos are quite messy and the napkin was used up very quickly, I would suggest adding a wet wipe to the table!

    Food quality, taste, presentation was excellent. Not too cramped and not too spaced out - just Goldilocks. Like everywhere at the moment there were too few staff and the staff that were there were working too hard. I would certainly go back

    Food and service was great. Cocktails was fabulous! Live music was an added bonus and have recommended to all our friends. Only downfall was the added service charge as most people haven't got the money and it's seen as a treat but when food and service is great you will automatically tip.

    Tried this restaurant for the first time. Service was good- attentive and caring but the waitress did not have a great knowledge of the cuisine. The food was reasonably priced but was very ordinary.

    I originally thought that we were booking a Spanish style tapas Restaraunt. However, they have changed the menu so it is now mainly Mexican. A funky interior. We did like the prawn tacos but the chorizo in the chicken and chorizo skewers was very chewy. We love red wine but the choice was even more limited in real life compared to that on the menu. Rioja or Malbec only. Now to the soundtrack. A dreadfully loud mix of RnB - maybe if we wee aged 14 we’d like it - but I doubt it. Even mariachi covers of 80s hits would be better that that. Overall, despite attentive service, we were left confused.

    Our first time at Saffron but it won’t be our last. The menu is unusual, which is what attracted us. We don’t have huge appetites so found two small plates, couscous salad and haloumi fries a great meal for two with a bottle of wine and a shared cheesecake for dessert. Everything we ordered was fresh and flavourful. Really delicious food at a very reasonable price. The staff were friendly and efficient. The only problem was that we had the place to ourselves, no other customers. I don’t understand why. This place should be packed out on a Friday night. I’ll highly recommend this restaurant.

    Saffron was simply amazing! The cocktails were first class - as was the food, which was incredibly tasty and really good value for money. The ambience was delightful and the staff were friendly, kind and attentive. Thank you for a perfect evening. We feel very fortunate to have been recommended Saffron and it’s our new favourite place.

    Early dinner on a Friday and we were the only 2 people in the restaurant, no atmosphere at all. The server was efficient in taking our order and sorting drinks .but the mains arrived before one of the starters. We ordered the hummus plate and octopus as starters then the chicken tacos and lamb tacos. The food was awful, almost inedible, (how can you go wrong with hummus?!!) to the point where we left most of it for fear of being ill. The best part was the mojitos. We were in and out within 45 minutes with a bill over £50. The server asked how it was - she could tell given the amount of food left - we said not great but there was no offer to discount our cheque. We paid and left. We won’t be back which is a shame given we live locally. There are far better food options available in Bruntsfield.

    Very disappointing. Restaurant was cold and lacking atmosphere. Food lukewarm, a bit greasy and stodgy. Asked waitress for advice on how much to order as a variety of small or large plates. Ended up with way too much food. Cocktails also pretty poor. Unfortunately wouldn’t recommend or be back.

    Good menu range with very attentive and kind wait staff. Booked a table at 8:30 on a Saturday, and had only 10 minutes to order prior to kitchen closing. As a result we felt the food was rushed in preparation. After our dishes came out, we saw the chefs visibly leave the restaurant. The other table in with us at 8:30 tried to order dessert and were told that was not possible despite the restaurant closing at 10 and it being 9:30. Seems strange to permit bookings that late when full service won’t be offered. Again felt sorry for the wait staff who were lovely and knew the situation was a little tragic.

    Food was lovely though we ordered too much and couldn’t finish it! Tacos come in 3s and there were 2 of us so that wasn’t easy to share, same with the chickpea and courgette fritters though they were easier to cut in half! :) All tasted great, was quick to arrive and the service was fab. Will definitely be going back!!
