We have had several birthdays for our kids at the Saffron. It was our kids' favourite due to the great selection of dishes. And you can't go wrong with the huge dessert buffet! My wife and I enjoyed the seafood buffet in the end of the restaurant.

Worst brunch I have been to in Dubai. Scumbag chav market. Food was pretty terrible, just a lot of alcohol, frankly most people weren't eating anyway, it's just a free bar for three hours with bad music. Also they need to look into their speaker system the quality of sound was awful. Go here if you want a cheap booze... More

Asian flavours from steamed Chinese dim sum and tender Mongolian delights, to spicy Malaysian specialities and creative Japanese sushi.

They kept telling us at the hotel that Kaleidoscope had an international breakfast and Saffron only did an 'Asian' breakfast. 'What does that mean' we kept asking.. Blank faces from the staff. 'Asian Breakfast' was the response. We like all Asian food but not so much for breakfast (Thai green curry? Sushi? Dim Sum?) I don't know and being ignorant... More

A great brunch particularly if you are young (but an adult!) .. lots of food and lots of cocktails ... live music and a really fun atmosphere!

This is the first time I have visited Saffron for a couple of years, and I was very kindly taken there by friends. I had heard mixed things about it. It is adults only, so no kids. It took a while to get in, which I did not enjoy, and they struggled to find our reservation, further holding things up.... More

I went to Saffron's Friday brunch with some friends today and I was sorely disappointed. As soon as you walk in you get the feeling like you are in a cafeteria and once seated the feeling doesn't go away. The tables are positioned too close together, the chairs are uncomfortable and the lighting bad. The sitting areas contain way more... More
