    Saffron Mediterranean kitchen came Julington Lakes yesterday. The food was outstanding. I had the curry, tofu and bananas. I also had the falafel salad and hummus. Outstanding meal! The falafel was very moist, not gritty, very good flavor. Absolutely delicious!

    Special sauce to dip your fries in.

    Absolutely delicious dinner from here tonight. I love gyros and can't find any that are close to home so I requested my neighborhood get the 904 trucks to come back. This one was soooo good. Most gyros come with tzatziki sauce on them and while I love that, this one had a "special sauce". I ordered the medium and I'm so thankful I did. It was spicy! Absolutely delicious meal that I hope will come back soon. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because they are a little heavy handed with the salt on the fries. The fries were cold, but I ordered on line and picked up the order so I won't fault them for that, but the salt was too much. You can add but can't take away. If you happen upon this food truck, definitely give them a try.

    One of my favorite food trucks! I tried the "side" Greek tacos (2/$6) for the first time and they were delicious! Baklava and hummus & pita bread (not pictured) were yummy too.

    Saffron = Zac Efron??? Am I the only person to think that this could possibly owned by him? Anyhoo...moving on... The Saffron Mediterranean Kitchen food truck came by into my neighborhood, so we had to try it. Cool looking truck. The person that took our order even had an accent which made me feel as if I was in another country...until I saw my neighbor in his pajamas placing an order. #Ewww Love the simple menu. We ordered the following: * Shawarma Plate (5/5): I love Shawarmas and this was one of THE BEST Shawarmas; enough for me to say I'd placed it on my Top 3 Shawarmas I've had. Generous amount of toppings and flavorful meats. Their signature sauce was different but complimented the sandwich very well. It's a messy eat but I would order this again and again. * Chicken & Lamb Plate (5/5): I opted to get half & half meats just to get the good taste and I was not disappointed. Delicious. * Baklava (free when you check-in on Yelp) 5/5: Pretty good, very sweet, but when is a Baklava never sweet? * Rice Pudding (free when you check-in on Yelp) 3/5: It was just okay. All in all, great food here. I cannot wait for this truck to come back to my HOOD. #NeighborHOODTruckDay

    Heeeeey another food truck in my area! So it wash lunchtime and to break the cycle of ordering from my new favorite healthy food restaurant I looked up online to see if any trucks were around. I saw this one and I hadn't been to them yet so why not? I loved that I could hear mediterranean music when I pulled up. That's a huge mood-setter. The person at the window taking orders was super-friendly. I told him that I'd like the lamb wrap to which he replied, "Oh that's a good one." He asked about a drink and I wasn't going to order one at first but the Mint Lemonade sounded good so I got that to. I also like that they had their Square device hanging out of the window for easy card access. Their Point of Sale also produced a numbered ticket that was easy to hang on to. I had my food and drink in no time and the person again suggested using sriracha sauce on the fries because it's good. Again...I wasn't going to but I did anyway. I sneaked back in to the office ninja-style so that no one would question where'd I gone to get lunch and be questioned, "Aww you went to a food truck? Why didn't you tell me". I had no time for that this day. Let me tell you...that wrap was fire! The lamb was not shaved like a shawarma but cut meatball style and I really enjoyed that. I could taste the flavors from the lamb better in this preparation. And the fries? Alone they would've been delicious but with the sriracha they were more excellent. I'm glad I got the opportunity to try this truck. I'd definitely come back to it if they're in the neighborhood.

    Gyro Wrap, comes with fries.

    UPDATE: The Team at Saffron reached out to me about the fries and how they could make things right and after that I had to update this review to 5 stars! That's amazing customer service you don't always see now a days. You can't go wrong with Saffron especially after seeing the amazing team that is also producing amazing food! Will 100% return after that and highly recommend. Thank you Food Trucks for keeping me sane these last couple weeks. If food comes to the neighborhood you know I will be there. This was my first time trying Saffron and as a big fan of a good Gyro I new I wouldn't be let down. If ordered the Gyro Wrap and that came with a side of fries. My food was ready pretty quickly which was great since I was very hungry. The Gyro was amazing. Each bite filled with delicious meat, Tzatziki Sauce, and fresh veggies. No a dry bite to be found. This Gyro was also one of the biggest I had ever had and that's always a plus in my book. The only reason for a 4 star review and not a 5 star is because the fries were kind of lackluster. Plan with not a lot of seasoning. But if your looking for a 5 star Gyro Saffron is the place to go.

    Falafel Wrap
    Tiffany H.

    As you can see from the 5-star reviews, Saffron has a fantastic reputation. They frequent my place of employment on my favorite days of the month - Food Truck Fridays. Although I love it, to be honest, I'm not really adept in the ways of the food truck. I admire the concept and am completely willing to pay $12+ a plate, without sit-down service, for something fantastic, but I just don't have much exposure to them. So when Food Truck Friday happens, I take advantage of the gathering. Y'know for research purposes lol. I am usually a patron of Hapa Li or Happy Grilled Cheese, but have heard so many good things about Saffron (my coworker swears by their chicken shawarma). I throughly enjoy Mediterranean Food for their fresh ingredients and packed-with-flavor dishes, so I figured I would give it a try. I was surprised to see that they had an online order option. It is super convenient because I could just order before-hand, skip the line, and grab my meal at the window. This works great for me so I don't have to spend most of my work hour waiting in line. The cashier was very friendly and I had my order in my hands at the time promised. Easiest process ever! I had ordered a falafel wrap with fries. I proudly walked to my favorite spot to eat my lunch, excited to try what I was sure would be a scrumptious meal. However, when I opened my box, I was disappointed. I paid an extra $2.50 to get upgraded to feta fries, but what I got was plain (and honestly lackluster) ones. I enjoyed the falafel wrap, I suppose, but I just couldn't get over not having my special fries. I definitely could have went back to inform them of the mix-up and I am sure they would have alleviated the problem, but I just didn't have the time on my break. Based off the reviews, I think it was a once-in-a-blue-moon oversight on their part. Like I said, it gets busy on Food Truck Fridays. But i just couldn't justify paying $15 including tip for this. Maybe next time?

    No Gyro meat in sight.

    They say are carving the meat. No spicket of meat. Does not seem fresh. I look in the truck and and gyro meat cooking. The truck may have good food but not gyros.

    Chicken/Lamb plate
    Ayesha F.

    Deliciously refreshing, lol! It's food truck Friday at my job and the moment that I saw the lineup of trucks I just knew I had to have it. Every bit was fresh and delicious, not too heavy for a workday lunch break but still very filling. I had the chicken/lamb plate, it didn't usually come that way but I asked for both and they granted my wish. This plate comes with basmati rice, a cucumber, onion and tomato salad as well as a yogurt based dipping sauce. I'll definitely choose them again, and again!

    Chicken wrap with fries
    Brandon A.

    Is there anything I can really add to this conversation? This is just a great food truck. The portions for the price are amazing! You get at least two breasts worth of meat in one chicken gyro. And they really pile the fries up. Everything tastes good too. The chicken was seasoned all through, and the meat was tender. The sandwich was very big but it wasn't too hard too eat because it was constructed well and the ingredients worked together. The fries have seasoning on them too, which is nice because it breaks up the monotony of eating a boatload of fries. Easily one of the better food trucks in Jax

    Gyro plate. Free dessert with check in. Also gave me a free tea!
    Kristy A.

    Tried this truck today at urban food court. Was a great choice! The gyro plate comes with rice, salad and Greek sauce. There was a fresh lime to squeeze and it really added to the dish. Rice had a nice flavor. Big helping of gyro meat was tender and properly spiced. The salad was fresh and crisp and well dressed. The sauce is on point and the serving is generous. I was offered a free iced blackberry lemonade while I dined at a small table. It was unusual in a very good way. I liked it. I may add a splash of the fresh lime. Received the free dessert with my Yelp check in. Baklava was delish and presented beautifully. Best 12.00 lunch in a long time. Had leftovers for afternoon snack.

    Boo!
    Kristin W.

    I think this is my new favorite food truck. My office cycles through trucks once a week, and I'm hoping they bring this one back. They set up a tent, high top tables, sitting tables and decorations... really went above and beyond. I ordered the chicken plate with salad. It was very flavorful. Yelp check ins come with a free baklava... drool worthy sugar rush. I had the mint lemonade and everyone was doing a double take in the office since it looked like a fancy after hours cocktail. Definitely going back!

    This truck is legitimately like a luxury experience. If you close your eyes you may even be able to imagine sitting next to a quaint little cafe in Greece - even if you're really just sitting in your cubicle at work. The exterior of the truck is SO clean and modern. They have beautiful decor and fun music to add to the theme. It really transforms the experience. The people on the truck are very friendly and are happy to make recommendations if needed. Loved working with them! For food - I tried a chicken/beef combo plate and everything was so delicious. The meats were juicy and fresh and the rice - oh my I inhaled that stuff! I had a mint lemonade on the side - so refreshing and complimented the cuisine so well. The real winner - the hummus and pita! I would like more pita to go with my pita please. Oh and an extra side of pita. And then some pita to go. PITAAAA. So good. Happy to report I tried Baklava for the first time and now that's one more tempting treat to add to the list of things I shouldn't have but will constantly crave. They're newer on the streets here but definitely deserving of a spot. Go check them out - you'll be so happy you did.

Yes, I'm talking about eating at the food truck called On the Fly. Calling it a food truck is in this number, I'm not sure what you would call. It is fabulous. Now let's start off with the negatives, parking is not as easy as it is for most lunch places, but it's really not that bad if you know what you're doing. There are plenty of slots on the street before you get to the restaurant, and if you called ahead and are just picking up then you can park in the reserve lot, where On the Fly is located. Now these spaces are reserved for lawyers going to the courthouse, which is nearby. So you can't park there here all day, but if you're just stopping in for lunch or if you've called ahead or just picking up takeout, then you should be fine. If you're in someone's spot, the first place to look is the restaurant, so just know you may have to move fairly quickly. For me, I like to call in advance, place my order, and then Park in one of the spaces. Then I pick up my food and go and I'm only there for five minutes. Now that that's all out of the way, let's talk about some of the best food that you will have in Jaxonville. On the Fly sauce - I think this is made by a team of leprechauns they keep in the back of the food truck. Because it comes out so fresh, so delicious, and if they sold it by the gallon, I would be numero Uno in buying it. Blue chips - a great starter chips and blue cheese, perfectly cooked, perfectly seasoned and delicious. Firecracker Sesame seared Tuna - another solid performer, it has some kick to it, although the tuna is always perfectly cooked. Sweet and spicy quesadilla - oh my God, this dishes as close to heaven as I think I will ever get to. The chicken is so tender and put into a tortilla with caramelized onions, banana peppers, and covered in On the Fly sauce. I don't know how but this works so well you cannot imagine. Service 5/5stars Food 10/5 stars Parking 3/5.

    Dorami Food Truck Experience -- 7:49 PM, Friday, April 10, 2026…read more I was genuinely excited to see Dorami listed in my neighborhood the day before and made an effort to stop by, even knowing I might be cutting it close to closing time. As I drove into the Bartram clubhouse parking lot, I was happy to see the truck still there. The service window was open, and there were no visible signs indicating that you were closed. I walked up, took a moment to look over the menu, and was ready to place a fairly large order. Unfortunately, before I could say a word, I was abruptly waved away by a staff member who told me they were closed--in a tone that came across as dismissive and unwelcoming. I completely understand that closing time is closing time, and there may have been circumstances I wasn't aware of. However, customer service doesn't end the moment service stops. A brief, courteous explanation or even a simple apology would have made a big difference in how that interaction felt. I came ready and excited to support your business, but instead left without food and with a very negative impression. As a military veteran who has spent time in Okinawa, I have a deep appreciation for food that brings back meaningful memories, and I make a point to support businesses that offer that connection. I hope this feedback is taken constructively. Great food is only part of the experience--how customers are treated, even in brief interactions, leaves a lasting impression. Thank you for your time.

I ended up ordering the coconut shrimp, which the person who took my order said was one of their specialties and I added on the coconut hush puppies. Given that they had a huge sign saying that their cheese balls were amazing, I grabbed an order the mozzarella ones as well. I must admit that I was a little confused as to why a seafood place was selling cheese balls...but, oh well, I love fried cheese. I was told that since I hadn't placed my order online ahead of time, as I didn't know that was an option, my order would take 52 minutes. I was given a time to return to the truck. Nearly an hour wait is a long time for truck food. I tend to think of food trucks as a great go-to for a quick meal. I mean, even an hour wait in a restaurant for food is a ridiculously long time. Nevertheless, I agreed and paid. My order was ready right on time! I was able to skip the line when I arrived back there and received their text and everything was correct when I checked the boxes before leaving. Nearly everything was also overly fried including the french fries which were dark in color, hard, and difficult to eat. The shrimp were large and nicely breaded and they had a good flavor to them. But the coconut hush puppies were burnt in places and had no appreciable seasoning or flavor aside from coconut pieces. I guess I was expecting the usual spices in a hush puppy with the addition of coconut. And the cheese "balls" were melted discs of breading around some of the cheese. They were still edible but not what was advertised. I remember trying a brie ball from Nomi's Cheese Bar at Gastrofest years ago and what I got was much more successful back then (see pic). It looks like these companies have merged or perhaps they are the same folks?!?! The issues on the night that I went may have been because of the crowd or because their oil temperature was too high. I wish I had tried something that didn't require a fryer to be able to better asses their flavors. This truck seems to have potential but I just didn't have a great experience, particularly given the relatively high costs of the food.

I love coconut, and these puppies packed a huge amount! They were big in size so I only ate one with dinner. Plus the dipping sauce was a perfect pairing with the coconut. I shared the order of four with my niece. The haddock exceeded my expectations! The piece of fish was huge so I split it into two meals.
