So staff were busy non stop. However they did not offer water, orders took a while to be take. Food took a while to come out. The large private function outside definitely influenced service inside. Especially when the outdoor function had to dash inside with the rain downpour. establishment: nice location in north Edmonton. Great parking. Great music. food: incredible!

So I love to support local businesses, and so my friend and I went here for lunch…read more I used to really love this place, but somehow it missed the mark on this day. First of all the ambiance isn't as bright and cheery and it was cold to eat inside. I get it that most people come here to take out, but your restaurant should be comfortable to sit and eat in. Service was indifferent. They didn't really act happy that we were coming in. Place has the usual Jamaican food - curries, jerk meat, rice and peas etc. I ordered the curried goat. So the flavaour of the curry was good but they were really skimpy on the meat and they put on too much peas and rice which was dry. My friend had the jerk chicken but she left most of her rice as well. Prices were high for the amount of meat you have. I will have to try another Jamaican restaurant in the area to compare. I don't think I will be coming back here.

The space has transformed under the new ownership, with a warm, inviting atmosphere and a Bob Marley spirit that gives the room a relaxed, soulful energy. My photos don't capture how vibrant and welcoming it truly feels. I ordered the snapper fish meal and it was excellent -- fresh, flavourful, and clearly made with care. Today happened to be their last day before the owner takes a well deserved break, and they'll reopen on January 13. When he returns, the dine in area is fully set up with new furniture, ready for people to sit down and enjoy the food in this beautiful space. Saffron is a gem in the Stadium neighbourhood -- authentic, community minded, and full of heart. I'm grateful I finally stepped inside, and I'm already looking forward to returning when they reopen.

The spice level is just enough that it gives you a kick but not enough that it's unpalatable because it's too hot. The curry chicken has lots of flavour, and paired with a side of beef patty ($4) was just the right amount of food to fill me up for the rest of the afternoon. Next time I come I'm gonna try the jerk chicken, definitely a spot to hit up if you're visiting this farmers market.

Unfortunately this place is only open Friday through Sunday as a part of Bountiful Farmers' Market…read more But don't underestimate the flavours that this restaurant carries. Owner (a couple) has a stand at Old Strathcona Famers' Market that is selling Caribbean hot sauce style but they opened up a Caribbean food stand in addition to their hot sauce stand. So far I have tried 2 different dishes; Ackee & Saltfish and Oxtail Stew. Both dishes were really good. It was my first time to try Ackee. Quite interesting fruit but it was good. Ackee is a fruit of the Sapindaceae soapberry family, as are the lychee and the longan. Since I grew up with saltfish, it was lovely to have it again after so long I didn't have it. The oxtail was so flavourful and tender. The rice that company the oxtail was really yummy. With a beautiful set-up of food court of Bountiful Farmers' Market, I think this little booth give a nice vibe to its market.

We chatted for a while and it was nice to just chat with someone after the pandemic. I'll be recommending this place to others and will be back. :) All the vegetarian patties were out though so we might try to swing by again to try some.

Even at full price (which I think was 16 bucks) is still great value. The menu is fairly standard for a Jamaican restaurant - jerk chicken, pulled pork, some salads, and a fish meal. However it is done properly. My chicken was tender and juicy, and full of flavour. They did not skimp on the sauce. It came with rice and beans which were hearty and cooked properly and a crunchy coleslaw. On Saturdays they have oxtail which i would like to try. They also have hot sauce for sale and jerk sauce which I took both of them home with me. Service was great. Person behind the counter was super friendly. Pretty minimalist in atmosphere, but clean and welcoming. I will come here again.

Sure there were more takeout orders than eat in, but you could really feel the Jamaican island vibes when visiting here to eat. I'll definitely return again sometime to try more of the menu.

Turns out Bete Africa wasn't far away, and I love Ethiopian food, so easy choice. Late lunch time on a Thursday was super quiet, I was the only one in the restaurant till nearly the end of my meal, but they were open and super friendly. I ordered the shiro wot with beef, which came with some of the best injera I have ever had. Thick and spongy and unbelievably fresh - wow. I complimented it and was told they make it fresh on site, which I can definitely believe. The shiro wot was delicious too, I was expecting it to be a bit spicier but I didn't actually state a preference and they may have just assumed I would prefer it mild. It was very tasty though and served sizzling hot in a clay pot. I think this is the fourth Ethiopian restaurant I've tried in Edmonton and definitely my favorite so far (the others being Blue Nile, Walia, Langano Skies). All this and a fruit drink came to $20, and there were lots of left overs for lunch the next day. I will be back!
