Food is delicious, everything is so flavorful and tasty!!! We got the filet mignon and a salad of the day! For drinks we tried the hibiscus tea and one drink that I forgot the name ... ambience is cozy and welcoming, the server was attentive and good on recommendations. Just the waiting time is a little longer, so if you go, just relax and enjoy. read more

Long overdue review!!! This place is amazing! Owners are super nice, and seriously great service makes you feel like a regular on the first visit. Everything tastes so fresh. Chicken and ground beef ebabs hit the spot, the saffron rice is on point, and the veggies were fresh. Will definitely be back." read more

Food is excellent !! 10/10 would recommend. Everything is truly authentic and tastes like home

Epitome of hospitality. I'll start off with how kind & friendly the owners are at Zaffron Bloom. Conversational, personable, and they made a fantastic first impression on friends we brought who were new to Persian food. We were just visiting, but I seriously hope the locals know how lucky they are to have this spot nearby. The standout for me was the sour cherry ice cream (so good and ig friendly) and their drinks were top notch-- from the mint/cucumber and cherry spritz to the doogh (which I've never been a fan of, but theirs won me over). The eggplant dip was a hit, and the filet mignon was a crowd-pleaser at our table. They also have "I heart Kabobs" t-shirts -- perfect as a souvenir or a gift for your favorite Persian foodie. Pricing is ranges $50-70 per person with apps, drinks, dinner, dessert and tea. They have outdoor seating. Street parking is easy. Highly recommend!! read more

overall great service . Chill owner and staff. Wish they have this in nyc. Worth the time

Zaffron Bloom in Hasbrouck Heights, NJ. I found the ultimate hidden gem! It's very hard to find an authentic Persian restaurant in NJ has to be on your list-it is a family owned restaurant, everything is made with the freshest ingredients to serve Modern Persian Cuisine with a Middle-Terranean twist! They are also BYOB and family owned!

It was my first time trying Persian food, so I didn't know what to expect! The moment I took my first bite of the Kebab "Barg" ... my tongue started to dance then my shoulders! The same thing happened for the Kebab Koobideh. Did I mention the Zaffron Rice?! My goodness the flavors were bold, fragrant, and completely unforgettable! THAT dinner so good, I went on a little food adventure a few days after across Manhattan, trying a few different Persian spots just to see if anything could compare. While some were decent, none of them matched what I had at Zaffron. It made me realize that if I want the REAL DEAL, I have to make the trip to Jersey. My friend and I loved it so much, we made it our little tradition to visit once every season! Zaffron = Welcoming atmosphere! Impeccable Service! A menu that keeps pulling me back! If you've never tried or want to taste the best Persian cuisine, this is the place to start! read more

I actually happened to find this place because another restaurant was closed that I wanted to try on a Friday night. I'm very happy I got to try Zafron Bloom. In one word - flavor. Everything we had so much delicious fresh seasonings and packed with a punch. My boyfriend and I started with some fun drinks we've never tried. The sour Cherry drink was great, he tried the Persian lemonade and loved it too. We started with the dip trio and tried the hummus, lebne and an eggplant dip and they were all fabulous. We are the whole bowl of pita trying them all. For dinner I got the chicken kebab wrap and was a little worried it would be a plain and boring option but it was delicious. It came with a tzaziki dipping sauce but I barely needed it, the sauce on the wrap was perfect on its own. My boyfriend got kebabs and came with the famous saffron rice. The chicken was cooked to perfection. I am always a little weary to get chicken at any Mediterranean place, it's always either undercooked or overcooked, but this was truly perfection. Highly recommend trying a chicken skewer. With no room left for dessert there, we got some baklava to go and tried it the next day. Truly probably the best baklava I've ever had. I'll definitely be back to try out more menu items and of course get more baklava. Street parking is easy. The interior of the restaurant is small but it wasn't incredibly packed when we went on a Friday night which I'm sure will change as they get busier and more well-known. They were also very busy with takeout orders but everything flowed smoothly. It's definitely a family running this restaurant and you can tell. They are so nice and kind, they also kept bringing us samples of their crunchy rice - which was delicious. I'll be back! read more

Food was solid! I ordered the koobideh kabob and it was delicious! The saffron rice was lacking in a bit of flavor in my opinion. The service was great, it's a very cozy family restaurant. I will definitely be back! read more

Every bite - a memory! You rarely concentrate this much on food while eating it, so good was it. There's so much to observe and relish, so much flavor and so many novel and successful taste combinations if you're not native to Iranian cuisine! Four of us (seasoned eaters!) ordered different dishes. Each loved their own AND tasted their neighbors' and loved those too! And the refreshing cold drinks! Outstanding service (service? in reality: new friendship!). Located on a strip of downtown Hasbrouck Heights where an interesting enclave of superb foreign cuisine is developing. Lovely space. And we (knowing little about Iranian music) enjoyed the range of folk through more modern melodic pop that was played unobtrusively, in fact very enjoyably, in the background. Our outing to Zaffron Bloom was a perfect gathering! read more

Amazing persian food. Kabob was delicious. Ghormeh sabzi and tahdig was our fav Would def go back!! read more

I dream about going back. Entire dining experience was so perfect. Thing I would not skip out on: variety of saffron rice (we ordered several and they plate it for you) - sooo delicious. The balance of flavors with the saffron, sweet barberries and basmati is perfection. Also enjoyed the combination platter, salmon and crispy rice. Lamb, chicken and beef kebabs all incredibly flavorful and cooked to perfection. We were obsessed with their refreshments. Incredible mint lemonades with chia, pomegranate and many more to choose from. What made the experience even better is that it's a family owned business which gave patrons an energy that matched the cuisine. They were so sweet to my toddler and made us feel at home. We will be back many times and intend to eat everything on the menu in the next few months. Thank you all for a wonderful experience. read more

Next time I'll definitely post a pic of the food. I came a couple of times with my husband to Zaffron. It is a family restaurant, everything is fresh and tasty. Today I tried the lunch special, the chicken wrap with salad. Their chicken was tender and comes with the delicious lemony yogurt sauce. I'd definitely come again with my husband. Loving this place! It worth the try! read more

You don't find a lot of persian restaurants in this area, so it was a pleasant surprise that this restaurant opened up, and I was happy to try it out. Family owned and ran, so you know the food is going to be good, and it was! Service was outstanding, and welcoming. Cute small restaurant made you feel at home. Everything we ordered was delicious. The gheymi was very close to my own mother's cooking, so that was definitely a win. If you like eggplant, definitely try the warm eggplant dip, and the hummus was delicious, too. The kabobs were perfectly cooked and seasoned. Even the rice on its own was spot on, I could eat it on its own and be happy. My friend got the Persian ice cream, I'm not a fan of those water, so I skipped that, but she seemed to enjoy it. And the cardamom carrot cake was a nice final touch, a bit sweet for me but next time I'll order it with Persian hot tea. Definitely will return to try other items as they grow and expand. read more

We drove an hour to try this place and it did not disappoint! If you are looking for authentic Persian food, Zaffron Bloom is it. We got the Tahdig, Shiraz salad, Persian style dolmeh (grape leaves), chicken kebab (with grilled vegetables), chicken soltani (chicken kebab, beef/lamb kebab, Zaffron rice), and green and black tea with rose petals. Everything was delicious and perfectly cooked and seasoned. The grape leaves were some of the best I've EVER had! This is a family run restaurant that just opened a couple months ago. Upon walking in you'll be met with warm welcoming vibes. The daughter was our server and the mother and father were cooking in the back. Service was excellent. The mother recommended several dishes when we arrived and presented some of our dishes throughout the evening. (She also offered us a free sample of a soup she just made.) The father also checked on us to ask us how our main course was. We were treated like family. Great people, great food, great atmosphere. I will definitely be returning if I'm ever in the area again! read more

It's a hole in a wall, family owned/run restaurant. A very simple decor, nothing to brag about. However, the food was great. We have been there a few times now. There had been no complaints but the complements. I highly recommend this restaurant to everyone I meet. read more

I'm so happy this place opened up in my town! I brought my parents (who aren't the most adventurous eaters) while they were in town for their first Persian food experience. We had the summer salad, sigara borek, kebab bakhatiari, Persian steak frites, and Lamb Chops. Everything was awesome! But the best part is the friendly staff. The parents said it was one the best meals they'd ever eaten, and now every time they talk about visiting, they mention returning to Zaffron Bloom. read more

I don't write many reviews but absolutely felt the need to do so about this gem of a place. First and foremost, the staff is super friendly and makes you feel at home right away. The ambiance is excellent and the food is some of the best I've ever had!!

I recently had lunch at Zaffron Bloom, and I'm here to tell you that all the 5 star reviews are true! It was absolutely some of the best food I've eaten in a long time. The restaurant is run by a family, and they were all there that day, and extremely friendly. We had chicken kebabs, which were large and juicy pieces of chicken seasoned with safron. They were so good, we got a couple orders to take with us. I made a comment to the lady who runs the place and does a lot of the cooking (wish I could remember her name), that I was looking at ordering some olives, but they are often too salty. She lit up and told me that she soaks her olives which removes a lot of the salt, and then serves them seasoned with crushed nuts and pomegranate juice. Based on her recommendation, I got them, and I kid you not, they were the best olives I've ever eaten. Not salty, and kind of sweet and sour. Amazing! I wish I could buy a jarful. I also had the Kale salad and it was also fantastic, and so large, it was a meal in itself. The balsamic dressing was delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant! read more

I'm from NYC and was in the area craving Mediterranean food. After a quick search Zaffron Bloom popped up so I decided to try due to its strong reviews. I ordered the lamb chops w/ zaffron rice, side salad, the baklava for desert and hibiscus iced tea. Absolutely amazing. Everything tasted fresh, and well seasoned. The flavors were amazing .. especially the lamb chops. The service was awesome. The waitress was polite and gave amazing recommendations. It's a cute and quite inviting spot. The background music gives it a nice little vibe. This place is a must try !! read more

We came here on a whim and we were not disappointed. Zaffron Bloom packs an authentic and flavorful punch, if you love kebabs then THIS is the place you want to go (screw the street meat you find in the city!). The food was absolutely incredible, so delicately seasoned and perfectly cooked. We were treated like family here and the vibes were warm and welcoming. This place seems pretty new- and don't let the petite size of the property fool you. I would recommend the Dolmeh and the Chicken Kebab with rice. The rice is incredibly soft and the chicken was juicy and tender. Even the veggies were amazing. Were definitely planning on coming back! read more

My family and I went to Zaffron Bloom for lunch today and had a fantastic meal! The service was terrific and our waitress was incredibly helpful and informative when we needed to order. If you are looking for an authentic Persian meal with well-selected, high quality ingredients, this is your spot! The chicken, lamb and beef kebabs were tender and flavorful, as was the saffron rice. My wife had the salad with a chicken kebab on the side and throughly enjoyed it as well. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone in the local area. read more

This is a family run business that is super friendly and welcoming to customers. I wanted to support them and did enjoy several of my weekly take-out lunch orders. However, they really lack consistency. Even though I always waited for my order, some days the food was hot and fresh and other times the food was lukewarm (or cold) and stale. Then, they weren't open at the time stated! If you serve lunch and say you open at 11:30am, the restaurant should not be dark and closed at 12pm. Maybe they should just open for dinner. I hope they can improve. Sad to say, I won't be back. read more

We do love Persian food and we do know our places in Bergen county, this new spot is great, they opened very recently but all my son wants now is "salmon and rice" which is really nicely done in this restaurant. It's a small business but I wish them a great future as their attention to costumers and preferences are beyond expectations. Falafel is one of the best I tried yet. read more

We received horrible service, slowness, and confusion regarding the orders. The server was confused and not paying attention to the details. When we complained, we were just told oh, sorry. Our food was cold, and some chicken and beef pieces were raw inside. I will not recommend this restaurant at all. I'm not sure why they get all 5-star reviews with this kind of food and service is a big question mark. read more

DYING to return and try the salmon dish or one of the yummy stews! My cousin LOVES the kebab "barg" (marinated strips of beef), and I have to agree. Everyone I bring to the restaurant loves the uniquely made rice with zaffron and barberry - never tasted that combo of flavors that just screams mmmmm mmmmm good. The homemade Persian zaffron ice cream Is reeeeeally good I'm addicted to their freshly made Persian mint limonada drink! You must try it. And dis I mention they play THE best mellow yet upbeat middle eastern "house" music - go Anna, go Anna! Where did she find that music ?!?!? I'm soooo overdue read more
