Very good overall. Had the steak dish(can't remember name!)portion was a little small, but it was delicious. Good mocktails! read more

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

I had the baked salmon with pomegranate with rice and salad it was nice and light and the portion was enough for two days of carb and protein. The salad I def ate at the restaurant. They are getting a bigger grill because they've gone a bit viral, I was lucky not to have ordered their grilled food. While I was there I met a group of Latin airline workers that apparently frequent the spot when they're here from Florida and they love their grilled meats so can't wait to try that next time! I also drank the hibiscus lemonade. Happy. Service was honest and kind. Family and friends run. Ambiance is clean and cutesy. read more

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

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

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

My husband found this restaurant through a viral TikTok and we decided to pop in for a Friday lunch. Great ambiance and food. No exaggeration this was one of my favorite meals I've had in a long time! Just have patience with the staff as you can tell they're trying their best to keep up with the traffic- the wait is worth it!! We had the chicken kebab platter, koobideh skewer, Persian cucumber yogurt dip and Persian steak frites. 10/10! Will 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

i was in NJ recently visiting a friend, and there is a video of this place we had to check out whent he hype died down.... we had to wait 30 minutes but we didnt care... the smiles from the patrons told us it was good, the people exiting told us what to order.... so, this place is all that. if you are near this place soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo worth it... 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

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

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

Cozy place with good food at a reasonable price. Excellent service. Feel like home cooked meal, at the same time not a restaurant grade barg; but you feel at home. Kobideh and kashkeh bodemjan were great, not a fan of barg. 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

This is a lovely restaurant run by a lovely family. The food is excellent and the service is wonderful; professional and friendly. Everything ordered is absolutely delicious.

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 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
