"Saffron Kebob in Virginia presents a culinary experience that, while satisfactory, strays from its advertised Iranian roots. The restaurant's ambiance and service create a welcoming atmosphere, and the dishes are competently prepared. However, discerning palates will notice a significant departure from authentic Iranian flavors.The spices and cooking techniques employed lean more towards Indian or Pakistani cuisine, creating a disconnect between expectation and reality. This misalignment is particularly evident in the menu, which labels dishes as Iranian but fails to deliver the unique, subtle spice blends characteristic of traditional Iranian fare. While the food is enjoyable, it's important for potential diners seeking genuine Iranian cuisine to be aware of this discrepancy.I was craving for Iranian food and searched for a restaurant close to the airport and Saffron showed up. Please either fix your menu or your food to align with the menu."
