" The Zaferan Café has a lovely atmosphere, and the Persian decorations create a welcoming vibe. The food is delightful, with large portions that are definitely sharable. I enjoyed the ghormeh sabzi, which was one of the best I have ever had. The rice was fluffy and not overly oily. The service was friendly, but we did notice a delay in our food arriving, which was a little disappointing. Other than that, a fantastic dining experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had heard great things about Zaferan Café, and I was excited to try it. The food was delicious and full of flavor, reminiscent of the meals I had in Iran. However, the service left something to be desired, as our server seemed overwhelmed. They worked hard but were juggling too many tables. I will definitely return for the food but hope for smoother service next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't say enough good things about Zaferan Café! Their stews are so flavorful, and the rice is the best I've had anywhere. They have a wonderful selection of traditional Persian dishes, and everything I tried was simply outstanding. The owners are kind and genuinely care about your experience. A must-try in Salt Lake! " (*Curated Review*)

" The Zaferan Café is a charming spot that serves delightful Persian food. The moussaka was fantastic, and the staff were warm and welcoming. The only drawback was that it felt a bit slow during peak hours, but it’s understandable since they are busy making every dish fresh. A definite must-try when in Salt Lake! " (*Curated Review*)

" Zaferan Café is outstanding! The beef kebabs are smoky and aromatic, and the rice is fluffy and fragrant. I felt like I was transported back to Iran with each bite. The staff was attentive and made me feel like a valued guest. No detail was overlooked, truly a memorable experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing about Zaferan for a while, I finally decided to grab dinner. The food was good, especially their marinated chicken kabob, but my experience was slightly marred by a slow service. Still, the atmosphere was nice, and I appreciate the authenticity in their recipes. " (*Curated Review*)

" Visiting Zaferan Café was a delightful surprise. The flavors of each dish were rich and truly authentic to Persian cuisine. I especially enjoyed the grilled vegetables alongside my kebabs. The atmosphere was vibrant yet relaxing, perfect for dining with friends. I would say their customer service could use improvement, but the food makes it worthwhile. " (*Curated Review*)
