  A nice and quiet Indian place in the heart of Pearl Rotana.Lovely buffet laid with the perfect amount of salads, starters, main courses and ofcourse DESSERTS!!!Their meat is tender and juicy, salads are fresh and crisp, desserts are so many you can’t decide which one to taste and which one to leave!Super friendly staff, has a lovely ambience. Is a must visit place!

  Had booked Iftar evening with Saffron for our wedding anniversary. The Restaurant was really quite and had nice ambience. I would like to Thank the reservation guys who took my last minute request to accommodate us. The spread for Iftar buffet was Okay (Felt it could have been better – couldn’t take pictures of food), really liked desserts and Arabic sweets on the platter. I could rate this Restaurant a 3.5 on 5 for Taste, Quality and Price.. 4 on 5 on Service and Friendliness of the staff. Hopefully next time when I visit – it would be better.

  Follow me on my IG @littlecheesybutstillgrateWent for a seafood night last thursday at Saffron located inside of Pearl Rotana in Abu Dhabi. Was surprised to find only myself a couple of other people at the buffet. There was a good spread of seafood, everything looked every appealing and the ambience was lovely. I did find the food very bland and almost saltless, felt as thoigh there was no seasoning on anything. The live cooking station was a good experience. I thoroughly enjoyedthe tempura and fried fish from there. The sushi wasn’t exceptional. The desserts were fantasticI would rate my experience a 3/5 at @pearlrotana

  This review for the recent Iftar experience at Saffron, we reached 5 mins late to the iftar buffet, however the restaurant was packed with families and kids, but felt that restaurant wasnt able to manage the food refills, where many dishes got empty I’d have asked the waiter if they will refill! The ouzi meat disappeared almost the first 10 mins! and when it was refilled it was just a very small portion. 2 stars are missing due to: management of buffet and price to the offer. I should metion that staff were smiling and very friendly.

  Been here for Christmas buffet and it quite a lavish experience. The buffet spread was extravagant and presentation wise was top notch. Starters and salads were amazing, loved their varieties of meat salads especially their Asian salad.Mains too had lots of varieties like beef steak, salmon, turkey, veg biriyani and so on, all were quite delicious. For desserts again there were plenty of delicious options, toothsome Christmas cakes,macaroons, cupcakes and the list goes on, which was pleasing to the eyes as well as our palate, relished all of it. Ambiance is lovely and service praise worthy, loved the overall experience and looking forward another visit here.
