I love this place, i always go there with my family for a nice meal. The food is super delicious and fresh and the staff are extremely nice. Their burgers is great and the other rice and chicken or lamb options.

We loved the food here. Fresh vegetables and healthy dishes seasoned just right. We would definitely come back next time in the area. There are several dishes I still want to try, but portions are generous and I couldn't try them all. Service was very friendly, very helpful. Delightful experience.

Zaffron Kitchen in Latham was a clear example of quaint, clean polished looking place.
Although we ordered our food to go, it’s clear to see in the pictures that the place would be a nice spot for a little daytime date, or a cute more romantic night one.
Food was ON POINT, temperature and flavor wise. Definitely a place to come back.

Great experience, the lamb chops were amazing. And getting the bowls allows you to get toppings upon toppings. The dessert as well was amazing. Recommend for anyone wanting to try something new

Yesterday I enjoyed the lamb kebab bowl (with baba ganoush) for the second time this week. It is…Delicious. I ordered the lamb rare - I could cut the generous pieces with a spoon. My friend was there for the first time and liked his lamb dish so much he decided on the spot to bring his wife to try it tonight.
Plus, the staff is very friendly and efficient, and the meals take just enough time to heighten the anticipation (it smells glorious there) and also to let you know they don‘t rush things or cut corners.
I am already looking forward to going again.

The place is waaaaay better than you would think! Don't be fooled by its relatively humble location and atmosphere. The staff is wonderful. The food is fresh and excellent and the portions are very generous. I've had kebab bowls with all the fixin's my heart desired both times I've been here, and they've been better than meals I've had at sit-down restaurants that cost 3 times as much! 🙂

Restaurant is clean, with booth and table seating. Staff is friendly and attentive. The food was fresh and lived up to the reviews. We got the falafel, the grape leaves and a lamb kabob rice platter with brown rice (which was the most flavorful and softest brown rice I've ever had). We ate too fast to take pictures. Everything was seasoned so well. Everything tastes fresh and flavorful. We will be back to try the Kabob bowls next!

Absolutely phenomenal meal! 🙌 I got the Aushak, falafel, and a lamb kebab bowl every bite was bursting with flavor 🔥 The Aushak was creamy and perfectly spiced, the falafel was crispy and fresh, and the lamb kebab bowl had the perfect balance of sauce, rice, and salad 🥗🐑
