How locals rank it
From the local food press
- Middle Eastern
Saffron's new Northeast Minneapolis kitchen draws on Sameh Wadi's Palestinian family recipes and broader Arab cooking methods. The brick oven turns out pitas for the table, while the grill gives vegetables and seafood a charred edge. Try the whole grilled branzini or the burnt-bread fattoush described from opening night, and make the bread part of the meal rather than an afterthought.

- Mediterranean
Saffron has returned to Northeast Minneapolis with Palestinian and eastern Mediterranean cooking from brothers Sameh and Saed Wadi. The open-fire kitchen gives vegetables and breads a central role alongside larger plates. A whole grilled branzini with herbs, lemon, olive oil, and fried grape leaves shows how the menu joins family recipes with the new room's oven and grill. Order across the table to explore the mezze and fire-cooked dishes.
