5.0Timmy

Best Middle Eastern Restaurant in the whole of Scotland. Bringing Authentic Iranian Cuisine. Atmosphere is Amazing! With a historic theme. The menu is a variety of everything. The only downside is the atmosphere with almost everyone drinking alcohol. But everything was almost perfect. Amazing Banging Food!! (Halal)

Had a fantastic dinner at Saffron by Paradise tonight! The Persian flavors shone through in the delicious Joojeh Kebab and fragrant Saffron Rice. The staff were super nice, offering great recommendations and warm service. Cozy vibe, great value, and a meal to remember. Highly recommend!

The restaurant was good overall, with excellent service. However, the taste of the food didn’t feel truly authentic to traditional Iranian cuisine.
