Saffron Grill

Very delicious! I've been getting the steak shawarma. Nice and friendly family own. Support local business.

Food: Steak Gyro with FriesI had the order to go, which apparently surmised the gyro being double-wrapped with aluminum foil. It was a good choice, as the wrap stayed hot by the time I took it home. The gyro itself had the money's worth of meat. However, personally, there were too many pickles, too few tomatoes, and too little lettuce. The sauce was a little light for the amount of meat given, and it was reminiscent of Thousand Islands dressing, only thinner. Overall, it is a fairly good wrap, though I recommend a tall glass of water or juice if you are hypertensive or have a low-sodium diet.Fries are average. They look to be shipped in frozen, and are akin to McDonald's fries except not as crispy and dressed with table salt, not sea salt. They seem to be served with the same sauce as put in the gyro.Service:An older woman was at the register. I'm not too sure of her general attitude, but my interaction was pleasant enough. I was fairly direct in what I wanted, and "please" and "thank you" can go a long way. The interaction between me, her, and the owner ended with "thank you"s and "have a good day"s, so not bad. I had visited the restaurant a few days prior and interacted with the owner and an employee, both were friendly and receptive, and the owner had a pleasant demeanor. Both were kind even when I decided to leave without purchasing anything.Ambiance:This place is a hole in the wall. There's plenty of seating for how small the place is. The menu consists of posters attached to the wall, drinks are put on the counter, the register face was wood and whiteboard. Personally, it was comforting as it was reminiscent of small restaurants in India. Would I take a friend or family here? Yeah. A romantic date? No.

This place is suck it says Monday through Friday from 11 AM to 8 PM but the store still close what kind of business they're running I won't waste my time coming here and spend my money here

Quick and delicious. They have a great $10 plate that has rice, meat, veggies, and dressing. You can barely find any $10 meals anymore these days. Please help support local small business!

Gyros are salty and stinky. Service was mediocre. The ambiance is uninviting and drab. The food is expensive as hell. Don't waste your money here. Not worth it.

Too salty and I am extremely thirsty after having their steak gyro. The bread is not soft enough and it was in room temperature, I thought it supposed to be warm before serving. The steak and their sauce in the gyro wrap were really bad, so salty, i felt like I could have to wash my kidneys after the meal. My friend ordered the combo, it's nothing special except they gave you two types of meats. The rice in the combo is white rice. Totally not worth it.By the way, the lady staff was not friendly too.

I've been coming here for a few years now. First- The owner and his wife are very nice. Second, I usually order the chicken plate special, which used to be $8 or so but now is closer to $10-12 if I remember correctly. The portions are great, usually the takeout box is bulking from the amount of rice inside haha. (I also frequent the Tastea right next door, so it's nice to have both a food and drink option in one spot in Newark!) Will have to update with a picture the next time I order...

I got 2 steak wraps and they were absolutely amazing. I will definitely come back for more whenever I'm nearby in the area.

I have yet to try the gyros here because it seems to be their special but I'm such a sucker for food chains that I always find myself just ordering from Nick the Greek. LOL.I've actually ordered their ground beef kabob plate twice now and people aren't lying... they serve it in BIG portions. I've been trying to find a place that offered ground chicken kabobs for some time now but I can't seem to find a place that had it so I settled for the ground beef. It's definitely worth it because the ground beef kabob is juicy and it's served with a ton of rice. I would highly recommend getting an additional kabob or two to pair with the rice.. and for this one plate to be shared! You get so much food for a fair price and the food is decent enough but wish the sauces were better. I believe they provide a garlic mayo type of sauce and what tastes like a mayo-ketchup-relish sauce (not my fave). I guess I was looking for more of a cilantro chutney but wasn't sure if that was a thing you can order on the side.

Love the food here, perfect stop close to the Newpark mall and 24 hour fitness. This is a hole in the wall place for Mediterranean food. Their menu is simple but all very tasty! The portion is hugh and comes with rice, salad and pita bread. I chose to have chicken plate and comes with half rice and half fries on the side with grill chicken, Service is great and fast.
