Tried 904 Saffron at FSCJ and was impressed by the variety on their menu. I decided on the lamb gyro wrap with fries. After a short wait, my food was delivered, and I noticed a small container of red sauce included with the meal. I wasn't sure what it was at first, so I tried it with my fries. I originally thought it was curry, but it had more of a thin, runny consistency with a spicy kick. It worked okay with the fries, but I chose not to put it on the gyro. Unfortunately, the fries were the biggest disappointment. They were extremely salty and mostly made up of the small broken pieces you usually find at the bottom of the bag. The gyro itself was good, especially after adding some white sauce my friend received with her order. We ordered the exact same meal, so I was surprised that she received three sauces while I only received one. Overall, my first experience with 904 Saffron was lacking. Between the overly salty fries and the inconsistency with the orders, I expected a little more for a meal that cost over $15.e read more

904 Saffron - Lamb gyro meal - Mediterranean Near Me

This food truck came to my work and I enjoyed my euro wrap. I guess I haven't read the menu carefully as I was expecting tzatziki sauce, but it was more of some sort of green sauce that was very good, but it was drenched in it. I was hoping for a bit more cucumber or tomato as pictured but overall the flavor was good and the euro meat was great. I liked the fries too, and the dipping sauce was nice. Food was very quick. read more

Absolutely delicious dinner from here tonight. I love gyros and can't find any that are close to home so I requested my neighborhood get the 904 trucks to come back. This one was soooo good. Most gyros come with tzatziki sauce on them and while I love that, this one had a "special sauce". I ordered the medium and I'm so thankful I did. It was spicy! Absolutely delicious meal that I hope will come back soon. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because they are a little heavy handed with the salt on the fries. The fries were cold, but I ordered on line and picked up the order so I won't fault them for that, but the salt was too much. You can add but can't take away. If you happen upon this food truck, definitely give them a try. read more

I've been seeing 904 Saffron everywhere lately so I have to try it, right? Ok, now I'm kicking myself for going so long without this delicious food in my life!! I walked over to the food truck, which was the longest part of my experience with them. The nice man at the counter informed me that I could order on the new digital screens, but asked what I was getting so he could start my order. Incredibly great service! I put in my order and paid right from the menu boards! For the best part is, I put in my phone number and received a text when my food was ready, so I didn't have to listen around for my name. A few minutes later, my food is ready and I'm on my way! It was still piping hot when I sat down to eat five minutes later. Fries were crispy, sauce was tangy and the shawarma was balanced. 15/10!! Overall, make sure you check the out, you won't be disappointed! And if you are disappointed by their food...it might just be you... read more

Saffron = Zac Efron??? Am I the only person to think that this could possibly owned by him? Anyhoo...moving on... The Saffron Mediterranean Kitchen food truck came by into my neighborhood, so we had to try it. Cool looking truck. The person that took our order even had an accent which made me feel as if I was in another country...until I saw my neighbor in his pajamas placing an order. #Ewww Love the simple menu. We ordered the following: * Shawarma Plate (5/5): I love Shawarmas and this was one of THE BEST Shawarmas; enough for me to say I'd placed it on my Top 3 Shawarmas I've had. Generous amount of toppings and flavorful meats. Their signature sauce was different but complimented the sandwich very well. It's a messy eat but I would order this again and again. * Chicken & Lamb Plate (5/5): I opted to get half & half meats just to get the good taste and I was not disappointed. Delicious. * Baklava (free when you check-in on Yelp) 5/5: Pretty good, very sweet, but when is a Baklava never sweet? * Rice Pudding (free when you check-in on Yelp) 3/5: It was just okay. All in all, great food here. I cannot wait for this truck to come back to my HOOD. #NeighborHOODTruckDay read more

Heeeeey another food truck in my area! So it wash lunchtime and to break the cycle of ordering from my new favorite healthy food restaurant I looked up online to see if any trucks were around. I saw this one and I hadn't been to them yet so why not? I loved that I could hear mediterranean music when I pulled up. That's a huge mood-setter. The person at the window taking orders was super-friendly. I told him that I'd like the lamb wrap to which he replied, "Oh that's a good one." He asked about a drink and I wasn't going to order one at first but the Mint Lemonade sounded good so I got that to. I also like that they had their Square device hanging out of the window for easy card access. Their Point of Sale also produced a numbered ticket that was easy to hang on to. I had my food and drink in no time and the person again suggested using sriracha sauce on the fries because it's good. Again...I wasn't going to but I did anyway. I sneaked back in to the office ninja-style so that no one would question where'd I gone to get lunch and be questioned, "Aww you went to a food truck? Why didn't you tell me". I had no time for that this day. Let me tell you...that wrap was fire! The lamb was not shaved like a shawarma but cut meatball style and I really enjoyed that. I could taste the flavors from the lamb better in this preparation. And the fries? Alone they would've been delicious but with the sriracha they were more excellent. I'm glad I got the opportunity to try this truck. I'd definitely come back to it if they're in the neighborhood. read more

UPDATE: The Team at Saffron reached out to me about the fries and how they could make things right and after that I had to update this review to 5 stars! That's amazing customer service you don't always see now a days. You can't go wrong with Saffron especially after seeing the amazing team that is also producing amazing food! Will 100% return after that and highly recommend. Thank you Food Trucks for keeping me sane these last couple weeks. If food comes to the neighborhood you know I will be there. This was my first time trying Saffron and as a big fan of a good Gyro I new I wouldn't be let down. If ordered the Gyro Wrap and that came with a side of fries. My food was ready pretty quickly which was great since I was very hungry. The Gyro was amazing. Each bite filled with delicious meat, Tzatziki Sauce, and fresh veggies. No a dry bite to be found. This Gyro was also one of the biggest I had ever had and that's always a plus in my book. The only reason for a 4 star review and not a 5 star is because the fries were kind of lackluster. Plan with not a lot of seasoning. But if your looking for a 5 star Gyro Saffron is the place to go. read more

As you can see from the 5-star reviews, Saffron has a fantastic reputation. They frequent my place of employment on my favorite days of the month - Food Truck Fridays. Although I love it, to be honest, I'm not really adept in the ways of the food truck. I admire the concept and am completely willing to pay $12+ a plate, without sit-down service, for something fantastic, but I just don't have much exposure to them. So when Food Truck Friday happens, I take advantage of the gathering. Y'know for research purposes lol. I am usually a patron of Hapa Li or Happy Grilled Cheese, but have heard so many good things about Saffron (my coworker swears by their chicken shawarma). I throughly enjoy Mediterranean Food for their fresh ingredients and packed-with-flavor dishes, so I figured I would give it a try. I was surprised to see that they had an online order option. It is super convenient because I could just order before-hand, skip the line, and grab my meal at the window. This works great for me so I don't have to spend most of my work hour waiting in line. The cashier was very friendly and I had my order in my hands at the time promised. Easiest process ever! I had ordered a falafel wrap with fries. I proudly walked to my favorite spot to eat my lunch, excited to try what I was sure would be a scrumptious meal. However, when I opened my box, I was disappointed. I paid an extra $2.50 to get upgraded to feta fries, but what I got was plain (and honestly lackluster) ones. I enjoyed the falafel wrap, I suppose, but I just couldn't get over not having my special fries. I definitely could have went back to inform them of the mix-up and I am sure they would have alleviated the problem, but I just didn't have the time on my break. Based off the reviews, I think it was a once-in-a-blue-moon oversight on their part. Like I said, it gets busy on Food Truck Fridays. But i just couldn't justify paying $15 including tip for this. Maybe next time? read more

Deliciously refreshing, lol! It's food truck Friday at my job and the moment that I saw the lineup of trucks I just knew I had to have it. Every bit was fresh and delicious, not too heavy for a workday lunch break but still very filling. I had the chicken/lamb plate, it didn't usually come that way but I asked for both and they granted my wish. This plate comes with basmati rice, a cucumber, onion and tomato salad as well as a yogurt based dipping sauce. I'll definitely choose them again, and again! read more

Is there anything I can really add to this conversation? This is just a great food truck. The portions for the price are amazing! You get at least two breasts worth of meat in one chicken gyro. And they really pile the fries up. Everything tastes good too. The chicken was seasoned all through, and the meat was tender. The sandwich was very big but it wasn't too hard too eat because it was constructed well and the ingredients worked together. The fries have seasoning on them too, which is nice because it breaks up the monotony of eating a boatload of fries. Easily one of the better food trucks in Jax read more

904 Saffron - No Gyro meat in sight. - Mediterranean Near Me

Tried this truck today at urban food court. Was a great choice! The gyro plate comes with rice, salad and Greek sauce. There was a fresh lime to squeeze and it really added to the dish. Rice had a nice flavor. Big helping of gyro meat was tender and properly spiced. The salad was fresh and crisp and well dressed. The sauce is on point and the serving is generous. I was offered a free iced blackberry lemonade while I dined at a small table. It was unusual in a very good way. I liked it. I may add a splash of the fresh lime. Received the free dessert with my Yelp check in. Baklava was delish and presented beautifully. Best 12.00 lunch in a long time. Had leftovers for afternoon snack. read more

I think this is my new favorite food truck. My office cycles through trucks once a week, and I'm hoping they bring this one back. They set up a tent, high top tables, sitting tables and decorations... really went above and beyond. I ordered the chicken plate with salad. It was very flavorful. Yelp check ins come with a free baklava... drool worthy sugar rush. I had the mint lemonade and everyone was doing a double take in the office since it looked like a fancy after hours cocktail. Definitely going back! read more

This truck is legitimately like a luxury experience. If you close your eyes you may even be able to imagine sitting next to a quaint little cafe in Greece - even if you're really just sitting in your cubicle at work. The exterior of the truck is SO clean and modern. They have beautiful decor and fun music to add to the theme. It really transforms the experience. The people on the truck are very friendly and are happy to make recommendations if needed. Loved working with them! For food - I tried a chicken/beef combo plate and everything was so delicious. The meats were juicy and fresh and the rice - oh my I inhaled that stuff! I had a mint lemonade on the side - so refreshing and complimented the cuisine so well. The real winner - the hummus and pita! I would like more pita to go with my pita please. Oh and an extra side of pita. And then some pita to go. PITAAAA. So good. Happy to report I tried Baklava for the first time and now that's one more tempting treat to add to the list of things I shouldn't have but will constantly crave. They're newer on the streets here but definitely deserving of a spot. Go check them out - you'll be so happy you did. read more

Yum Yum! We were so excited when we saw that Saffron was coming to our community tonight! I got there right before they closed but the staff was patient and friendly. Just as important the food was still fresh and hot. We ordered the beef plate with rice, Chicken wrap with fries, and a lemonade. Maria was very sweet and gave me an order of rice pudding. The salad that came with the plate and the sauce were delicious! My husband thought the beef could have been seasoned better. Overall we enjoyed our dinner. read more

Safron stopped by my apartment complex for food truck Thursday. I knew I was going to like this place by the look of their menu. It was very clean, modern and easy to read. So I guess you could say I judged the book by it's cover. Saffron goes the extra mile and really pays attention to detail. They brought their own outdoor tables for patrons to eat at that had nice tablecloths and speakers playing music. They have really nice detailing on the truck itself. I can tell they care a lot about their brand as well as their food. I ordered a chicken wrap with fries. They were very accommodating when I asked for a dairy free alternative to their taziki or garlic aioli in the wrap. They swapped it with hummus which worked out perfectly! They give you a very generous helping of fries and the chicken in the wrap was really delicious. Big pieces of grilled chicken. I really really liked this food truck. I hope they come back again soon! read more

904 Saffron - Chicken wrap with hummus instead of taziki. Really delicious! - Mediterranean Near Me

Had to drive over to check this food truck out, because I had heard so many good reviews about them, and they DID NOT disappoint. We ordered- Chicken Shawarma Wrap, Gyro wrap with Feta Fries, and Hummus + Pita appetizer. I literally cannot pick my favorite. The chicken shawarma was very flavorful (got it spicy, for the love of flavor) and had sriracha at the table, but did need to use it. Their special sauces made it extremely worth it as is. The Gyro wrap was gone in minutes, by my significant other and he is extremely picky about his Gyros. Definitely the best Mediterranean food I've eaten in Jacksonville. In these times of Covid, their food truck was very hygienic, their cooks took precautions and the setting was socially distant. If you are like me, and misses trying new restaurants as we all cope with this pandemic, do definitely try them out. Their Instagram handle is: 904saffron. They post their schedule there regularly. I hope you enjoy this as much as I did! read more

Update - as a result of a conversation with the very nice owner Ryan, I now know that I mistakenly referred to the salad as a Greek salad. He informed me that it was in fact a Persian Shirazi salad, which is typically diced smaller than a Greek, so I apologize for that point. He also said the onion ratio has been adjusted to be less overpowering. Also, re: the tzatziki, he left me know that it was house-made yogurt rather than sour cream. read more

904 Saffron - Beef burger and fries - Mediterranean Near Me

Judging from the reviews, we either caught them on a very bad night, or the reviews are fake. We ordered 2 plates, falafel and gyro tonight. Falafel was THE worst we have ever had. It was literally like balls of sand, sooo so dry. Fries was ok. Gyro meat also, was completely dried out. The plates do not come with pita, which is unheard of at any Mediterranean and/or Middle-Eastern restaurant. Added an order of pita and the total was $40. VERY overpriced for the quality and amount of food you get. I was so very disappointed because I was really looking forward to it. We eat at Beirut a lot and were hoping for the same quality of food. We had to order Pizza in the end. read more

The Sharma might have been OK if the meat hadn't been dried out and drowned in their signature sauce - It tasted like it was mayo and ketchup. The salad? As promised- it was on the Sharma- it was tiny pieces of cucumber and lettuce. This was unimportant because l couldn't eat the Sharma with all the secret sauce. There was tiny bit of tsantzi was spread on the bread. The baklava was crumbly-not flaky and it was still frozen. I called to ask about the secret sauce - phone person said he didn't know. I will be stopping payment on my card for this meal. I already informed the order taker of this.If l want something covers in a secret sauce l'll have a Big Mac. read more
