    Special sauce to dip your fries in.
    Leigh L.

    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.

    Saffron Mediterranean kitchen came Julington Lakes yesterday. The food was outstanding. I had the curry, tofu and bananas. I also had the falafel salad and hummus. Outstanding meal! The falafel was very moist, not gritty, very good flavor. Absolutely delicious!

    One of my favorite food trucks! I tried the "side" Greek tacos (2/$6) for the first time and they were delicious! Baklava and hummus & pita bread (not pictured) were yummy too.

    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

    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.

    Gyro Wrap, comes with fries.

    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.

    Falafel Wrap
    Tiffany H.

    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?

    Chicken/Lamb plate
    Ayesha F.

    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!

    No Gyro meat in sight.
    Leary P.

    They say are carving the meat. No spicket of meat. Does not seem fresh. I look in the truck and and gyro meat cooking. The truck may have good food but not gyros.

    Chicken wrap with fries
    Brandon A.

    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

    Gyro plate. Free dessert with check in. Also gave me a free tea!
    Kristy A.

    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.

    Boo!
    Kristin W.

    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!

    Erica W.

    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.

    So I've eaten here many times enough to say it deserves a 5 Star and more rating…read more They're not the closest restaurant to me but given the chance, I try to come here as much as possible. The goal is to try every item on their menu. It's Mediterranean (Turkish) cuisine folks, which I call "guilt free, healthy eats". What to try you may ask. If you are striving for that "Olive Garden Salad + Bread combo"... let me suggest Kofta's version which is the Coban Salad and Puffy Bread. They're not offered as an all you can eat combo, but it should keep you filled between the two. - Coban Salad (5/5): A must try, soooo delicious. Fresh ingredients. The dressing, I could drink them in shot glasses. - Puffy Bread (5/5): It's made to order. Comes out nice and hot and puffy. Plenty to share with others. - From the Grill menu. Kofta Plate, Chicken Shish, Adana Plate are all good choices (5/5) - Sandwiches/Wraps: Their Doner Wrap was just okay to me (4/5) Service (5/5): no complaints here Pricing (5/5): Best value when you eat during Lunch. But Dinner items are not too pricey. Lastly, Buffets are also offered...on Sundays I believe. I haven't tried it yet but it definitely gives me a great reason to come back to Kofta.

Inside, the waitress (who I believe is the wife of the owner of the restaurant?) kindly greeted us and seated us immediately. The menu was extensive, plus they sometimes have off menu specials like fish. We ordered the adana lamb and adana chicken, as well as the mixed appetizer plate and calamari. It was way too much food for two of us, but it was all delicious. The meat was a little bit salty, but it was balanced out by the rice and other vegetables on the plate. The mixed appetizers were delicious. I don't think I would order the calamari again. Overall, great Turkish cuisine, owned by Turkish couple who moved to the United States a few years ago.

This hidden gem offers an intimate indoor dining room along with a charming outdoor patio. I highly recommend making a reservation, as seating is limited. Othello is a tapas-style restaurant, and we loved ordering a variety of dishes to share around the table. It was the perfect way to experience different flavors, and every dish we tried was beautifully prepared, fresh, and packed with flavor. Even the less adventurous eaters in our group left impressed. Some of our favorites included the whipped feta (don't skip the bread for dipping!), the roasted half chicken, and the butterflied branzino, which was perfectly cooked with a delicious char and bright, fresh flavors. Every plate that came to the table looked as incredible as it tasted. The staff was welcoming, knowledgeable, and happy to answer any questions about the menu. One thing to know before you go: the chef has a very specific vision for each dish and generally does not allow substitutions or modifications. For example, one person in our group wanted the aioli removed from the tuna, but the dish was only served as designed. It's something to keep in mind if you have picky eaters or dietary preferences. We were so full after sharing so many plates that we had to pass on dessert, but that's just another reason to come back. Othello delivers a memorable dining experience with creative flavors, excellent service, and a fun, shareable menu. We'll definitely be returning.

I came in as a solo diner and was seated quickly, although my table was kind of nestled underneath the high outdoor bar. That meant hearing some of the bartender's phone conversations. I ordered a glass of Lebanese rose wine and liked it! But my meal wasn't impressive. The vegetarian grape leaves (one of my favorite dishes, generally) were OK, although several were split up on my plate (but hey, it happens). I thought the flavor was underwhelming; there was a lot of acidity but nothing else. I also ordered a side of "extra crispy seasoned potato fries" which just turned out to be generic crinkle fries with salt. Definitely wouldn't order those again. I thought maybe there would be some sort of twist on them? The big frustration was service. The restaurant was far from full when I went -- I counted maybe a dozen seated tables. After I finished eating, I spent more than 30 minutes trying to get my waiter's attention to get my check even as I sat with my plates pushed away, glasses empty, and credit card out. He walked by multiple times to wait on and check with other tables, and I saw at least five other employees working in the front of house and walking by me. Even when I got his attention for the check, it took quite a few minutes to get it, despite him walking out to other tables. (Although I will note he seemed busier than the other employees!) My check before tip came to $24, which felt on the pricey side for what I got. I hope I'm wrong, but I got the vibe that I wasn't exactly their favorite type of guest -- a solo diner who wasn't smoking hookah. (I noticed another solo non-smoker go similarly unnoticed by staff.) Maybe they heavily favor regulars, too. But they weren't at capacity, and I'd have gotten out quicker had I been able to pay. Maybe it was just an off night. But it's just not a great feeling to be ignored.

Just delicious and hits the spot every time. I've eaten at Bodrum a handful of times, but have ordered for delivery probably a bit more and everything is just as good as if you are sitting right there in the restaurant. However, I do love eating in because the ambiance of the restaurant is wonderful with the owners not leaving out one detail to make diners feel right at home. We are so lucky to have such a wide swatch of Mediterranean restaurants throughout Jacksonville. Bodrum is right there at the top.
