Came here for a post happy hour snack. We weren't feeling too too hungry but needed a little SOMETHING. As we walked by Safron, the smells and aroma with the lit up menu was what drove us right in. It's a very small hole in the wall, more for takeout, but they have a few tables and chairs outside that make the perfect people watching while you eat, that's free entertainment! We ordered the falafel plate to share and it was plenty. There's rice was absolutely delicious and the falafel were made on the spot served perfectly warm and crispy. Pro tip: ask for their house made hot sauce, it will rewire your brain. That was the perfect touch to our platter. Next time would LOVE to order the falafel wrap which comes with fries. Great little spot for authentic Mediterranean cuisine with bold, delicious and fresh flavors. read more

I tried Safron last night after a long day of travel. I got it to-go and waited about 10 minutes for me Greek salad and lamb sandwich. The sandwiches use pita bread and the wraps use tortillas. I got mine with pita, which was nice and soft. Tithe sandwich had bite-sized lamb chunks, which were very good and seasoned well. The fries are a "pass" for me. I don't like bartered fries. The Greek salad was a Greek salad, which is what I expected and wanted, so no complaints! Walking distance from my hotel, friendly staff. It's small inside with o my one table, so you'll sit outside if you stay. I waited inside for my food. read more

Safron Mediterranean Grill is a gem for Miami! A friendly place where you can find authentic and delicious Mediterranean food, coupled with a great vibe and customer service! The ambiance is cozy and relaxed, with booths that have pillows strewn across them. I ordered a lemonade and also the salmon platter. The salmon platter came with delicious salad, tzatziki sauce, rice, and pita bread! It was truly delicious and out of this world! You could taste the salmon and lemon herb seasoning, with the amazing tzatziki sauce, the rice, and salad with the olive oil and all of the fresh vegetables and herbs! Yummy! Amazing! Cheers to good eats! read more

Enjoyed the meal. Food was great and packaged very well for a takeout order. Called in and 15 mins later was able to pick up. Everything tasted fresh and seasoned well. Will come again to try out other dishes. read more

Excellent service, all meals freshly prepared. Everything we ate was delectable. What I loved most was the time they took to explain all the dishes we inquired about. Wow, that sampler platter is so amazing. You get to taste a variety of appetizers, which all are deliciously unique. I can't say that I favored one over the other, as they were all equally, mouthwatering. Yum! Followed by our meals which were so good. I couldn't believe I ate everything... not one bite was left on my plate. You must visit! read more

This Turkish shop offers a hybrid of street food and sit down options. I grabbed a to-go order of Adana kebab (wrap), a salad, and hummus. The food was delicious and the staff were friendly. There is a small seating area inside towards the back and the atmosphere is nice enough to bring a date, friends, or small family. Good overall. read more

I ordered the salmon entree plate (salmon, rice, salad and pita) and everything was seasoned or cooked to perfection. I'm so impressed. My server Kenya was very sweet and I'd come here again. There are tables and a/c in the back if you're overheating. read more

We came to this restaurant and everything was good. The food quality was nice, and it was clear that the ingredients were fresh. The portion size was very good and the prices were reasonable. The flavor was quite regular it didn't have any special taste or spices that stand out or make it memorable. The restaurant was clean, and the staff were friendly and polite. The tea was delicious, but the baklava wasn't crispy as it should be and had too much syrup. read more

We picked Safron based on their high Yelp review, because otherwise they don't look like much from outside. I ordered the salmon dish. It was perfectly cooked and the best version I've had in any Turkish restaurant. And that is the reason I'm writing them this review. We sat in the corner room which was very comfortable, pillows and all. If we lived nearby we'd come back regularly. read more

Feb 2024. Visiting from Vegas. This spot is legit. Had the lamb kabob plate with fries/salad/warm pita bread. The lamb was perfectly medium and juicy with no gamy taste at all. Tender and juicy and flavorful! The tahini matched perfectly with the lamb. Pita bread was also very good. Fresh soft and not overly bready. First time here and will definitely be back when in Miami. Service was awesome warm and friendly. Ambiance is hole in the wall but w full service! Eat on the outdoor sidewalk seating and enjoyed the beautiful evening weather in South Beach. Hidden gem!!! read more

Safron Mediterranean Grill - Kofte Kebab Platter - Mediterranean Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

An unassuming little restaurant with great food! During my visit to Miami, I asked my boyfriend what he wanted for dinner tonight. We decided on Mediterranean. While searching Doordash, I came across Safron and placed a pickup order. I ordered hummus, stuffed grape leaves, fries, Greek salad, and x3 falafel sandwiches. After placing my order, I immediately called the restaurant to see if they could put spicy/hot sauce in the bag. We made it to the restaurant and parked in front in a non-parking spot. My boyfriend waited in the car while I ran in. I came up to the counter and was met with friendliness. Not only did they remember to put the spicy sauce (it's a chili paste) in the bag, the lovely lady at the register told me, unprompted as I retrieved my bag, that the spicy sauces were in there. The falafel sandwich was jam packed with flavor and was very filling, the hummus was a delicious classic, the stuffed grape leaves were super tasty both with and without the tzatziki sauce, the fries while a little mushy after transit still hit the spot, and the Greek Salad was refreshing and satisfying. We thoroughly enjoyed our food and look forward to trying more dishes from here! Thank you!! read more

Safron is a standout Mediterranean gem by the beach, quickly becoming one of my favorite Mediterranean places.The food is consistently seasoned to perfection, with the succulent lamb chops being a personal highlight. Their pita offerings are equally impressive, whether you opt for the beef, lamb shish, or chicken--each one is juicy and bursting with flavor. The freshly baked bread is delightfully fluffy, adding an extra touch of comfort to the meal. It has a small size, but still manages to offer both cozy indoor seating and pleasant outdoor options. The ambiance, combined with the consistently excellent food, makes Safron a must-visit for Mediterranean cuisine lovers. read more

I actually had a free-for-all Monday night on my itinerary and this restaurant was picked by one of my friends. Apparently the restaurant was ranked #6 in Yelp's 2016 Top 50 Places to Eat in Miami (https://blog.yelp.com/community/yelps-2016-top-50-places-to-eat-in-miami/). [Parking]: I had valet parking from my hotel (The Kent Hotel) just a block away otherwise it is certainly not easy to find street parking in this part of Miami Beach (difficult but not impossible). [Amenities & service]: The restaurant has tables available in the back. Service was pretty standard with no hiccups. [Menu]: Pretty standard Mediterranean menu with gyro, kebab, falafel, salads, lentil soup, sandwich/wraps, hummus, tabbuli, etc. Please note that sandwiches are made with pita bread and swaps are made with tortilla. *** Gyro (wrap - $11): So the order also came with French fries and surprisingly fries were surprisingly good and tasted much better than wrap itself. Hummus (ground chick peas, tahini, fresh lemon juice, fresh garlic, extra virgin olive oil, and Mediterranean herbs - $6.95): Can't say it was the best hummus I have ever had, but still solid nonetheless. *** A solid 4-star restaurant with above-average & affordable Mediterranean food, but hard to bump up to 5-star when the most memorable part of the meal was a 5-star worthy side dish like fries. read more

Great food. Falafel and chicken sandwiches are really really nice. Hummus and pita bread was fresh.

Favorite "hole-on-the-wall" on south beach! Great customer service. Tasty and fresh food

Spent $20 for the gyro platter and it was the driest meat I've ever had. I've always felt the gyro meat is typically good. You cant really go wrong. But the meat was just thin and dry. I didnt really like it. Run down interior with barely any seating. Customer service. Not the best. I would say they have other options which were definitely more affordable than a lot of food in the area if you get a sandwich or something. But too scared to go back since i didnt like my platter very much read more

Located in the heart of south beach- quick and delicious Mediterranean wraps. We ordered the lamb shish wrap and the falafel wrap- both 10/10 when it comes to the flavor. We got an appetizer to share of the shepard's salad- very good but definitely on the onion side so shy away if you don't like onions. Very lemony and tasty. Service was quick and our food was out in a timely manner. They brought extra chili paste out quickly too. I prefer to go here earlier as it is in south beach and on the street if you eat outside. They do also have dining inside and it looked like it was decorated well. Will definitely go again next time I'm in Miami if I'm looking for a quick and delicious wrap! read more

Came here with my family for dinner. We had hummus with pita and it was very good. Tasted fresh and homemade. We had the gyro sandwiches with fries. The sandwich was a little dry but overall good when you add extra sauce. I would recommend the chicken instead of the lamb options as they tasted fresher. We ended up getting the doner gyro platter and the meat was cold, which would be understandable as to why it was dry. Nancy was very nice and accommodating. After eating, we ended up drinking the complimentary tea that was offered. read more

What a gem! Turns out you can get affordable and tasty food on South Beach. Pulled up here on a weekday evening and was immediately seated- it wasn't very busy. The gyro platter that I got was a huge portion and tasty as well. The salad and meat were very well seasoned and they made the great decision of putting the pita bread underneath the meat, as the meat juices would get into the bread and it made it taste really good. awesome place! read more

Safron Mediterranean Grill - Doner Gyro Platter - Mediterranean Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

Safron grill is a no-frills Mediterranean spot conveniently located in Miami Beach & open late. After a long day of partying, we found this spot at 1am and were excited to grab a solid falafel plate. While taste wise it was decent, the platter combination was slightly bland. The falafel itself was tasty but the rice was pretty basic and tzatziki I felt wasn't the best choice as the dip. A hummus, babaganoush, tahini or spicy sauce would've been better IMO. The rice too should've been bit spiced for flavor. At $17 a plate, it isn't cheap but considering this is a late night spot with nice sit down service, it's not a bad option at all. Their meat options might be better, just couldn't get to try them. Safron grill, please add some saffron to your dishes :) read more
