This is the second time we were tricked by the same restaurant! The first time was several years ago, but after so much time, we forgot that we had eaten here before. The food is not "bad", it's just not great, and not what we were expecting for being ranked #1 on trip advisor (at the time). Our meals could... More

Back up a couple of weeks after our last visit, and it was no surprise that the food was equally as good as the first time, this time we shared both the veggie and meat tapas plates for entree, and its hard to decide which is more a fav. I'd have to give them both a big 8/10. The bride... More

Have never had Persian food before but was pleased we kept open minds and gave it a try. We have been eating out in Australia at least once a week for two and a half years and this is the best meal we have had in this country. Some may not consider it fine dining, but the chef is creative... More

My wife and I visited for a special occasion, the whole experience made for a great night. First of all the space the restaurant occupies is perfect for the Qld climate. We were seated on the deck with a table close to the footpath, this meant we received a great breeze whilst watching the hustle and bustle of Brunswick street.... More

We went here a few years ago and the food was amazing, this time we didn't enjoy it was much. We had the meat tapas to share and the kebabs - I remember these being amazing last time. This time there didn't seem to be as much and the meat was too chewy and not as tasty. However the service... More

Meeting a friend at this point on Brunswick Street, means you really are spoilt for choice for dinner. However after wandering along all the choices reading the menu's...Zafron's drew us in with the delicious and unique fusion menu. Service was lovely, friendly attention but not intrusive. Meal prices were reasonable for the area and portion sizes were good. The bread... More

Truly exceptional restaurant. It was one of my earliest discoveries after moving to Brisbane, and I have been a regular ever since. Incredible combinations of flavours, saffron, pomegranate, pistachio, orange blossom throughout the menu. I look forward to a night at Zafron, knowing I will have a fantastic meal. Best restaurant in its price bracket in Brisbane, and you'd struggle... More

I have to agree with 'Benjamin G' - this is casual dining certainly not fine dining. We made the mistake of booking a table on a Saturday night at 6.30pm. We tried to just order entrees to start with but were told we had to order entrees and mains at the same time - what a mistake. The entrees came... More

Our biannual "girls" holiday left me in charge of dinner on our first night away. As usual I used tripadvisor for something different and quirky in Brisbane. Were we disappointed? No! This is an amazing restaurant, the food was superb, the service outstanding and the atmosphere - great. This BYO restaurant in New Farm did not disappoint on any level.... More

This is a little Gem. An authentic Persian Chef (from Iran). The food is wonderful, the serice is great and the atmosphere is perfect.. I gather this is a family show and it deleivers great food with charm, Highly reccommended. The good thing is you can take your own wine so it is great value for money.
