Wonderful experience. Must try is their Biryani as everyone order. My all time favourite is the butter chicken and Nan... So nice way of approach by the staff. Little expensive as usual, but worth for what we pay.

This is the best Indian cuisine your can find in Dubai. Super affordable price and you can use the entertainer app. The service is super fast and professional. Big thanks to Rizwan for his service. My 2 must try from the menu is the butter chicken and the prawn coconut curry. Jummy see you next time.

Great food. We tried Grilled Pepper Garlic Prawn and it was really awesome. The portion is less when compared with pricing.If you are heavy eater then order more quantity than usual.But great food and very friendly staff.

Had a great experience here in Zafran!!! I’m absolutely satisfied with the service, the food and with the great portions! I’d definitely come again again and again! Thanks for Perera for hosting us and with his friendly service!

Papdi chat is very goodAlso Chicken malai boti so soft and tenderBiryani is also goodChicken tika masalaVery good portion prices are bit high

We loved the branch in Marina Mall and we went the branch in Mirdif City Centre as we felt like eating something Indian. Our choice was absolutely right. Here you can enjoy elegant and not too greasy Indian food. Just like the previous time, ordered butter chicken which was superbly nice. And vegetable biriyani as well this time which also tasted great!

Awesome Food....Good ambience.. Rates are on higher end...

I’ve been dining at Zafran for years now and it’s been a constant favorite for adults and kids alike. The food quality is consistently good and portions are generous too. What I genuinely enjoy about Zafran is the constantly balanced taste, nothing is heavily spiced or oily so as to what you’d think of when you think Indian food.Their service is impeccable I went last night being a Thursday night, restaurant being full capacity we were served everything on time and hot food was hot cold drinks were cold so all a win win situation.We went for Biryani promotion, ended up trying two new things Chaat platter and Tandori chicken. Both were delicious !!!!With Ramadan just around the corner, I couldn’t help but to think that this could be the perfect Iftar ! You get a chaat platter, get some Tandori chicken it comes in half and full portions and voila you’re sorted and then offcourse Zafran has a lovely selection of hot and cold drinks ranging from Jal Jeera ( featured below ) to Masala Chai.Now returning to the Biryani, Zafran is one of those rare places where I eat mutton, else where I prefer sticking to chicken, here it’s cooked to perfection, there no after taste or bad aroma hence mutton it is ! So we tried the Rampuri Gosht Biryani. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 perfection ! Generous portion, served on a huge platter enough to feed up to 3/4 people. Order some Kachumer salad on the side.We also had some palak paneer and Zafran special daal on the side.Ended the meal with Ghulabo jamuns.Excellent way to kick start the weekend !#DineOutDubai

One of the best and tasty desi food you can eat @Zafran Bistro.Ambience 3/5Food 4/5Price 3/5Service 4/5

Everyone loves a good biryani. But finding these good ones needs a little time and a lot of calories.Let me give you the short cut and tell you that Zafran Indian Bistro has one of the best biryanis in Dubai.They’ve come up with a new menu called Biryani Tales featuring a selection of four distinct biryanis that come from different parts of India.Whether you prefer the Malabar seafood biryani from the south, the Kolkata chicken biryani from the east, or the Rampuri gosht biryani from the north, you’ll have a pick of everything you need. We opted for the Murgh pudina biryani which had a touch of western Indian influence along with a melange of Mughal flavors in its succulent boneless chicken pieces and heavy accents of mint supported by rich flavors of cashew nuts, caramelized onions, tomatoes and spices, all lovingly intertwined with ghee rice. All biryanis come with a side of raita, raw onions and green chilies.Albeit slightly pricey (AED 74-89), the portions are good enough for 3-4 people if you order a starter along with your biryani, or 2-3 people if this is all you’re indulging in.We tried some of their signature dishes as well which included their Chaat platter, Kebab platter, and Dessert platter, all of which were remarkable in their taste and portions.Zafran is located at City Centre Mirdif and Dubai Marina Mall + they offer home delivery as well, so you can choose to devour the rich Mughal flavors at their restaurant or in the comfort of your own home.

Best Indian restaurant in the mall, tasty and delicious 🤤 food, friendly staff, excellent & fast service, 💯 👍

Amazing Indian food made of the freshest ingredients and the best bit not too oily or spicy. I liked the presentation of the food and the friendly service.Here is what I tried 👇🏼Feta and Rocket saladMalabar seafood biryaniRam Puri biryaniKebab platterZafraan RaanHome style chicken curryStarter platter ( street food starters )Mixed dessert platterLet’s talk about taste Now. The salad and my starters left me wanting for more even though I ate to my hearts content. The chicken curry was authentic in taste and true to its name. I loved both the biryanis as they had their own distinct taste and the rice was cooked to perfection. The kebab platter was delicious as well specially paired with the three sauces that I was served with the papads. The raan again a must try. I seldom feel that I over eat and at Zafran I did. This is my set criteria for a 5 star! If I can’t stop eating that means it’s too good.This feast had to have a fairy tale ending and mine was one with the perfect dessert platter where the warmth of the beetroot halwa combined with the kulfi was utter perfection. I felt no less than a queen dining in my palace, all thanks to the friendly staff and food fit for royals.

The quality of food is very good. Authentic Indian cuisine. Staff service was good. The restaurant is maintained well and the decor is also good, with ample space in the booths.Given that its on Entertainer, it makes it great value for money

Amazing service! They customize my meal to be vegan! I forgot the name of the waiter (but it was something close to Perera or Pereri). He is very welcoming and always remember my order. I will definitely keep going there when I crave Indian food! THE BEST PLACE FOR VEGAN INDIAN DISHES! I recommend Spinach curry with potatoes! And a curry with mixed vegetables including peas and cauliflower. They accept the entertainers, the price of the two meals was affordable. The food in reality even looks better than what it looks like on the menu.

Good enough modern style Indian cuisine

The best Indian food I ever had. I always go for the prawn coconut curry and the butter chicken with the biryani rice and naan bread. The quality of the food and the service of the staff is what makes this experience unique and makes you want to always come back. We had a great table service from Rizwan who was very kind and quick with our service.

One of my fav Indian food restaurants in a mall. Very friendly and warm service. Food is good - curries, biryanis, naans, Kebabs; and they have a delicious selection of mocktails too.Youll also often find limited time menus, which are really good.

Worst Indian restaurant in UAE. Zero quality food and too costly, they charge 8 Dhs for small water bottle which is actually 1 dhs, such a shame. No taste at all. I don’t recommend this restaurant at all …

The best Indian restaurant in midriff city centre. Good service and great food presentation. The platter and desserts are mouth watering yummy 😋

Firstly, I have been to Zafran restaurant in Doha and the quality of the food was great. While I now moved to Dubai and when I saw the same restaurant in Mirdif mall, was so excited to try without thinking of second choice. But unfortunately, the food was horrible. We ordered for Kebab Platter and Chicken Zafrani Briyani. Chicken in both the dish was very hard and cold. None of the dishes were up to the mark. I never imagined that a high end restaurant like Zafran would server such low quality food that too in the mall where there is significant footfall. This place should improve if it doesnt want to spoil the brand name.

They have quality food with quick service.

The quality of the food was very high and well presented. We ordered the Prawn coconut curry, Butter chicken, and he famous chicken biryani, all living up to their image on the menu and flavors! We were serviced by a lovely staff member, Pawan! He was always attentive to our needs and was quick in delivering. He made sure that everything was going well and that we were satisfied by our meals! Very friendly manner in terms of communication and recommending dishes for new comers. Over all a very good experience and a second visit for sure :)!

The food is just excellent and very tasty. We enjoyed it all.Service staff is very professional and friendly.In our opinion, Zafran could be after 2018 and 2019 the What‘s on Award Winner also in 2021 as Favourite Indian Restaurant (below 400 DHS).For sure, we will come back again.

Good foodQuantity is good for 2 personsValue for money

One of our favt places for food.. always they try to innovative dishes and offers. Today we tried their kebabs and jingha started they where the best. They had some new sizzler dishes we tried that too. The fish was amazing on sizzler platter but the chicken dish looked amazing delicious but for taste it was horrible dry and tasteless..please dont order . The rest of the food order like butter chicken and dal making was finger licking. The feedback was shared and we where given discount too for the same.

Great place for North Indian food.... Starters and Platters are very good.... In veg. Dhai Kabab and Mushroom are really good....

Great food very flavoured and the appetizers are my favourite

Food is good. I recommend the strawberry drink which I dont remember the name but have the word Kashmir on it.

One of the amazing indian restaurants in uae. The butter chicken, and chicken masala are my favorite.

The place is awsom..no wonder the interior is wonderfull. Service also very good but food tast is average. I didnt hade a wawoo experience honestly.

Zafran Bistro is a cozy Indian restaurant located in the Mirdiff city center. I have been to Zafran last day to have an iftar buffet. The restaurant was jam-packed with people merrily enjoying their scrumptious meal.For a fasting person this buffet dinner is a good deal since it had a splendid range of toothsome cuisines at an affordable rate. Dates, water, melons, and juice were served for breaking the fast. The three-course dinner which had everything from starter(salads, soups) to the main course( biriyani, butter chicken, mutton curry, fish items, etc) and deserts( laddu, jilebi, barfi, cakes, etc) pretty much satisfied our fasting stomachs.If you are looking for an amazing iftar with friends and family, then head to Zafran...Follow my Instagram @rukkusumayya for more food updates

If youve been in dubai for years and still havent visited in zafran....... you have missed a lot of indian food..We visited on weekends and order salads, tandoori chicken,, butter chicken,and must try their chicken biryani,which comes with cover on topWe love their condiments 3 variety of dips and crackers...which are complimentaryAnd the service staff deepak was very helpful nd recommended.....

Good taste, good environment.. not the best for quick snacks but obviously a good eatery to have meals.

One of the best South Indian restaurants in Dubai. Not cheap and not too expensive but the quality is really good.

Really food tasting very good also service is perfect.

Excellent food and very attentive service. Highly recommended to visit.

This was disappointing- the hygiene of the restaurant is questionable and I found a fly in my juice :/The waiter didn’t even acknowledge it… he just printed like it was nothing. Having a clean restaurant is one of the most important things during these times!!

My favorite Indian restaurant, I love the coconut prawns, and the breadThe prices are a little expensive, but with the entertainer is good

Balanced Iftar Buffet

Such amazing, mouth watering food and exceptionally kind service from the staff. The food is simply to die for! Enough said ..

Zafran restaurant in mirddif city centre, got ample sitting space, fine indian cuisine. Excellent service and pleasant staff, food quality was average, they can improve the food taste and quality. Spceically biryani, its just spicy. All Gravy having almost similar taste n species. Over all experience was good. Will visit again to try different n post you accordingly.

Zafran is an Indian casual dining restaurant located in Mirdiff City Center that serves flavors catering to Arabs and tourists. We checked out the place for dinner and it was quite packed. The interiors are modern and comfortable. There are booths and table in a large space with an open kitchen showcasing the tandoor.

Very nice Indian food, staff are really polite and ready to help. They offer amazing service and food :) i highly recommend to try with family or friends.

Me + Biryani = ❤❤❤@zafranindianbistro. This restaurant was a random find after a long day of shopping. i absolutely loved the taste of everything in this photo andever since i have tried the lamb biryani and zafran chicken curry i have been wanting to go back and try some more food so i can write a proper review about this place. But unfortunately covid happened and now i am scared to even step out to do what i love the most, eat at a restaurant. So i have no idea about any other dish but their lamb biryani and zafran chicken curry was very very very good and flavourful. If you guys ever pass by Mirdiff city center do give this restaurant a try. If anyone has tried any other dish from zafran can comment below.

Visited in this restaurant few days back.... Staff was very prompt... I think his name was Rizwan.... This is in midriff city centre... Nice ambience... Both veg and non veg options are thr...they give papadam in the beginning... Quite spacious...

A very good restaurant for the people who love Indian Food!We ordered Aloo Tikkia, Palak Paneer, Veg Biryani, Naan, Lachha paratha, Gulab Jamun and Kiwi Mojito.The Aloo Tikkia was best among all! The Palak Paneer was Ok and Biryani was Good. Gulab Jamun and Kiwi Mojito were great too. The naan and paratha were ok. Overall we enjoyed the food and would recommend it if you are in Mirdif City Center looking for good lunch/dinner options!

Zafron, an Arabic restaurant serving Indian cuisine.Food made to the spice a minimum spice tolerance.Friendly staff and quick serving of food.Ambiance of the restaurant was really peaceful and good. Food was not that bad nor was it top notch. Really loved the idea of serving biscuits with tea in a high restaurant, brought in the beauty of actually drinking tea.Overall Review: GoodPricing: $$Food: GoodAmbiance: Excellent

Even though I am a Filipino, I really enjoyed the desi food from Zafran! ❤️We ordered our favorite butter chicken and papdi chaat. The taste is so superb.The restaurant in Mirdif City Center has a spacious dining area, making our time very comfortable.The service team are also very welcoming and caring, making sure we are enjoying our time all the way. Special thanks to Mr. Dhaval, Mr. Pawan and Mr. Peter for taking such good care of us!Overall we would recommend you to come and try ❤️

Delicious food, reasonably priced, great service from Pawan.Will go again.

Very friendly staff. Excellent service. We found the paneer to be very spicy. They asked us why we didnt have it as we were leaving and offered to make it mild so we could pack it as a take away. We enjoyed the rest of the food too.

Great food. Do not ask for alot it rose include big amounts. Be smart and get your water from outside before you since they charge alot for that

Great Indian restaurant with very courteous and friendly staff. We had a quick drink from here. The Very Berry and Watermelon was extremely refreshing.

Tried chicken biriyani...it was costly but the quantity was more....it was more than enough for 2 person. Biriyani rice was good and chicken piece was extremely good. Have heard a lot about Zafran biriyani thats why thought of trying but to be honest didnt get that wow feeling.

You cant wrong with Zafran, tasty indian food combined with fast and excellent service

The service is excellent and the waiters are very friendly and polite. I really enjoyed my time and the delicious food.

Amazing place very good food , friendly staff , and we were provided with free deserts 😋

Zafran offers amazing Indian cuisine with spices tuned to your taste buds. The ambience is very good and safe to the present situation. The staff here are very friendly and will serve to delight you.

We felt sorry to have chosen to dine in this restaurant Zafran in Mirdef City Center while there are so many other choices nearby.A big mistake which wont happen again.

Its very good restaurant for Indian Pakistani taste.

Lovely food and great service.

Its amazing place for tummy ..very good taste of food and amazing flavours..i enjoyed the meals here

Best place to have authentic Indian mughlai food, satff is is very courteous, polite and quick. I always go their for my favorite chicken tandoori. But more than that I love their papad (poppadom) with date chutney and beetroot chutney. Must visit if you visit Mirdif city center

One of the best Indian restaurant in DubaiDelicious foodsGreat serviceLove the environment

Good food and good service they are very friendly

One of the best Indian restaurants, but be careful food are too spicy 😉

V slow service.. no one was paying attention to us.. we had to literally get up and ask them for water, etc.. food was also OK. Chicken tikka starters were a bit dry.. lal maas too was ok.

Delicious Indian cuisine

Delicious indian food

Very good & tasty Indian food.

This is the best Indian restaurant in mirdiff city centre there portion quantity is good test is the best good service by gobinda.

Tasty Indian Cuisine. A bit expensive as compared to price.

I was craving for somet hing sweet during shopping in mirdiff city center. So went to Zafran to try their dessert platter.Its beautifully decorated restaurant.Staffs are very friendly and cooperative.We ordered mango lassi, sweet lassi and dessert platter.At first they provided us complimentary papad with 3 type of chutneys.. one tamarind chutney, mango chutney and mint chutney. Papad was crispy and served hot.Then they served mango lassi and sweet lassi.Lassi was concentrated,not very liquidy. Taste was average.But we are very disappointed with dessert platter.It consists of firni, eggless chocolate cake, rasmalai, gajar ka halwa.Firni: strong predominant flavor of saffron. The flavor of saffron changes the whole taste of firni. It was not even close to authentic firni. 1/5Chocolate cake: it was just a piece of dark chocolate. Nothing else. 1/5Rasmalai: it was fine. 3/5Gajar ka halwa: it could have been better. There is better gajar ka halwa in other restaurants in Dubai. 2/5Not worthy at all.At the end one of their staff came to us for review. He was very polite and listened to us.Overall service was good.Want to taste their biryani next time.Food 2/5Service 4/5Value for money 1/52nd review: wanted to try their biryani. So we ordered lamb biryani and prawn biryani.Quantity is enough for 2 person.Theyve provided us with salad and raita.Prawns and lambs are well cooked and full of flavor.Moderate spicy, rice were also well cooked and flavorful.They gave complimentary papad and 3 types of sauces.I ordered one kashmiri dew which was basically strawberry mojito. It was also very refreshing.Staffs were also very helpful.Ambience was cozy and nice.Total rating : 4/5

Good Biryani. That is all I can say. Other items were kind of good but not what I would expect from the high end restaurant.

India the passion of food

The food is always excellent. The menu changes from time to time so you never get bored. I am not vegetarian by any means but their veg menu always impress me. The service was efficient and the price was reasonable. Be sure to use your Shukran Card to earn points.

Excellent nice food good stuff and good mall

Took parcel of Paneer Makhani from here. When I ate it post one hour, it tasted extremely sour. I had food poisoning and vomiting 🤢 because, I suppose food was not cooked fresh and gravy turned stale. Please be careful when you eat at this restaurant.

Just been there for dinner with our 1 year old baby, my husband ordered lamb and I has a dish with coliflower which he specifically asked not to be spicy at all and it came so spicy that I was in tears 🤔😭stuff are very friendly and helpfulalso its on entertainer

Enjoyed a great meal at Zafran Mirdif City Centre, Thank you Pawan for the excellent service!

Good Bristo enjoyed the food and the sevice was exalent especially Perera

My girlfriend and I had a great experience.I had the kebab platter and she had the shrimp coconut curry and we shared a broccoli tandoori.The kebab platter super juicyThe shrimp curry was very good but towards the end, the coconut flavor was a bit much.The broccoli tandoori was AMAZING!Our waiter Pereras was very nice and helpful.Overall we would come back.

The Dahi Kebabs here are the best that I have ever had 😋. They are so yummy and practically melt while eating.

Food was amazing and seemed to follow all hygiene standards.Kaushal was very attentive and friendly.Thank you for great experience.

Very tasty food with lots of variety.. especially the zafran biriyani

Modern Indian restaurant with various tastes, it was my first time but I really liked it 👌🏻 be aware its not cheap 🤷🏻‍♂️

They know how to ruin traditional Indian biryani

I like the foodThe staff need to serve more fast

The food is very delicious but it is very expensive. I doesnt in big trays. It comes in small ones compared to normal dishes at other restaurants. I had chicken biryani and mushroom fried rice. They tasted very good. But instead of putting that much money on one dish I wold rather eat at cheap but known for the quality restaurant.

Good food and cool ambiance.

Best biryani

Nice ambient and service. Quantity and taste is good. Would loke to visit again.

Delicious food and really beautiful atmosphere. We ordered papdi chat, chicken biryani, and butter chicken. Loved everything!

If you are in the mood for the tantalizing tastes of the sub continent then look no further than Zafran . Exquisitely prepared food by the best chefs . Highly recommended for a great lunch or dinner . Great seating and ambience. 5 Stars all the way .

Great Indian food, familly cabin

It is average it is not bad or amazing it is between good and very good but not my favorite but biryani is very good but paneer makhani is very heavy overall 3,5 stars I prefer Gazebo restaurant

Good and fast service, staff is kind and very helpful, i give 4 star cause the food was good but not very delicious.

First time here, absolutely delicious food. We tried the kebab plater, the biryani, the seafood soup, Gulab Jamun, Kulfi, everything is spot on!Will definitely revisit!

Food is vrey tasty and very fast delivery good beheaviour Nasir Hameed
