Saffron Restaurant in Myeongdong

Saffron Restaurant in Myeongdong, Seoul, Korea

If you are looking for high quality Arabian food, I recommend you check out Saffron in Myeongdong (located on the first floor of the Myeongdong Ibis Hotel). The sumptuous atmosphere is matched by their high quality food. On a recent visit there I had their mixed dip that had hummus, yogurt, baba ghanoush and cucumber salad. It was very fresh and smooth. The hummus and the baba ghanoush had a rich sheen of dark green olive oil on it and the yogurt and the salad were just start enough- perfect for picking up with their fresh baked bread.

Their palak paneer was great as well (I think you are probably aware by now that I love palak paneer). It had lots of spinach and good chunks of the fresh curd cheese. It was a little spicier than normal, but it didn't stop me from eating it all.

The service here is top notch and the atmosphere is very luxurious. They have a wine and alcohol menu as well, so it's a nice place to entertain guests or for a date. Prices start at 10,000 won (with VAT). They have halal options as well.
