Zaferan Cafe - Cottonwood Heights

During my two visits to this restaurant, the food was outstanding. The chicken was full of flavor, the rice was light and fluffy, and the assorted dips with pita were simply addictive. If you live in the northern part of the valley, it's worth the trip to Cottonwood Heights – you definitely won’t regret it. Be sure to take the leftovers home; they make for a great breakfast!

I dined here last night and we began with three different dishes, including pomegranate and hummus. The food was seasoned to perfection, and we barely left anything on our plates. The meat wasn’t overcooked, and the basmati rice—often either overdone and dry or too mushy—was beautifully fluffy and cooked just right! The prices are very reasonable, and the restaurant was clean with ample seating, even on a Friday night. You can call ahead to reserve a table and ensure your group has a spot. The meal was so enjoyable that I’m definitely planning to return!

I had a fantastic experience at this restaurant! The food was excellent, and the service was incredibly quick, with exceptionally friendly staff. The decor and interiors were beautiful, creating a lovely atmosphere. The meals were perfectly prepared, with generous portions and great flavor. I highly recommend this place!

The first time I came here was with my staff, and we were treated wonderfully from the time we went through the door until we were gone! It belongs to the family, and everyone works really well together. Excellent service aside, the food was to die for! Everything was so delicate and cooked for perfection. Like a FlAVOR! I literally dream of some of the dishes I had here, and I am always excited to introduce new people for a real Persian experience. A must try!

Food is really good with good portion sizes. We ordered Zaferan family platter for 4 of us along with a side (Mirza Ghasemi) and it sufficed for all of us. It came with plenty of rice and thus it was a but dry, so we asked if we can get any garlic dip . We thought it 'd be just a condiment but we were served maast o mushir , a person yogurt blended with garlic and shallots. This was surprising to us as the waiter did not clarify we 'd be charged for it!! I 'm taking a star out for this.
