🇮🇷 IRANExcerpt from Eat the World Los Angeles:If you are in the mood for a meal and head to the back of the well-stocked market, you will find a menu that reads the length of that of a restaurant. A peek over the counters reveals a large grill cooking kabobs of all sorts, big pots full of unknown wonders, and constant cooking even if the store is not full of customers.
Saffron food mart is the best Persian/Iranian food mart you can find in South Bay. They have a variety of essential grocery items as well. But their food quality is absolutely great! Don’t think twice between this place and other restaurants around Torrance. Choose from their Kabobs or stews and you’ll not be disappointed.
I really enjoy the environment. It’s a very clean food mart and everyone is very nice and make sure you found what you are looking for.
I love this place ❤ and the people who work there, they are so kind, there pricees is responsible comparing to their competitors the food so good and needed in the area.
Love the food! the employees are very hard working. Nice service.Recommend this place if you want tasty Iranian food.
Pristine, proper & exact ..... 5 stars through & through. Quality proprietorship for that wonderful buying Experience amongst happy diners too, lets All rave up & shout!Im the Carpenter with Clout and Im OUT ..... Thank You Saffron!
They changed the quality and the size of the kabab! . Poor Sevice and bad quality. I don’t recommend this restaurant.
New place for 35 years of Persian food experience Chef. Very good tasty food at very reasonable prices . Eat in or take out. Catering is available . Grocery, meat shop, bakery, and restaurant all in one place . Abo Ali is the owner chef that greets you a big smile Knowing that after tasting his authentic recipes you will return as I did for more.
Great place to get any ingredients or spices you might need for your kitchen. We enjoy ordering from the hot prepared foods, like koobideh and barg.
I love this market the owner is very nice, we get our arabic authentic food from iran and midde east, the food also is amazing thank you fardad
Great selection of persian groceries. You can order food here too and it has very generous portions. The 45$ family meal fed 8 people. Very happy about the price and quantity.
This is the BEST person food in the South Bay. I know as I am Persian. The kabobs are flavorful and tender. The meat melts in your mouth. Everything is fresh and delicious. The rice is amazing and the sheerazi salad is fresh crispy and farm delicious. I love this place. The only place I will go when I want Persian food period. The owner is the chef and he is the real deal.
The best food very friendly staff I love it
This is a fabulous place for lunch and dinner especially if you love Persian food and old fashioned home made food at its best. Small clean restaurant/very polite/courteous manager/owner. You can eat in, order to go or get it delivered. Whatever way you choose to go will be fine. Their rice, grilled meats and the Yogurt/Dill/Cucumber sauce are all excellent.
Amazing place to eat at and to shop from. Yes, maybe some staff there are not very friendly or not smiling, since this is an inherent culture among many Persians. They take pride in their product and services and do not overshadow it with an artificial smile. The food and products are high quality.
Small but well-stocked and clean market
Everything is great here…
This is a small Persian Market that is located in Torrance and I found the place to be quite nice and stocked with specialty food items. I would go there again. They also serve hot meals.
Hot and fresh kabobs, with other dishes available at times, like lamb stew. Better food than the other sit down restaurants in the area, just limited on the menu items from time to time.
I love this market, very good, products, fresh and good quality, they have a small restaurant, very delicious, reasonable princess, and bottom line very kind and polite worker. I really like and Im so happy to have this market near me.
I had the kabob kobedi and it was exceptionally good. They have a variety of middle eastern food items for sale like different kinds of persian ice cream, Persian breads and more.The customer service is excellent every time and that is why my family and I keep shopping here. If you want great customer service and a variety of Middle eastern food choices shop here.
Delicious prepared hot food
Wonderful place. Very fresh and beyond delicious Persian food. You can buy some Mediterranean and Arabic food and items as well. Olivier salad is a must. Very good helpful friendly manager and cashiers.
Simple, tasty, delicious and inexpensive kabob. the best rice in town.
Nice Persian market with a kitchen serving delicious food. Definitely worth visiting
This little shop has very good Persian food. They are generous with their servings. My fave is the gheyme. Meat and yellow split peas stewed in a tomato sauce base with dried lemon and topped with fries.
Great producs and services.
Worst place and rude workers and owner.Not recommended at all.Never back to this place again.You can find much better mediterranean foodIn the area.
Best persian food in this area. Their “Ghorme Sabzi stew” and “Koobide Kabab“ and “Kashk Badenjan” are as perfect as best persian restaurants in iran!!Portion sizes are big, More than enough for one person.Totally surprised by quality and taste!
