At Safran, we believe that food is more than a meal — it’s a connection to home, family, and cherished memories. Founded by Afsaneh and Katayoon, two best friends who’ve shared a bond for decades, Safran is our way of bringing the warmth of Persian “mom’s cooking” to Vienna.
We know how it feels to miss the taste of home. That’s why every dish we prepare is crafted with love, just like the meals our mothers made. Whether you’re a traveler craving a comforting plate of Tahdig, or a newcomer to Vienna longing for the flavors of your childhood, our kitchen is a place where you’ll feel welcomed — like family.
Located in Vienna’s vibrant 9th district, Safran isn’t just a restaurant. It’s a little piece of Iran, served with a smile, from two Persian moms who understand what home tastes like.
