Saffron returns to Minneapolis with cooking deeply rooted in Palestine, centered around the hearth and shaped by the seasons and ingredients of Minnesota.The menu from James Beard recognized Chef Sameh Wadi celebrates the Palestinian table through freshly baked breads, vibrant mezze, vegetables, meats and seafood cooked over charcoal and fire, and ingredients sourced directly from Palestine. Dishes are bold, generous and meant to be shared.At its heart, Saffron is about hospitality: gathering around a table, passing plates, sharing a cocktail or bottle of wine, and finding joy in a meal together. It’s a celebration of Palestinian food and culture, and a new chapter for Saffron in the city it has always called home.
