Saffron is making its return in Northeast Minneapolis

Saffron is making its comeback. Chef Sameh Wadi and his brother Saed plan to reopen the influential restaurant this year after their previous ten-year run in the warehouse district of Minneapolis ended in 2016. We’re proud to be partnering with Sameh and Saed on the revival of Saffron, this time in Northeast in the former Young Joni space.
