What's New Restaurants: Saffron To Go

It seems like you can have pretty much anything you want delivered in Beijing these days, but we definitely did not expect that range of items to include paella. Yet that’s exactly what Chef Yao Yang and the team behind Wudaoying Hutong Spanish restaurant Saffron have come up with for their unique paella delivery service, Saffron To Go.

Saffron has been rightly famous for its authentic take on paella for many years and the delivery incarnation upholds their high standards. After ordering via their phone hotline (delivery is available within three kilometers of their Galaxy Soho address, if you are further away, please consult their team), the Spanish paella (RMB 299) arrives promptly, in stylish packaging, with more than enough to feed three to four hungry diners. The paella itself has a pleasant oceanic flavor and the seafood – prawns, scallops, squid, and mussels – avoids being overcooked despite its trip in the heatproof delivery container. 

Side dishes mostly stick with the Spanish theme, but include some forays into fusion, such as the roast cod with miso (RMB 86) and the spicy chicken wings (RMB 58). However, our favorite of the dishes were the good value potato tortilla (RMB 38) and Mediterranean roasted eggplant (RMB 38).
