The recipe was easy to follow and the saffron rice turned out great! The only thing I would change is to add a bit more salt. Overall, I'm very happy with this recipe.

This saffron rice was a disappointment. The saffron flavor was barely noticeable and the rice was overcooked and mushy. I won't be making this recipe again.

I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of saffron, but I'm glad I did! The saffron flavor was very subtle and it really complemented the rice. The texture was also perfect - fluffy and light. Will definitely be making this

So easy to make and so delicious! I used basmati rice and it turned out perfectly. The saffron added a beautiful golden color and a lovely aroma. Will definitely be making this again soon.

I've tried many saffron rice recipes, but this one is by far the best. The rice was perfectly cooked and the saffron flavor was subtle yet distinct. Highly recommend!

This saffron rice turned out amazing! The flavor was fragrant and the texture was fluffy and soft. I added a few extra saffron threads for even more color and aroma. Definitely a keeper recipe.
