“ so this is a new spot that just recently opened up; it use to be an italian restaurant, but the closed down due to covid. this place seems really nice and the food was great (spicy as hell) and I would definitely recommend, and they also have a buffet as well. ”
“ Have been there before - excellent food and also great cocktails! Decided to come in for the buffet and was very glad I did. There were a number of veg and non veg dishes, including a goat curry. The chicken jalfreze was outstanding! There was plenty of rice and naan to accompany the curries along with kheer for dessert. I'd guess they are predominantly northern Indian, as there were a few Indo-Chinese options, including fried rice and chili chicken. A word of caution: while most dishes are medium, some are rather spicy. If you tend to avoid anything with three or more chilis icons after the name, maybe best to ask what dishes to try sparingly. It would be helpful if they added some chili stickers to the food labels. I went a bit late, so there weren't many people there - but it was well staffed and the atmosphere was pleasant. Some Indian music in the background and the sound of people talking. There aren't many Indian buffets left in the area for lunch - but even if there were, the quality of the food would have me coming back. The cost was $20, which seemed quite fair to me. It's a few bucks more than you'd spend at a chain restaurant for about 10X better food. ”
“ I got door dash delivery of goat vindaloo. The goat was tender and didn't have a ton of fatty pieces. The couple of fattier pieces that were there were actually rendered and delicious to eat. Super flavorful and rice was cooked perfectly. My ONLY issue was that I ordered it mild and it was very spicy. Right on the edge of being inedible due to the spice. I eat Indian food regularly so I was aware that even mild has some spiciness level to it, but I had to eat every single bite with some skyr yogurt just to be able to eat it. And I REALLY wanted to eat it because of how delicious it was. ”
“ We had a soup, a dragon (paneer) appetizers, malai kebab, malai kofta and chola bhatura. Chola bhatura was superb , malai kebab and malai kofta were great as well. Soup was not to our taste, and panner appetizers was not best either. Good part was host came to our table and asked us how everything was. He was gracious to accept that soup and appetizers were not best to our taste and suggested alternative options. He even took soup out of our bill. Overall it was a good experience and next time I am going to ask host for suggestions. ”
“ We just had takeout and it was delicious. It was easy to order from the menu online. We tend to not prefer spicy food, so it was nice to be able to order mild spice levels. The portions were good sizes. Everything was incredibly flavorful. All the meats were perfectly cooked- juicy and tender. The order was ready to pick up when they said it would be. We were very happy with everything and will definitely be going back. Highly recommended. ”
“ Good service, yummy food, nice clean and spacious. Only reason not a 5 star is because the food took a bit too long to come out. Would go back again. ”
“ I did takeout about two weeks after Saffron opened and got to familiarize myself with the menu and the business by speaking with the bar server. Very pleasant server and the atmosphere was nice and quiet. While waiting for the order to be fulfilled, I learned that buffet was not in the early stage of implementation, but under consideration a few months after opening. Food was very good with consistent quality. I did spend over $100 for takeout, but it was worth it. I took home all the fixins and typical selections we make when dining at Indian restaurants. Will visit Saffron again, hopefully the buffet station will be implemented as well. Parking fits the bill. ”
“ Very friendly staff. Ordered cheese Naan, mixed pakara, a mango lasso, and a house dish: Chingari w/ lamb. Everything was delicious. The Chingari reminded me of Moroccan flavors, especially with cinnamon ever present. Definitely coming back! ”
