Today at June 20th, 2024- I paid $75 for breakfast for my guests before they were leaving for airport. All the paranthas were burnt and it was very shameful to have such high price for the items you sell and offer such a poor or cheap quality food. We gave ... them enough tine to prepare the food and after we complained they should have offered refund or partial credit but no that was not something that was offered to us. Poor my guests they started eating and said it is Ok as they have to leave for their flight. Sheer disappointment from the quality and pricing if the food. Regards, Namita Sharma Read more

Tried this place after wifey recommended it to me. The food was good, the service was decent and the ambience was luckily subdued and laid back (unlike other Indian joints with loud bollywood music). If they work more on their food by adding a bit more pizzaz and presentation then ... it will make this restaurant into an exceptionally great one. Read more

We have become regulars diners at Saffron for over a year as this south side restaurant has become one of our go to spots for spicy comfort food. The venue is noticeably polished while this cleanliness standard has been maintained throughout our experience. I will mention I find the venue to ... be brighter than preference due to a personal light sensitivity however, we usually opt for a semi private booth in a slightly dimmer section. The modern interior is perfectly set up for events and get togethers with an open concept design for the majority of the restaurant which includes a lovely bar. While we don't regularly purchase alcohol within this venue they do have a large list of house cocktails at a reasonable price point. We currently have favourite dishes at Saffron that we regularly order being; The Chili Paneer with a substitute of Cauliflower instead of Paneer. As Saffron offers options of spice level to their dishes this crispy cauliflower dish can be ordered mildly spicy with tons of flavor available or a high spice level that will provide a sure kick to your taste buds. I would recommend to order the milder version if you are new to spice. Alongside this we also order The Lamb Curry, this is a regular dish of choice for us anywhere we go and have never been disappointed here no matter the spice level. However, I have personal preference for a medium or higher option of spice level for curries in general and continue this trend here. We have also ordered and enjoyed The Goat Curry as well. A side of basmati coconut rice, gluten free roti and peppermint tea with honey accompanies our meal as this provide a lovely sweet side to our normally spicy dishes. If you do not have any sensitives or allergies I would highly recommend to upgrade specfically to their Garlic Naan ( not pictured ) as this always comes out hot and is the perfect match for any Curry. Seating has always been quick alongside attentive service with short wait times. That being said the wait is always worth it, as we leave with the satisfaction of a full service meal that somehow mananges to also bring us the comfort that is usually only brought to you with home cooking. As always, we look forward to our next visit. Read more
