Thoroughly impressed with my first visit to Saffron and I can’t wait to go back. The food is upscale Indian with a creative modern twist. The ambiance is beautifully done chic but not overly fancy by any means. We came in on a whim at 5:30 on a Saturday and got bar seating without reservations- surprisingly because I think this place is usually pretty booked up. The service was impeccable. The food was delicious, well presented and honestly tasted even better than it looked. They also have a unique cocktail menu. I was looking to see how could anyone possibly give this place a poor rating and the first bad rating I saw was someone complaining about the food being too spicy.. like seriously? It’s Indian food. Don’t go out for authentic ethnic food and then expect them to dilute the taste profile to your lack of palate. My son has worked with Michelin star chefs and even he didn’t have anything bad to say about the food here. Enough said.

This place is AMAZING! The staff from the moment we walked in welcomed us. They took time to explain the menu and find drink and food choices that worked for our group. We were a group of 8 so sometimes that’s hard. They we super accommodating and we loved the food and atmosphere. This is the best Indian food and cocktails I have had in awhile. Their attention to detail makes you enjoy your dining experience that much more. I’d recommend this place to anyone traveling through Milwaukee that likes Indian food or is at least interested in trying it: the butter chicken and bao buns are phenomenal!

The food, presentation, atmosphere, and service were AMAZING here! The lamb chop tandoori and butter chicken were our favorites but you really can’t go wrong. I think this is the best Indian restaurant we’ve been to in Wisconsin. Friday evening into the weekend can get very busy so try to reserve in advance on those days if you can!

Such an amazing dining experience! The waiter would always check up to see if everything is good. This is not any Indian food at other restaurants. It’s an upgraded version! Presentation is pleasing and the quality is AMZINGLY DELICIOUS! The meat is cooked to perfection, not too overcook and each curry have its own taste. Smooth, thick and cream the restaurant have great environmental atmosphere. It’s highly recommended 100%

One of the best Indian Restaurants I have been to. Indian Cuisine with a Modern Twist. 10/10 points for taste and 10/10 points for food presentation also. The Chicken Tikka appetizer was so tender, juicy and flavorful. Their Butter Chicken is just out of the world! We also had the Malabar Curry which was amazing. Also not to forget the desserts- simply awesome!

Lovely atmosphere + excellent food! We had the samosa platter, the paneer roulade, 24 carat lamb shank, the garlic naan and fig naan. The fig naan with the paneer was a match made in heaven! Excellent service, gorgeous presentation, and the price is exactly what I would expect for food of this quality and portions of this size. Next time, I think I’ll try the four course tasting, because there was so much I wanted to try!

Very good. Ate dinner on the patio. Service was very good. Food was very flavorful. They have several gluten free options. Including gluten free bread that they fried like traditional naan.
