Finally a near by Indian restaurant that is actually great! We have gone there twice in the past few weeks and both times the food was great. My wife being from India is always craving it but there was nothing close by that we liked until this place came along.

I will preface this review by saying that I am generally not a fan of Indian food. My wife, however is, so she convinced me to try it one more time. Red Saffron is an unassuming restaurant, located in a strip mall in Spotswood. After sitting down, we the friendly staff quickly presented a menu and took our beverage orders. When they returned with our drinks, they answered our many questions about several of the dishes and told us they could make the dishes any way we liked from mild to screamingly spicy. I chose to try Samosas for an appetizer followed by Butter Chicken, Nicchi, who has food allergies, decided to try a more savory chicken dish. The food was cooked to order, served hot, and delicious. The owner came out a few minutes after we started eating to ask how everything was and tell us a little about himself and his establishment. I could go on with minute details for some time, but I will sum up our experience. The food is quite good and reasonably priced, the restaurant is clean and well lit, although pretty spartan, and the staff and owners are very willing to accommodate requests for food allergies.

I went to order from Red Saffron last night and not only did I get a very rude person on the phone. I order Indian food all the time so I guess pronouncing the order properly was too much for them to understand. The meals I was ordering were all around $10 each. I was then asked if I wanted rice. What Indian meal doesn’t come with rice? I was told rice was an extra $2.99 on top of the $10 meal and $1.5-2 naan that is ridiculous. I was told it was written on the menu I looked over the menu several times I didn’t see Rice on the menu nor that the meals didn’t come with rice. I was really excited and wanting to try this place out because I love Indian food so much and order minimum of 2 times per week. I went to cancel the order and said thank you but I will be ordering from somewhere else and the response I got was horrible “where else you going to order from”. There are other Indian restaurants close by that have amazing food for very good prices. I will not frequent this restaurant at all. I do not care how close it is to my house. Such a shame being that I order so often! Red Saffron it was your loss.

We catered for the second time from Red Saffron for the New Year eve party.The experience was wonderful, cost reasonable less than $300 for 25 people with a good variety. We ordered Indian Pizza which was a big hit and must try if you like a flavorful Pizza. For the main course we ordered Chinese which was delicious, in good quantity. Looking forward to ordering again in the future.

I personally love this place and food here . But I would like to say that the veg biriyani I had first time it blow my mind, but I was disappointed having it second time because it was no way like the way I had earlier . I still have no regrets coming here just an suggestion to the owner that please update your opening timing and add your schedule of the day if any . Because my last experience was not good, we came all the way from north jersey based on your web timings , while reaching we found that you serving only take away as some catering work was going on . Still you made us sit and eat their , but the issue was chef kept us waiting for long and also most of the food was not available. So my advice is only this that please keep your schedules updated online so that people can come accordingly.

Ah the food was delicious! We shared two veggie samosas (they’re the large ones), bhindi masala, and the murg tikka masala with rice and naan. Between the two of us we ate until we were stuffed and still had leftovers to bring home. The staff was so friendly and the owner actually came out from the kitchen to make a helpful suggestion after our order was taken. I love Indian food and I’m excited to see a restaurant has opened up in town. Can’t wait to go back.

We tried Red Saffron in Spotswood and it was delicious! The service was also welcoming–the owner and the chef greeted us, checked on us multiple times, modified my dish based on my preferences, and explained items on the menu.

Food is fantastic with a flavorful spice. We’ll be going there frequently. Staff & hosts are friendly & will explain each dish, making it easy to make your selection. The naan was delicious. The Indian tea was the best.

We just ordered for the first time tonight! The food was delicious! We had the veggie pakora, chicken tikka masala, fish curry and naan. (Garlic and plain) I’m so glad I have leftover so I can eat it again tomorrow! Definitely try it out! The owners were delightful and extremely helpful! We even called to thank them for the deliciousness!
