My 4 year old nephew ranks this place a 16/5. My other 5 year old nephew says it’s a “110” and Indian food is his favorite food. He’s a butter chicken expert. Based on these very in depth reviews, you have to try this place.

Tonight dinner was great. I had the Chicken 69, Naan and Samosas. My friend had the butter chicken. The food was ready for pick up earlier than estimated. Thank you for the delicious food and big smile every time I see the owner upfront. 🙂

With a name like Saffron, the most exotic spice in the world, this Indian establishment lives up to its credibility as a provider of excellent fare, considerate service and an interior décor that really welcomes one to the beauty of the culture. Arriving at lunch time, a friend and I were granted a wonderful seating arrangement next to the windows with a misty white, but still pleasant, cool atmosphere outside. The pleasant aroma of exotic spices was detected upon first entering and the restaurant was richly decorated with curtains and artwork that reflected India’s fascinating culture and history. Our host was a wonderful lady who was very observant to make sure our dining utensils were clean and suitable for customers. Water was graciously provided at required intervals by a gentleman (assuming to be either a co-host or one of the cooks when available to assist). The menu had a great selection, including lunch specials that included a little of many available, plus a wonderful custom mix of choosing a curry (mild, medium, or very spicy) with a second choice of solids including chicken, lamb, and even paneer cheese, plus a few varieties of rice such as saffron, per the restaurant’s name. Everything was fresh and hot upon arrival, and it made hasty dining almost a necessity so food wouldn’t become cold, but everything tasted so good and it brought ecstasy to this one’s heart. Almost nothing was left over by the time my companion and I were finished, and we departed with a feeling of perfect satisfaction and gratitude to the business for their most excellent service. I thank our hosts and the kitchen staff for their gracious performance in providing such wonderful fare and a dining experience that I hope this review will provide them with many more customers. I wish Saffron the best of success in business, prosperity and the pleasant satisfaction unto the staff for their enjoyable service, onwards and upwards.

The Report
This place is one of my favorite spots for Indian cuisine! Five stars on every aspect! Food quality is excellent and the portions are very generous! Prices are very fair for what you get and there is yet to try an item on the menu that has disappointed. This spot is perfect for a date night, family night or even going solo. The restaurant is very nicely decorated with a nice dim lighting. Very well put together with relaxing vibes. Looking for a cocktail or beer? This is the spot! The bartender (Dan) can fix you up a delicious drink or if you are a beer type of person, I recommend the Taj Mahal. Plenty of parking and the staff is very friendly! Oh one last thing, if you know someone that is all tough and can handle crazy spicy, they have a spicy challenge. I personally haven’t tried it as I usually get my food “very spicy”(which is not the most spicy option) and you better believe Im . I know my limits so don’t think I’ll be trying the challenge anytime soon, just thought I should share that little info.

Currently accepts Axxess card. Delicious food, charming setting, and friendly service. Had the mango curry with paneer ($13) and it was delicious–sweet and refreshingly unique. Also had the vindaloo curry with chicken ($14) which is not bad. There is also combination plates, happy hour, and a curry challenge.

After a long day of travel we decide to eat in rather than go out. That way we could get our drink on and not have anyone drive compromised – wise decision.
