" This restaurant is a hidden gem! Though it's small, it has a warm and welcoming atmosphere. I tried their lamb curry, which was one of the best I have ever tasted; very tender and flavorful! The service was friendly, and they attended to us quickly, ensuring we had everything we needed. I would definitely recommend Saffron to any Indian food lover looking for authentic flavors and generous portions. My only suggestion is perhaps adding a few more vegetarian options to the menu, but overall, an excellent experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have eaten at many Indian restaurants and I can say Saffron stands out for its incredible authenticity. The tandoori chicken was flavorful and juicy, with the perfect blend of spices. The service was wonderful; our waiter was very attentive and made great recommendations. I particularly enjoyed the vegetable biryani, which had generous portions and a great taste. While the interior could use a bit of a refresh, it was clean and pleasant enough for dining. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking to savor authentic Indian cuisine!
