" Saffron is fantastic! Each time I visit, I am reminded of the rich, authentic flavors of Indian cuisine. The butter chicken is a must-try; it's creamy with just the right amount of spice. I also appreciate their large portions; I never leave hungry! The service is friendly and prompt. Their ambiance is nothing fancy, but it’s cozy and ideal for enjoying a good meal with friends. I keep coming back for their delicious food! Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for quality Indian food in Guelph. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently had dinner at The Saffron Indian Restaurant after hearing so many great things, and let me tell you, it did not disappoint! As someone who has traveled extensively in India, I can confirm that the flavors here are incredibly authentic. We shared a variety of dishes including the chicken curry, butter chicken, and vegetarian samosas. Each dish was bursting with flavor and made with fresh ingredients. The naan was soft and warm, a perfect complement to the spicy curries. Service was impeccable; we were greeted warmly and attended to promptly. The ambiance, while simple, was cozy and welcoming. This is now my go-to place for Indian food in Guelph! " (*Curated Review*)

" 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!
