" I visited Saffron with my parents for a special occasion, and it did not disappoint! The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and our table was spacious. The Bombay sliders were absolutely scrumptious—the flavors were phenomenal! My dad loved the chicken biryani, however, I felt the portion size of the mains could be improved for the price point. Service was outstanding, staff was very friendly and helped us select the best dishes! Overall, a recommended spot for a nice meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant simply blew my expectations apart! The appetizers set the stage with flavor fireworks—especially the Paneer Tikka, which was grilled to perfection. The main courses were delightful, but I felt the portion sizes lean a bit small for the price you’re paying. The staff were delightful, and there was a wonderful vibe in the restaurant. I’m looking forward to experiencing more of the menu on my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes based on the reviews but left feeling underwhelmed. The food was good, but the flavors weren't as pronounced as I had hoped. I tried the dosas and found them decent, but not extraordinary. The atmosphere felt casual and lively which I enjoyed. The service staff were attentive, but I felt rushed to order. I think there are better Indian restaurants in this price range that offer more exciting dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I had a delightful evening at Saffron. We enjoyed well-prepared dishes, each showcasing the Chef’s skill in balancing spices. The service was friendly, but I was slightly annoyed by waiting time for our drinks. However, once we got seated, the vibe was welcoming and the decor was eye-catching. I felt the dishes could use slightly larger portions, especially the appetizers. Overall, I would recommend Saffron to anyone looking for quality Indian food. " (*Curated Review*)

" Saffron is a fusion of traditional Indian flavors with a contemporary vibe. I visited for lunch and was happily surprised by the freshness of each dish. The masala dosa was crispy and flavorful! The servers were incredibly professional and made the experience enjoyable. Portions were smaller for the price, but given that the quality of ingredients were top-notch, I can forgive that. Overall, a fantastic restaurant to visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointing experience. My meal was decent but expected more considering the Michelin star. The entrees weren't particularly memorable; my butter chicken tasted somewhat bland. Service was decent but not outstanding, given the hype. On a positive note, the decor of the restaurant is beautiful and well thought out. Not sure if I'll return, as I think there are better Indian restaurants in the area that deliver on flavor and atmosphere. " (*Curated Review*)

" Arrived for a family celebration and the experience was fantastic! The wait staff treated us like royalty. The standout dish was the butter chicken; it was rich and just the right amount of spicy, and the accompanying naan was soft and fresh. One little downside was the dessert; I felt the price was a little high for the portion served. Nonetheless, we left feeling satisfied and happy. Would recommend Saffron to anyone looking for great Indian food! " (*Curated Review*)
