" On the recommendation of friends, I finally visited Saffron this weekend. The decision was well-deserved! From the appetizer to dessert, every course was delightful. The Chutney Prawns were a highlight; packed with flavor yet balanced well. The dessert selection was also impressive. I had the cardamom mousse; it was light and not too sweet. Overall, a five-star visit; the ambiance was lively but comfortable and the staff were attentive and friendly. " (*Curated Review*)

" I came here with a large group and overall it was a great experience! The service was prompt, and they accommodated our special requests fairly well. The food was tasty but I think we managed to order a bit too many of the same dish—next time I’d like to try their other specialties. The cocktails were also better than expected! If you’re in the mood for solid Indian food in a chic setting, Saffron delivers on that front. " (*Curated Review*)

" We visited this restaurant after hearing rave reviews and were excited about our dining experience. Unfortunately, it fell short in several areas. We felt the dishes lacked the authentic Indian flavors they promised, and the prices were on the higher side. The service was cordial but not remarkable. Overall, I think you'd find better options elsewhere that serve traditional Indian cuisine with more excitement. " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, my meal was lovely but missed that wow factor I was expecting from a Michelin star restaurant. The food was tasty, particularly the chicken curry and garlic naan, but nothing felt particularly special. I can't deny the service was exceptional, with friendly staff who made great recommendations. The decor is sophisticated for a nice casual meal. It's definitely worth trying out, but don't set your hopes too high. " (*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*)

" Saffron is my go-to Indian restaurant! The butter chicken and naan are unrivaled—and the cocktails are worth the splurge. The overall vibe is relaxed yet elegant, making it perfect for celebrations. I love bringing friends here because their menu has something for everyone. The service is consistently friendly and prompt. I'm already planning my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)
