" While Saffron Spice has a solid following, my visit left me feeling underwhelmed. The curry I had was lukewarm, and the samosas, while good, didn’t live up to the rave reviews. The service was fine, but I expected something more remarkable based on what I had heard. I may try again during a busy period to see if that's when they shine. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Saffron Spice was rather mixed. The veggie samosas I ordered were delicious and crunchy, but the mango lassi I had was too sweet to my taste. The service was fine, but it felt a bit chaotic in the small space they have. While I enjoyed the food, I felt it could use a bit of refining in execution. I might come back to try something else. " (*Curated Review*)

" I really enjoyed my meal at Saffron Spice! The samosas had perfect texture and were deliciously spiced. One downside was the slight mess in the dining area but it didn’t detract much from the experience. The staff was friendly and accommodating, ready to take suggestions. Definitely worth checking out! " (*Curated Review*)

" I decided to check out Saffron Spice after hearing so much buzz about it. The samosas did not disappoint – crisp and full of flavor. Service was friendly, and the atmosphere felt lively. I had a chicken wrap that was decent but could have used a bit more seasoning. For a quick bite, it’s definitely worth the stop. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for this place based on all the rave reviews. I ordered the lamb samosas but found them overly greasy and lacking flavor compared to what I expected from Indian cuisine. However, the service was friendly and attentive, making it a mixed bag for me. I think the samosas need work for them to reach the potential everyone raves about. " (*Curated Review*)

" During my last trip to Pike Place Market, I visited Saffron Spice and was blown away by the food. I ordered the chicken tikka masala and the samosas. The flavors were rich and authentic. Sadly, my only criticism was that the service was slow and the place felt a bit cramped. However, the food definitely made it worth the wait. Highly recommended if you're looking for something genuine! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high expectations for Saffron Spice, but my experience was average at best. The veggie samosas were quite good; however, the main course was lacking flavor and presentation. The service was unremarkable too, with the staff seeming overwhelmed. They have potential, but I didn’t get the authentic experience everyone raves about. " (*Curated Review*)
