" I made a stop at Saffron Spice to satisfy my samosa craving. Although I found the food delicious, there was a slight inconvenience with how busy the place got. The staff maintained their good attitude through the rush. I couldn’t ask for a better snack. I shall return on my next trip! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had an unexpected experience at Saffron Spice the other day. I ordered a lamb curry that completely missed the mark. The lamb was chewy, and the sauce lacked depth, making it one of the most underwhelming meals I've had. However, the samosas were impressive and saved the meal. I would recommend offloading the curry for their well-prepared appetizers instead. " (*Curated Review*)

" I stopped by Saffron Spice while visiting Seattle and thank goodness I did! The samosas were irresistibly good, with crisp pastry and a flavorful filling that had just the right amount of spice. The owner, originally from Goa, genuinely shares a taste of home. The overall vibe is casual yet warm. I can’t wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" Saffron Spice provides a vibrant touch of Indian food at Pike Place. I enjoyed their butter chicken, but it was a bit too sweet for my taste. The ambiance is friendly, and the staff is really accommodating. I especially liked the outdoor seating option. I hope they work on balancing flavors more in future visits. " (*Curated Review*)

" After reading many positive reviews, I decided to give Saffron Spice a try. Unfortunately, I was quite disappointed. The samosas tasted stale, and the service was lackluster. I had high hopes, but I think I may have visited on an off day. I will return to see if they can redeem themselves. " (*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*)
