" The flavors at Saffron are incredible. I can't believe how fresh and vibrant everything was! I especially loved the dal makhni and the mango lassi. The attention to detail in plating was evident, which really elevated the dining experience. I'll definitely be returning! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently had dinner at Saffron and it was a mixed bag for me. The food was good, but not unique, lacking that special spark. I particularly enjoyed the lamb kebabs; they were succulent. The service however was quite slow, and it felt like we were waiting too long for our orders. Would be happy to return for a casual meal, but expectations managed. " (*Curated Review*)

" A superb dining experience! The lamb biryani was sensational—definitely one of the best I've had! The staff was also very courteous and made sure we had everything we needed. I love that the restaurant has both indoor and outdoor seating, and our table outside was perfect to enjoy the evening weather. I recommend the garlic naan; it’s a great accompaniment to the dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" My friends and I visited Saffron for a casual get-together, and we were very happy. The food was tasty, especially the garlic naan and paneer tikka masala. While the service wasn't the quickest, we enjoyed chatting and laughing at our table. The drinks were wonderful! I would recommend Saffron for laid-back evenings. " (*Curated Review*)

" Unfortunately, my experience was less than satisfactory. I found the food bland and the service inattentive. The naan was chewy and not fresh, and the paneer in my dish tasted packaged. It's a shame because I wanted to give this place a chance. Perhaps I caught them on a bad day? " (*Curated Review*)

" Saffron is my new favorite! My lunch was perfect; I ordered the tandoori chicken and it came sizzling hot with an awesome side of mint chutney that just brings everything to life. I thought the portions were pretty decent, and the prices weren't bad at all considering the quality. If you're in the area, don’t miss this one! " (*Curated Review*)

" Just an average experience. While I liked the butter chicken, I thought the naan was a miss; it was too chewy. The service was fine, nothing extraordinary. The ambiance was nice, a welcoming space. I might come again, perhaps for lunch as it was a bit overpriced for dinner. " (*Curated Review*)
