    The food here is delicious and the service excellent. It does tend to be a little loud because the tables are quite close together.

    We had a wonderful time at Saffron. The atmosphere is cozy and classy. The food was top notch. My husband had the chicken masala and I had the lamb vindaloo. The lamb was melt in your mouth delicious. Drinks, apps, entrees and dessert were top notch. We will be back again!

    Selected a cozy nook on the reservation, the waitress sat us in between tables. Beer was served in a wine glass and extremely flat, ended up with a fly in it and the waitress didn’t mention anything or ask if we needed another one. As the food came out the waitress put the food down on the other side of the table so we had to transfer it each time, not a big issue but just weird. Chicken Kadai was chicken thigh and had load of fat in it, rice was overcooked and chicken korma had no flavor. Server was nice, restaurant is nice, food is poor.

    The server never cleaned off our table, even after we stacked the dirty dishes. She seem more concerned with being on her cell phone and talking to the kitchen then making sure I’m was prepared as we liked.

    Unbelievably, they have no artificial sweetener for iced tea for diabetics. We waited for a long time and what was brought was some kind of syrup, hardly sugar-free. It’s not a show-stopper and the food is very tasty. I put some Splenda in my purse for future visits.

    We sat outside so evaluating the noise level is relative. We were seated promptly and graciously, waiting only a minute or two for our server to bring menus. She explained food items we asked about and was very pleasant. Once our generous portions of food arrived she checked back regularly but was not obtrusive in the least. It was our first visit and we intend to return.

    The food was not bad, but it didn’t have much flavor/seasoning to it; the portions are good, the service was good, but there are other, more reasonably priced Indian restaurants in town with a higher quality of taste. The ambiance was really nice, but having all the seating be velvet isn’t very practical for a restaurant—crumbs and some stains from previous visitors were noticeable on my seating and in other spots around the dining room.

    The mango lassi was excellent, as was our daughter's chicken biryani. Our palak paneer was ordered to be medium low spiciness but it was MUCH hotter than the biryani (which was ordered at medium spiciness).

    My wife and I had an amazing experience during our anniversary dinner. Saffron provided elevated takes on Indian staple dishes, as well as presenting completely unique items. Many things on the menu had familiar names, but all had a high level of attention to detail and were unlike anything we have ever tasted. Each dish was incredibly flavorful, with fresh spices and ingredients plentiful. It is clear that every aspect of the dining experience was intentional and designed to elevate the meal, even down to the side salad and soup. The service was excellent, and we were checked on regularly. The intentionality of the restaurant also translates into their fantastic drink program and the overall ambiance of the space. We started with the beef samosa and spinach artichoke naan (and I cannot stop thinking about that naan). Our main courses were the Lamb Vindaloo and Madrasi Tofu. We finished with an order of assorted Kulfi (ice cream), including pistachio and mango.
