The menu features a variety of flavors, with recommended dishes including the Butter Lamb, Chicken Pakora, Vindaloo, and Palak Paneer. Many customers appreciate the friendly staff who are glad to explain menu items and accommodate dietary needs, especially for gluten-free diners. The restaurant has a warm atmosphere and a clean environment that makes guests feel comfortable. The food is often praised for its authentic Indian taste, with dishes like the Butter Chicken being thick, creamy, and full of flavor. The Beef Vindaloo is known for its spicy kick and bursting spices, appealing to those who enjoy more heat. Some dishes can be quite saucey and can be made Indian hot or dialed down for sensitive stomachs, but even without the hot spices, the meals remain delicious. The restaurant offers plentiful vegetarian options, and customers are encouraged to inform staff about dietary restrictions. The indoor dining area is quiet, ensuring timely service, and the large flex space adjoining the dining room is ideal for hosting events or parties. Many visitors find their experience consistently satisfying and flavorful, making Saffron Bistro a popular choice from Strathmore to Calgary. The portions are generous, and customers often find themselves ordering extra to take home. Its proximity to Calgary makes it a well-worth visit for those seeking authentic Indian cuisine in a pleasant setting.
