Tried this restaurant for dinner.

We ordered vegetable samosas, lamb korma with rice, chicken dahi wala with naan, and a bottle of Bira. Paid $77 for two people, including tip.

Overall, I think there are better Indian restaurants than Saffron. While the dishes were tasty enough, they didn’t quite satisfy us.

Service was just okay, a bit slow, especially for the bottle of beer, which we had to follow up on.

The best Indian buffet! Their dishes are always so yummy and they have the best naan bread and kheer we have ever tasted! This is our favorite place to try different Indian curries and delicacies. Highly recommended!

Edit: The kher made me really sick. It smelled kinda off. I should have known and not eaten.

Very clean restaurant, amazing staff, and good food. The customer service was beyond impeccable. I feel like everyone that works there actually likes working there. And the food is also very good and presented really well. Excellent restaurant if you’re around Vancouver Burnaby.
