its one of the worst resturant
We have come to Saffron now called "Rasa" a lot but this is the first time I have been disappointed or since their inception to "Rasa". Apps were good but Entres were disappointing. We had a butter chicken and Malai paneer curry. Both of them had 2 pieces of chicken/paneer with heavy taste on tomato paste. They call it a Thali style meaning single person orders own entree. This concept didn't sit with us as this is not a Michelin star restaurant and they basically balanced out the portions with a side of salad and rice. Unfortunately Saffron is not what it used to be and this new management is trying to make it into something like Michelin star which will not go right because of this change. As much I loved Saffron before, I would not come here to Rasa

Came for a nice work lunch and was absolutely blown away. The decor is beautiful and it really feels like they've paid attention to every detail. The service was quick and attentive and the food was fantastic. Got the Shepard's Dosa with spiced minced lamb. It was a perfect size for lunch with many dipping sauces. You could really taste the complexity of the spices and it is no surprise that this place has a Michelin star. This is a great gem in Burlingame!

We have been here for the first time and we had very high expectations on this place.Unfortunately the food was below average for the high prices. Seasonal vegetable curry doesn’t even tasted like a curry just half boiled vegetables with bland stew.

Saffron Burlingame has quickly become a local favorite, offering a delightful culinary journey through the vibrant streets of Bombay. Their menu is a treasure trove of authentic Indian dishes, each one a testament to the restaurant's dedication to flavor and tradition.
One of the standout dishes is the mind-blowing Bombay Sliders. These bite-sized delights are a perfect fusion of savory and sweet, with juicy lamb patties, caramelized onions, and a dollop of tangy chutney. The sliders are served on soft, fluffy buns that complement the rich flavors beautifully.
For those seeking a more classic Indian experience, the dosas are a must-try. The Old Madras Dosa is a crisp and thin crepe filled with a flavorful potato masala. It's a classic combination that never disappoints. If you're feeling adventurous, the Genovese Basil Dosa is a unique twist on the traditional recipe, featuring basil pesto and mozzarella cheese. It's a delightful fusion of Indian and Italian flavors that will leave you wanting more.
The atmosphere at Saffron Burlingame is warm and inviting, making it the perfect spot for a casual meal with friends or family. The service is friendly and attentive, ensuring that every guest feels welcome. Whether you're a seasoned Indian food lover or new to the cuisine, Saffron Burlingame is sure to impress.

Excellent and attentive service. We were a group with a few dietary restrictions, somewhat difficult to accommodate (Jain). That said, they did their best, unfortunately just didn't have too many options on the menu that could work for some of us. We really enjoyed the drink coolers. That said the food was alright, although we weren't blown away by it. Given they position themselves for the Michelin crowd, it was pricey .. at par with other similar establishments. Perhaps we walked in with high expectations, maybe we ought to ask for the chef's specialty, the next time we come! Thank you Saffron, we'll see you next time.

Cauliflower starter was good. Bombay slider and mango lassi were average. Malai paneer was quite bad. Kofta paneer was okayish. Malabar parantha and garlic naan were below average. Coconut mango desert was quite bad. Semolina vanilla dessert was decent
The service was exceptional. Food was pretty good and the variety of options is definitely a plus. We didn't have to wait too long for the food to come out, despite it being a busy weekend.
