Saffron Indian Restaurant & Bar is a highly-recommended spot for quality Indian cuisine. The restaurant offers fresh and flavorful dishes, with options like vegetable samosas, chicken tikka kababs with basmati rice, and comforting coconut soup. The garlic chicken pakora has a great flavor, and the paneer tikka masala and mango chicken are solid dishes. The food is served hot and in good portions, with delicious accompanying sauces. The atmosphere is nice, with friendly and warm service, though it can get busy on weekends. The bullet naan is very spicy, and the dhaba style naan is good but not unique. The restaurant is reasonably priced, making it a great choice for those craving Indian food. The chefs at Saffron have been praised for their ability to create dishes that rival those found in traditional Indian cuisine, making it a must-visit for curry lovers and a popular spot for families. Recent visitors have enjoyed the lamb tikka masala and butter chicken, both described as delicious and served in an elegant setting with attentive staff. On a Monday afternoon, the owner went out of his way to prepare a Korma and rice for a customer, sharing insights about Indian spices, which added a warm touch to the experience. The restaurant is known for consistently good service, a cozy yet comfortable atmosphere, and dishes like saag, Peshawari naan, and chicken tikka masala that stand out from other Indian restaurants.
