We are so lucky to have Saffron in Lamorinda. The food is delicious, flavorful, clean ingredients and authentic. Everything is made with so much love. This is the spot to get your dose of Indian food or catering for parties. Full of comminity!!!!! I went to a rad Diwali party at Saffron and left high on life.

We have been going to Saffron for a few years now. Their food is very flavorful and consistently good quality. They always match the spice level we tell them. You should try their biriyanis (Kashmiri, mutton, chicken), mutton samosas, pakoras, Bengan Bertha and malai kofta. Nans are great especially garlic. Good ambiance and good service. Highly recommend.

Ordered mixed vegetables. They delivered bengan Bharta. Ordered two orders of onion kulcha to take out after we were done with meals. Took them forever to pack the Kulchas. Had a 2 year old and a five year old. Was extremely difficult to manage. And it was not like they were busy. the restaurant was practically empty only two other tables occupied. They already had their food delivered. All the waiters were standing in front of the kitchen and the cook talking to them. On the top of it all it was super expensive and food was so so both in taste and quantity. Utterly disappointing.

Came across Saffron by accident as Indian food is my daughter's favorite and she was having a bit of a tough day. I ordered her favorite , chicken rolls Massala and to my surprise it was ready within literally a few minutes. The restaurant was super busy outside in this hot day as it has a lovely patio. Staff were super welcoming and efficient. However eventhough the sauce was lovely the chicken had a rubbery (dare I say defrosted) texture. A disappointment after so many positive signs.
Excellent food good service. Biriyani is normally cooked and chicken is added at the end to make it chicken biriyani. But here it was cooked with - the right way. Only mutter paneer was sweet to our taste. Prices were reasonable

I recently dined at an Indian restaurant that left a lasting impression. The warm hospitality, charming ambiance, and extensive menu were remarkable. The vegetable samosas were crispy and flavorful, accompanied by delicious chutneys. The butter chicken with garlic naan was a harmonious blend of tangy and creamy flavors. Other dishes like palak paneer, lamb biryani, and chicken tikka masala were equally impressive, showcasing diverse regional influences. Impeccable service and a captivating ambiance enhanced the dining experience. This restaurant offers an authentic and exceptional journey through Indian flavors. Highly recommended!

SAFFRON Indian Restaurant & Bar is a must-visit for Indian cuisine enthusiasts. Welcoming staff, authentic ambiance, and a diverse menu of mouthwatering dishes make this place standout. The butter chicken was creamy and perfectly spiced, and the innovative cocktail menu offered a fresh twist to traditional Indian flavors. High-quality dining without breaking the bank - highly recommend!

My experience at the SAFFRON Indian Restaurant & Bar was nothing short of extraordinary.Right from the moment we stepped in, we were welcomed by the friendly staff who were eager to ensure we had a memorable dining experience. The rich and elegant decor, with its warm hues and tasteful Indian artefacts, sets an authentic ambience, perfect for an intimate dinner or a celebration with friends.The menu was extensive, offering a range of dishes from various regions of India, each described in a way that made selection an exciting exploration of its own. We were pleased to find both vegetarian and non-vegetarian options, along with a variety of vegan and gluten-free dishes.We started our meal with samosas and paneer tikka - both dishes were superb, filled with flavor, and beautifully presented. For the main course, we had the butter chicken and lamb biryani. The butter chicken was creamy and rich, with the right balance of sweetness and spice. The lamb in the biryani was tender and the rice fragrant, both expertly spiced.But it was the dessert that stole the show - the gulab jamun was soft, sweet, and served warm, making for a perfect end to our meal.The bar also deserves special mention. The cocktail menu is creative, with drinks inspired by Indian flavors. We tried the Mango Lassi Martini and it was a delightful fusion of traditional taste with a modern twist.Overall, the SAFFRON Indian Restaurant & Bar provides an excellent combination of rich, authentic Indian cuisine with a modern, stylish setting. It is not just a meal, but a complete sensory journey that I highly recommend to any food lover looking for a unique and satisfying dining experience. The prices are reasonable for the quality and portions you receive, making it a must-visit location for anyone who loves Indian cuisine or is keen to try it.Looking forward to my next visit already!
