First off, the plating and presentation of everything is stunning! We had four appetizers and each looked too beautiful to eat. They were ALL the most delicious and flavorful bites!
We also got the lamb, butter paneer, daal makhani, and the jafrani kofta. Each one was amazing! I couldn't pick a favorite. I've eaten at many Indian food places in the Bay Area and this one outdoes all others with flavors, presentation, and service.
Let's talk about the service!! Everyone we interacted with was incredibly friendly, checked in to see how we liked everything, and even brought out a dessert for my dad after hearing it was his birthday. We really loved everyone we met there, especially Romeo who was so attentive and kind!
Make sure to visit here, even if just to share appetizers, it's worth it!

Daal of the Day had 3 or 4 different lentils in the mix this week and was more dense than the lighter and 'gingery' Daal that we normally get, but was also very tasty and good to have a variation. Food is always top quality and flavorful with good size portions. Samosas to start, Daal, Gobi Aloo, Rice and Tandoori Roti made a very satisfying meal as usual. Wait staff are always very attentive, cheerful and helpful whether picking up or eating in.

Great food. I have been here more than 4 times and it’s one of my favorite Bay Area Indian restaurants.
Service is a bit on the slower side. The people are great.
Atmosphere is just perfect. The music is also not too loud.

Have loved Saffron since they opened more than 20 years ago. It does not disappoint. Wonderfully prepared, delicious - lamb curry and lahsooni saag paneer.

The service, the presentation, and the ambiance of the restaurant were all great. Unfortunately the food was pretty bland and not great. The chicken 65 was not a real chicken 65, basically some sort of version of spiced kfc. The lamb curry was short on the portions and lacked flavor and general spice. If you aren’t of Indian descent you’ll probably like this place. If you are it’s a toss up, maybe I just got the wrong dishes.
One of the best tasting North Indian food in the Bay area. Great Service as well. We had their vegetarian thali - which was fabulous. The Dahi aloo puri and the pot of chai was excellent as well

I love that there’s a place like this where you can enjoy such special and delicious food—especially when I’m hanging out with my friends (especially girls). Just eating at a restaurant with flower decorations and pretty artwork on the walls already puts me in a good mood. And on top of that, the food is amazing. If I had to pick one fusion Indian spot, I’d say this is the best one I’ve been to in the Bay Area.

A great place to go for lunch as their lunch deal is quite comprehensive. Do note that the prices for their food are on the more expensive side given the small looking portions but the food is surprisingly filling.
I will say that their ODS Butter Chicken is the best dish we had, but their General Tso Cauliflower has a unique taste. Their Roomali Roti wasn't as good as I expected and would recommend the Naan instead.
Each dish has a great presentation, the plates and napkins look great, and the service is impeccable!

We tried ODS Butter Chicken and Daal Makhani and both were good. I was particularly impressed with the tender, smoky chicken and creamy sauce. However, the sauce could be more intense in flavor. It tasted fine on its own, but felt bland when paired with rice

An upscale Indian restaurant with smallish size entree. The samosa chat and kofta curry were good. But I would say the taste wasn’t anything superior to your regular restaurant.
This is the best Indian food I've ever had!
