Came in to dine at 12:14PM and was told it’s “to go only”, with tables setup and no one in the dining room.

This place was gross! The food is cross contaminated.
Ate here for the buffet and take out.
Was not impressed by the unprofessionalism.

I love India cuisine and have had my fare share but this place left much to be desired. It was bland and lacked any sort of flavor. The garlic naan was incredibly dense and also lacked any sort of flavor at all. The veggies in the dish tasted gross and it all had a musty taste to it. Not impressed at all and won’t be recommending it to anyone let alone eating here again. Not like any other Indian cuisine I’ve had that normally is rich and delicious.

lovely friend

We tried this place as it was near to our hotel at airport . However when we visited there’s no one to receive ( this is dinner time). So we had to pick another restaurant.. may be food is good.. not sure

Have been here multiple times before and was great, BUT this time was not good. Tandoori mixed grill was soo in dry I left most of it. Rice was barely warm. I guess this was our last time !

What a random decision to eat here and check out their weekend Buffet. I’m SO surprised because they had awesome Indian food. Andrea and Vijay who took care of guests were so warm, friendly and excellent hosts. I would come back just for their hospitality. The quality and number of dishes were perfect. Food came out hot and the cost is very affordable!
Do check them out!!

Lamb Tikka, Gobi Manchurian, Garlic Naan and Chai Tea. All of it made from scratch, authentic and delicious. Went there on a lunch break. The food was made to order. It was prepared quickly and the service was excellent. Simple, not a lot of frills location but the food is excellent and the prices are great. You just don’t get food this authentic at these prices anywhere else. I would highly highly recommend it.

This is my second time eating at this restaurant, and the host(Andria) was very kind and welcoming. I didn't have to wait long for my food as I ordered it to go. As for the tipping goes, she just charged me for the food, I had to ask if I could tip. I'm no expert on food quality by any means, but I would definitely order from here again. I ordered the "Butter Chicken," and they were not shy on the chicken. Overall, the host was kind, the 15 minutes I waited for my food was pleasant, and the food was great.

The restaurant is really cute, colorful, and well decorated, but it doesn’t even come close to making up for the piss poor food. This restaurant is connected to the Ramada inn where we were staying, and we LOVE Indian food, so naturally, we went. Unfortunately I ended up being so disappointed at how below par this place was. The hostess was incredibly snippy from the beginning and continued to get even MEANER (scoffing and rolling eyes at us and dramatically stomping around when I asked if our entree came with rice, and if I could put a second order for rice down when I found out it didn’t) during the wait for our food despite our 20% tip on a TAKEOUT order (which I 100% regret). When we brought the food back to our room we found that the mulligatawny soup container was less than half full (and leaking everywhere) and that the tandoori chicken was INSANELY dry (seriously THE DRIEST chicken I’ve EVER had). Additionally, the chicken container was like a quarter full of just ornamental lettuce and a GIANT lemon wedge just to take up space. For the price we paid it was just ridiculous. The flavor on both the soup and the chicken was incredibly bland and had zero spice to it. The soup also had an unpleasant gritty texture unlike any soup either of us had ever tried. If you’re looking for an authentic—or even pleasant—Indian dining experience, pass on Saffron.

The food was great. I walked in with the intention of looking at menu and maybe ordering later in the evening , it was 1:00. I was greated by a wonderful woman Andrea she was very informative on the dishes, great attitude and just a great person to talk with for just little time I was there. I ordered take out and it was Chicken Chilly w/ Rice and Garlic Naan. I am very familiar with cooking Indian Cuisine and this was great. Chicken was tender, the vegetables cooked just right, not to over board still had that little crunch to it. It wasn't to spicy , just right and the sauce was great for dipping the naan. Food was was steaming hot everything was great. This was my first time here and it wont be my last , I highly recommend it. For $17 absolutely well worth it, I thought the price was perfect for what I ordered.
