Great authentic food.
Came through Saffron Street for dinner after work in the Loop and it was a solid move. I got the butter chicken, garlic naan, and basmati rice. Chicken was creamy, well spiced, and the naan came out fresh and fluffy. Service was quick and everyone was cool without hovering. Spot’s got a nice chill feel inside too. Definitely one of my go-to Indian spots downtown now.
I ordered the Green Chili Beef which came cumin rice and pickled Fresno chili. This was so good and flavorful. The best Indian food I’ve had in a long time. Love it!!!

Saffron Street offers a quick and unique lunch experience in the loop with a rotating menu of inspired 'sandwich' items. The small curated menu features many vegetarian options and freshly made sauces daily. Some items may sell out toward the end of the day, but the friendly staff helps to mix and match available options. The Indian flavors are bold and utterly delicious, with freshly fried paneer and hazelnut sauce adding a special touch. Customers have enjoyed dishes like Butter Chicken Bowl with garlic naan, green chili beef bowl, and the Saag Bowl with chicken and paneer, all showcasing fresh ingredients and well-layered flavors. The Keralan Rice Bowl is noted for its tasty cumin rice, while the Chilli Chicken offers a nice spicy flavor. Masala fries are a must-have, especially with the addictive ginger pickle mayo dip. The spot has a casual vibe, quick service, and a welcoming atmosphere, making it a great place for a flavorful and filling meal in the city, though some wish for extended hours.
