Place is awesome! Good traditional Indian food. If you are new to Indian cuisine they will help you. Our server Mayuresh was very helpful and knowledgeable. I would also recommend getting the dessert gulab jamun, it is very good!I would definitely go back and recommend.

Saffron is hands down the best Indian food around. My family and I get dinner here at least once a month. Mohammed and Dhangi are super accommodating and friendly.We recently dined with friends that never had Indian food before (and is a picky eater) and Mohammed listed to what their preferences were and recommended meals. There were 6 of us total, all of us got something different for dinner and shared- everything was delicious!It is BYOB which is amazing and there is a liquor store across the street. You do not feel rushed to order, eat and leave. It is lovely being able to sit and have a good conversation with a glass of wine over some delicious food.You will not be disappointed
Wait staff was terrible, got sat by someone who was basically incompetent, and was rushed out, with two waiters coming over every 5 seconds asking if we were finished. Our waitress was rude and clearly annoyed. So unprofessional. Aarzu is much better than this establishment, and the wait staff is more respectful there. Waste of my time and money, what a terrible experience.

Visited for a date night and really liked the ambiance and the service. We tried Chicken 65, Ragda Patties, Chicken Badami Korma, and Garlic and Chili Naan. Everything tasted good, but nothing was outstanding enough to make us want to come back just for the food. We’ve had better Indian cuisine elsewhere. Glad we tried it, but probably won’t return.
An overall good meal with excellent, and I mean excellent customer service and staff members. I enjoyed the Chana saag, and eggplant Burta I had here tonight. They serve a tasty chickpea flour cracker with some sauces for free with your meals, which I also found enjoyable. I was really impressed by the quality of the staff members. I asked for something to be made that was not on the menu and they were kind enough to accommodate and the dish came out good as well. Definitely would come back and suggest to others to try out

Excellent food and choices , very attentive service , nice atmosphere & fair prices for meals and drinks
Such a wonderful experience! The portions are deceiving - it is so much food! Everything was delicious and they are SO accommodating with food allergies or dietary restrictions. The owner and staff were incredibly kind and friendly. The atmosphere is chic yet comfortable. The prices were also super reasonable for how much food you get. I highly recommend!Vegetarian options: Huge vegetarian menu and almost everything is able to be made veganDietary restrictions: Almost everything is able to be made vegan and/or dairy free

First, I must say the service was exceptional. Very nice hostess. But, sadly the food was somewhat disappointing. Our dishes were lacking in both taste and serving temperature. The samosas arrived cold, saag was too salty and tasted like it had way too much butter. Curries were also weak in spice and flavor. There was basically no depth to any of the dishes we tried. Maybe the chef needs to actually taste the food to understand what's missing here.
