“First time going here - and I'm so glad I did! I was on my way home from the airport and decided to try a new restaurant. I read some reviews and ended up here. The place is clean (although dark and had a strange smell at first) and the floor was a bit slippery (maybe just waxed?). It was around 3 or 4 in the afternoon on Fri and wasn't very crowded, a few people. We were greeted warmly by the lady in the front and promptly seated. We were promptly given those thin round crunchy things (don't know the name) with several sauces, which was good. We loved the green sauce. We ordered lamb biryani and chicken tikka masala with garlic naan, and a mango lassi. It took maybe 15 mins to get our food Everything was DELICIOUS!!! My husband ordered medium spice on the lamb and it was a little too spicy for him, he will probably take it down a notch next time. I had mild on the chicken tikka masala and I loved it. The rice was nice and fresh and the mango Lassi was creamy. The yogurt was even great! The naan was not too garlicy and cooked just right. Portions were good, I brought some home and it was just as good the second day. Service was great, they walked by frequently and brought things out when requested, were not intrusive but attentive, and cleared our table when we were finished. They did take a little long to bring the check. It's been 4 days since I went and i haven't stopped thinking about this place. I will be returning soon!“
“This is one of the best Indian Restaurants in Monmouth County. From the moment you walk in to the moment you pay for the bill, the staff here take such amazing care of you as if you are one of their own. The food is also of such impeccable quality-the staff here really put the time, effort, and care to go above and beyond with preparing their dishes. This place is a must see and eat for anyone who has a liking for Indian food!“
“Paneer Tika masala was average, dal tadka was not flavor full at all. And kadhai chicken was also mid. The service was really poor by Manjuli but the owner is very nice and respectful. The service was poor because when the food came it was very cold and not good.“
“I decided to go out for Indian and picked this place. The food is absolutely INCREDIBLE. We started with a few appetizers. Chicken samosas, vegetable spring rolls and paneer pakoda . They were excellent! Everything came out hot and fresh! For our entrees we desired to go with goat Tikka marsala, butter chicken marsala and chicken jalfrezi. The goat was tender and succulent. The butter chicken was delicious and creamy. We paired that with garlic naan and roti. It also comes with rice. The rice was soft and fluffy absolutely delicious just on its own! The waiter was super friendly and helpful, even suggesting items we might like to try in the future. Don't forget to treat yourself to a Mango lasssi! I will absolutely be back. If you are looking for an intimate local restaurant for top notch Indian cuisine! I highly recommend you try this place for yourself!“
“We had wanted to try Saffron for a while and when we saw they were participating in restaurant week we went. It did not disappoint. Service was excellent and the food outstanding. We had the crispy cauliflower and lamb tart to start. Both dishes were perfectly seasoned and the cauliflower was definitely crispy. The saffron butter chicken and the prawns narkel were our entree. Prawns were large and cooked to perfection and the chicken was moist and juicy Both sauces were so well spiced. We will definitely return.“
“This is a local favorite for good Indian food. We've been here twice and both times the food, and service were consistently excellent.The food has always been tasty and authentic. One time we ate meat dishes, the 2nd time (yesterday) vegetarian dishes. Yesterday we enjoyed Chana masala, tofu curry and garlic naan. The garlic naan was on point, and the meal was excellent. The menu has a large selection of vegetarian options.The service here is great. We had our waters consistently filled and if we needed anything, the server was quick to accommodate.We noticed many people coming in for pickup orders. The location is a little odd, being in a strip mall with a lot of vacancies, you'll find the restaurant nestled in a corner behind a building so it isn't viewable from the road. I would consider this a hidden gem.“
“Had the chef’s special …Chicken Pot Pie. It was outstanding!! Full of chicken and vegetables and this delicious sauce. I was a little concerned that the crust was thick but I had it with the sauce…it was perfect. Samosas were very flavorful as well. The chef even gave me a tasting of his pistachio cheesecake while I waited. It was to die for!! I will definitely be eating there again. You should too!!“
