It is common knowledge that NYC restaurants receive their weekly supplies of fresh meat, fish, and produce o n Tuesdays and Wednesdays of each week, and do their best to exhaust these supplies by the end of the weekend! If not, those of us, on Saturday & Sunday may order and encounter meat & fish that are, obviously, no longer fresh! That has occurred here! My girlfriend and I ordered online and decided to personally pick up the finished product! We ordered, both, chicken and fish curry, and were decidedly bummed to discover gnarled overcooked chicken and burned out fish residue from the old "Chicago Fire"! UNACCEPTABLE...on any level!!! Not inexpensive they are obviously, no longer a food destination, but a warning to those, in the neighborhood, who expect: good food, prompt service, and RESPECT for their customers....find another food source!!!

I love Indian food and A Saffron Thread is honestly my favorite Indian restaurant in New York. The restaurant is small but the warm colors and wood decor make it a peaceful space to eat in. The lunch "feast" is a great deal, but even better, it includes your choice of one meat and one veggie dish or two veggie dishes, plus rice or naan, my favorite way to eat Indian food -in combination. And the food itself is delicious. The chicken is tender, the curries are complex. The chicken tikka masala is not neon pink. The menu is creative-with most of the usual dishes you'd expect but paneer tacos, halka noodles and more fusion options.

I love this place! I work in the neighborhood and it's my go-to lunch spot. Good price, good portion and great quality food. The atmosphere and customer service are also excellent. Skip the big chain places and support this great small business!

The food was very bland lacking in flavor and spices. This was the worst culinary experience I've ever had in my life! The chai was milky and not drinkable. Don't disappoint yourself with unpalatable food that is not even fit for my pets!
