My girlfriend and I enjoyed our dinner. Our booth provided welcome extra space. The wine selection was good, the food and service excellent. A must return. We already recommended Saar to our colleagues. Thank you for a lovely evening.

A beautiful and elegant little restaurant. This was some of the best Indian cuisine I've every had and we enjoyed it in a quiet and elegant atmosphere. The prices were quite reasonable. I highly recommend Saar Indian Bistro.

Beautifully presented and quite delicious. We had two appetizers — the eggplant was somewhat spicy and the potato was mild. Both were yummy. I had lamb curry my friend had butter chicken. Both sauces were good enough to drink. Our waitress checked what level of spice we preferred on each of our dishes; very considerate. We also had the potato mulch's bread which was fluffy and really good. The restaurant was quite full when we arrived so a bit noisy but we could still converse....
