At Petawawa location We ordered veg pakora, kadai paneer, garlic naan and chicken biryani. Veg pakora was alright but had half filled chutney in an already small container. Kadai paneer was below average. Paneer was dry and falling apart and they went heavy on tomato gravy, as a result it was sour. Garlic naan had little to no garlic taste. Chicken biryani was the most disappointing. Lacked salt and spice. Portions were alright. They also didn’t have bunch of things on menu. Good riddance as everything we did ended up ordering was mid af.

$18 just for channa and only one bathura man that’s too much expensive even without pickle and Dahi There is also no cutlery and napkins Not worth it

Very notable decline in quality over the past several months. We've been ordering every couple of months since they first opened but this most recent time may be our last. The butter chicken has deteriorated significantly; it's now just tomato paste. The samosas, on our most recent order, tasted like chlorine (every one at the table made the same comment at the same time), and mixed up items on your order are increasingly routine. All lamb dishes are now off the menu; chicken wings are new. This place was great when they first opened in Pembroke a few years ago. I would strongly recommend they return their focus to the basics (and get rid of the new chicken wings on their menu while they're at it). We'd love to be motivated to order again! There's a paucity of decent take-out in the valley.

Zaffran used to be great but every time I order it seems that the amount of meat in each dish is decreasing and the flavours seem to be more and more dull.
I miss the old quality of zaffran, not sure what changed behind the kitchen but it’s not the same as it was a few years ago.
If you’re really craving Indian it still is okay, but not what it was.

The food here is absolutely delicious, and when you ask for spicy that make it proper spicy none of that pansy stuff lol. Great prices for the large portions you receive. I’ve eaten a dozens of Indian restaurants across Canada and this is definitely in the top 5. Only reason why I have 3 stars for atmosphere is for the time being it’s take out only. Must try!

Totally misses the mark of Indian takeout. Gajar ka halwa with ice cream? Chat papri with golgappa type papri with no dahi. Chicken korma hardly had any chicken in it (and was very sweet ?), super confused with this dish, not worth it for 20 dollars, also lacked flavour, just bombarded with chilli powder even after choosing medium spicy, maybe to mask lacked of use of other spices. Samosa lacked flavour if not eaten with the chutney as well. Not worth the price. Marigold in pembroke has good portions and is very reasonably priced if you're looking for Indian food.

We ordered take out for the first time on Monday Sept 16th. Will definitely be going back!
The food was flavourful and well prepared. Delicious!
The man at the counter was very kind and patient with us, explaining the different dishes and answering all of our questions. Great customer service.
Don't be intimidated about trying it if you've never eaten authentic Indian food, they will gladly help you choose your meal.
I didn't give full stars for atmosphere because they haven't finished the seating area yet.
Wow! The food was so flavourful and the Naan was by far the best I've had. I will definitely be coming back again!

Ordered takeout from here, the samosa chaat was amazing! The portion of butter chicken was small, there were 8 pieces in the container, but the flavour was excellent. If I ordered the mango Lassi again I'd ask for it without the ginger chunks.

Had lamb biryani from zaffran. Service was great but the food didn't taste good. The meat was undercooked and the rice had no biriyani flavor.
Nice guy but the food was whatever. That rosemary naan was actually rosemary with a little bit of naan

This is solely a take away restaurant. The food is very good and flavourful. All mains come with a small side of cumin rice which is nice. Recommend that you try this establishment.
Very authentic and great tasting food. It's about a 25 minute wait for 2 meals.

I had a terrible experience at Zaffran due to the food quality. The dishes were bland and lacked seasoning, and the ingredients did not seem fresh. Some items were overcooked while others were undercooked, making the meal quite unpleasant. I was expecting much better for the price, and I will not be returning.
