Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Excerpts

Food was perfect, great taste, you choose your spice level. Service was awesome and always on top of things.

​Saffron Indian Food & Bar absolutely nailed it. My date and I ordered the medium butter chicken and the mild coconut shrimp curry. Every single bite was perfect. The curries were velvety rich and packed with incredible depth of flavor. ​The atmosphere here balances a calm vibe with a classy touch that makes it perfect for a shared dinner. On top of that the staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. We had a great experience and will definitely be back.

Ordered food to have delivered so I am not rating the service or atmosphere. Food was for the most part really good, had the spring rolls, chicken 65, lamb kabob and the coconut shrimp curry. Spring rolls with the sauce were solid, not spectacular but definitely solid. The chicken 65 is the only item I didnt care for the fry was underwhelming on it and the flavor was just okay but everything else was absolutely delicious, the kebab had so much flavor and the right amount of heat. Definitely wish I had got some naan with it but that's my fault for not ordering any) and the shrimp curry was phenomenal. I will definitely be ordering from here again and as much as I miss the restaurant that used to be in this spot (the headquarters) I love that there is a good restaurant in its place. The spice levels on each dish i received were on point with what the menu said, which is huge because although i love spice, the rest of my family is "super white" and can't handle anything that is hotter than mayonnaise. The menu definitely did not steer us wrong and I can't wait to try more of their menu
