SAFFRON INDIAN GRILL & BAR

Fabulous spot. We had several dishes and each one was great. Our server was the owners daughter and she was very helpful. I am gluten-free and had lots of options.

Delicious! We arrived at 6:15 on a Monday evening and were seated in a booth—there were a few other tables when we arrived but it was filling up by the time we left. Tasteful decor, warm colors, pretty light fixtures, a full bar with upholstered bar chairs, and honest-to-goodness—-as a former hospitality worker I actually exclaimed at how delighted I was that the silver was neatly (and uniformly) rolled and polished. That kind of attention to detail is a good sign, in my experience. Food was fresh, everything was perfectly cooked (pakora crispy and well-seasoned, naan chewy on the inside and crispy at the edges, rice perfectly salted and steamed), and aromas hit the table 2 feet before the server. I got the neelgiri and my partner had the saag, both were delightful. Spice scale might be on the mild side for some diners—I ordered medium spice and my dish was at the spice level I think my partner was expecting when he ordered mild spice. His was kid-friendly. Depth and balance of flavor was there. Curries were rich and creamy. Two entrees and two sides for $43 before tip. We will very much be back. And bonus, the gluten-free items on the menu were marked! My celiac tummy is good so far, I’ll come back and Addend the review if I get sick later tonight.
