We rolled the dice anyway and let's just say, they weren't wrong. Lol. We had to ask the waiter to upgrade our carafe from room temp water to ice water and Naani (sp?) stopped by our table to check in on our experience. We let him know the "mild" had a bit more of a kick than we expected. He recommended we use yogurt and had some brought to the table. He was very friendly and easy to talk to. Each dish was $16 and I was impressed with the portion size. They don't even charge for extra rice. Next time we'll skip the biryani since it was too spicy and just order the extra rice.

My favorite items are: -All varieties of biryani - 5/5, with a special mention for their mirchi salan, which has an authentic flavor. -Curry Leaf Gobi - 5/5 for dine-in and 3.5/5 for takeout, as it tends to become soggy. -Chicken 65 - 5/5 The restaurant has a great ambience with a modern, chic décor and gets quite busy on weekends. The service is very attentive, and takeaway orders are always ready within the time mentioned while ordering.

The place was clean, I could even see in the kitchen and it looked nice. Service was fine. The menu is filled with the typical Pakistani/Indian delights. We tried their chicken tikka (boneless) kabob. The flavors were really good and the meat was tender. It came out perfect. The naan was incredibly soft and perfect texture and density too. Their veggie biryani was more of a mix of curry into the rice, versus the right way of making it with curry folded into the rice with some other colored rices folded in as well. The flavors were just a messy/overall single flavor, rather than tasting the different flavors. The karahi was really just a stewed chicken curry, versus a freshly made stir fried (in a karahi) style curry with fresh tomatoes and chicken. I could tell by how melty and stewed down the chicken was. Overall, the flavor was ok, but it didn't resemble the karahi I'm familiar with from making it and eating it in Pakistani family kitchens over the years. I still enjoyed the visit and if I came back, I'd stick with kabobs

A Hidden Gem for Indian Cuisine in Ashburn, VA. I travel for food …read more.. Saffron India in Ashburn, VA, truly delivered a chef's kiss experience. From the moment we arrived, the service was friendly and attentive, the ambiance was relaxing, and the food--absolutely outstanding. I drove 1.5 hours for my birthday lunch after a day at the spa, and it was well worth the trip. The standout dishes were the lamb chops, garlic naan, and the crispy spinach and spicy shrimp--all 10/10. I also took home the Chicken 65 and Tiger Prawn Shrimp ( a must have ) both of which were just as delicious. Be mindful that they close at 2:30 pm for preparation before dinner service, so plan accordingly. I left with enough food to last two days, and with plenty of parking in the shopping plaza, this spot is a must-try for any food lover in the area or just wanting to venture out . Highly recommend!

If this is true, it's very disappointing because the staff work hard every day and deserve to be paid promptly for their efforts. I hope the management takes this issue seriously and treats its employees fairly. I'm sharing this review in the hope that it encourages positive changes, because a restaurant's success depends not only on good food but also on how it values and supports its employees.

Today I stopped by for lunch, just walking by, and ordered their mild G.O.A.T Dum Biryani and Mango Lassi. Kiran the cashier was nice and polite, very knowledgeable and answered all my requests very well. The food came out quickly and hot. I think the mango lassi was a bit small for it's price but tasted homemade. The goat was extremely spicy for me, even after I was asked how spicy I would like it, and I replied very mild, not spicy. It's was difficult to eat it without a lot of extra toppings and sauces to make it more mild, but then my rice turned into soup. I think that if you normally like the spices that made with Indian food you'll agree with the other reviewers here that it's a nice place to eat. For me it too hot and spicy! As a bonus they offered me to try their desert: Mango Rabadi and a small sample of their chicken kabob. The Mango Rabadi was very good, a pleasant sweetened dessert, but the chicken kabob was also super spicy for me but full of flavor! If you like Indian food it sounds like this is the place to go, but for me it's way too spicy! The owner and the cashier were very nice and friendly. I hope they fulfill the area's Indian food option as best they can in the years to come.
