First time trying this place and gotta say it's one of the best Indian I've had. From the outside…read moreit's looks small and tacky but once you enter and go down to the dining area it's nicely spaced and open. They have a separate dining area build like a train I thought it was pretty cool. We ordered a banquet with 2 entrees, 3 main dishes, rice, naan and dessert for $31 each person (min 2), food was absolutely delicious. The only thing I fault with this place is a particular staff member was very keen to remove plates from table whilst we were eating hence the 4 star review otherwise would of rated a 5.

Visiting Cafe Saffron for a weekday lunch is an odd experience…read more For starters the restaurant is located in what looks like an industrial estate. The restaurant itself does little to dispel that image. It is pretty much a warehouse decked out in Indian decorator stylings. That being said it would be a fantastic location for parties, wedding or any celebration and i suspect functions are their specialty. As a lunch venue it didn't quite work. We were the only group in the large hall and when the number of staff outnumber the customers it is a little worrying. That said we spent the afternoon sampling the banquet which was as tasty and high quality as their sister restaurant in Ivanhoe. Fresh Indian poppadom's soaked up spicy curries and korma. The dishes were all well made and authentically presented. The service was attentive (as you would expect in a deserted restaurant) and friendly. I would definitely head to the Ivanhoe restaurant rather then this location due to the ambiance. Although I hope to get an invitation to a function at the South Morang location soon!

I'm not too sure about Indian these days, especially some of these more traditional Indian…read morerestaurants. I guess I'm more used to the takeaway stands at the food courts that offer a selection of not quite Indian curries. Okay, this place does offer your typical not quite Indian curries, as well as a goat curry (which always goes down well we me), I was all that enamoured of this place. Maybe it was just a little pricey, or they didn't really understand their beers. It was okay, but not one of the best.

Note that the 4 stars here is for the food only…read more We've come to love and laugh at Cafe Spice's other 'quirks' but they might put off many others: The place is nothing to look at and void of any atmosphere (often empty), the kitchen where you pick up your take-away from doesn't look the cleanest (with hardly-enticing tubs of what I assume is pre-made gravies sitting around), and the main fella who runs this place is a bit of an odd-bod who thinks nothing of butting in on your meal at any time with weird non-sequiturs - ends of stories he didn't start telling you - like a senile grandparent, and grumbling a little under his breath as he stalks the room. BUT -- I don't care one bit about any of that, because the Beef Madras is so f***ing good. I don't even think it appears on the takeaway menu but they still make it when asked, and make it good. Great tender beef chunks and perfectly balance spices. My sig-other is crazy about her Butter Chicken and swears it's also up there with the best she's had. If a potentially quirky night dining in isn't your thing then perhaps stick to take-away, but we will put up with a lot more than just the above for our favourite dishes.
