The most disgusting place, meal and customer service I have ever came across…read more I have been served moldy dessert and super old looking and unappetizing dry chicken. After calling the place I have been promissed a refund but when I returned, the owner said yes, fridge was broken and desserts were bad but you should have had no problem eating the rest. Well, that was not a chance I was willing to take. No refund and don't know if I ever eat Indian food again.

Came here for the very first time today with my brother Peter and his daughter Kristina. Based on…read moreall the overwhelmingly positive reviews on social media, we decided to try the daily All You Can Eat Lunch Buffet for $24 per person. I'm 65 years old and have lived here on Long Island all my life in Suffolk, Nassau and Queens counties. I've been to many different restaurants over the years....and the Lunch Buffet at Saffire has to be hands down THE BEST dining experience that I've ever had in terms of FOOD, VALUE and absolutely the HOSPITALITY. It's great to be able to find such a new and wonderful Indian restaurant. THE FOOD: So let's start of first with food. An absolute 15 OUT OF 10 STARS!!! The Goat Meat was the most TENDER and TASTIEST I've ever had! The Tikka Marsala Chicken and Tandoori Chicken were also incredible. The Vegetable Samosas, Curried Spinach, Haka Noodles, Rice and Naan Bread...all were amazing!! And the Mango Lassi with Rose Petals was such a sweet and welcoming accompaniment. Without a doubt, Saffire has THE BEST Indian cuisine that I've ever had!! THE VALUE: What more can I say other than an ALL YOU CAN WANT LUNCH BUFFET FOR ONLY $24??? Most SOLID VALUE on Long Island...period!!! Definitely looking forward to coming for dinner to experience some more WONDERFUL tastes of India!!! Check out their menu at https://saffireli.com/menu THE HOSPITALITY: I can say with absolute truth that this is the very first restaurant that has ever made me feel like a treasured member of the family from the moment we walked in the door to the moment we walked out. ***I have to especially thank MICHAEL for his SINCERE PRESENCE and ABSOLUTE EXCELLENCE in making sure our first visit exceeded all expectations. The time we spent conversing with him today GUARANTEES a return visit to Saffire. And thanks to Michael's recommendation...I also discovered how much I like Chai Tea. Michael also introduced us to the owner Chani and his lovely wife so we could express to them directly how positive of a first visit we had. Meeting them both also enhanced how welcomed we all felt. We also loved the decor and ambiance of the restaurant. A wonderful environment in which to enjoy a truly delicious meal. So to summarize: AN ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS LUNCH BUFFET AT AN AMAZING VALUE, ALONG WITH THE WARMEST AND SINCERE HOSPITALITY YOU'LL EVER EXPERIENCE!! Please visit Saffire...and ENJOY the experience!!

My favorite Indian restaurant is about a 30-minute drive away, so I wanted to find something closer to the beach we were visiting. We decided to try the lunch buffet here and loved everything! They told us they've only been open for about a year, and I really hope they succeed. I'm always happy to support and share when a restaurant is worth the trip. I'm not sure if it's completely authentic, but I can tell you...it's really good! We will absolutely be back!

Stopped by Inde Spice & had a wonderful meal! While the restaurant isn't high-end when it comes to…read morethe look (it features faux-brick wallpaper, dated booths, basic ceiling tiles, plastic-laminated menus, & tiny dispenser paper napkins), the hospitality & food completely make up for it. Despite the casual setting, they include some lovely touches like heavy copper pitchers & glasses for water, sleek individual LED lights at each table, a few beautiful Indian-style hanging mosaic lamps from the ceiling, & fantastic background Bollywood music playing (for example, "Tere Naina" from My Name Is Khan). It's also always a great sign when you see local Indian folks eating here too. The staff is exceptionally pleasant & attentive, & it's fantastic that they offer dedicated, separate vegetarian & vegan menus alongside their traditional meat offerings. The food was fantastic across the board. The Dahi Puri was creamy, tangy, & crunchy, making for absolute perfect little bite-sized flavor bombs. The Paneer Tikka Tandoori was marinated beautifully with amazing depth of flavor, finished with a great char straight from the tandoor on the paneer, peppers, & onions, plus just the right touch of spice. Dipping it into the mint chutney swirled into yogurt sauce was delightful. The butter naan was to die for with its warm, amazingly buttery, perfectly baked texture. To top it off, the mango lassi was great & very tasty, even though it comes served in a plastic takeout cup. The food was so good that I ended up ordering more to go to share for lunch tomorrow! My only real complaint is wishing they weren't so far away. Overall, it's a fantastic spot if you're looking for authentic, delicious, flavorful Indian food & warm service over fancy decor.

I work relatively close to this grocery/deli. I saw the one review and had a bit of hesitation…read more Checked the pictures on Yelp and only saw a handful of the menu. I love trying new spots and giving it a whirl. I walked in and was greeted by a couple of people. They looked confused, which in turn made me feel confused. I asked them, were they serving food? they then smiled and said of course. I ordered a Chicken and gyro over rice with salad, a chicken shish kebab and a fresh naan. let me tell you that this will be my new go to spot for lunch. the amount of food I got for under $10.00 was INRCREDIBLE! A giant plate of rice with chicken and gyro meat that I couldn't even finish was incredibly flavorful and extremely fillilng. they take credit cards as well as obviously cash. The grocery supply is limited but they have lots of products such as curry, chili powder, chick peas and the like. I highly recommend you try them for lunch. the Naan being cooked to order is AMAZING. i don't mean heating one up in a toaster, i mean they took dough and actually made a fresh naan in front of me. Well worth stopping in for lunch!

Papadam was not crispy, seemed like it had been sitting out for a while before it was served to us. My chai was a teabag with a cracked cup, I make real chai at home better than just a teabag in water. The service was extremely rushed even though we were the only ones in the restaurant. I got Chole Bhature which is one of my favorites but the chole was just lacking the depth of flavor and the Bhature was thick and oily. Ok 2 strikes, you're out. Now I won't be back.

I came here last week for an event, and got to enjoy basically a tasting menu of sorts…read more This menu took Indian flavors on a seriously fun ride. From rich and smoky to spicy, tangy, creamy, and refreshing. Banjara Tikka brought tender chicken thighs layered with yogurt, fried onion and garlic. Mauryaji Basket Chaat delivered chickpeas, potato, tamarind, mint, pomegranate and a creamy yogurt mousse. The Chicken Seekh Kebab was perfectly seasoned and savory with pickled laccha onion, while the Guntur Chilli Chicken Bao turned up the heat with Guntur red chili, sesame and refreshing beetroot shikanji shots. The vegetarian dishes absolutely held their own as well. Chilli Momo with carrot, sesame and seaweed, came out with a soft, delicate bite and a subtle chew, filled with a lightly spiced vegetable mix that leaned savory and aromatic rather than overpowering heat. The Paneer Makhni was rich, velvety, and deeply comforting. The paneer stayed soft and pillowy, soaking up a buttery tomato-cashew gravy that was slightly sweet, gently tangy, and finished with that unmistakable fenugreek aroma that tied everything together. The mains were just as unforgettable. Laal Maas came in bold and unapologetic. Tender goat slow-cooked until it practically melted off the bone, swimming in a deep, smoky gravy built on mathania chilies that brought slow heat. The Shrimp Malai Curry was the complete opposite in tone. Silky coconut milk wrapped around plump tiger shrimp, with Bengali whole spices adding a gentle sweetness and aromatic depth that made the dish feel light yet indulgent at the same time. And somehow dessert still had room to impress. Rose Kulfi was creamy, floral and sweet without being overwhelming. Drinks included everything from the floral, mezcal-and-rooza Gulabo to Mango Lassi. And as someone who historically doesn't like anything rose flavored, I enjoyed both the drink AND the dessert. Just as good as the food, was the service. It is definitely a spot that should not be missed.

They do leave me wanting to return, which after having tried MANY places I can say is not a common reaction. They are certainly very new. Bar isn't even stocked yet. The manager and staff were very polite. I think it has great potential. Be careful with ordering online, that seems to have a few things not fully set up yet and prices are higher so call in your order. Do try this spot. Let the community know your thoughts
