shelves of food in a grocery store
Glenn V.

After a most unsuccessful first half of the day and my little get away plans were to soon be damned, I was ready to pack it in -- reload, regroup, replan. And the kicker of it all is that in point of fact, I really was not trying to accomplish anything magnificent like inventing a new form of renewable energy or debrief the Pentagon. Merely looking for a few survivor items for my stealth camping trips -- wooopie dooo -- couldn't close this undertaking a retarded clam could have easily handled. So I'm at a traffic light, and I look left, or was it right -- no, it was right -- I Always get those two confused. And it was one of those moments where time slows to a crawl. No a beautiful mermaid wasn't swimming up to me to take me away to her oasis and feed me oysters and champagne, but I'm still waiting for that one -- one day, one day. But there - in the yonder- another beautiful vision- just a stones throe from us was an Indian food spot complete with a grocery store. Bam, pulled the rig in and sprung off mr seat like a toad on a hot rock and inside I hopped, man I mean I love me some Indian food, I grew up with it dontcha know.. Across the back wall were the food offerings, I went with: garlic nanny and a lamb over rice dish. Now please note, I was offered a "hot green sauce" so when you see the photograph, don't be alarmed, it looks a bit peculiar. The portion was generous enough for two, and garlic naan was a bit dry but I didn't mind one bit. I began walking around the little grocery area whilst eating a taragon cookie (correction -- half the box) but many wonderful products were offered, some I was familiar with, others -- not so much. It only took a few moments to when the cook and the owner in the halal meat area -- knew that I was down. Indians are so classy, intellectual and refined -- I doubt much they're familiar with what it means to "be down". So I'll tell 'em, it's about being with their program, understanding and comprehension and straight up love for them and all their about.

Hurry the curry OUT!!

This place is a joke! I walked in and no one asked me if I needed anything and they were completely oblivious to my presence. I was starving and would've bought something but instead, no human contact. Lame!!

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 niece and I always seem to end our hangouts with a great meal,and it's usually Indian food! I'm…read moremanifesting my trip to India soon! 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!

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.

Really not a great experience overall and I definitely don't see us going back which is sad because…read moreI had been wanting to go here for a few months now. The service was terrible. One person running the whole room who was the host, bartender, busboy and waiter so we were definitely being patient throughout the night as the service was slow. We received our spicy chicken appetizer before any water. But that wasn't even my biggest issue. Main problem was the amount of times we heard the word "no." No to wanting to sit in a booth (only 2 other tables sitting at the time). He told us there was a reservation for the booth that had no one ever show up for. The whole dinning room only had 2 other tables that were occupied the whole time we were there. And we were there till almost 10:00 pm. He said "no" to ordering a drink without the mezcal in it. He said no to adjusting spice level of the biryani from mild to medium. And I couldn't keep up after that but the no's kept coming. It was on the later side, my daughter was hungry so we just stuck with it unfortunately. Food was mediocre. Some good items some worse. The chicken biriyani had way too much masala on the bottom. The ratio was off completely between the rice and chicken. The firey chicken appetizer was good. The chicken tikka masala entrée came out wayyyy too spicy. And my husband loves spicy but he was literally sweating through the meal. The waiter did offer to change it but at that point we wanted to just finish and leave. He did give us 3 of the rose kulfie's to compensate for the u reasonably spicy chicken, which was the best part of the whole meal. The shrimp in my daughter's noodles were overcooked but the noodles were ok. Sadly this was our anniversary dinner. Such a disappointment! We should have gone to Baijaan like we were originally planning to!
