We enjoyed the complimentary chips and dips and we both enjoyed our entrees. The chicken was very tender and the flavors were delicious. The food did take very long to come out and it also took a while to pay as it looked like one woman was doing most of the table service. We were also a little surprised to see each drink was $12. We just got a single rail vodka soda which came in a small glass. That price seemed a bit steep for that.

Heavy on meat dishes. The shahi paneer was watery with no flavor. The potatoes and chickpeas on the other hand were delicious with a little kick. Everything else was mild. The fish was great but the chicken hit or miss. For the $24 price tag there are better Indian buffets in the area.

I had the privilege of joining Saffron for a night taste testing their new spring menu and let me…read moretell you - it was insanelyyy delicious! Saffron remains one of my top 3 favorite restaurants in MKE I love so many things about it. The ambiance is spot on, moody, yet energetic. Their cocktails are always ahhhmazing. Each dish that comes out is somehow better than the last, there's not one thing on the menu that disappoints. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly, offering great recommendations when we are choosing between items. It's a great spot to go with a larger group so you can try lots of dishes! It's not impossible to get a reservation which I appreciate, but it's always booked/lively. The food presentation only enhances the experience, but the flavors and textures are really what make this menu shine. I cannot wait to go back in July with a group of friends (who have never been!) and try the whole menu! Bravo, Saffron, keep up the great work

My husband and I visited here on a quest to try some Indian food in the midwest and were absolutely…read morenot left disappointed! From the moment we stepped inside, the staff very quickly greeted us and made us feel welcome. He frequently checked in, made meal suggestions, and made the experience feel much more personal. We ordered a mango lassi, chicken korma, garlic naan, and lamb chops (which were a chef special of the day). Each dish was delicious and had the perfect amount of spice and flavor for us. The lamb chops were definitely the standout for us, though they were a bit expensive. The naan was also surprisingly soft and pillowy, which is my preferred texture, so it was the perfect vehicle to scoop up all that extra curry and rice, really pulling the whole meal together. I hope this restaurant continues to do well in Milwaukee!

I met friends for dinner at Bollywood Grill last night. It's located across from Juneau Village…read moretowers downtown, and has a beautiful dining room, bar, and private banquet room. Our service from Nina was exceptional, and the food was delicious! We shared an order of Samosas and Samosa Chaat, as well as Tandoori Chicken, Butter Chicken, Aloo Paratha (flaky flatbread stuffed with potato), and Garlic Naan. Then we exchanged bites of our individual entrees, including Vegetable Korma, Vegetable Biryani, and Bollywood Special Biryani, which has lamb, beef, chicken, and shrimp (with tails on). You can order mild, medium, or spicy for most dishes. Although they say the mild still has a subtle kick to it. You can order extra mild if you are super sensitive to even mildly spicy foods. Bollywood Grill offers a lunch buffet 7 days a week, with a slight upcharge on weekends for extra offerings. It's a great option for Indian food, so stop in if you haven't tried them yet, or if it's been a while, like it was for me.

It could've been a little more tender and it was hard to take off the bone, but nothing huge to complain about. The naan was a little hard - I would've preferred a softer naan, but it tasted good nonetheless. It is a fast causal setting, which I wish I knew beforehand to bring my own water, as you have to buy it inside.

First time here…read more Food: We were excited to try some Somali/African cuisine. For beverages, we ordered the chai tea and the mango smoothie. I was expecting a plain chai tea, but what I received was actually a chai latte. What a wonderful surprise! It wasn't the type of chai latte I might expect from a local coffee shop, but it was better than many I've had. We started with a couple of veggie sambusas. They were excellent. Hot, crisp, and fresh, with a generous filling and served with a side of mint chutney. Together, they made a fantastic flavor combination. We also ordered hummus and pita bread. Both were fresh, tasty, and well presented. The final part of our meal was the Goat Platter. It arrived hot and fresh, with generous portions. The goat meat was delicious and tender. The serving was large enough that I took half home, and it will make great leftovers. Service: The gentleman at the counter was friendly and efficient. He was very attentive, bringing each item to our table. He seemed genuinely proud of the food, its presentation, and our reaction to it. There was also a woman in the back, whom I believe was doing most of the cooking, and I had a chance to thank her as well. Atmosphere: The restaurant is small and unassuming. It was clean and well lit, thanks to the large front windows. It appears that most of their business is takeout, but there are several tables available for dining in. We were the only people eating there during our visit, so it was very quiet. Overall: We were super impressed with this little spot serving excellent Somali/African food. The quality of the food, the warm service, and the generous portions made for a wonderful first experience. We'll definitely be back.

Never thought I'd find good Somalian food in Milwaukee or at all. The goat was cooked perfectly and…read morewas still moist. I've been to other Somalian spots where they cook the lamb so long that it's tender, but stringy and dry. Not this place - it still had it's succulence. The seasonings were on point. Both the chicken and beef sambusas were tasty - but in my opinion lacked the punch compared to other sambusas I've had. The chicken one was especially bland, but the sauce saved it. The chicken one was dry and had a shredded texture. I suggest making small dices to the chicken and mixing it the slightest amount of gravy to keep the chicken moist before folding it in the pastry. The service was really friendly. Everyone needs to go here now! I'll definitely be back

Back in the day, there was fresh roasted coffee on Saturday evenings, but the food is still fantastic. We sat at a table this time, I prefer the 'pedestal' personally. If you're feeling a little adventurous just do it. It can be intimidating to not have utensils- you just tear off a piece of the Injera (like sourdough crepe) and pick up what you want to eat. Not everything is spicy- but some is, so if you're not up for spice, be careful. There are lots of vegan options and it's ok to call the waitstaff over (he doesn't like to interrupt).
