One of the more refined Indian restaurants I have eaten at and the classiest in Geelong by far. The…read morestar of the menu are the curries, with particular highlights being the peppered chicken and the vindaloo. We had the mixed grill for entree which received mixed reviews from the table ranging from underwhelming to good, and the garlic naan lacked the lightness on naan cooked in a traditional tandoor, with ours being nice but a little heavy. Being BYO is a definite bonus, and makes your evening even more affordable. Overall, reasonably priced, well appointed dining venue that is worth a visit.

This is the best Indian restaurant we have tried so far, everything they do just works. The service…read moreis friendly, attentive and knowledgeable; the dining room is warm and modern (except the strange tiled area); with the food as the highlight. I really liked the minimalist menu, with a focus on what they do well which appears to be southern Indian fare given the traditional pork vindaloo and the generous use of seafood. I would recommend the non-veg sharing platter for couples or groups, and if you like spice and heat, try the green chilli naan - it is fantastic. I doubted the good food guides rating of this place (14/20), however I recommend you check for yourself. PS - try the goat curry even if you are not food adventurous, it melts in your mouth.

We had the samosa appetizer which has mango and pomegranite in it but wasnt at all sweet and the fried stuff mushrooms which were light and crispy. The butter chicken was flavourful and not at all sweet (which is always a good sign) and rhe scallops in the scallop curry melt in your mouth. Everything we had was perfecty seasoned and balanced. AND they do take away! This is my go to indian restaurant from now on.

Consistently the absolute best Indian food I've ever had in my entire life.

We were a group of 4 and we started with Tandoori mushrooms marinated in spices, roti and garlic naan. We ordered several dishes to taste and try as two from our party hadn't eaten here before. Malai Kofta - cheese and grated potato balls filled with nuts in a creamy flavorful sauce, Palak Aaloo - potatoes with spinach, Vegetable Korma - mixed vegetables and nuts, Rogan Josh- lamb curry cooked with yogurt and heavy spices, and several other meat dishes I can't remember. The service here is always stellar and I'll always stop in for a feast whenever I'm in town. I LOVE Kohinoor!

Tasty food, very quick service. Recommend the lechhna panir bread and mango chutney sides.read more

I was in my hometown for the holidays and I always eat at Kohinoor (my favorite Indian restaurant…read morein existence), but one of my friends said we were going to eat at Saffron instead. Immediately I felt like I was cheating on Kohinoor. I even parked several blocks away from Saffron, wore my sunglasses all the way inside, and kept checking over my shoulder in case anyone should see where I was going... But that was the end of my dubious behaviour because Saffron was delicious in every sense of the word! We were a party of 9 and ordered several dishes and shared them family style. There were several lamb and seafood dishes on the table, but I sat toward the vegetarian side and feasted on malai kofta (my favorite), pumpkin masala (oh my word, incredibly hot!), aloo gobhi, (cauliflower and potato, mouth on fiiiiiyahhhhh), vegetable biryani, and we ordered naan after naan after naan after naan (to soak up the red hot flame in my mouth), with my favorite being the cheese naan and the masala kutcha (I could eat this every day and never tire of it) and the ever so cooling raita. The staff here were friendly, very funny, and very helpful. All the food came out together and the flavors of the food blew my senses away. Shhhhhh, don't tell Kohinoor, but I may have found my new go-to place when I'm back home! FYI - this place is BYO (and oh boy, did we BYO!).
