Ordered takeout from Saffron and had such a great experience…read more Their online ordering system is super easy to use, which made everything really smooth. Our order was ready on time and packaged well. Even though we were just picking up, the staff were attentive and helpful, which I really appreciated. The space itself is also very nice. Clean, well kept, and has a welcoming atmosphere. We started with the veggie samosas and mixed pakoras, and both were amazing. Perfectly cooked with great flavor and really good sauces. For mains, we had the Chicken Makhani (butter chicken) and the Chicken Malabar, and both were so good. Super rich, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The portions were also very generous. The garlic naan was a standout. Fresh, soft, and perfect for dipping into the sauces. Overall, everything we ordered was delicious and really hit the spot. Great flavors, great portions, and a really easy takeout experience. Definitely a place I would return to for dine in or takeout.

We may have found our new favorite Indian restaurant. We really have enjoyed the other Indian…read morerestaurants that we have tried around town however Saffron Indian provided some unexpected greatness. We typically order naan, chicken tikka masala, and chicken makhani. We certainly have ordered some other dishes, however those are our main items. We ordered online. The process was simple and our bag was waiting for us as scheduled. Their naan bread was really good. A little thicker than other naan breads and seemed a bit smokier while still being a bit chewy. We tried the plain Naan and Garlic Naan. Really good Naan bread with the garlic being our favorite. Both the Chicken Tikka Masala and Chicken Makhani were very good. Flavorful sauces with big pieces of chicken. The next dish was a game changer. We thought we would try the Beef Josh. This might have been our favorite dish. The Beef Josh was savory and flavorful but it was the tender chunks of beef that really made that dish. We tried two new dishes to us. The Chicken Kathi Roll and the Chicken Tikka Dosa. The Chicken Kathi Roll was Chicken Tikka inside a big flour tortilla. This was good. The chicken was a bit spicier than the Chicken Tikka dish we ordered. Still pretty good. The Chicken Tikka Dosa was also a new experience. The dosa is a large crispy crepe which has a nutty flavor to it. This came with a Tikka sauce for dipping. A fun new and tasty experience. So far so good. We are looking forward to coming back again to try their Tandoori Chicken and Baigan-bharta and maybe some Samosa. Really great food!

Omg. This place opened up in our neighborhood and it smelled amazing…read more The bread basket (3 types of naan) is worth it-the lamb naan is especially tantalizing. Every dish we have ordered was outstanding. From the tender, boneless lamb in the Rogan Josh to the incredibly flavorful paneer dishes and the chicken and mushroom in a creamy sauce! Their staff is kind and thoughtful-they even included an extra dessert on New Years! We are lucky to have them so close to home.

Modern space with pretty and simple decor, table linens and reasonable prices. We arrived at 5:15…read moreon a weeknight and there was only one other table of customers so we were offered a comfortable booth. More tables filled over the next hour until it was quite busy. We ordered three dishes and naan. The server who took out order was attentive and polite, so we were surprised when the food was delivered in big hurry by someone who all but tossed the dishes onto the table in a big hurry, literally dropping the dish of rice as he raced by - and then they forgot the naan until we later asked for it. The food was not as good as we had hoped it would be, but that might be due to what chose. We tried two street food items, including Panipuri, the small crisp balls with potato filling to which you add flavored water from a small bottle. It's an interesting combination of taste and textures. Also, we ordered a stuffed flatbread with Chana masala, which was less successful because it was not really stuffed naan, but instead plain naan folded in half with some seasonings between the layers and a side of very spicy masala. The most disappointing item was the shrimp curry - we orders medium spice but it was very bland and slightly sweet with the unmistakable flavor of "too-long-on-the-steam-table," the slightly stale flavor that sauces and soups acquire when held too long in the pot near the boiling steam. We would be willing to try again - maybe other choices off the menu would be better.

You can fill them with beautifully spiced vegetarian or meat options, a variety of zesty chutneys (sauces), fresh salads/toppings, and something crunchy. I got the lunch deal: it's a half-rice bowl with the paratha bread and their sauce on the side. I filled it with basmati rice, chicken tikka masala, milt cilantro and pickled aioli, all the "fresh" options, and crispy fried chickpea with the masala fried. So flavorful I loved it! Whether you're new to Indian food, or just looking for something to spice up your life while shopping, it's definitely worth the stop. The staff was friendly and explained menu items I wasn't familiar with. I love coming here when I'm at the MOA, or to their other locations around the Twin Cities.

The flavors are rich, well-spiced, and really satisfying. The portions are very generous too, which makes it great value for the price. It's very easy to order takeout or delivery, and everything travels well. The restaurant itself isn't my first choice for dining in and from what I could tell not very popular as a sit down, but they have great takeout service. The service is very friendly and helpful, which makes the experience even better. Overall, a great go-to for takeout or delivery when you want really good Indian food without paying a premium.

This is probably the second one star review I have ever posted…read more The butter chicken had about four small pieces of chicken in it. I also ordered the spinach pakora.

Randomly landed on this place while scrolling through yelp for a place to eat at. Located in a…read moresmall strip by other restaurants and stores. It was a little quiet when we got here with only a couple other tables around 5 pm. Place is a little older looking. The menus are old so the price is not updated. They even place a piece of paper to say price may differ from menu so if you really want to know how much something is, check. All of our dishes and drinks were more than menu price. This location has decent lassi for my liking. I did enjoy the mango more than strawberry. The food came out within reasonable time given that it wasn't busy. All of the dishes were delish and nothing to complain about. They were all flavorful. I honestly recommend all of the dishes we got. I did not enjoy the lamb curry because I'm not a lamb person and it def has the lamb aftertaste. Service was great. Please spend the money and update the menu, especially they are more than a dollar increase so customers can plan appropriate.

We ordered takeout on a Saturday, online ordering said it would be ready in 15 minutes. This was…read morenot the case, it was more like 40 minutes. Not ideal when you have a hungry toddler waiting in the car. No ambiance inside, really could use brighter lights (it was dim), some cleaning, decor and music. The place feels tired. Service was also lacking, did not receive a welcome and many people were just waiting there and had to approach the host stand (which is also at what appears to be the bar area?) Now to the food. Chana masala was good. Chicken tikka was fine, nothing special. Rice was fine but we received more like 1-1.5 portions of it instead of 2 (for the 2 entrees). Maybe they were short staffed, but my recent experiences missed the mark and I do not know if we will be coming back

If I could give this place negative stars, I would. I was sent here on a mission by my mother and…read moremy spouse to order vegetable pakora for a very specific dish, khadi pakora. It's a yogurt-based curry with CRISPY pakora in it. I came here thinking "any restaurant can make pakora, it's literally just deep-fried, battered vegetables." This was a mistake I have already lived to regret. Before I describe the food, I'll note that I ordered online and was advised to pick it up in 20-35 minutes. I arrived on the later end of this range. I went into the restaurant and no one was seated inside, but it was a Monday night so maybe that's a quiet day for them. I went up to the counter to pick up my order. There was nobody there but someone came out after I rang the bell. I picked up my order and went home, not thinking to check it. I arrived home with the goods in hand. My mother opened it and gave me a look of disappointment, contempt, and disgust. The pakora was cold, limp, and not battered. It seemed like it was microwaved or even just taken straight out of the fridge. We still made the curry, but it was an abomination. I've never had pakora this bad. If you're looking for Indian food in the metro, go literally anywhere else or my Indian mother will be disappointed in you, too.
