The sauces that accompanied our butter chicken, chicken korma, and samosas were layered, complex, and unlike anything I've had before. The staff expertly guided us on spice levels, and the service throughout the meal was excellent. From the outside the restaurant may seem unassuming, but don't let that fool you. This place is more than worth the visit, and I'll be returning very soon.

If you show up at a popular Italian restaurant Saturday night without a reservation, it's likely…read moreyou won't get in, especially during Restaurant Week. We didn't. So we drove to Saffron Kitchen, thinking our chances were better. I like the ambience of Saffron. While my favorite Indian restaurant is a hole-in-the wall a few miles away, I was happy to be here. A waiter handed us menus that didn't include the prix-fixe dinner we came in for. "We have October specials. That's it," he said. "Nope, please check with the manager," I responded. And I was right. (Anyone coming in through October 25th might request the Restaurant Week menu, which may -- or may not -- be of interest.) The prix-fixe is $30 per person. Dinner was great, with leftovers enough for another meal. The appetizer was my favorite part. We each got a plate with a succulent chicken kabob and what's called 'aloo tikki.' (Was it potato? It was delicious.) There's a choice of four entrees, two being vegetarian. I chose chicken bhuna cooked with onions, green peppers, tomatoes, ginger, and garlic in a light curry. My husband ordered chicken tikka masala in a creamy, spicy tomato sauce. I thought his was better than mine. The plates came with basmati rice and a choice of either butter or garlic naan. You're given badami kheer, an Indian spin on rice pudding, for dessert. It's very good. I noticed there's a small lot to the side of the building, but nonetheless street parking is readily available. Saturday night Saffron had a steady stream of customers, many bringing their own wine. I'm happy to see they remain a byob sans corkage fee.

I've eaten at Saffron before (not at this location) but I think this was the best its ever tasted…read more We started with the Vegetable Samosas and for entrees we had the Butter Chicken and the Gobhi Aloo. I love a good samosa and these didn't disappoint. I typically keep my foods from mixing but the gentle sweetness from the butter chicken with the spice from the gobhi aloo was so good together. I found the other location I ate at before had toned down the spice too much but the flavors here were spot on. I appreciate the large portion of rice that came with the dishes so we didn't have to pay attention to portions and didn't have to ask for more. Service was a bit slow bit our server was really nice. It was late when we got to the restaurant and he told us no need to rush, to take our time. A huge plus is that it is a BYOB. For sure I'll go back.

This is such a hidden gem. The Chicken Tikka is so buttery, flavorful, and creamy. Everything you…read moreimagine tikka masala to be, but many places fall short. I order their Lamb Biryani every time, but the real highlight of the dish is the Raita (yogurt looking side) that it comes with. It's really the star of the show.

Not pictured are the Samosas, which are crispy and fluffy and comes with 3 sauces to top off with. My favorite is the chutney sauce, Yummmmm. And the staff??

When I read my prior review I was reminded to avoid anything made in the tandoor. (Our meal last…read moretime was over-cooked.) HOWEVER I thought they did a stellar job with sauce, which is what brought us back. I went with my second favorite dish, chicken korma. The sauce was great, the chicken a bit dry. Deviating from his usual vindaloo, T lived in the fast lane (ha!) and ordered lamb roganjosh. The sauce was excellent, described in the menu as "yogurt, onions, ginger and garlic in a traditional curry" but there's the unmistakable addition of cinnamon. And it works! Our appetizer, tangy eggplant, was crisp and spicy with a portion large enough to feed four as a starter. What made the evening notable were four delightful octogenarians seated next to us. I was tasked with the awesome responsibility of guiding them through the menu. My recommendations luckily were well received. The restaurant was practically empty Saturday evening. "I guess the waitress is too busy to come over," one of our new friends said sarcastically. Which brings me to the help. Our server, the same person we had last time, is noticeably timid, hesitant to effectively interact with her customers. The neighboring table agreed and continued to wait patiently. Nirvana is still considered a byob, though they may actually serve alcohol. In any case, they now impose a $10 corkage fee, when before they charged nothing.

Curry in separate metal bowl, nicely spiced but with sone delicacy and restraint. Naan relatively thin and well crisped. A true delight.
