We were kind of thrown for a second when we didn't get menus but you scan the QR code--they just need to add more pics on the the foods at the website, but I used yelp to see the popular dishes and prefer them. 2 orders of the 3 different types of naan, butter chicken, tiki masala, another dish (can't remember name), a rice dish with beef, and couple of beers to wash it all down with. What a good meal. We noticed that portions in Canada are a little smaller in Canada than the US (probably for the better) but we left stuffed from this place. They have a lot of good reviews for a reason and definitely this is a place to enjoy some Indian dining. 5 stars.

This place was so good I went here twice. I will say their chicken curry is what I expected their…read morechicken vindaloo to be but their vindaloo has a very tangy almost tomato like paste. The vindaloo was not for me. I went home and added some cream to it and it tasted like butter chicken. That being said, the curry chicken was so god. The chicken is moist. The flavors are just perfection. Mom also loved the baighan Bartha. This one is a bit sweeter than other versions I have had but it is equally as good. I really liked it. We got medium spice and it wasn't too hot. The butter chicken was also delicious. They had appetizers with that thin crisp bread and the green mint and red tangy sauce. It was really good. Btw they give a lot of Naan. As in one order of naan is plenty for two people. Overall I really like this place and if I'm ever in Calgary would definitely be coming back!

I've been here twice now, and the food is pretty darn good. I had the tastiest veggie sandwich here…read morethat I think I've ever had (try the Bombay grilled sandwich - trust me). This restaurant is 100% vegetarian, so coming from a veggie family, it sure makes things easy. So why the loss of stars you ask? One of the times I went, they said they didn't have any of the items under a certain category of their menu. Um... what?! But it's on your menu. If you're going to tease my taste buds like that, then you know I'm not gonna be happy about it. I'll still be back though, but the next time I go I will be sure to not go in hopes of appeasing a particular craving... you know, juuuust in case they don't have it that day.

Thank you to Shahi Masala Paan for friendly and accommodating service and great food and, of course, thank you to Dave and Boh for treating me. Shahi Masala Paan offers mostly Indian food, mostly from southern India, I think. There is a wide and varied menu and you will need to return many times to check it all out. I cannot even tell you what we had because Dave and Boh did the ordering and I am not very familiar with Indian food or the names of it. It was all excellent however. I know that I did have one of three Indian-flavoured lemonades though, and it was good too. Please see the Facebook page for Shahi Masal Paan.

Saffron has me a bit torn…read more One hand it's solid food, served quickly, friendly staff, and reasonable prices for Indian in the NW side of town. On the other, if I'm craving Indian it doesn't quite satisfy. From someone who loves Indian food and had traveled to India and eaten the real deal - it's not quite to my quality of authentic. For example, the naan is closer to greek pita than I'd expect. Not that I have an issue with greek pita... but just not always what I'm hoping for. That being said, there isn't a lot of NW competition for Indian so it is sometimes better than taking a bit of a drive to something a little more authentic or going to a higher price point place that takes a while. Saffron is a bit different that some restaurants in that they make a handful of dishes that day and you choose from those - not the menu unless you order in advance for a lot of people or something. They will always have butter chicken and a dahl but other than that you'll have to call or just go check it out. They will always have a few vegetarian dishes and then some with meat. They often have ocra and saag which are far from my favourites - and that's sometimes a bit disappointing to me. The good thing about Saffron is the food is made when you stop in (but does NOT taste like buffet style that's been sitting) so it's quick to stop in and pick up. The prices for the NW are not bad. For a veggie combo you get 1 veg dish, rice, naan and a curry for $9. Add a buck for a meat combo. Add a couple bucks for a second veg dish. A combo with 1 dish is more than enough for me most of the time. A combo with 2 dishes is usually 2 meals if I buy more naan. Overall that's not a bad deal when facing the cost of other NW alternatives. Overall, Saffron is definitely a good option to have around. Review 3 of 30 in Yelp's 30 Day Challenge
