The desi cheesesteak had good amount of chicken. I really liked how the chicken was cut into pieces. The cheesesteak also had fried onions, chili and other spices. The bread was pretty basic. The baklava wasn't worth getting at all. It was very big but tasted like it was bought at Costco. It definitely didn't taste freshly made.

She said it was some of the best falafel she's had. Which is saying a lot. Much like Shania Twain most things don't impress her much. I don't think she's care if she met Brad Pitt. My salad was terrific. Hearty and inexpensive. The pita was excellent too. Only one guy on doing everything and he was quick. Felt a little bad for him. You can dine in but no bathroom.

After placing an order on Uber Eats for the Mixed Grill, Chicken Tikka Masala, Chicken Biryani & 2 Mango Lassi. It arrived shortly still super hot!! OMG the Mixed Grill was a Grand Slam, which consisted of Lamb & Chicken Kebabs, Chicken Malay, Tandoori Shrimp & Lamb Chops(which were cooked with love) Chicken Tikka Masala was polite and yet very zestful. Chicken Biryani had marinated chunks of tender chicken and blissfully fragrant. Mango Lassi was not to overly sweet and thick! I would recommend this establishment to anyone looking for high quality and yet affordable Indian cuisine. Thank you very much beautiful meal.

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 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.
