On this occasion, I ordered the Chicken Korma, Garlic Naan, Plain Naan and the veggie samosas. The Chicken Korma was mouthwatering and a huge portion. I saved half for the next day. They accidentally sent me Chicken samosas instead of the veggie samosas I had ordered. At first I was disappointed, but then I realized that I had never had chicken samosas before, and these were delicious. So, in the end that part was sort of a happy mistake because I got to try something new that was very tasty. The garlic naan and the plain naan were perfect, as well. I will definitely be ordering from Dada again sooner than later.

Bombay pops up, is highly rated, and is just about a mile and a half away from where we were. We pull up, go in, and it's clean, cozy & bright. The servers are really kind. My friend's young daughter is trying to do vegan, and my friend has a tree nut allergy AND eats gluten-free, and they can accommodate ALL OF THAT! Yay! This is one of the best menus I've seen in the United States for Desi food, and true to Orlando style, they also have some "asian" dishes / cool combos of Chinese & Indian on the menu. I have never seen so many restaurants with two/hybrid/fusion menus as I have in Orlando! We got Hakka Noodles, Pani Puri, Masala Dosa, Palak Paneer & Chai. Pani Puri came assembled already and in a cute little wagon. Everything tasted amazing!! Tasted fresh-made with fresh ground spices & tasty ingredients. It was very reasonably priced, and the food came out fast. We didn't finish it all & they were prompt with the to go containers. Definitely going back. Thanks you guys!

What "premium ingredient" or "elevated presentation" made the very common appetizer served to me worth $3-4 per singular cauliflower. Like I said, if you're willing to pay premium prices for mid food, go here. I was excited to try this new spot last weekend. I enjoyed the meal but nothing about the flavor or ingredients stood out. Honestly, the food is just fine. For a restaurant that claims to be fine dining, the food should be special or be done well. They did have a gimmick menu where they put gold leaf on a bunch of dishes (pictured). They even put it in my chai. I could see that doing well on IG and winter park socials. I felt that the prices were very extreme for the portions you got. For example, I got an appetizer of Gobi Manchurian that was about $17. I'm not even kidding, there were FIVE pieces of cauliflower on my dish. The rest of the meals were about the same. The shape of the dishes make the meal appear larger, which feels tricky not design focused. Overall, if you're willing to pay, it's not a bad meal but there are plenty of better Indian restaurants in the area to choose over Jala.

There are plenty of vegetarian options, which I really appreciate. The overall spread is quite satisfying and nicely balanced. The place has a good vibe, and the service is friendly and attentive.

When we arrived, I was surprised to see the restaurant quite crowded on a Thursday evening. It looks to be someone's birthday, and birthday party music was in the background. I paid the bill, and the food was ready immediately after.The server was nice, but felt busy. We ate at home. The potato bonda was friend nicely, but a little greasy. It was still nicely flavored with the Indian spices, but nothing hot. The ras malai was only had two pieces, but it was wonderful with the nicely made ricotta cheese balls in a rose scented milk sauce. Other nuts were added, making it a great dessert. The food was quite expensive, 8 dollars for the bonda, and 6 for the ras malai. But it's a popular vegetarian restaurant in the OBT area, and still in good quality. It's been there for a while, and a great chain in India. Still a nice restaurant for people wanting good vegetarian cuisine. Overall: B

I don't know if they changed their breading on the fried items, but the meal left us all feeling bloated and made the decision to take home leftovers difficult. Also, we had a peanut allergy in the group and that wasn't an issue, but we were informed that they use cashews in almost every other sauce. That wasn't news to us because it was never disclosed before. All in all the restaurant was clean and some of the food was very good, but I think this may be the last time we eat there, which sucks because it was a nice place to bring new people while in that area.

First off, this is around the fourth or fifth time we visit Saffron Indian Cuisine in the Sand Lake…read morearea. The restaurant, in our view, has gotten increasingly lacklustre in the past couple of years. While the tables and the interiors are still generally clean, we have noticed wobbly table legs and cracked/torn seat covers that seem to remain unchanged and/or unrepaired for months. Coming to the food, while most of the Punjabi and North-west Indian fare on their menu has been the typically Americanized Indian food for the most part, anything outside of that category on their menu can and will throw you off. Especially if you've had the authentic stuff and know what those dishes taste like. On our latest visit last night, we ordered dahi tikki for appetizer which was served to us without the dahi. No attempt was made on part of the server or the kitchen staff to correct the error and provide the yogurt dressing. So we had a couple of aloo tikkis (spiced potato patties) with the regular chutneys that were at the table. We also ordered chicken vindaloo, bhindi do pyaza and butter naan for the entrée. To our surprise, the chicken tasted nothing like vindaloo and it had potatoes in it!!! LOL! For the uninitiated, Vindaloo is the Indian interpretation of 'Carne de Vinha d'alhos', which was introduced in the early 16th century to the former Portuguese colony of Goa in India. In Goa, the dish is colloquially known as 'vindalho' or 'vindaloo' and is prepared in a very similar manner to its Portuguese counterpart. It's a type of braised meat prepared with bold fiery spices and wine vinegar to impart that recognisably bold, pickle like flavour and has a beautiful, rich brown sauce. Vindaloo has absolutely NOTHING to do with Aloo (potatoes) in any shape, way or form. What was served to us seemed like some Frankensteined variation of Chicken tikka masala with some potatoes thrown in at whim. The bhindi do pyaza was alright in terms of flavor but the team in their kitchen ignored to discard the cap/stem of the okras causing the preparation to have a rather unpleasant texture and mouthfeel. The butter naans were also very inconsistent in texture. The first one was fine, the second one was overcooked, brown and crispy and the one we ordered to go was slightly undercooked and doughy. Also, not sure if it's worth mentioning, but the lights inside the restaurant kept being dimmed to the point of being turned off several times when we were seated at the table at around 8:30PM. I'm not sure what's going on with this restaurant but if the owners and staff actually read the reviews, please do something about it. We have been to Saffron before and we used to really enjoy the food, the service and the overall atmosphere. But lately it's been all going downhill. The only saving grace is that the portions served here are still huge. But that won't save the restaurant if the quality of the food and everything else keeps tanking. It'll be a shame to see another good restaurant fall from grace. We would absolutely urge the owners to take notice and fix things so those of us who have loved this place in the past can keep returning.

To drink, I enjoyed a Marsala chai. It was very fragrant and delicious. We shared the garlic naan, which was so buttery and had plenty of yummy chunks of fresh garlic.

It's a great portion size and they even replenished our rice when we ran low. My boyfriend got the chicken tikka and loved it. The food was spectacular and the service was excellent. I can't wait to come back.

I gave Mynt a 5-star review a few years back, but I am struggling to even give 3-stars today…read more Service was good and the restaurant is better than most Indian places. But the food lacked in flavor and spice. We stopped in a little after 1:00, ordered 3 of the lunch meal sets, which include your choice of lunch size curry, naan, small portion on yellow lentils, naan and two dips (one cilantro/mint & the other a sweet tamarin mix) and tiny cup of creamy mango desert. Naan was good and a lot. We choose the paneer saag, lamb vindaloo, and lamb coconut - all medium spiced. Nothing was cooked to order, asked for medium spiced, all were barely even mild. The paneer saag was a puree, not to my liking - like mine to still look like spinach (leafy?), the lamb in both dishes was over cooked, rubbery. The vindaloo had no flavor. It was kind of like the Bland Indian food you would expect at a buffet. Sorry to say this may be our last visit.

The pakora was fried perfectly and had the right amount of spices, making it so flavorful and addicting that my mom enjoyed it so much. The meat area had Chicken Tikka Masala, Cashew Chicken, Goat Biryani, and Tandoori Chicken. All were wonderful. The biryani had nice pieces of goat, but most of them had bones. The the goat was tender and flavorful from being with the bones. The cashew chicken was good, but also had bones. The chicken tikka was boneless and the chicken was soft. The sauces were flavorful and medium spiced. The tandoori chicken was cooked nicely, but you did need a knife and fork to cut it. For the vegetarian dishes, the okra and potato were both enjoyable. The paneer dish was a bit too sweet for me, and the vegetable biryani seemed to have golden raisins, which I didn't enjoy. For dessert, I just took the fruit custard, which was mostly just fruit in a mango milk/sauce. It was still delicious! We all agreed that the food was great here for the buffet! The service is good, but can be busy. While our plates got cleared for the first rounds, it did pile up during the second round and dessert. It didn't get cleared until we left. It was ok because we had enough space to eat anyways. I also noticed that relaxing piano music was in the background, so it does help calm the atmosphere in a tourist area. The price increased to about 20 dollars per person, but this is still a great deal. With various types of food to enjoy and unlimited portions til your stuffed, it's an excellent value. It's our preferred restaurant for Indian lunch buffet in the I-Drive area. Overall: A-

The cheese naan is unlike any paneer naan we have tried before--almost like a cheesy quesadilla. They didn't have Aloo Choley listed, but when we asked, the kitchen put together a version with chickpeas and potatoes that turned out delicious. We ordered the Dal Maharani, and while our waitress asked about spice level, it felt like she made the decision for us. We enjoy spice, but even the first bite was hotter than we expected, and we barely ate any of it despite it being otherwise flavorful. Toward the end, our waitress asked us to leave a review... and then stood there waiting. When my husband said we were still chatting, she kept circling back to check, which felt pretty pushy. Later, when we requested to-go boxes, she said "there is no rush" and then disappeared. We had to ask again. Overall, the food is good and the staff is mostly friendly, but the unexpectedly fiery dal and the slightly overzealous service kept this from being a 5-star experience.
