I absolutely love spicy food, and they definitely bring the heat without sacrificing the flavor. The chicken is delicious and the dish is always so satisfying.

Stopped by Inde Spice & had a wonderful meal! While the restaurant isn't high-end when it comes to…read morethe look (it features faux-brick wallpaper, dated booths, basic ceiling tiles, plastic-laminated menus, & tiny dispenser paper napkins), the hospitality & food completely make up for it. Despite the casual setting, they include some lovely touches like heavy copper pitchers & glasses for water, sleek individual LED lights at each table, a few beautiful Indian-style hanging mosaic lamps from the ceiling, & fantastic background Bollywood music playing (for example, "Tere Naina" from My Name Is Khan). It's also always a great sign when you see local Indian folks eating here too. The staff is exceptionally pleasant & attentive, & it's fantastic that they offer dedicated, separate vegetarian & vegan menus alongside their traditional meat offerings. The food was fantastic across the board. The Dahi Puri was creamy, tangy, & crunchy, making for absolute perfect little bite-sized flavor bombs. The Paneer Tikka Tandoori was marinated beautifully with amazing depth of flavor, finished with a great char straight from the tandoor on the paneer, peppers, & onions, plus just the right touch of spice. Dipping it into the mint chutney swirled into yogurt sauce was delightful. The butter naan was to die for with its warm, amazingly buttery, perfectly baked texture. To top it off, the mango lassi was great & very tasty, even though it comes served in a plastic takeout cup. The food was so good that I ended up ordering more to go to share for lunch tomorrow! My only real complaint is wishing they weren't so far away. Overall, it's a fantastic spot if you're looking for authentic, delicious, flavorful Indian food & warm service over fancy decor.

Came here for the very first time today with my brother Peter and his daughter Kristina. Based on…read moreall the overwhelmingly positive reviews on social media, we decided to try the daily All You Can Eat Lunch Buffet for $24 per person. I'm 65 years old and have lived here on Long Island all my life in Suffolk, Nassau and Queens counties. I've been to many different restaurants over the years....and the Lunch Buffet at Saffire has to be hands down THE BEST dining experience that I've ever had in terms of FOOD, VALUE and absolutely the HOSPITALITY. It's great to be able to find such a new and wonderful Indian restaurant. THE FOOD: So let's start of first with food. An absolute 15 OUT OF 10 STARS!!! The Goat Meat was the most TENDER and TASTIEST I've ever had! The Tikka Marsala Chicken and Tandoori Chicken were also incredible.

The time we spent conversing with him today GUARANTEES a return visit to Saffire. And thanks to Michael's recommendation...I also discovered how much I like Chai Tea. Michael also introduced us to the owner Chani and his lovely wife so we could express to them directly how positive of a first visit we had. Meeting them both also enhanced how welcomed we all felt.

To order the food I used their website ordering system to place our order. When placing an order online they do give an option to pay online or at the store. When we got the food everything was packaged nicely in the bag. The portions are generous. I ordered the Special Biryani which is good if you want a little bit of everything. It has lamb, chicken, shrimp and vegetables that is mixed into cooked nuts and rice. There was a generous amount of protein in the dish. The website gives an option of either yogurt or curry sauce. I opted for the yogurt sauce which has slivers of cucumber for a creamy bite with the rice. I would describe it less tangy than a Greek tzatziki in comparison. I also ordered the plain paratha bread as a side which was thin, buttery and peel-able. I really enjoyed the meal and would order from them again.

I came here last week for an event, and got to enjoy basically a tasting menu of sorts…read more This menu took Indian flavors on a seriously fun ride. From rich and smoky to spicy, tangy, creamy, and refreshing. Banjara Tikka brought tender chicken thighs layered with yogurt, fried onion and garlic. Mauryaji Basket Chaat delivered chickpeas, potato, tamarind, mint, pomegranate and a creamy yogurt mousse. The Chicken Seekh Kebab was perfectly seasoned and savory with pickled laccha onion, while the Guntur Chilli Chicken Bao turned up the heat with Guntur red chili, sesame and refreshing beetroot shikanji shots. The vegetarian dishes absolutely held their own as well. Chilli Momo with carrot, sesame and seaweed, came out with a soft, delicate bite and a subtle chew, filled with a lightly spiced vegetable mix that leaned savory and aromatic rather than overpowering heat. The Paneer Makhni was rich, velvety, and deeply comforting. The paneer stayed soft and pillowy, soaking up a buttery tomato-cashew gravy that was slightly sweet, gently tangy, and finished with that unmistakable fenugreek aroma that tied everything together. The mains were just as unforgettable. Laal Maas came in bold and unapologetic. Tender goat slow-cooked until it practically melted off the bone, swimming in a deep, smoky gravy built on mathania chilies that brought slow heat. The Shrimp Malai Curry was the complete opposite in tone. Silky coconut milk wrapped around plump tiger shrimp, with Bengali whole spices adding a gentle sweetness and aromatic depth that made the dish feel light yet indulgent at the same time. And somehow dessert still had room to impress. Rose Kulfi was creamy, floral and sweet without being overwhelming. Drinks included everything from the floral, mezcal-and-rooza Gulabo to Mango Lassi. And as someone who historically doesn't like anything rose flavored, I enjoyed both the drink AND the dessert. Just as good as the food, was the service. It is definitely a spot that should not be missed.

Really not a great experience overall and I definitely don't see us going back which is sad because…read moreI had been wanting to go here for a few months now. The service was terrible. One person running the whole room who was the host, bartender, busboy and waiter so we were definitely being patient throughout the night as the service was slow. We received our spicy chicken appetizer before any water. But that wasn't even my biggest issue. Main problem was the amount of times we heard the word "no." No to wanting to sit in a booth (only 2 other tables sitting at the time). He told us there was a reservation for the booth that had no one ever show up for. The whole dinning room only had 2 other tables that were occupied the whole time we were there. And we were there till almost 10:00 pm. He said "no" to ordering a drink without the mezcal in it. He said no to adjusting spice level of the biryani from mild to medium. And I couldn't keep up after that but the no's kept coming. It was on the later side, my daughter was hungry so we just stuck with it unfortunately. Food was mediocre. Some good items some worse. The chicken biriyani had way too much masala on the bottom. The ratio was off completely between the rice and chicken. The firey chicken appetizer was good. The chicken tikka masala entrée came out wayyyy too spicy. And my husband loves spicy but he was literally sweating through the meal. The waiter did offer to change it but at that point we wanted to just finish and leave. He did give us 3 of the rose kulfie's to compensate for the u reasonably spicy chicken, which was the best part of the whole meal. The shrimp in my daughter's noodles were overcooked but the noodles were ok. Sadly this was our anniversary dinner. Such a disappointment! We should have gone to Baijaan like we were originally planning to!

I note that multiple other people walked into the restaurant and left immediately, apparently due to not being greeted. It was a very small operation, and a smoke detector went off in the kitchen while I was there, which seems like something that should not happen in a dedicated food service space. However, I hung on, figuring that the small and slightly sketchy suburban spot was likely to deliver delicious food, and to be fair to them, they did. Spoiled for choice, I kept it classic and got a choley bhature, a chickpea curry with two fried breads and some accompaniments. The breads came out very nicely; they are fried but weren't drowning in oil like some places. The chickpea curry had strong cinnamon notes, and combined well with onions and a hot pepper. The amount of bread was just about right. They were out of dumplings, so I got a soup, and their manchow soup had abundant freshly diced vegetables. A chai was small but did the job. I could easily have ordered any number of other things, and my conclusion was that this probably is not the place to take someone out for a nice atmospheric dinner, but if you want some satisfying comfort food, you can get it here.

Salad was also included with the meals as well as white sauce, barbecue sauce, or hot sauce. The server was very courteous and friendly, and the food was delicious. In addition, the prices are super reasonable. I could see why my nephews like this place. I would definitely return to this restaurant if I was in the neighborhood.

My only complaint? My stomach has a limit…read more My family and I have been coming to Diwan for years, and this is hands down our go-to spot for Indian all-you-can-eat. I used to frequent the Indian buffets in Jackson Heights, and honestly, Diwan is just as good, if not better! One thing I really appreciate is that they have their own parking lot, the dining room is spacious, and as a parent, I was thrilled to see they have baby high chairs. Those little details make a big difference. We stopped by for their weekday AYCE special at just $15 per adult, which is an incredible value! My plate always ends up looking the same because I can't resist the chicken biryani, palak paneer, and that rich, creamy butter chicken. Oh, and they mostly use chicken thighs! So tender and moist! I keep telling myself I'll try something different... then I walk back with the exact same favorites. No regrets. We also ordered the mango lassi, and it was fantastic! Just a little tip: it comes with ice by default, so if you prefer it without ice, just let them know when ordering. The food quality has been consistently excellent every time we've visited, and the service has always been warm and attentive. Another thing I enjoy is how peaceful the dining room is. It's not loud or chaotic. Everyone seems completely focused on the important business of enjoying their food. A couple of helpful tips: the buffet is dine-in only, so you can't pack up buffet food to take home. If you're ordering takeout, you'll need to order from the regular menu instead. They also offer children's pricing for the buffet, so if you're unsure about the details, just give them a quick call. If you're craving great Indian food without emptying your wallet, Diwan continues to be one of my favorite AYCE spots. Highly recommended!

Fresh puri and plenty of sauces, fresh rice and a very nice spread of Indian favorites. I really enjoyed everything they had to offer and especially the vegetarian options such as dhal and paneer.

We opted for the lunch buffet and were very satisfied and both price point and quality were excellent. The restaurant itself is nice with great ambiance and plenty of seating. There's also plenty of beverage options. We've been back twice already and anticipate many more visits.
