Delightful lunch buffet. Great selection and presentation. Everything was delicious. Be sure to try the Carro Pudding

Finally found the opportunity to stop by and try this place after seeing some great reviews. Location is fairly easy to get to, plenty of parking. Interior is very well designed. Staff are very nice and friendly. Ordered the chicken tikka masala, paneer tikka masala, saag paneer, dal makhani, garlic naan and the rosemary truffle naan. These naan options are really unique. Never seen truffle on a naan before. All the dishes were really well seasoned. Perfectly spiced with all warm spices really dancing on the taste buds. I will certainly classify this as one of my top 3 Indian restaurants read more

Food available for the lunch buffet was pretty good Good assortment and tasty However, they added a 20 percent gratituty to our check. There was only 2 of us. I think this is wrong. I always tip but it is my choice when and how much. I will not do anymore business with them read more

Omg!! I had to write this as I'm completely enjoying my absolutely delicious dinner!! I got delivery tonight and Wow!! I purchased the Alu Tikki appetizer (first time and imho better than their delicious samosas!) It is basically the potato filling from a samosa in a patty, so good! Then I go to my regulars that I order: Ali Gobhi- I think it's the best I've ever had!!! Goat Kadai-so delicious as usual!! Spicy rice- my new favorite rice dish! And last but not least the Mango Mousse Napolean- I don't usually get dessert but this one I have to order! Over all, I love this restaurant!! read more

We had SUCH a lovely lunch, and the waitress was so super nice. From the cleanliness of the place, to the lovely cutlery it felt like a very upscale experience. I had a little bit of everything and thought it was super tasty. Not too heavy considering how much I ate! Everything was so delicious. My favorite was the ground chicken curry (don't know the name) and the Naan was buttery and perfect texture. I highly recommend this place and hope it stays in this location. We really needed something special in town and this was definitely it! We weren't rushed and got to really enjoy the buffet. read more

I love Indian food, this was okay but not great. For the price the servings were tiny and the ambience of the restaurant left a lot to be desired. Service was fine, food was decent but not super memorable. read more

Saffire - Lunch buffet plate. Vegetable curry was sooooo good... would come back just for that. - Indian Near Me - Commack, New York

2026 Apr 11: we both had the lunch buffet as md ordered a mango lassi. The mango lassi looked like they had it made from scratch. The naan which is part of the buffer is excellent. Yogurt is very cooling too. I like the saag paneer too. Dishes in the lunch menu include white rice, fried noodles, samosa, saag paneer, chickpea curry, lentil, goat curry, tandoori chicken, chicken tikka masala, salad ( tomatoes, cucumber, green vegetables), naan, raita, rice pudding dessert. Rice pudding with yoghurt is excellent! But even though it is buffet, gratuity was automatically included, so it is a surprise! read more

Was very eager to try this place out & it was fantastic. The place is very spacious, indoors & outdoors, so much seating. Everyone was very friendly. The decor and vibe was modern, inviting & elegant. The food! Chefs kiss delicious! Went for the lunch buffet and tried almost everything & it was all excellent. Started with a paantini, which was a rose lychee & sambuca cocktail, very fresh tasting! I loved it! On the buffet everything was very fresh, you know how buffets can get, not this one. Had some rice with chicken tikka, lentils & veggie noodles, loved them all, round 2 had more chicken tikka, sorry it's my fav! tandoori chicken, chickpea curry, palek paneer & some naan. Their food is the best Indian I've had yet on LI. It's my new fav can't wait to go back! read more

Great ambiance. Good service. With respect to food, nothing stood out as most were typical run of the mill you find in any Indian restaurants. For a Fri night, place was 50% occupied in their main dining area but mostly by caucasians or non-desis. So definitely the food was served to their palate. They have a beautiful outdoor seating which will be a great hangout place in summer for a large group. read more

In general, I don't dig restaurants that feel like the interior of an airplane hanger. However, I had to work down the block, & the local lunch options were VERY limited. Solid, standard Indian buffet fare. Nothing is spicy - you wld have to request raw chilies on the side. Very courteous staff, prompt service, & very clean inside. Special bonus - they randomly have fresh Trumer pils on tap - currently, the best Pilsner brewed in the US. Pairs most excellently with Indian food! read more

This is not only a beautiful restaurant, but the food is very well prepared. SO many great choices, BEST naan I have ever tasted - buttery and crunchy. We went there for dinner; the Chicken Tikka Masala and Lamb Kadai were both exceptional. I don't usually like buffets, but they have one from 12 to 3 daily that is outstanding. This will be in our regular rotation. One of the best (if not THE best) Indian restaurants on the island. read more

Wow! You know when you try a new really good restaurant and find yourself talking about how good it was throughout the next day? That's Saffire. The entire dinner experience was delicious. Our party of 4 was uncertain at times, but followed the guidance of our expert waitress: samosas, garlic naan, chicken tikka masala, saag paneer, and lamb korma eaten with Peshwari rice. One dish was better than the next. We can't wait to go back for the lunch buffet to be able to taste more dishes! read more

Relatively new Indian place with authentic meals. The drink was a good mix of sweet and spicy with the mango and jalapeños. Highly recommend the samosas, they were very yummy! Tandoori chicken was good and the portion size was generous! Next time I'd like to try something spicier from the menu. read more

Really enjoyed dinner last evening. We go out to eat every Saturday and are getting bored with the same foods all the time. This was a fun place to try out new tastes. Drinks are delicious. I had a lychee mojito. Started with chicken skewer, and followed with lamb biryani. Excellent flavors. Service was amazing. Our server,Suhana,explained all the choices to us and checked several times if we were enjoying. Will definitely go back. read more

Great food! Really tasty and authentic. Service was good, place was clean and very big.

Great food, great service. Can't wait to return and try more dishes! We enjoyed the tikka masala, the korma, the tandoori mixed chicken grill, and the biryani. The garlic naan is delicious. read more

We went with friends tonight to try this new Indian restaurant which opened a few weeks ago at the site of the former Il Toscano. We were excited to see an Indian restaurant in the neighborhood, since we usually have to travel for this cuisine. The space is very pretty and roomy and we were greeted warmly. There is also a very nice patio area for outdoor dining. We shared a few appetizers, shrimp in a spicy tamarind sauce and a delicious chicken wrap. I had the tandoori chicken trio, my husband had chicken vindaloo and our friends had chicken saag, with spinach. We also had Naan and paratha. Everything was delicious, flavorful and nice portions. They have fusion dishes, include some Nepalese apps and Hakka Chinese-Indian food, which I'm looking forward to trying when we go back. Service was very sweet and attentive. . They have a full liquor license too. Definitely a nice addition to the neighborhood. They have a few non South Asian dishes too, so if you have a group where some people don't like Indian food, there are choices for them. read more

This is our third time having dinner at Saffire. It is always a very pleasant experience. The staff is very welcoming and the food is absolutely delicious. We sat at the bar for happy hour and ordered everything off of the happy hour menu. Hindi music videos are playing on the televisions which adds to the whole experience. The Punjabi hummus is my favorite. It is creamy and flavorful but not too spicy. For dinner, we had two soups (mulligatawny and lamb shorba). My husband ordered his soup very spicy and he was not disappointed. We ordered the saag paneer and tikka masala chicken. Each dish has a very unique taste with its own special sauce. We finished off the meal with the mango pastry. Every time we go, we try something new. We have always been delighted by the bountiful flavors in each dish. I highly recommend this restaurant! read more

We were met at the door by Nicky. She helped us feel comfortable in an unfamiliar restaurant. She led us into a nicely decorated dining room. We were there for a lunch buffet. We just loved the food. All of it. We would definitely go back. Thank you Saffire for a wonderful experience. read more

I can't say enough great things about this place. The food was outstanding, service was fantastic, clean and perfect for large groups or events as well. It wasn't loud so we could actually enjoy our conversations and they didn't rush us when we sat for 3 hours just enjoying our time together! They were so lovely and now a favorite spot. Definitely worth going or at the very least, order take out! You won't regret it read more

A stellar experience. Went there for the first time, taking a friend to birthday dinner, and found myself going back two days later. (I can't stay away!) This is a gracious, welcoming and friendly spot with a vast and creative menu, warm, engaging and helpful waitstaff and just a general feelgood atmosphere. This is our new go-to spot for Indian food. The food is as close to perfect as one could want; the entire staff cannot do enough to make you happy, comfortable and well-fed. Ooops, I am making myself hungry all over again..... read more

We came here on Saturday for the buffet. There were a few waiters and a waitress. Some of the tables had dirty dishes and glasses on it the entire time we were there. The entrées for the buffet, the tops were all left open and everything was cool or warm. Nothing was hot. Many fires were not on underneath. It did not seem that it was being managed appropriately. The food was typical Indian food. My husband was disappointed that there was no goat, especially for the price of the buffet. It was $24 per person. This place may have a lot of potential if they do better with cleanliness, keeping the food very hot and fresh, everything seemed to be sitting out the entire hour we ate. Maybe they want to put less out and keep it fresh and hot. read more

Saffire was recommended to my wife and I so we had to give it a try. I'm glad we did. The food was delicious! We weren't sure what to get as an appetizer so our amazing server, Nikki, gave us a suggestion and it was phenomenal. I got the Chicken Tikka Masala, and my wife got the Shrimp Tikka Masala and we paired it with some garlic naan. Outstanding! We highly recommend it! read more

I think this is the same eatery I had a great meal in East Meadow... I can't remember what I had but i definitely remember a very happy tummy! I thought this was Indian food??? The dessert offered amazing!!! I'm going here very soon. read more

Just came from the lunch Buffet at Saffire and it was great. My Wife's first Indian Restaurant and I am so glad we went here. The servers were personable and took time to explain and answer questions. The food was perfectly spiced. Wish I could have had the room for a second plate. The decor is pleasing and not overdone. We will be going back for a dinner so we can see the difference between the buffet and ordering from the menu. Best India I have had in sometime. I give Saffire 5 stars read more

Very cozy and inviting. Nikki, our server, was incredibly helpful and gave fantastic recommendations. The best Indian food in the area.

We tried this on Christmas eve. The food is delicious!! Our server, Nikki, was so knowledgeable about the menu and guided us through. The decor is gorgeous as they kept the original beautiful marble floor of when it was the steakhouse/seafood location. As far as ambiance, I think the restaurant would benefit from some walls separating parts of the dining area as, while it was nice, seemed sort of cafeteria-like and wide open. I imagine if it gets really crowded, it may be difficult to hear because of that reason. But, the food was amazing. The Tikka Masala was traditional with hints of the butter chicken. Delicious. I had the chicken vindaloo and it was good but the chicken TM won out. Also, the rice with lentils and coconut was delicious. I don't like coconut but you can't even taste it! So that was good for me. Apps: samosa trio was good; tandoori chicken skewer was only one skewer with 1 bite portions - they should make that two; a shrimp app my husband enjoyed. The garlic naan was excellent. read more

Amazing Food & Service. So nice to have this gem with such flavorful food and exceptional service. I tried many other Indian restaurants but this is by far the best. Highly recommended read more

The chicken tikka masala had just a few pieces of chicken, not even enough to share, but the sauce was delicious. Shrimp Kadai were tiny over-cooked frozen shrimp and the sauce was just ok. For $28.00, they could have splurged and used decent-sized shrimp. The "vegetarian" biriyani only had a few peas and a lot of bell peppers, but no cauliflower, broccoli, carrots or potatoes. The "onion" kulcha bread had no onions at all, only dry scallions and was tasteless. The truffle rosemary naan bread was completely dry, so we had to add melted butter to it, just to be able to eat it. Does your kitchen have ghee? The lemon zest cilantro rice was also very dry and tasteless! Never going here again - Time to go back to Curry Club. read more

Second time visiting Saffire and I'm thrilled with the food and staff! Best Indian food on Long Island.

Nice people. Had couple mixed drinks at bar. Way overpriced compared to equivalent restaurants. May or may not come back.

We have been here twice and each time everything was delicious. Appetizers that we have ordered include Samosa Trio and Paani Puri. Main courses were Lamb Biryani, Chicken Korma, Duck Breast and Seekh Kebab. The drinks are very good too. I ordered a Tito's with mango purée in club soda. It was both delicious and refreshing. My husband loves spicy food in the owner was kind enough to give him one of his hot peppers to try. There is no doubt that once my hubby makes his hot sauce, he will bring some for them to sample. We live close by and there is no doubt that we'll be a regular customer. read more

Tried this new South Asian spot on a whim, and it was wonderful! The food was exceptional -- we loved the cauliflower appetizer, samosas, tikka masala, and garlic naan. The service was also excellent. Nikki took great care of us and made us feel so welcome from the moment we stepped through the doors. Saffire is such a fantastic addition to Commack and I can't wait to go again! read more

We came to Saffire to celebrate my Mother's birthday on a Wednesday evening. The bar was busy, but the dining room only had one other table occupy when we were seated. The hostess and our server were very nice and friendly, but unfortunately the good part stopped there. Overall the service is EXTREMELY slow. The drinks took about 15-20 minutes to arrive, the appetizers about another half hour and the mains about the same after the apps. The desserts took even longer. A couple who was seated right after us waited an hour and 10 minutes to get any food at all (they were livid!). The food was beyond mediocre. It lacked any of that strong spiced flavour Indian dishes should have. I want to bring the owner's attention (if you will be reading this at all) to the Shrimp Chatpatta appetizer - what chef ever put it together and thought it was a finished dish that desereves to be a menu item??!! It is 5 pieces of small dry shrimp with an absolutely tasteless dry sauce that looked like brown toothpaste on top of the shrimp. We also ordered Papri Chaat which usually my favourite Indian appetizer, but here it was terrible - again, no flavour. Plain yogurt, crackers and flavourless chickpeas, no seasoning at all. The Amritsari Fish was really good, but it is just fried fish pieces, so hard to mess that up. My goat in Saffire Fire Sauce was mostly bones and it was not as spicy as the waitress was warning me it will be. The best dish was Goat Tikka Masala. The Vindaloo goat was mostly potato, barely any meat and , once again, lacked flavour. The desserts were absoltuly atrocious. The carrot pudding was just little chunks of carrots mixed with a little bit of chopped nuts and maybe a little sugar, that is it. I have had this dessert at other places and it is not what it is supposed to be! The rice pudding was horrid - boiled rice in some milk with a tiny bit of sugar. Both tasted more like baby breakfast food, not desserts. Overall, like others have mentioned, I don't think the place will last more than 6 months with this quility of food. read more
