Wow did this place ever go downhill, in addition to directly defrauding/decepting our group! I was excited to bring some friends to this place for dinner, as I had been here probably 8 times over the years and had no issues. Unfortunately I was very embarassed having my friends go through this experience and will absolutely never return. See why below. Time of visit: Weekend evening, it was not very busy inside. In fact they immediately seated 6 of us. We could see multiple employees standing around. Bussers were playing rock paper scissors to see who should have to clean up a table, etc. They did not seem overwhelmed. Service: The server seemed very irritated with us being there and was kind of rude with taking our order, it felt 'off' from the start. Our water ran out pretty quickly but was eventually refilled by the bus staff. Our food orders all came out at different times which didn't make sense given the quality (see below), and had items completely missed. We had to ask several times for help with getting takeaway boxes and even the check, since we didn't see our waiter ever again after ordering. Only the bussers. I'll add specific content on "paying" below, since that's a huge part of this rating. A table next to us was getting highly irritated at how hard it was to get any server's attention. I watched her eventually just get up from her seat and go manually ask the guy for her check. Cleanliness: Both the metal cups used for water and my plates were still dirty. This is not how it was in the past. I had to scrape flakes of old food off of my plate to use it. And the cups were still wet and did not look clean, either from being pulled quickly out of the dish washer or from previously being used (hoping not the latter, but I wouldn't put it past them after this). Food Quality: My fried Chicken 65 was good. My curry (Butter Chicken) was cold, and tasted old. It also had literally no flavor as it has had in the past and neither did the Biryani we ordered. I should taste the spices, there were none. The plain naan was somehow wet? People at the table also complained that their food was old tasting, and cold. I ended up getting sick off of this meal, both an upset stomach and a headache, and unfortunately tossed the entire bag of leftovers (of which I took home probably 70% of what I ordered). Paying: We had to ask a busser to help us pay, or to help get our check, after sitting there for over 30 minutes with no one even checking in. They did immediately go get someone, phew. A guy did not bring out our check however. Instead, he showed up with a credit card machine. When going to pay, he said "we included the gratuity", told me to mark "zero" on the tip amount, and would not show us the itemized actual receipt. I thought this was a little odd, but assumed it must be one of those auto included things when you have a table of 6 or something. Where an appropriate tip amount would be 18-20% from the restaurant selection. Even with regrettably awful service and bad food. I swiped my card, and signed, hoping I'd see the details after. But I didn't. So instead, I took a look at their menu, pulled up my items, added the tax, and calculated the amount they put in as a tip. THEY TIPPED THEMSELVES 35%!!! So not only bad food, but bad service, they had the deceptive audacity to sneak themselves a 35% tip. That's unbelievable and unacceptable. I wonder how many people don't notice this happening there. While it's only probably $5-10 per table, it's theft. And fraud. Trust me, fighting this crap has been my career for 20 years. This experience triggered a memory that I had completely forgotten about at a partner location under the same ownership from about 8-10 years ago (Saffron Valley). Where I paid for a $10 buffet, and the guy added an additional $5 to my charge (after I added my own tip) by manually using the CC machine. I caught him, and called it out on the spot, as well as wrote to the owners about it. Where they ensured this would never happen again. Well, years later, at a new location, it did happen again. And it tells me it's a top down issue. Making it easy enough for me to never give any of their locations another shot. read more

My husband are always on the lookout for new delicious places to eat especially in the South Valley area. Saffron circle did not disappoint! The restaurant is beautiful and very clean. The servers very personable. The food to die for. We had the Auntys choice which is a four course meal where you pick and choose from options and serves two. We loved everything we had and will definitely be back! read more

Did the afternoon brunch. The food was very well done and there was a good selection. Somewhat taken aback at staff standing at my table watching me eat for such a long time constantly asking me if I needed something. I appreciate their attentiveness, but I felt like I was some sort of an observation project. I've been a number of times, the food keeps bringing me back, but I feel pressured with all the attention. read more

Cute place, very clean, very nice service. The food was good- chicken tikka masala and saag paneer were good with the garlic naan. Would go back again! read more

Loved all the flavorful spice combinations. Especially the shrimp tikka masala. We get takeout regularly and enjoy dining at each of their locations. read more

Good Thai and extremely tasty just watch the spice levels I like it hot and get a five bit it's too hot for others

Went here last night...very clean ...Lavanya has managed to keep the ambience pretty different between her restaurants... now to the food and service which made me give the rating that I gave... the food was standard Indian fare that you would expect at most Indian restaurants... tried the Aunty's mix where you choose items over a 4 course meal... when I read 4-course, I expect to be served the dishes at separate times... the concept seems to be lost with the servers... all 4 courses came out at the same time, including the dessert... need better service ... then got an incorrect bill, which was swiftly corrected read more

This place is amazing!!!! The dinning room is open and is very COVID friendly. You cannot go wrong with anything you get as it is very good. I would say to try something but I would say try everything and you will love pretty much all of it! Give it a shot and I promise you will love it!!!!! read more

So incredibly delicious!! The food is above and beyond most Indian cuisine we have here in Utah. The quality of the food is outstanding in so many ways. You can taste the different flavors and spices infused in each dish. We noticed with a lot of other places, the food tends to be "stale". Here at Saffron Circle, that is so far from true. Each dish came out pipping hot and FRESH! If you love Indian food, you can tell every dish is made from scratch! A must try for those who love flavors that aren't bland! read more

Love this Indian restaurant. Love it. People are friendly and the food is amazing. Go try it!!

We have been twice now since the opening. It is top notch! The Aunties menu is perfect to share and get to try new tastes. Love the Butter Chicken Samosas read more

Love the flavors, scents and quality. Nice options and excellent customer service. Will return hands down!

Amazing Indian food. The ambiance is delightful, not overly literal. Classy place, great food. Get the Pokhara's, they are fantastic. The butter chicken, saag and coconut korma is to die for!! read more

Authentic Cuisine, amazing flavor amazing service. Welcoming environment. Support this restaurant a local one to me is Herriman

I've only eaten here one time but the flavors were very complex and interesting. Quality was great. I would definitely go back.

My wife and I celebrated our anniversary over the 4 course meal and wine pairing. Food was good -- I would say it was a contemporary take on Indian. Everything was cooked well, super solid, not overly seasoned and the dessert was not overly sweet. A very good dining option, especially for the area (which lacks non-chain dining.) Interior was nice, and the service was pretty good. My only complaint is, our first 3 courses were served within minutes of each other. The wine came at awkward times, and because of that, it was hard to enjoy the pairing. For example, the server brought out the first glass of wine before the first course. Then the expeditor brought our courses 2 and 3 while we still had glass 1 of the wine. The last 3 glasses were rushed out during course 3 and 4. It was also kind of funky that the naan was brought out between course 3 and 4 (maybe it was supposed to act as a pallet cleanser?) I'm used to enjoying my Indian entrees with a side of naan, so not getting naan until after the entrees and before dessert was a bit strange. Overall a good experience and good food. I had to knock off a couple of stars though -- because of the awkward timing between courses and the wine pairing. The restaurant is new so I'm sure the staff is working out some kinks. I will try Saffron Circle again in a couple of months, hopefully some of the service issues will be worked out by then. read more

The food is excellent! What makes the experience even more delightful is the attentive and professional service you get when entering this restaurant. From start to finish you feel like you're in a much more expensive place. The food is always hot and fresh and the portions are very plentiful. This is one of my favorite all-time restaurants! read more

This place was excellent. Quality service and quality food. We ordered the butter chicken and tikki masala, and it was soooo good. I would recommend both dishes to anyone as well as the classic nan or the garlic nan, we got both. And the spicy scale goes from 1-5, but proceed with caution because we got the 3 and it was hot. Overall great experience and would absolutely recommend! read more

First time trying it. I had the butter chicken and my wife had the chicken sag. Both excellent. Plenty of food. The garlic naan was strong but that's how I like it. Great menu with quite a variety. Beer and wine list was good as well. I recommend it. read more

My daughter just moved to the area and immediately searched out the best Indian food- Saffron Circle was delicious. We ordered coconut korma and tiki Marsala- both the best we've ever had. Also vegetable pakora was a little heavy on the breading but delicious still. read more

Subbi was such an amazing server with excellent recommendations and the food was amazing. I will definitely be back!

Great food and prices. Best Indian food I've found in the valley. Highly recommend for everyone

Service was awful and food was mad spicy when I told them non-spicy. Our waiter was a creeper and I felt uneasy.

I had a great time here. I wasn't sure I was an Indian food fan so my friend had to convince me to come here but I'm really glad I did! We ordered a few things to try at our table. *Chicken coconut curry *Chicken Tikka masala *Butter chicken samosas *Mango moose cake *A Mango drink that I forgot what it was called that was amazing! Tasted like a delicious, thin, creamy mango yogurt. I loved everything! The only thing I didn't love was their naan bread cuz it was a little burned on the bottom... The waiters were super nice, helpful and checked on us often. I would totally come back here next time I'm in town and recommend it to anyone. read more

Looking for curry? This is the place to go. I have never felt so respected and appreciated as a guest than when I was at this restaurant. The food is exceptional. It is worth the extra money to have this delightful food. They use high quality ingredients in their curries and it shows. I ordered the Chicken Coconut Korma, Samosas, and traditional naan. read more

One of our favorite sit down places in Herriman. Been over a dozen times. Tried over half the menu and am yet to try something that wasn't delicious! read more

Great takeout! Every dish was packed with flavor and the coconut curry with chicken was delicious. Also highly recommend the butter chicken and the samosas. read more

Delicious food. Great, friendly service. Every time. The atmosphere is modern, clean, calming, and high quality. My husband and I eat here often, we even went on Valentine's Day. We love that we can hear each other during conversation over a yummy meal. I always order the vegetable samosas with butter chicken sauce. Thank you Saffron Circle! read more

Best Indian food ever!!! Their classic naan is to die for. My go to is the coconut curry lamb and I love getting fried rice to go and eating it throughout the week! read more

This place had great service. When we walked in they immediately helped us and sat us. Inside is very clean and well decorated. They have a lot of options on there menu and I highly recommend going! All types of options for vegetarians, gluten free and vegan. read more

Love love love their butter chicken & garlic naan! We order take out for our family very frequently. They are a bit pricey but we order a hotter version & doctor it up with coconut milk & garlic salt at home, it reduces the heat level while keeping the taste. We make more rice & all that just about doubles the order size. read more

Amazing food and great service! Ruhul was accommodating to our dairy free needs. We ordered the lamb curry and veggie curry and couldn't even finish it we were so full! Thank you sgain read more
