    Garlic naan
    Timothy L.

    Super solid Indian food! I got the butter chicken with garlic naan and both just really slapped! No complaints! The naan was so huge I had so much to take home and enjoy the next day!

    Butter Chicken
    Vicki S.

    Saffron Grill is one of my favorite Indian Restaurants in the Northgate neighborhood of Seattle. They make the version of Mango Lassi that I like and you can't go wrong with the flavor and richness of their Butter Chicken. Order this with one of their Naan Breads and it is the perfect meal. If Butter Chicken is too American and basic for you, you should also try their Vindaloo or Madras Masala. Both of these dishes I found to be very delicious and flavorful. Another positive thing I like about Saffron Grill is how they also offer American, Vegetarian, and Mediterranean fare. Don't miss their Crisp Calamari and Samosas if you want to order appetizers. They accept reservations, have a large parking lot, and can accommodate large groups.

    This is a great Indian Food Restaurant. The food is delicious and the staff are outstanding. They also serve Mediterranean Food, but I didn't try it during this visit. I highly recommend this restaurant.

    Great food and atmosphere. We were seated at the bar and still were able to have an intimate date. The environment was moderately noisy since it was packed, but you could still have a normal conversation without having to raise your voice much. As soon as you walk in, you smell the curry in the air and feel the warmth the restaurant brings. The food was savory and fresh. The staff were very friendly and checked in to make sure we had everything we needed regularly. The parking is a bit tight due to their proximity to the hotel behind them, but it is not impossible. You can only enter on the Northgate Way street going West bound, so plan accordingly. Overall, great for small or large groups and individuals who want a good solo meal. Portions are just right. They do offer takeout orders as well and are fast in preparing them. We came back the following week for a pickup order and it was ready in 25 minutes.

    Paneer Naan
    Gabriella R.

    We had an amazing experience at Saffron! We got in late, but the staff was incredibly accommodating and got our order in quickly. The food came out fast and was absolutely delicious--top-notch service all around. We ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala with paneer garlic naan, and it was incredible. The flavors were rich, comforting, and perfectly spiced. We also shared the Greek salad, which was huge, fresh, and so tasty. The price point is very fair for the quality and portion size--you could easily split one of the chicken dishes between two people. The interior decor is also stunning--warm, inviting, and beautifully designed. If you're debating whether to dine in or order to-go, this is your sign: go for it. You won't be disappointed!

    Gyro Platter
    Wendy K.

    Hadn't been here so long not sure I even had a yelp account back then. Went with friends this past Friday. Needed to catch up they take reservations but it's a good thing we didn't make them cause my friend driving had to push back our time to meet. Probably go there about 7:30 and they seated us fairly quickly in the bar. Staff is extremely friendly and helpful. We shared a few dishes family style. We each selected a dish and added the plain naan. The Gyro Platter, Royal Biryani with chicken and Mango Curry with chicken. My go to is Biryani at an Indian restaurant or dal soup. But my friend had alre selected the Birayani. Mango curry was a little sweet for me I should of guessed that and ordered something else but that's a personal preference. Loved the biryani first time having it with nuts in the dish adds a great texture. Can't go wrong with the Gyro platter. Generous servings and we each went home with leftovers of the dish we selected. Always forget how large the space is it was great to see the doing good business on a Friday night. Decor is warm and welcoming. Hopefully it's not such a long wait on my return.

    Huge Garlic Naan
    Yuchen Z.

    2.5 if I could but I rounded up. I'm a little confused about the high ratings of this restaurant, but I wonder if it just appeals to the masses more. I'm always suspicious and doubtful of restaurants with an expansive menu and especially one that crosses over multiple cultures. For example, this one has Indian, Middle Eastern and American cuisine on their menu. It is odd to me when you can get prime rib at a place that also serves Aloo Gobi. Food: we got the Aloo Gobi and the lamb korma, and neither was really good. The portions were OK but honestly a little small for the price. The lamb was tough and I just found it to be kind of bland. We did also get the garlic naan and that I found to be really yummy and really large. Service and ambience: the service was fast and friendly. This place was obviously very popular and very hopping on a weekend night. So I guess my opinion is pretty unpopular, but it is what it is. I feel like there are much better Indian restaurants that are nearby so I would not recommend this place.

    Paneer Tikka and chicken Pakoras
    Sagittarius A.

    Very solid meal, not too sweet or greasy, as I often find to be the case with Indian restaurants in the seattle metro area! I ordered the paneer tikka and chicken pakora for my meal. They were delicious, just what I was craving. Not the best I've ever had of either, but definitely very good, and with a good portion size. I was starving hungry, and could only finish about half of each. My dining companion had the chicken bhindi masala, it was it quite good as well. Nicely seasoned, great texture, not sweet. I would go here again, if in the area!

    We came to Saffron at 4:30 on Saturday as a party of 2. This was my first time sitting in Saffron's bar, which is comfortable, spacious and gorgeous to look at. I ordered their Tequila Junglebird, which was tropical and nice. We split their Chicken Tikka and Garlic Naan between ourselves, and left with very happy tastebuds and bellies. I am a longtime lover of Saffron and their food. I liked the bar staff and would love to come back!

Small parking lot in behind the building and there's a pool table in the back corner of the bar. It's a nice local bar but you also feel that "see a new face, give a stink face" service that I'm noticing Seattle local bars/restaurants do a lot. The food is mediocre to disgusting. It is made by the bartender (which we wish we knew beforehand). Just from that knowledge, you already picture a certain quality of food. It was actually worst than we thought it'd be. We ordered drinks, Mac n cheese, hot dog & chips, and their special homemade recipe of Swedish meatballs. We were excited to taste all of it and were super hungry. Skip the meatballs, it tasted worst than Walmart brand meatballs. It had an obvious cardboard and processed texture and taste. They tried to mask it with mash potatoes but the quality of the mash potatoes couldn't be hidden. The only thing that saves the meal throughout was the garlic bread. If you're lit, the food won't matter but you'll definitely feel it on the toilet later. The hot dog and chips came 10mins after the rest of the food came and that was kinda lame. It was the fasted thing to make but still had to wait for awhile for a simple dish. Plus it was just potato chips, not fries so what's taking so long.

And worse they served it warm. I would order it again though. So somebody should have put the fries in sooner. Happened to be sitting across from the open kitchen where the food was going out and hats off to their tempura batter fish and chips! The portions and presentation we're well above average they were really attractive looking plates. The bartender absolutely nailed my Spanish coffee and even gave me tequila choice! It was perfect. It took a little while on the bread pudding so I ordered another Spanish coffee, now she's driving. The banana bread pudding was exceptionally good in every way! Saw some big, juicy sliders going by, she wanted to order them next time and I agreed. Overall, I would definitely go back again. And I'm not even a sports fan unfortunately.

We even said something to them about the line assuming they didn't see and they said they'd told the host. I don't think the host realized what happened, but it started the experience off on a bad note. There were water cups but water wasn't filled until 30 minutes in when we asked. I got an iced tea with no sweetener. I had to ask and then it was a limited assortment and the sugar was chunky (old, exposed to water?). They were out of two of the vegetarian options: veggie patty for their burgers and the fried artichokes. We were there two hours after opening so it seemed odd that they were out already. Maybe they had a big party of vegetarians before us. Everyone felt incredibly stressed out and the atmosphere was chaotic. There was no proactive service. I had to flag people down to ask for water, sweetener, a refill. Everyone was rushing around and not paying attention to basics like empty drinks (even empty beers). They were definitely understaffed. The staff that were there were trying, but it affected the experience. The food was actually very good. The jerk cauliflower was tasty and the chicken parm sandwich was good according to my dining companion. Large portions and flavorful. I hesitate to write bad reviews and just attribute things to bad nights but this was definitely notable. I've wanted to try this place for a while but I wish we'd gone somewhere else.
