My husband wants to try out this Indian restaurant for our belated Valentine's dinner. I didn't realize it was a chain until I started searching online for food pics. We parked in the parking lot a block behind the restaurant. 6pm-8pm were free parking. And with little walk to the restaurant during this winter cold weather. First impression when I arrived, this looks like a mom & pop shop. It seems quite small. So i would suggest maybe making a reservation ahead of time would be ideal. Service was excellent! Food was pretty good. Both my husband and I enjoyed our meal. Although both of us agreed that another Indian restaurant around our house tastes better, but this place ain't too bad. We ordered 2 mango lassi once we arrived. Before my husband placed the food order, he already pretty much kill that drink off. It was just good!! Definitely worth a try. Note: For $30+ if you pay with cash, there is 10% off your subtotal. read more

I ordered a chicken biryani spicy yesterday and it was delicious. Love the little amount of crispy onions, spices, & flavors. Looking forward to ordering again! Would highly recommend. read more

Crowded, busy, service a bit slow because it was so crowded and a first Friday night in Ambler when the whole town was out on Butler Pike. but this was REALLY good Indian food, extremely well cooked with rich flavors and good seasoning. We'll be back!! read more

Saffron is a longtime favorite of ours and I realized I've never posted a review. It's his is our go-to place for Indian food, the quality is consistently high and the meals are always delicious. In 15 years of ordering take out and dining in here, we have never once been disappointed. read more

So good!!! Quick service, really good food, excellent packing for delivery. I definitely this restaurant to those in the area.

The food and staff are amazing at the Ambler Saffron location. you can't go wrong with anything that's on the menu, especially the chicken and lamb dishes. I have never had a bad meal.

Great food, attentive service, refreshing atmosphere, consistent place for lunch or dinner. Great lunch spot. Delivery is available for home or office. read more

During my trip to Philadelphia and staying at hotels, I decided to order some Indian food via delivery. I went pretty simple with some buttered chicken and some garlic naan. They allowed you a variety of spice levels so I opted for medium not knowing what to expect. This food was delicious. So glad I did a double order of the naan. Since it was a delivery I had to only do 4 stars because I was missing my utensils I requested. Give this place a try! read more

We ordered take out for the first time at this restaurant. Chicken tikka masala was small portion. The food was tasty. The naan was good. Not sure if I would order again from this restaurant. I have had better taking food. read more

Saffron is definitely an unexpected gem right on Butler Ave in downtown Ambler. I'm glad that we decided to go in person instead of ordering delivery. We ate right on the street and their presentation was fantastic. We started with two veggie samosas that were really good (so good, in fact, that I forgot to take Yelp pictures of them). I got the Boti Kabob Masala and added veggies. My girlfriend got Chicken Tikka Masala and a Mango Lassi. We split Aloo Naan and got basmati and raita to share with our main dishes. For ~$80 this was more than enough food. My favorite part of the meal was that the dishes were served family style in their own bowls and you could mix your dish however you wanted. Everything seemed very fresh and was delicious. PRO TIP: Sometimes "medium spicy" can be too spicy at an Indian place but the waiter here offered "in between mild and medium spicy" which was just perfect. Definitely try this place. It's different than the American/Italian places nearby. read more

Food was tasty and service was solid. Nice local place. Place is not fancy but the important part was the food. I recommend.

I dined-in at Saffron for the first time last night. First, I would like to say that the food was amazingly delicious. We had the lamb korma, ghobi aloo - a cauliflower and peas dish, and vegetable samosa. We also ordered fresh naan. I am a stickler for freshness, and this restaurant really made the grade. Since everything is prepared to order, we had a choice of spiciness, and we asked for regular spices. The condiment offerings were also excellent - tamarind sauce and a coriander sauce. Service was exceptional, given the current restrictions on dining-in. We were actually the only guests dining-in at the time. However, only a few tables are in use, allowing for ideal social distancing. The waiter was wearing gloves and a mask for our safety. Utensils were carefully wrapped in a cloth napkin, and then in a plastic bag. I observed a lot of people coming in to pick up take-out orders. Everyone was able to pick up and leave with their food in a speedy and timely manner. I'm so glad I finally gave Saffron in Ambler a try. I will definitely return. read more

Not very good. Expected better. Tried many Indian restaurants and it was not the greatest

Tandoori chicken is definitely delicious! So, are their kebabs. Have tried paneer tikka masala, it is on the slightly sweet side read more

I live blocks from a well-renowned little India in Queens, NY - I've eaten a lot of good Indian food and this place is good. The locals swear by it. We picked up a dinner for 4 adults. Lamb chops, papri chat, vegetable biryani, malai kofta, and all but me had rice pudding after the meal. The malai kofta dumplings were too mushy and were drowned in a sauce almost as perfect as that I get in NYC. The rice (made without raisins - special request) was yummy and could have carried more spice. The meat eaters devoured the lamb chops and I tried the papri chat (which was delivered dry and then doused with all but one of the sauces included in the bag) and it was yummier than those I've had in NYC. Next time, I'd like to dine in at one of the outdoor tables. read more

Second time back, saw a movie at the Ambler Theater and returned to Saffron for dinner. Started off with a plain dosa, was okay. Will need to try the kotti roll next time. Shared the June menu entree special- methi mango chicken, very nice, tender white meat, light mango seasoning taste and also had the goan shrimp curry which is also a nice flavorful dish. They can adjust the spice. BYOB Call for reservation as they book up. read more

We love Saffron- the food is consistently great. The service is friendly and efficient. We love that it's byob.

As always, the food, service and ambience make this a local gem. We always feel so welcomed and never rushed. Highly recommend!! Also, it's BYOB and everything is from scratch- don't miss if you are in town! read more

Absolutely delicious! The butter chicken and garlic Nan are my absolute favorite. Great service, a little expensive but worth it!

We had never tried many Indian dishes before tonight. A friend recommended we try Saffron so we have a try. What a great choice! Everything we had was absolutely delicious. We went with what was recommended but next time we will try other stuff. The food was ready so quickly and waiting for me as soon as I walked in to carry out. We got the Chicken Tikka Masala, Tandori Chicken, and the Dhaba Dall (Lentils). All absolutely fantastic. Can't wait to try more. read more

Some of the best tasting Indian food I've ever had. I had aloo gobi, chicken tikka masala, lamb roganjosh, veggie samosas and garlic naan. I did takeout but the place looked very nice for when indoor eating is capable again. read more

Just had the most delicious dinner. I had the murg vindaloo and my wife had the shrimp biriyani. The food and service were both excellent. Will definitely pay them another visit. read more

The food here is delicious, and I have never been disappointed by anything that I ordered from here. The interior is clean and well decorated, generally giving it a nice higher end vibe, like the kind of place you can bring someone to a date on. If you're not familiar with indian cuisine, try their chicken tikka masala, you can't go wrong with it. I personally like their Murg Adraki. The usage of ginger in the dish is interesting and is tasty with either chicken or lamb. All of their breads are excellent and worth trying out. The only reason I'm giving them a 4 star is because the menu prices can be a touch high, but everything else about them is just about perfect. read more

The butter chicken was too sweet, my girls hated it. Spoiled there appetite. Never again!

I wanted to like this place. It's so close to home. But it was not great tonight. My wife got the butter chicken which she thought tasted sweet. And her rice was slightly under cooked. My chicken Kathi was plus minus. Just not great overall. $33 is a little high for the quality. read more

This place is great! I'm usually pretty skeptical about Indian restaurant because I have high hope but Saffron did not disappoint. Its a small place with limited seating (also tables outside) they have sparkling and regular bottled water on each table your choice of what you want or you can pick from their drink menu. Either way you get charged. I ordered chicken madras (waiters recommendation also its off menu) with the spice level of "Indian spicy" which means its the spiciest they can offer. Chicken tikka masala (spicy), garlic and butter naan, vegetable samosa and lastly mango lassi which tamed down the heat. I honestly enjoyed my meal. I would definitely come back and recommend this place! read more

My go-to Indian place! I ordered the Mango Lassi, it tastes like a sweet smoothie and it was fantastic. Coupled together with garlic naan and butter chicken (same as chicken tikka masala, but with dark meat,) this meal is amazing! I truly love Saffron for their friendly staff, the clean and romantic decorum, and plenty of seatings, I highly recommend this place to anyone craving indian. read more

We placed our order online for pickup as they opened. The food was ready pretty quickly, as it showed as ready for pickup 15 minutes later. Walked into the store for pick up and the food smelled amazing, which is always a good sign. First and only real down fall they had was did not give us utensils. I ordered a Chicken Madras. I took a quick taste of the sauce, which I asked to be made extra spicy and they delivered. A lot of places when you ask for this they don't really add spicy and keep it the same. My sauce had a kick and I did find myself reaching for something to drink half way through eating because of how spicy it was. The Madras sauce it the perfect amount of creamy. They didn't water it down or put too much coconut milk in. I know Basmati rice is less fluffy and moist than Jasmine rice, but the rice I had felt extra dry compared to previous times I have had it. Could be the rice was sitting for a while after being made. But, with the sauce from the chicken it was fine. You get a pint of the food that you order (your chicken, vegetable, etc) and a pint of rice. It also comes with a side salad and an accompaniment of the day. read more

Very good Indian food. Love the duck dishes and the variety of spices & herbs. Tasty!

I have been searching for Indian Cuisine in these parts that actually delivers on heat and Saffron does just that! Our waiter was kind enough to inquire about how spicy we wanted our lamb vindaloo, based on a scale of 1-10. We totally went for it with a 10 and were overjoyed by how spicy it was! We also ordered saag paneer (at a 7) and garlic naan, both of which were the perfect balance to that fiery lamb dish. We were the only ones there on a Wednesday night, but I'm hoping the take-out orders were compensating for the empty dining room. BYOb was of course, a plus. We brought along a chilled vinho verde which turned out to be a great pairing. Will return again and again. read more

I was traveling and looked up the place on Yelp. My expectations for the Indian food was average but Saffron took even a notch further down. I ordered Madras lunch with shrimp and a naan. Not only the shrimp curry had no southern taste, I would not even called it Indian dish. Basically 5 shrimp in tomato sauce with large chopped pieces of onion. The rice that came with it was dry. As a lunch special it came with the salad which was a few lettuce leaves with some vinaigrette sauce. The daal (chola and rajma) had no flavor and had sweet after taste. I ordered a naan on the side and that was okay. read more

My husband and I came here for the first time last and WOW -- everything was so good! I've only had Indian food once before last night, but I really wanted to try it again and we'd only heard good things about Saffron. All of the good things were true! The wait staff was incredibly friendly and helpful when recommending a drink or a spice level for our food. We started with the Vegetable Samosas and they were delicious. The flavor was fantastic so I didn't even bother with the sauces they came with (maybe I will next time). For dinner, my husband ordered the Paneer Tikka Masala (sweet with a little bit of a kick) and I ordered the Saag Paneer -- holy moly, I couldn't get over the flavor with this dish! We also ordered Rogini Naan and I couldn't stop scooping up it all up with the naan. The portions are generous as well so I was thrilled to have leftovers for lunch today. :) I honestly can't say anything bad about this restaurant and I can't wait to come back and try something new in the future. Hopefully that will be sooner than later! read more

Everything we ordered was awesome! Started with Papri Chaat, ordered Peshawari and Garlic Naan, both great, definitely get Peshawari! We went level 3 for spicy and it was balanced perfectly with the Mango Lassi. All 4 main dishes were also phenomenal! We will be back! read more

I always chose el lemon over saffron cause I am a big fan of Mexican food but I decided to finally give this place a try. I don't know if it was just the particular day or if it's how they are every day, the people serving look kinda miserable. they kinda brought down the mood a little bit... anyways, I ordered the mango lassi first. I tried the drink at different places and didn't like it but this place, they make it mighty good. very creamy and moderately sweet. I then got the chicken tikka masala (i know... classic) and my friend got the honey chicken so I got try some. both were very very good; the chicken was very tender and the sauce was delicious. looks can be very deceiving... when the food came out, it looked like it wasn't that much but half way in, I got really full. they give you all you can eat rice so don't be afraid to ask. the only thing is that the price is around 15-20 per person but considering the amount of food they dump on you, I guess it's worth... (?) there are other places in ambler that I would personally go to but, if you're a fan of Indian food and is in the area, I would go here. read more

Saffron Indian Kitchen deserves the good reviews it has received since opening in the busy town of Ambler right outside northwest Philadelphia. It always seems to be busy. I'm sure being situated between the Act One Playhouse of Ambler and the Ambler Movie Theatre contributes to this, but so does the good food and excellent service. The food served here spans the entire length of the Indian sub-continent and I took advantage of that the last time I was here. Dhosas from the deep south of India are the perfect way to begin a meal here especially as they are served with a lentil broth and a coconut chutney. I would have preferred the accompaniments to be spicier than they were and like they are served up in Tamil Nadu in the south of India. For my main course, I went completely in the other direction - up to the Punjab. They cooked a superb version of one of my favorite northern Indian dishes - Paneer Makhani. The cheese and seasonings were well blended and the hot sauce that they gave me provided the kick I was looking for. This dish is served as it is in Punjab in a copper kadai which adds to the visual presentation. Saffron Kitchen is perfect for those who want a tasty Indian meal in an attractive setting and where you can park nearby and maybe take in a show or movie afterwards! read more
