HORRIBLE! I ordered tandoori chicken and Lamb briyani. Disaster on both fronts. Chicken was NOT marinate, Tasted Bland, sauted with onions, sweet bell pepper and God alone knows what! Where in the world serves tandoori cooked in a sauce and a sugary sweet sauce at that? Even an Indian kitchen in a grocer store has better food than this. Lamb Briyani - in wet clumps and rice grains were broken. More like vietnamese broken rice. Meat was rough and tough. barely any meat. Also not marinated. The only saving grace was the white rice. That was perfect. But who eats white rice alone? That's the one star. I can make both items better myself. First and last time and they are not cheap. Disappointed and a disaster. Hope they stop cheating customers. read more

Saffron Patch - Authentic Indian Restaurant - Tandoori Chicken - sweet like a candy - Indian Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

My kids live near by this Indian restaurant and so before Thanksgiving day we went for dinner. we ordered, Salmon Tika masala Masala, Shrimp Saguala, Sagg Paner, Lamb Korma, chicken vindaloo and a side of garlic naan for all of us to share. The food was very fresh and we ordered all medium level spice, the food came out with a large bowl of basmati rice. My favorite items was the Lamb Korma and the chicken vindaloo. the Salmon TIka masala I did not love. but loved the Tika Masala sauce. the sag paner was just ok. Small place with a few chairs for tables. Service was provided by a young man who was probably a family member, Black large dishes to at off of but the utensils were plastic packed silverwareish. Still all was good to come back again. read more

The food was excellent, I think this is the best lamb saag I have ever had. To those of you with an aversion to finding bones in their meal, this place is the place to choose. The service was impeccable! We did however get plastic cutlery and the business seemed to still have Christmas decorations up that were starting to breakdown. The food is out of this world, and I wholeheartedly believe that by giving this place a good straightening up they would have a very fine establishment. read more

Trying to find a good Indian restaurant in Philly has been challenging. This place was recommended by a friend so I decided to check it out. I did an order online for pick up which was quick to get. There is no parking near the restaurant except street parking which is often a challenge. The restaurant itself is pretty small and well decorated but no one was at the front when I arrived. Not sure if there was seating on the second floor. I got the lamb curry and the lamb biryani as they are my favorites. The lamb curry was flavorful and good. On the other hand, I would not recommend the lamb biryani as it had no flavor whatsoever. read more

This was my second time ordering Saffron Patch. This time, I got to try the chicken vindaloo, a lamb spiced yogurt dish called Lamb Dopiaza. Also got to try the Mulligatawny soup abd the spiced garlic naan. The vindaloo was absolutely the most flavored, spicy indian dish I've received. On the border of too spicy, but it was so tasty. The chicken in it was good quality too. The lamb, though, was mild, still well spiced, and so tender. Still love the rice from here, and the naan they give is a huge piece (it could be split between two people if you want). All in all, a pretty good amount and an awesome level of flavor from this place! read more

What the F? I ordered the vegetable assortment and it came with about 8 peices of fried what tasted like chickpeas...this is a vegetable assortment?? I also ordered the meat assortment. Alot of the items here tasted dry with no dipping sauces. Not that cheap either. Dessert - Ras Malai - Sweete ned cottage cheese balls dipped in creamy sauce.$4.99 This dessert is extremely small in portion sauce. It wasnt bad but cmon guys satisify the customer at dessert time just in case you fail at meal time its not that most more money to give a little more dessert with the bill of entire meal paid at order time is it???? I got the bread basket as well at $8.99 but feel like I made a grave error as the other breads are much cheaper and do not recommend spending this much on naan bread. This spot may have some good items like the baby eggplant with sesame sauce I kinda wish I got instead but I will not be back. As always people SYOY!!! read more

I ordered catering from here (palak paneer, daal makhani, rice, and butter naan) for a meeting and it was a hit!! Everything was so flavorful and filling and everyone at the meeting kept complimenting the food (and we have some picky eaters in our group too). The service was fantastic-they even walked the food out to our car for us which was so nice of them to do. The inside of the restaurant is also super clean and inviting- I'll definitely come back to dine in next time! read more

Only can comment on the delivery (never eaten in the restaurant). The CTM is my favorite in Philly -- and I've tried them all. Big portions.

Delicious Indian food in South Philadelphia. Flavors were great. Some of the dishes like tandoori Malai Kabab were served differently than other Indian places so be mindful of that, but delicious read more

The BEST Indian food ever. Definitely coming back when we are in town. #AMAZING Your fan from California Giomara (Mexican) + Han (Viet) read more

Saffron Patch - Authentic Indian Restaurant - Masala, Chicken Butter, Veggie & Meat Samosas, Garlic Nan - Indian Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

I see no reason other than to give a five star here! But it's noteworthy this was a quarantine grub hub dinner so we didn't actually visit the Patch! Our food was delivered HOT and way faster than the grub hub app anticipated. It was packaged very well, rice separated, Raita and Mango Chutney separated! We ordered Lamb Vindaloo and Butter Chicken! The Lamb Vindaloo was AUTHENTIC. There were even pieces of cardamom leaves (careful not to bite into one- wow it's flavorful). Normally I'm a wimp with spice but my date let me try hers and it was pleasantly spicy! Not too much but there was certainly a KICK. Of course the Raita (the yogurt sauce) was a great addition. The Butter Chicken was delicious! The pieces of chicken were tender- you could cut them with a fork! And the rice was perfect. Paired with the Raita & Mango Chutney- this was certainly worthy of five stars. Looking forward to visiting the restaurant after after this quarantine! read more

Saffron Patch - Authentic Indian Restaurant - Indian Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

My wife and I used to live in South Philly. We started ordering from this business at their former location. We now live in Bucks County and it's STILL the only Indian food we order. Tika Masala, Saag and veggie samosas are to die for. You'll be hard pressed to find better Indian food in the area. read more

We got a spicy eggplant dish and an okra dish, both vegan. They were both very tasty. We also go rice desert and a mango desert that were excellent. The food has more fat than we would use at home, I would admit. Service was adequate. We pad $15 for each dish and $6 for each desert. Reasonable, not cheap. read more

This hole in the wall restaurant located in South Philly is soooo good. I have passed them many times, but yesterday decided to finally give them a try. I called in my order. The owner was very pleasant and told me that it would be ready in 20 minutes. I took my time walking down and you could smell the garlic a mile away coming from this restaurant. The meat samosas were huge. You get 2 per order and they were a meal in themselves. The mint dipping sauce was very tasty and not overly minty. I then had the chicken makni and it was amazing. Enough food for at least 2 meals. Garlic naan smelled so good and just enough crisp to it. I highly recommend this place for great authentic Indian food. Will definitely return. read more

Omg I'm so happy I live a mile away!! And they deliver!!food is consistent and phenomenal!!! Try it it won't disappoint!!

Saffron Patch has been my go to for Indian in Point Breeze because its so close to my house. The food is pretty good and it's delivered very quickly, generally much quicker than they estimate. You also get a slight discount if you order directly from them over the phone. I've never actually gone to the location, but they've always been great when ordering takeout over the phone. It's an excellent spot for a quick, affordable, and very filling dinner in the neighborhood. read more

Fantastic food and friendly staff! The lamb saag was particularly marvelous and the garlic naan was on-point. Will definitely be back.

I had this yesterday for dinner and had to come on Yelp to rave about the Chicken 65. My go-to Indian dish is always something along the lines of Tikka Masala or Butter Chicken so I was feeling adventurous. It's so delicious! The flavors were so complex with the different spices yet delicious. You got sweet, spicy and salty all in one go. The ginger kicks it over the edge. I also had the Chicken Coconut and Aloo Paratha which was delicious. read more

Saffron Patch - Authentic Indian Restaurant - Indian Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Nothing that blows me away here: but it's good ol' reliable westernized Indian food, and it's a few blocks from my house. One good thing? The portions are enormous: it's usually enough for dinner and breakfast the next morning. Shipping is pretty quick, and all the containers are reusable (big plus in my book). To be truthful, I wouldn't venture outside of my neighborhood to go to this spot - but since it's so close, I'll keep going back. read more

Best Indian restaurant around, i get chicken 65 most of the time and its perfect. They do not disappoint on the portion sizes either!

I was looking for some good quick eats and boom found Saffron Patch! If you are looking for authentic iIndian cuisine look no further. This place has it going on! I ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala to go but ended up eating inside. The food came out fast and hottttt! This place is relatively new in the area but man but once people find out about them they won't be empty for long. I wished I lived in south Philly because I would come here all the time. Be bless read more

The baingan bharta just ... didn't taste good. The dine-in silverware was packaged plastic - like fast food takeout. The server was nice, at least, and the dining room was clean. Better options in the neighborhood. read more

I love Indian food, but this place was such a disappointment. Ordered the shrimp tikka masala, and it was overly sweet and the shrimp was questionable. It melted like mush on the first bite. read more

Folks. Wow. Tandoor is amazing! Wanna know how I'm not just a person who works there and is posting a review to boost itself? HEY TANDOOR WHAT ARE YOU THINKING MAKING YOUR INTERIOR LOOK LIKE A CHEAP TAKEOUT RESTAURANT?!?!?! I would not only bring a bottle for BYOB, but I'm willing to bring chairs and a table to get your food as fast as possible. Not only is this the best Indian food I've ever had, but it's easily one of the top 5 food spots for me in all of Philadelphia. If you ever walked by the place and then checked the menu prices your gonna be like "the heck are you doing charging these prices", because you think it's grub hub fast food. NOPE!!! This food is amazing. Here's what we got: (and the picks will show we already ate some. We were hungry. Deal with it) this is in order of the photos Chicken Saag, Gobi Manchurian and Lamb Boti Kebab. Although not advertised each entree comes with jasmine rice FYI. The entrees were amazing. The meats were marinated and well tenderized. They were NOT just broiled meat and then swimming in sauce. The Gobi Manchurian was so amazing. I know fried cauliflower is such an outdone thing at restaurants, but these folks do it amazingly. It's crispy and melts in your mouth. I will be going here again, but again, HEY TANDOOR LET ME INSIDE YOU TO EAT IN. The Fab 5 guys need to hit up your interior. read more

The food is also delivered quickly, extremely hot, and so delicious! We've ordered from them twice in a week and have been satisfied each time. Highly recommended! read more

I get what I deserve: i forgot my own review of this horrible place! It get's top ratings on Grubhub you can see how valuable THEY are! The food is still awful, unbelievably so. I even made the mistake of getting the buffalo wings! Do not order from here! read more

I do not understand the reviews, this is the best indian food I have tasted. I had the butter chicken/naan and butter chicken. Chicken is perfect, naan is right and MOST importantly the sauce is just right. I do not give many good reviews because I have high expectations but Saffron meets it. read more

Love it thy have never let me down. There is nowhere else I will get that kind of food from PA

This gets a solid three stars for me. I've tried it twice now and both times I have enjoyed the flavors of the food (although I would bet they use sugar in the masala) but the chicken is hd a bit of a strange texture for me. Not to say don't get it but this is pretty average takeout food and nothing more special than that. read more

Great Food and Great Customer Service! Potato naan with spicy palak paneer. Lentil soup is The Best!

Ok. So, I'm a little disappointed in this place. I read through each of the menu items carefully as I am vegan. I wanted to make sure that nothing that I wanted had dairy. When I called to place my order for pickup, I asked the gentleman who answered the phone if anything that I was ordering contained dairy as I was vegan. He told me no. When I got home and started to chow down, I noticed that the rice had a certain taste to it. I could clearly taste butter. I called them back and asked if they put butter in their rice and they told me yes. Now, when I asked him the first time when I was placing my order if any of the entrees that I was ordering has dairy, he could have informed me about the rice containing butter. Do better, SP. If the curry lentils weren't so delicious, this would have been a 1 star rating. read more

Great food, prompt service. As a person who grew up in India, I must say the food at this take out joint is a gem in South Philly, The chicken wings is flavorful and different than other traditional wings. Big plate, good to share with someone. Naan is also freshly made, delicious. Definitely order again read more

Loyal customer since March!! My partner and I order delivery in date nights and we never fail to get samosas, chicken tikka masala, lamb biryani, aloo gobi, and naan. The flavors are so good, you probably would expect it to be a homemade meal, not restaurant food. They give such great portion sizes, although the samosas got smaller over the last year. They're insanely fast for delivery! read more

Food is absolutely delicious! Everything I have ever eaten from there was amazing. Highly recommend this place!

Wow their food did not disappoint! I got the malai kofta, lamb curry, garlic naan. The food was hot, flavorful, and delicious. Will order again for sure. read more

Love Saffron Patch! Delicious food, especially the Lamb Saag and Indian buffalo wings. Always arrives hot and on time.

My partner and I decided to eat from Saffron Patch from Grubhub right before they closed for the night. We had never heard of this place before but we were craving Indian food! We ordered their Butter Chicken and Chicken Tikka Masala both of which were good. The portions for the amount we paid for, however were not worth it because the portions were small for a relatively expensive dinner. Overall Saffron Patch was a tasty choice for late night Indian food but was not worth what we paid for. read more

This spot has quickly become our favorite Indian restaurant in south philly! We live on the same street (lucky us) and we've ordered everything from your basic chicken tikka masala to vegetable samosas, chicken 65(my fave), palak paneer (vegetarian), naan( butter,garlic , or galic&cheese). The list goes on those are just a few favorites , they also sell their own rice pudding and lassi drinks (mango is a must) and other soft drinks (sodas,teas,water). Lastly order ahead on the phone for 10% discount! read more

Good place-Malai Kofta and sheekh kabab had great flavor, the kabab was dry as if it had been sitting under a warmer for the day. Worth trying and possibly trying again but has not earned a place in the daily or monthly rotation. read more

Lets begin with the guy who took the order over the phone. That guy doesn't even know how to talk to customers. He was so rude. I called him to know how long is it going to take, he became mad and started yelling. I asked that fellow why are you mad? He hung up. His brother delivered the food and i confronted him. He said that was his brother and do whatever you want to do. So i am writing this to let everyone know this is highly inappropriate. read more
