They have two locations: North Olmsted and Beachwood (Legacy Village). Do not expect them to be the same. They're both fantastic for different reasons. The North Olmsted location has a weekend lunch buffet, which my wife and I love. Beachwood does not, BUT they have something better. I can't remember what they call it, but it's a combination of entrees, rice, bread and dessert for one price $17 or $18. You can get it as Vegetarian or non-vegetarian. It comes on a big round "bowl/dish" with smaller bowls inside (like a large masala dabba, if you know what that is). The portions are perfect. They may look small at first, but you will get full! Beachwood is a more upscale version of SP. N. Olmsted is also very nice, but a little more of a casual atmosphere. My wife and I love both of them. We just tried the Beachwood location last weekend, and it was sooooo delicious. The atmosphere is very nice, and the staff was great. Try it!!! read more

Seven of us foodie friends (Indians) went there this afternoon for lunch. This is a new location in Legacy Village where Wild Mango used to be. Very nice ambience, looks very upscale. Decor is amazing! We order non-veg thali (platter) as this place doesn't have buffet. For $15 you get chicken, lamb, Dal, veg kofta. Raita. One samosa one pakora, rice pudding for dessert. Nice for the price. No other lunch menu. And that's where it ends. No one from our group liked any of the items. Lamb tasted kinda sweet and meat was tough. Chicken Tikka masala was thick with sauce but no taste. And all the items in the thali was the same. The raita was very salty, rice pudding d was tooooo sweet and flavorless!!! Will not go back, do not recommend. Regular menu items are very pricey!! Serving was very good. read more

My wife of 50+ years and I enjoyed an excellent dinner tonight. Needless to say that the food was good but on top of it the service was too good. Hostess Ms Nandani made our evening to remember with her recommendations and made us feel like eating at our grandchildren home .God bless her for her extra effort to make us feel at home Faloda was a very good choice for dessert and so was Pastashew kulfi that made us a feel of back home. We very strongly recommend to all seniors of south Asia and all Americans to visit this restaurant. Dr. And Mrs. Javaid , a residents of Cleveland for the last 54 years read more

Outstanding quality dinner! The Chicken Tikka Masala and garlic naan were fantastic. Delicious flavors and I appreciated all our food came out hot. The dining room was comfortable and classy.

Food was awesome! Our server Cynthia was Amazing very personable and helpful. Drinks were really good also. Had a pear martini it was great

We have typically enjoyed the food at Saffron Patch, but just ordered from their new location. The price has increased significantly and the Salmon Tikka was an entirely different preparation which was bland and not worth the increased price. Sadly, we will not return. read more

Stopped in and enjoyed a lovely meal with my husband. We both ordered the Mumbai Mixed Grille which came with Chicken, Shrimp, Seekh Kabob on a sizzling skillet with peppers, Tikka Masala and Rice. We also added an order of garlic naan. The flavors were very delicious and our meat was cooked just like we like it. The portion size was generous as well. Our server checked on us frequently and the ambiance was welcoming and inviting. Overall it was a very lovely meal and I would come back and order the same thing again! read more

I would not recommend. The food was definitely not what I expected. The naan was burnt when I got it the first time and when I asked them to remake. Portion size didn't match the amount they wanted for it. It was very cold inside. The service was okay. I would not go back. read more

Staying at hospital drove to get food I'm from out of town Picked up food so excited My papadum was crumbs in a bag! My Chan a masala had NO RICE I called back could they please bro g me the rice or door dash it to me as my mom is ill and I can't leave ( I'm less than 6 min away) they said no So I asked if they could remove my bill and credit me for my inconvenience and they said No I will never be back and how shameful that they could not extend a courtsey to a new customer who is is a not in a good place with her mom in hospital They could have even drove it to me at the close of their day which was soon. Didn't even offer a solution for their Mess up I won't be back and I do t recommend this restaurant Sad that businesses don't care about their customers or services read more

I was in town and went to the Saffron Patch for the second time. It had been a couple of years since my last visit. However, I knew that, like last time, I would be getting the chicken saag because I'd really enjoyed it previously. This restaurant is quaint, and there is parking behind the shopping center it's in. We went about an hour before closing. We knew what we wanted so we were able to order quickly. We split the masala potatoes which were like flat french fries that had a tasty dipping sauce. I was happy to note the chicken saag, once again, didn't disappoint. I would give them four stars except that we felt very rushed starting about 30 minutes out from closing. I get starting to prepare to shut things down in the background, but chairs going up on tables on either side of you while you're eating is a bit much. Hopefully it was just a one off experience. The food, however, was good! If I lived in Cleveland, I could definitely see it being a frequent to go order location. I would still go back again on a visit. read more

We went here last night with some friends and it definitely satisfied my Indian food craving! My favorite dish is typically saag paneer, but because it wasn't on the menu, I ended up ordering the Palak paneer, which was really good! I ordered medium spice and honestly could have used a little more spice. Good to know for next time! My partner got the chicken tikka masala and we shared the vegetable pakodas. Both were super delicious!!! I also got to try some of the biryani my friend ordered and it was so good with quite a kick to it! The service was quick and the place was very clean and had chill/casual vibes. Most importantly, there was a TON of parking in the back. Overall would recommend and come back! read more

Very disappointing. Spent $16 each for three different curries(Kashmiri potatoes, malai kofta, shahi paneer) and you guys used the exact same sauce for all three and the sauce was some bland green mush that was completely inedible. Most Indian restaurants that tend to use the same sauce for all their gravies at least use a more palatable orange tikka masala. I have no clue what this bland green mush was. This was the worst Indian food experience in Cleveland by a long shot, made worse by the non trivial prices. read more

This place was a recommendation of my coworker, who married into an Indian family. And let me tell you, it did NOT disappoint! The food was fresh and flavorful and came over in a timely manner. The two people working (they're still short staffed from COVID) we're friendly and attentive. We tried the vegetable samosas which were crispy on the outside and stuffed on the inside. For an entree we did chicken makhani which is creamy and my new go to, then lamb vindaloo. We also got a few naans and you can't go wrong. Will come back anytime I am in town! read more

Employees were so kind and professional! Food was absolutely amazing! The best casual Indian food I've had in Cleveland :)

Solid Indian food nestled in Northern Ohio! I can definitely see myself stopping by or ordering from here in the future when I'm craving Indian cuisine. I had been hearing many great things about Saffron Patch for quite a while, so I had relatively lofty expectations coming into the restaurant. As a result, I was pleasantly surprised when these expectations were more or less met (at least with regards to what I ordered!). In terms of the food itself: I highly recommend the Maharaja Mix Grill. Both the seafood and the meat were cooked extremely well, and the flavors worked well together. I asked for the second highest level of spice, and it turned out to be strong but not overpowering. The portion size was more than adequate (seafood included), and with rice and naan on the side I was able to take some home as well. One of my friends ordered the Palak Paneer, and unfortunately he wasn't as complimentary. He mentioned that the portion size was small, only having a few cubes of paneer with the rest composed of sauce. I was able to try a small bite and the taste was definitely there, but I can't speak to his experiences otherwise. With regards to the service: My interactions with the staff were very positive - our waiter was knowledgeable about the menu and was more than willing to give recommendations on specific dishes. He was attentive to our water refills but didn't hover. No complaints here. Overall, I had a positive experience with Saffron Patch. I can't feel justified giving this place five stars just yet because my friend didn't have the greatest experience with his dish, but I would definitely consider coming back. read more

Quick Review: The service was really nice and the environment was comfortable and homey. The food quantity was small and the taste was nothing unique. However, it did taste and feel very authentic. Long Review: I came into Saffron Patch with extremely high expectations as I heard it was one of the best Indian restaurants in the area. Multiple people had recommended it to me and I love Indian food. During the first interaction with the staff, everyone seemed very nice and they were very accommodating to our party of 5. We went at 7:20 which was not too crowded and they seated us immediately as we arrived. The manager brought our waters and was the one that led us to our table and he was very friendly and made sure that everyone was comfortable. The waiter was also very kind giving us recommendations on the menu and making sure to check in for water or extra rice. Now in terms of the food, I was underwhelmed. We each ordered individual dishes. I had the Palak Paneer and my friends ordered dishes such as Chicken Makhani and Chicken Tikka Masala. The dish was small which I was accustomed to but there were only 6 cubes of paneer (yes, I counted). The rest was just sauce! I was very disappointed. The taste was nothing exceptional for my specific dish. However, the other dishes that I tried tasted very authentic but still had small quantities. I think the rice may have been my favorite. And it is unlimited!!!! The best dish that I tried was the Maharaja Mix Grill (picture included). That had excellent taste and the quantity was worth the price. I would highly recommend this dish if you like assorted meats and seafood prepared in an Indian style. To finish this review, I only wish the taste and quantity of my specific dish was better. One thing I was really happy with was that the manager came and brought on the house rice pudding! Tasted amazing. Thank you for taking the time to read this. read more

Since we moved in last August we have ordered from this restaurant countless times. We then started to have issues with the staff, no sauce was with our order of papadum and the list goes on. The last straw was disappointing, they forgot to pack our chair tea we paid $9 for. The fact that not even Starbucks charges this much for tea is insane to me.

I ordered the Chicken Vindaloo very hot which arrived steamy with a bowl of rice to dole out along with some garlicly parsley covered Naan bread. Could not recommend it enough.

Located on chagrin hidden amongst An urgent care and various businesses is this gem. Honestly some of the best Indian food I've had in Cleveland still to date. I always order to go food or Ubereats. They appear to have a nice dining room to eat in though Ive never seen anyone occupying the seats . I will say since 2020 both quality and quantity have went down. I always order my favorites. Baigan bharta, allo gobi, kachumber salad and roti. The Baigan bharta constantly has inedible cardamom pods inside still, not a pleasure to bite into at all. Kachumber salad is always refreshing in between bites of spice. Allo gobi is super delish along with a roti to scoop up the yumminess. The level of spice here always varies I like super spicy I could say make it bland then it comes out spicy vice versa. Not consistent at all. I hope to see this restaurant improve after the downfall of 2020 as I'm sure staffing causes some issues. read more

The Saffron Patch was located downstairs in a business building. It's very unassuming. We went for lunch and were quickly seated and offered the $10 buffet. That's what we all got so I can't speak for anything else on the menu. It was causal and quick food. Some of the dishes were spicy and had good flavor and reasonable quality for Indian food. read more

There carry out is excellent, good size portions. You never have to wait for your order it's ready when I arrive no matter how large the order. Not like so many places after covet. The food is still good, tastes like the old location. It's a bit dark, I miss the light that the former location carried. I also miss the buffet. And the spoon of fennel as I exit. The service is dry not very friendly. Would get better tips if they visited your table more often. The powder room limits one of your best customers that I know of for sure from dining in. Despite all of this. I still give 4s. Good Indian food reasonable prices. read more

When your in any restaurant and the percentage of people who come from that food's native land - it's a great testament to the authenticity. Saffron Patch clients when I was there last night were mostly from India - young families, groups of friends, etc. The food? Delicious, hot, fresh. We had the appetizer platter- which would make a great meal option. Then we shared a tandoori chicken and a lamb dish (mokta?). Both excellent. The service was friendly and efficient. Over all a great experience. read more

I have been a Saffron Patch patron for nearly 15 years, going back to their old location. But recently the quality has declined. With my latest takeout order, the chicken in my chicken tikka masala was dry and tough, not tender. Worse, the green chutney looked like it was days old. Rather than bright green, it was a brownish green. And strangely, my rice came in a Chapati Indian Grill container. I didn't order from Chapati, a fast food Indian restaurant down by CSU. I ordered from Saffron Patch. On the flip side, my wife's vegetable dishes were quite tasty and the pakoras were very good. read more

I got assorted platter, chicken tikka and lamb korma. It was okay.

I order from here A LOT. They definitely have the best vegetarian options of all the Indian restaurants in Cuyahoga/Summit County area. I usually get the vegetable korma, onion kulcha, and samosas. It's all delicious. One note- there are too many lima beans in the vegetable korma. If I could change one thing, it would be the overwhelming number of lima beans. My suggest is to add more cauliflower maybe? I also love dining in at this restaurant. The staff is super friendly. I love the sauces that are served with the complimentary papadam at the beginning of the meal. Anyway, keep up the good work and think about what I said about the lima beans! read more

This has been my favorite local Indian restaurant for a decade or longer. My husband made a reservation for our 10 year anniversary last night, and I was so excited to get my all-time favorite- Lamb chops. I've tried them elsewhere, but no one has the right flavors. They are always seared perfectly and served on a bed of grilled peppers and onion, steaming. I always ask for them to be made "Indian spicy" because I know there is a different spice scale for those unfamiliar with the level of heat of some Indian dishes. What I was served was unseared, barely cooked lamb with little to no seasoning AT ALL, and raw vegetables. Completely raw vegetables. My husband commented that the vegetables were uncooked and there wasn't the typical sizzle and "hot plate" warning. He put a lot of effort into making our evening special, so I didn't say anything to the server, but this as bordering on gross. I politely ate two chops and asked for the rest to go. The servers typically would package food up, but he just tossed a box on the table. I know that is an extra that we enjoyed there, but there was a very noticeable change in the atmosphere. It kinda felt like a fast food restaurant. I just now grilled the vegetables, seasoned the lamb (I unfortunately don't know what combination the USED to use), and seared them for a much better lunch than my anniversary dinner. This is so sad! What happened since the move? Why has quality plummeted? Why didn't the server say anything when he saw raw food come from the kitchen? I'll note also, as a finally snub, we weren't asked if we would like another drink or dessert. They just wanted us out, I guess. read more

Another first for me, though I've known about them forever. They had me at "tandoori oven". It was good and I noticed the freshness. (A place in Buffalo, NY still comes to my memory as "wow" but because that was when I visited India. Can't wait to come back and try the masala tea. Hope it is authentic. I have not had it since India. Nice space. Oh, the chai tini was nice (glad I walked) and the complimentary rice pudding had a nice texture and just enough sweetness read more

Wow! I could not understand when I saw such a low rating for this place! I bought a Groupon for this place back in early 2020 and they extended its use through to the end of the year! We had the naan, vegetable samosas, baby eggplant dish and mixed vegetable dish between my wife and I! It was so delicious! Vegetables and sauces were fresh and definitely homemade! The flavors were out of this world! The seasonings were point on! I've only had authentic Indian cuisine this good only once before and we've probably been to a dozen Indian restaurants over the years! Definitely will return! Prices were great and we had a wonderful table up by the front large windows with the Christmas lights in view! Great date night! Beautiful music and quiet and soft ambience! Our waiter was very kind, soft spoken and very attentive, too! read more

An absolute gem. There's a wide range of Indian restaurants in Cleveland. Many are good, but Saffron Patch is likely the best. They offer tons of clearly-marked options to satisfy both meat eaters and vegans. And the food is actually spicy (I usually stick with a 3/5 spice level)--they're not pulling any punches just because they're in Ohio. I've always had fantastic service here, both when dining in and carrying out. I haven't taken advantage of their full bar yet, but it's great to know that it's available. The only issues I've ever encountered involve ordering. You can't choose a spice level or add a note through the usual delivery apps, so I've had to call after placing an order through the app to make sure they get my preference. Also, their chicken korma is my go to, but it's not on the menu or in the apps. Still, it's always been a pleasant and easy experience ordering via phone. read more

The service here is impeccable and their facility is so clean. They have such a modern take on age old Indian classics and everything I have ever eaten here has been prepared so well it rivals any great Indian restaurant I've ever been blessed to dine at around ohio and even different parts of the country. Get their salmon Tikka or chili chicken or butter chicken. All absolutely fantastic! I love this place and even when I cannot make it in, I door dash their food and its just as good delivered! read more
