    Manchow Vegetable Soup
    Keti L.

    SERVICE: 3.5/5 We visited on a quiet weekday with hardly any crowd, but the service was slower than expected. That said, the staff were friendly, though nothing about the experience stood out as exceptional. FOOD: 4/5 We tried the Manchow soup and Chicken Hakka noodles. The soup had good flavor but could have been thicker to match what I'm used to. The Hakka noodles, however, were delicious--well-cooked and flavorful. If you prefer more spice, you might need to ask for it. Overall, it was a satisfying meal. ATMOSPHERE: 4/5 The location near the lake is lovely, and the option of indoor or outdoor seating adds flexibility. The space is bright with plenty of windows, but there are curtains for those who prefer a softer ambiance. A nice setting to complement the meal.

    Pashwarmi chole

    Saffron is a place I frequent because of how great it is. It always smells excellent inside, great service, and a cute patio that overlooks the pond outside. I highly recommend Saffron, whether you're trying Indian food for the first time or a long time fan, this place is is sure to exceed expectations. Pictured in my post is the pashwarmi chole with white jasmine rice and a mix of onion and pepper. The onions and pepper is not something people typically order, but I find that it brings out the flavors of any Indian dish. Not pictured is the lentil soup which is also excellent. Give this place a shot if you haven't already! I promise you won't regret it!

    Chicken Vindaloo

    The food was excellent! We had the Butter Chicken and Chicken Vindaloo which had great flavor and wasn't overly spicy. The Garlic Naan was to die for. It was within walking distance from our hotel which was convenient and the pricing here was good. Servers were friendly and the food came out quickly. The reason for the mediocre review is as follows: I think they mostly do takeaway food because seating looked limited and although we were seated right away they could invest in some decent tables as they are using glass topped round patio tables. My biggest issue was that their bathroom was super nasty with a toilette seat that was busted and looked to have been so for a long time. It wasn't attached to the toilette at all. Common, go to the Home Depot and invest twelve bucks in a new toilette seat. All I'm saying is if your bathroom looks like this I have to wonder what the kitchen looks like. It was the fly in the ointment and a pretty big one at that.

    Chicken Vindaloo

    The wife and I tried this place for a late lunch around 2pm. We were the only ones there at first, and we were seated quickly. It was surprisingly small inside, so I could see where it would fill up fast in peak hours. We ordered butter chicken and chicken vindaloo with garlic naan and cheese chili naan. About 30mins later, our food finally came out. It was worth the wait! This was some of the best Indian food I have had. I couldn't get enough of my chicken vindaloo. The spice was great heat and the naan accented it well. The wife loved her butter chicken and I even found myself dipping my naan in her butter chicken sauce after I finished off my vindaloo. I wish we didn't live 4hrs away so I could go more often. At $48 with tip, it was on par price wise with the other Indian places we have been.

    Chinese Hakka noodles, onion fritters, garlic naan, butter chicken
    JoAnna D.

    Went to Saffron while traveling to Bentonville for my wife's birthday. We were there on a Thursday and one of only 3 tables of customers but they had a pretty constant stream of take out orders. At first we were sat and left for a while but they came and got our order, which came out pretty quickly but our water was only filled once after the initial fill so that was disappointing. The food was hot and fresh though and delicious. The naan was so garlicky and soft. It was perfect for the butter chicken. The chicken in the noodles was a little dry and under seasoned but the noodles themselves were delicious.

    The food was excellent. First I got the Sichuan Lotus Root. Lotus Root is similar a potato but shaped like a pinwheel. They put Sichuan sauce on it and it's a bit spicy but so yummy. We also got the Baigan Saraf, which is Chinese eggplant along with pants and a lovely sauce that is yummy in rice or with naan. The eggplants was soft abs yummy and the sauce was nicely spiced without heat. My daughter also loved it. Then we had Bhindi Masala, this is an okra dish in a red sauce that I could eat all day. It's a vegan masala which I really liked also. And of course I got Naan. The naan was good. I couldn't eat all the food I got but I took it back to the hospice and we ate it all up.

    Chola Cafe is one of my favorite restaurants in Bentonville so far. I live near downtown and, IMO,…read morethere are too many restaurants in the area that are overpriced and prioritize aesthetic over food. After hearing good things about Chola Cafe, I came with two coworkers shortly after they reopened for dinner on a Saturday, and we ordered quite a spread: masala and mysore dosas, gobi manchurian, chettinad eggplant masala, and dal tadka. I was surprised that the restaurant was not very crowded, even though we arrived during peak dinner hours--which is not usually a good sign. False alarm: every dish was delicious, served piping hot, and all reasonably portioned and priced. My personal favorites were the eggplant, gobi manchurian, and the dosas--we definitely over-ordered, as we came to find out that the dosas are immense and probably the length of my arm. We were so engrossed in eating that it was only after we paid the bill and put our food into doggie bags that we realized all of the restaurant tables and booths were filled, and parties were lining up to be seated. Clearly, we were not the only ones enjoying our meals! I'm looking forward to coming back. Also, shoutout to the very sweet waiter who ran out after me when I left my phone in the booth.

    This place is DELICIOUS!! I've been here twice now and had the butter chicken, tikka masala, and…read moregarlic naan and it's SO yummy!!

    We went on a Sunday during the lunch buffet. A lot of the items were empty or had been sitting…read morethere a while. Staff was nice enough. Food was flavorful. Ambiance nice and quiet. Clean and love the water pitchers on the table. If you get the buffet, no one bothers you. Everything you need is at the buffet or on the table. Comfortable booths and table seating is also available. A nice variety although some of the more popular dishes were not on the buffet, such as butter chicken. Prices for the amount of food we got/ate was quite high. Still a nice experience overall.

    Would give 0 rating if possible…read more We recently visited Bawarchi Biryani and while the food itself was decent, the overall experience was extremely disappointing. After the dishes were served, no one came back to check on us even once. Our rice was cold, and we tried calling the staff multiple times but were completely ignored. At the end, we shared our experience with the person managing the counter and asked if they could offer a small discount considering the poor service. He said he would call the manager, and we waited for 10-15 minutes while he was on the phone. Eventually, he told us the manager said the biryani was "served fresh" and that nothing could be done. We told him it wasn't even biryani -- it was basically pulao -- and reminded him how unhappy we were with the service. Instead of acknowledging the issue or apologizing, he responded arrogantly and said it didn't matter if we left a bad review. His exact attitude was that even if they gave a discount, we would still leave a bad rating -- which wasn't true. It wasn't about the discount at all; we just wanted them to care about the customer experience. The complete lack of accountability and the arrogance of the staff made this one of the worst dining experiences I've had. If it were up to me, I wouldn't even give them one star. Terrible customer service, zero professionalism, and absolutely no regard for guests. Would not recommend.
