The chicken Tikka masala was silky, and again, perfectly spiced. Opening the containers of basmati rice was almost spiritual in the fragrant aroma, and again, perfectly prepared. The naan were delicious, and even though I had over an hour to drive home, were still crisp and slightly buttery. I wish I could experience their lunch buffet someday, but we live too far outside town.

If you are reading reviews, ignore older ones as they may apply to an earlier restaurant. I ordered take-out using an online app. Ordering was easy and the food was ready when I arrived. We started with the appetizer platter. Some were better than others, but the point of getting the platter was to see what we liked best. We shared a lamb with chickpea dinner and liked it very much. It came with rice and bread and 3 small portions of toppings. I also ordered the raita and a second kind of bread. One bread would have sufficed. We had a little of everything left over for lunch another day. We'll order from here again.

Great Service, but Extremely Disappointing Food…read more I decided to give Saffron a try today after seeing so many positive reviews, but unfortunately, my experience fell well short of expectations. We ordered several dishes, starting with the Chicken Tikka Masala, which was incredibly underwhelming. It lacked spice and flavor, which was disappointing considering how rich and flavorful this dish typically is. We also ordered the Chicken 65, and unfortunately, that was another miss. The taste was unpleasant, and neither dish left us wanting another bite. To make matters worse, we discovered a long strand of hair in our garlic naan, which was honestly pretty off-putting. We also ordered papadum that never made it to our table. Thankfully, we weren't charged for it, but it was still another oversight during an already disappointing dining experience. I do want to give credit where it's due: the customer service was good, and I appreciated that. However, good service can only go so far when the quality of the food doesn't match. I really wanted to enjoy this restaurant, especially given its glowing reviews, but between the lackluster flavors, missing appetizer, and hair in our naan, I can't say I'll be returning. Unfortunately, this one was a miss for me.

My wife and I went to Hyderabad House for dinner. It was a rainy and windy evening, which made the…read morespicy Veg 65 appetizer all the more delightful. Hyderabad House is off Michigan Road, near Costco. It offers dine-in and carry-out options. We chose to dine in, and I was excited to try the biryani. There are tons of options to customize your biryani or even dosa. There are North Indian options as well. My wife had the uthapam, which she found to be tasty. The ambiance is simple, with each table having water bottles ready. There is the quintessential tv that seems to be playing Bollywood music videos and film dance scenes on repeat. All in all, 9.5/10. Tasty and nicely spiced food. South Indian food made by South Indians.

We stopped by Punjabi Tadka around 8 pm during the weekdays after traveling from Kansas City…read morebecause we were craving for some Chai and Pakodas. The restaurant was empty because it was past dinner time and pretty close to closing. We ordered Adrak Chai and Onion Pakodas. The ginger chai hit the spot and was the highlight of the evening - warm, nicely spiced along with comforting ginger flavor. The pakoras unfortunately were horrible. The batter was quite thick and they didn't seemed to be cooked right- texture and taste were disappointing. Pricing seemed reasonable for a quick chai ($5 approx) and snack stop but their menu was extensive with many more dishes to offer. We came in fairly late and mainly looking for chai that's why our experience was decent. The restaurant otherwise was very clean and maintained well with Punjabi songs playing in the background - total Punjabi dhaba style. I am giving it four stars only because of the Chai and how their restaurant atmosphere felt, but I definitely think they should work on improving their Pakodas.

Food: I could've gone spicier but the mild dishes still packed the flavor you'd expect of Indian cuisine. The Gohbi Manchurian was a great appetizer that you couldn't stop eating even when it started to fill you up. The non-vegetarian Thali was also a great way to taste a variety of dishes. My only wish would be to have different curry bases for the lamb, chicken and daal. Service: The waiter gave great recommendations and helped us have a pleasure meal with attentive but non-disruptive check ins. Atmosphere: The decor and lighting makes things cozy, but it was pretty standard for an Indian restaurant.

We were quickly greeted and the waitress answered any questions we had. I did feel that she was trying to hurry us to order though.

The only thing I would say is not a positive, the waitress asked us to tip in cash. I understand the reason, but its odd to be requested that. We will definietly be back soon despite that.

I honestly didn't know what to expect other than I knew it was healthy food options. Parking is tough. I had to park a bit away during lunch time because their little section is pretty small and it was packed, so I parked over by Whole Foods and walked over. Not a big deal just something to be aware of, and if you are lucky enough to find a spot near them, it's tight getting in and out so just a side note. Upon walking in it was a pretty long line but again it was lunch time (around noon), so no issues. You order at and then get a number and find a place to sit. They have options to sit inside and out. We decided to sit outside since it was a nice day. The food came pretty quickly which was nice since it was lunch time. I ordered a kale salad which was amazing. My lunch partner had a wrap and she said it was really good. You can tell they are using really top notch ingredients which is good. Pricing is pretty typical for these type of places.
