Chana Masala is my favorite Indian dish , and Saffron 's is my favorite Chana Masala . Don't bother with the fried whatever they bring to the table free; save the room for more Chana Masala .

Great butter chicken . Very good vegetable dishes , especially the cauliflower . Really good service . Only place that provided drinking water for my toddler in a covered disposable cup with straw.

First time here and the food was delicious! Not too spicy and very flavorful! Definitely coming back here!

We get catering from here often. I like their aloo gobi a lot. Butter chicken is good too but very heavy.

Peter Bachmann

If you like spice food, choose the "Indian Spicy " Lamb Madras. It is amazing.

Buffet lunch , go big! Very big. Don't eat breakfast big. Order a mango lassi . Yum homemade nan . Make sure to save room for rice pudding . Say hi on Facebook.

Pricy and not particularly tasty or good service for this price

Paul Dhanoa

Front desk is unprofessional, gives out lower waiting time & doesn't even bother keeping the list in order. Just stand up front & you will get seated first. Food is delicious but service is poor.

Dave

Love smokey taste of butter chicken - great buffet ( yeah my weekly routine) - minus staff attitude

Prachi Agrawal

Very rude service. When asked to pack the remaining food on the table (as we ordered more than we could eat for 2 people), they brought empty containers and foil and told us to pack it ourselves.

Naan is super fresh.

I asked for a 'Chicken Dum Biryani ' but I got 'Tomato rice with chicken ' ????

My weekly (weekend) Buffet was great as usual - only if staff can season some attitude!
