Saffron Fine Indian Cuisine

I’ve heard a lot of good things about this place so I finally came. Yes there’s a lot of parking and the inside is big but the customer service is terrible.. I went on a Saturday around 1pm not many people in the restaurant so I thought it would be a great opportunity. They still had dishes on the table from the last party.. I order 2 Captain Morgan and Coke‘s and exactly how you see it in the photo is how they serviced it to me. It’s definitely missing 2 sips ($10 each) but okay let’s carry on. The fried fish nuggets were definitely delicious and the green sauce was amazing.. The lamb and rice was good and tender the extra sauce on the side is great. The mango shrimp and rice was not a good move. I had a whole bowl of sauce and 4 shrimps.. yes it taste like mango but not much flavor. The rice taste like it was uncle bens. I did enjoy the garlic naan bread. I wouldn’t come back due to the poor customer service. Also at the end of my bill they charged me $12 for each drink the lady said it was whisky in which it wasn’t. They did change it but how dare they over charge and not even fill my highball glass up. They probably do better with party’s, with the amount I spent at this restaurant I’m disappointed and wouldn’t recommend it.

We live near by and moved from the city a while ago and happy to see a good Indian restaurant. Atmosphere:⭐⭐⭐ It's pretty desolate around 7pm on a weekday, however I see they have a banquet hall so I assume it fills up over the weekend pretty well. Looked pretty much north Indian and had a mild dhaba vibe to it. They played good Punjabi raps of sidhu moose wala and it was hip! Service:⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The service is pretty good. The waitress greeted us, took our order promptly, and brought us our order in accordance to our request. The waiter and waitress came and checked in on us regularly to ask if everything is satisfactory, however I would love to see the same service on the rush hour. Presentation:⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The presentation of the tea was well done ✅. I appreciate the effort to serve tea authentically. Chicken 65 was served with no ketchup (I wish it was given on the side without asking for it as it is done in South India). Biryani was served with Rita, however I missed the onion & carrot salad with some lime on the side as it is supposed to be served. Taste: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Tea was outstanding 🤌, could taste the cinnamon and was robust. Chicken 65 lacked some spice. Biryani was alright, I guess I'll never get hyderabadi Kachi dum biryani, but I liked what they served. Overall:⭐⭐⭐⭐⅐ I would certainly comeback to taste the rest of the menu. Thank you for serving us last night.

Saffron is low key a local Indian gem in Middletown, NY. I love that when I come in sometimes it’s empty bc that lets me know I got there before the rush!! This place can fill up quickly! I’m here to talk about the most delicious way I’ve had cauliflower by far with the Gobi Manchurian. It reminds me of General Tsos Chicken from any Chinese Food spot and it’s drool worthy. Any of the naan breads on the menu slap and the mulligatawny soup is sooooo good. Tadka Dal is the yellow dish & I like mine spicy, they accommodate spice tolerance. I tried the Roti for the first time and it’s not better than a flaky roti from a Caribbean spot but it dipped in my dal well.

On our trip from Landers Narrow burg we were craving Indian food and was recommended this restaurant an extra 9 minutes of our route in middletown. We live in Long Island and definitely match the experience. The food was awesome. We order five plates for three people. Chicken Tikka, Paneer Tikka, Paneer Masala, White Rice and Butter Naan. The food was great. Our waiter Cyril was awesome and on top of the service. We ended up ordering more to go to share the experience we enjoyed.

Honestly, food was good even though we weren't expecting much. The service wasn't good, though. They need to train their staff on how to communicate with the customers. The atmosphere was okay. We ordered some North indian food such as chhole bhatura, paneer paratha, and paneer Tikka. Everything was delicious and fresh.
