| - As an individual of south Indian heritage, I grew up with my grandmother and mother making food that very closely resembled the dishes that this establishment makes. The key difference between my experiences at saffron and those of my own family, are merely the hands which prepared it.
I can confidently say, after trying nearly every dish on their continuously rotating menu, that I have yet to have a single dish that was mediocre. They make a selection of their menu daily so as not to compromise their food quality by having several dishes sit.
If authenticity and uncompromising food quality is important to you, you should try out saffron.
Their aloo ghobi isn't just mashed potato and minced cauliflower like so many places seem to do. It has huge chunks of well cooked potato and cauliflower, which still has some consistency. Their Korma is actually not overbearing with the cashew paste, you can differentiate the constituent spices. Their veggie samosa is right on with seasoning and actually crisp.
My personal favorite has to be their Lamb vindaloo.
To which, you may ask them to make your order to your chosen spiciness level.
Their regular spice level would be mild-medium for the more adventurous.
Give this family run establishment a try. I promise you that my tastes are very decerning. This establishment has more than exceeded my expectation everytime I have been.
Even with all the good things going for them, their prices are the lowest average cost of any Indian takeout anywhere in the nw. There are a couple other places close(ish) by; however, saffron is superior and more economical.
Everytime I go, there are always a couple people getting their orders filled.
Happy eating!!
