| - Second time trying Saffron Spice in a long long time. My friends and I were debating on where to go with a plethora of foodie spots in the area we choose Saffron.
Open-ish kitchen environment. Small blueprint but seating is available for around 6 max. Menu was straight forward classic kothu roti with various proteins, wraps, curry options, and some small appetizers.
I ordered the seafood kothu roti, something new for me, and as usual got the spice level at hot. Overall I was pleased with the presentation. A variety of different veggies were included such as cauliflower. The roti was moist, definitely was not old. And the overall curry went well. Despite getting hot the spice wasn't enough ( well for me .... ), the staff provided a generous amount of in house hot sauce which really kicked things up. If you like spice would recommend asking for it.
My only problem was that there wasn't enough seafood. In this case salmon. I was literally searching through the box, the salmon to roti ratio wasn't sufficient. Whatever salmon I did get, tasted good. Well seasoned and flaked apart with the fork. Surprisingly salmon tastes good with curry and roti. For what you pay wasn't enough, better getting the other options.
My friends were satisfied with their butter chicken kothu, chicken kothu, and curry chicken wrap. We went home stuffed with some leftovers. Overall we were happy with the ingredients, concept, and just the freshness of the food.
If your accustomed to the typical circular aluminum tray kothu rotis of the GTA you may not be estatic with Saffron, but would still recommend a try for the variety. For the general public its a great option especially for the area, foods fresh, and the flavors are there.
3.5 out of 5 for me.
