| - I should preface this review by stating that I am not, generally speaking, a lover of buffets. I usually find the food to be lukewarm and rubbery: that is, when I am not too disgusted by my fellow patrons' self-service habits to eat it.
Nevertheless, I thoroughly enjoy Saffron. The food is hot and frequently refreshed, the service is attentive and polite. Best of all, at least in my opinion, is that the diners at Saffron are usually calm and restrained enough not to be thrusting their hands into trays or re-using plates in their frenetic efforts to feed themselves. Lunchtime is just busy enough that you know the place is good, but slow enough that it's pleasant and quiet.
I wholeheartedly recommend the chicken tikka masala and the tomato soup, both of which are delicious. Honestly though, everything at the small-but-thoughtful buffet is good. If you are having one of those days that require a dessert, the rice pudding is tasty as well.
So let it be known that this buffet-hater has found a buffet he can enthusiastically endorse, even to his fellow buffet-haters.
