I generally think most Indian food is delicious, so how this place has been…read moreable to top them all and be my #1 best Indian restaurant--in a heavily South Asian location at that--continues to blow my mind. First of all, the service is impeccable; from the moment, I walked in, the host and manager were both so kind and hospitable in a way that felt natural, while also going above and beyond. And the decor: easily the most beautiful restaurant I have ever been in. Full stop. Just a fun experience, without even getting into food and drink. There isn't a bad seat in the restaurant, and I would even want to come sit at the fun bar. Ok, food and drink. I got a sangria, which was easily as good as any you would find in a Spanish restaurant--not too sweet. They have a fun "street food" appetizers section that isn't on most Indian menus--we got the dilli ki shaan, which were kind of like potato salad in a crispy shell? And for my main, I had the coconut machi curry with fish--omigod, it was so flavorful!! My mouth is watering just thinking about it. My friend got the mewa murg tikka, and I think that delicious, flavorful, savory, smokey chicken may have even been better than my dish. The habanero and cheese naans were also pretty good. I can't wait to go back, though my biggest challenge will be whether to order the same dish or try something new!

Great service and experience! We did a walk in for an early dinner right when they opened back up…read more We were immediately seated and given a crunchy tortilla like appetizer complimentary. It's like being given naan, but seemed like a hard shell tortilla. The ambiance is absolutely beautiful and breathtaking!!! The staff were super kind and provided tons of complimentary treats included such as chai, champagne, rice pudding. Although not the best quality tasting Indian food in the area and a bit pricey we got more than our money worth with all the complimentary treats. The cheese naan wasn't fluffy and cheesy. The tikka masala was a bit too sweet and flavor wasn't quite there. I asked for some spice and they provided green Thai chili and a red paste which helped! We ordered: Mango Lasi 7/10 Mint mojito 8/10 Tikka Masala 7/10 Lamb Josh Rogan 8.5/10 Cheese naan 7/10 Provided complimentary: Two cups of champagne Chai Rice pudding I'll come back and try more items, it could've been an off day for the kitchen.

The truck grille, the walls and punjabi songs on tv completed the picture. The menu is large and had a lot of choices. We ordered the appetizer platter. Was good enough for three adults. Ordered Shahi Paneer no spice, but Sarason ka saag medium spice. Ordered chole bhature. Everything was heavenly. The bhature had no oil, very soft and tasty!! The spicier stuff also has subtle tastes to them. Not to be missed if you are passing on 81 or live nearby. We drove an hour to get there. Worth making the trip. Great food and awesome service. Will definitely be back. Best of all it is in a truck stop!!

A Hidden Gem for Indian Cuisine in Ashburn, VA. I travel for food …read more.. Saffron India in Ashburn, VA, truly delivered a chef's kiss experience. From the moment we arrived, the service was friendly and attentive, the ambiance was relaxing, and the food--absolutely outstanding. I drove 1.5 hours for my birthday lunch after a day at the spa, and it was well worth the trip. The standout dishes were the lamb chops, garlic naan, and the crispy spinach and spicy shrimp--all 10/10. I also took home the Chicken 65 and Tiger Prawn Shrimp ( a must have ) both of which were just as delicious. Be mindful that they close at 2:30 pm for preparation before dinner service, so plan accordingly. I left with enough food to last two days, and with plenty of parking in the shopping plaza, this spot is a must-try for any food lover in the area or just wanting to venture out . Highly recommend!

If this is true, it's very disappointing because the staff work hard every day and deserve to be paid promptly for their efforts. I hope the management takes this issue seriously and treats its employees fairly. I'm sharing this review in the hope that it encourages positive changes, because a restaurant's success depends not only on good food but also on how it values and supports its employees.

The menu was comprehensive and had something for everyone, making it a great choice for families and groups of all ages. We ordered the Chicken Dhido Thali, Goat Thali, Combo Platter, Jhol Momo, Sukuti Sadheko, Aloo Paratha, and Mango Lassis. Every single dish was authentic, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. You can truly taste the quality and care that goes into the food. What made the experience even better was the gentleman who served us. He was incredibly kind, welcoming, and attentive, which made our dining experience even more enjoyable. If you're looking for authentic Nepali food, I highly recommend this place. 10/10 for both the food and the hospitality. We'll definitely be back!

The cashier was friendly and offered to help even though we chose to order at the kiosk. He even grabbed our drinks right away and gave me a sample of the ginger lemonade (which didn't have much ginger), so I ended up going with the mango lemonade instead. I ordered the paneer and samosa chaat, and the flavors were spot on. I dipped my paneer wrap in the mango sauce, and it was the perfect touch. I would definitely come back--the food tasted so fresh and flavorful that it never once felt like I was eating at a chain restaurant. The space itself is cute, with plenty of seating and easy access to sauces, utensils, and napkins. My only critique is that the restaurant was cold inside. It was already a chilly day, and it didn't feel much warmer than eating outdoors. Overall, great food and great service--just wish the heat was turned up on that cold day!

It was busy even in the middle of the afternoon. While, I would've been happy to see their rendition of one of the classics, I wanted to try something new and I cannot remember ever having had a misal pav, which is a sprouted, mung bean curry served with bread. They warned me that it would be spicy and it did have a decent kick. The bread was just enough to make the whole thing a finger food without needing any utensils. I also got a robustly spiced Samosa and some unsweetened chai. Come here, turned out to be a good decision for me because there are certainly times when I want and eat food, but do not want a giant meal. That being said ordering a couple of dishes here could get indulgent very quickly.
