I was craving something spicy and gave this restaurant a try. They personalize spice level by…read moreselecting 1-5. I got the chicken tikka masala under the chicken specialty section and asked if the 5 level would make me cry. The waiter laughed and said absolutely, so I went with the 4. He was NOT wrong. I didn't cry, but I definitely started sniffling and my mouth was on fire when I bit into a pepper. The delicious mango lassi saved me. It had tiny bits of pistachio which was a revelation to me. I loved it and it tasted so fresh, not overly sweet. The chicken tikka masala was less saucy and creamy than I'm used to, instead it had a thick gravy consistency, but it was still very flavorful. I think the chicken tikka under their tandoori grill section might be more like I'm used to, where you can dip the naan in the sauce. The pieces of chicken were pretty big too. The garlic naan was generous and the mushroom pulao rice was delicious. Some reviews say this place is casual but I felt a bit underdressed since they do have white tablecloths/napkins. Service was very attentive and friendly. It was very warm inside so it was a nice break from the cold.

Both of us…read moreenjoyed our shared meal choices (and selected heat level was perfect for us) & naan very tasty. However, we didn't clue in right away that we happened to be there on Diwali. So sadly we got there too late to order any dessert when we finished our meal. I do appreciate that neither of us felt rushed to order our meal or enjoy what we had for supper. That was really kind considering the holiday just started. Atmosphere was decent but next time, I would ask to sit away from the window & further into the restaurant (open sign flashing right at head level can trigger migraine issues for me on the wrong day). As I usually comment about accessibility, I should note that my knees surprisingly allowed me to do more stairs than I would normally consider to contend with for any enjoyment of food with a friend. Even then, I found them hard to go back down & definitely glad I wasn't carrying leftovers. So keep in mind this is not an accessible place. As even to reach the desk for food pick-ups would require a person to do stairs. There's plenty of angled street parking available & location to hotels off boardwalk provides opportunity to order takeout.

Little pricy, but very yummy! I would definitely recommend, just know that you have to order rice…read moreon the side

My wife had a Salmon special they were offering and said it was on top of her list as well. All the ingredients used were incredibly fresh and local. No preservatives either!

So I went to Saffron in 2019 and had Butter Chicken so sweet I didn't eat it and left. (No one…read moreasked me if another dish might suit me better.) Six years later my wife and I decided to try again. Me: I was here years ago and I found the dish I ate too sweet. Is it possible to get my food without sugar? Sweet Waitress What was the dish? Me: I think it was Butter Chicken Sweet: There's no sugar in our Butter Chicken. It's made with tomato paste, ketchup... Me: (after she had finished listing ingredients.) Ketchup is almost pure sugar. I've been eating Indian cuisine for the large part of two centuries and in many cities on two continents. I cook northern and southern Indian dishes. I've taken classes, have several cookbooks and subscribe to the better you tube channels (I recommend Swasthi's.) Ketchup is not an ingredient in Indian food. I asked if there was ketchup in several other dishes and was basically told that the Korma was my best and only choice. There was ketchup even in the tandoori chicken. (There is an exception. There is a little chopped onion salad that is often made with either tomato chutney or ketchup.) Korma is a light sauce usually made with yoghurt and maybe a little cream. This was thickened with flour. So much flour that it reminded me of the time I tasted the paste in nursery school. The best word to describe it is "glop." To the many people who wrote rave reviews I beg you to take the ferry to the city and go to one of the many fabulous Indian restaurants there. Swad in West Vancouver is closest and the best. Vij's is amazing but very pricey. Sula and East is East are both terrific and you will pay the same as Saffron, maybe a tad less. My wife had the dahl. A lentil dish. It had a very strong flavour of...you guessed it---ketchup. We asked and, yes, it was, in fact, ketchup. The service was lovely. The naan bread was very good. Neither of them contained ketchup.

Hello my name is Michael. J and I was very VERY! DISAPPOINTED in my experience at royal zayka…read more I was recommended this restaurant through a friend that said it was a great restaurant. HOW EVER I have a few reasons to think otherwise. First, already had to wait like an hour and a half for my food. Even though all the tables were empty. (About the food) The curry that I was recommended was cold, with raw chunks of chicken and something brown in it, my butter chicken we SPECIFICALLY order with mild spice was burning hot to the point where i chocked on the food and threw up in my mouth. I found pistachio in my brother's curry, when we specifically asked for it without due to the fact that he is deadly allergic to it, (thankfully we were carrying an epi pen). Second of all there was this little annoying little tub butter who appeared to be around the age of 13 wearing a spiderman mask. He was borderline harassing me, my brothers, and wife(especially my wife). He then threatened to tell the owner on me saying it was his father. The nan bread was amazing however it was absolutely delicious. And the mango ice cream was a bit too creamy I really feel my experience was similar to landon and Dutch. Will not be coming back. UNTIL THESE PROBLEMS ARE FIXED. Please do better I right this review from the bottom of my heart and all that I say is to improve your restaurant. (Ps. this is what curry should look like ).
