Food is good. We have been twice and enjoyed both times. Chicken curry is the favorite so far.

Very good food. Very small portions. Very high prices. For so little value, we will probably not give them a third shot.

Fantastic food. And decent sized portions. Right in the heart of downtown Northfield. We'll definitely be back.

I'm so glad this place has opened! We had take-out Rogan Josh and Chicken Makhani, plus sides, and everything was excellent.

Ordered takeout from Saffron and had such a great experience…read more Their online ordering system is super easy to use, which made everything really smooth. Our order was ready on time and packaged well. Even though we were just picking up, the staff were attentive and helpful, which I really appreciated. The space itself is also very nice. Clean, well kept, and has a welcoming atmosphere. We started with the veggie samosas and mixed pakoras, and both were amazing. Perfectly cooked with great flavor and really good sauces. For mains, we had the Chicken Makhani (butter chicken) and the Chicken Malabar, and both were so good. Super rich, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The portions were also very generous. The garlic naan was a standout. Fresh, soft, and perfect for dipping into the sauces. Overall, everything we ordered was delicious and really hit the spot. Great flavors, great portions, and a really easy takeout experience. Definitely a place I would return to for dine in or takeout.

I have been visiting this restaurant or ordering food delivery, pretty regularly during trips to…read morethe Twin Cities. The food quality is pretty consistent. The restaurant itself, if you choose to visit, is very nice and perfect for families/groups or for a romantic evening with your significant other. The service is also pretty decent. But most of all the variety on the menu is pretty vast. But that also means that most of the items are pre-made. But some items like the dosa or bhature have to be made to order and definitely taste much better.

Randomly landed on this place while scrolling through yelp for a place to eat at. Located in a…read moresmall strip by other restaurants and stores. It was a little quiet when we got here with only a couple other tables around 5 pm. Place is a little older looking. The menus are old so the price is not updated. They even place a piece of paper to say price may differ from menu so if you really want to know how much something is, check. All of our dishes and drinks were more than menu price. This location has decent lassi for my liking. I did enjoy the mango more than strawberry. The food came out within reasonable time given that it wasn't busy. All of the dishes were delish and nothing to complain about. They were all flavorful. I honestly recommend all of the dishes we got. I did not enjoy the lamb curry because I'm not a lamb person and it def has the lamb aftertaste. Service was great. Please spend the money and update the menu, especially they are more than a dollar increase so customers can plan appropriate.

We ordered takeout on a Saturday, online ordering said it would be ready in 15 minutes. This was…read morenot the case, it was more like 40 minutes. Not ideal when you have a hungry toddler waiting in the car. No ambiance inside, really could use brighter lights (it was dim), some cleaning, decor and music. The place feels tired. Service was also lacking, did not receive a welcome and many people were just waiting there and had to approach the host stand (which is also at what appears to be the bar area?) Now to the food. Chana masala was good. Chicken tikka was fine, nothing special. Rice was fine but we received more like 1-1.5 portions of it instead of 2 (for the 2 entrees). Maybe they were short staffed, but my recent experiences missed the mark and I do not know if we will be coming back
