    A dump. Empty, dusty shelves. Crappy looking take out food. Nasty counter people. Stay away.

    Came here for the very first time today with my brother Peter and his daughter Kristina. Based on…read moreall the overwhelmingly positive reviews on social media, we decided to try the daily All You Can Eat Lunch Buffet for $24 per person. I'm 65 years old and have lived here on Long Island all my life in Suffolk, Nassau and Queens counties. I've been to many different restaurants over the years....and the Lunch Buffet at Saffire has to be hands down THE BEST dining experience that I've ever had in terms of FOOD, VALUE and absolutely the HOSPITALITY. It's great to be able to find such a new and wonderful Indian restaurant. THE FOOD: So let's start of first with food. An absolute 15 OUT OF 10 STARS!!! The Goat Meat was the most TENDER and TASTIEST I've ever had! The Tikka Marsala Chicken and Tandoori Chicken were also incredible. The Vegetable Samosas, Curried Spinach, Haka Noodles, Rice and Naan Bread...all were amazing!! And the Mango Lassi with Rose Petals was such a sweet and welcoming accompaniment. Without a doubt, Saffire has THE BEST Indian cuisine that I've ever had!! THE VALUE: What more can I say other than an ALL YOU CAN WANT LUNCH BUFFET FOR ONLY $24??? Most SOLID VALUE on Long Island...period!!! Definitely looking forward to coming for dinner to experience some more WONDERFUL tastes of India!!! Check out their menu at https://saffireli.com/menu THE HOSPITALITY: I can say with absolute truth that this is the very first restaurant that has ever made me feel like a treasured member of the family from the moment we walked in the door to the moment we walked out. ***I have to especially thank MICHAEL for his SINCERE PRESENCE and ABSOLUTE EXCELLENCE in making sure our first visit exceeded all expectations. The time we spent conversing with him today GUARANTEES a return visit to Saffire. And thanks to Michael's recommendation...I also discovered how much I like Chai Tea. Michael also introduced us to the owner Chani and his lovely wife so we could express to them directly how positive of a first visit we had. Meeting them both also enhanced how welcomed we all felt. We also loved the decor and ambiance of the restaurant. A wonderful environment in which to enjoy a truly delicious meal. So to summarize: AN ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS LUNCH BUFFET AT AN AMAZING VALUE, ALONG WITH THE WARMEST AND SINCERE HOSPITALITY YOU'LL EVER EXPERIENCE!! Please visit Saffire...and ENJOY the experience!!

My favorite Indian restaurant is about a 30-minute drive away, so I wanted to find something closer to the beach we were visiting. We decided to try the lunch buffet here and loved everything! They told us they've only been open for about a year, and I really hope they succeed. I'm always happy to support and share when a restaurant is worth the trip. I'm not sure if it's completely authentic, but I can tell you...it's really good! We will absolutely be back!

I absolutely love spicy food, and they definitely bring the heat without sacrificing the flavor. The chicken is delicious and the dish is always so satisfying. They are definitely on the pricier side, but honestly, it's so worth it. I'll keep coming back for that vindaloo!

    I had a really great experience at Inde Spice in Deer Park…read more I came specifically to try their new all-you-can-eat menu, and I'll admit, I was curious whether the quality would suffer with an unlimited format. That was absolutely not the case. Everything we tried tasted fresh, flavorful and made with care. We started with a Mango Lassi, then worked our way through the Samosa Chaat, Chilli Chicken, Chicken 65, Lamb Chops, Pani Puri and the sizzling Mixed Grill. The Lamb Chops were incredibly tender, and the Mixed Grill was one of the biggest standouts of the meal. The meats stayed juicy and were seasoned beautifully. We also had the Chicken Hakka Noodles, Lamb Curry, Chicken Tikka Masala and Butter Chicken with garlic naan. All three curries had rich, flavorful sauces, and being able to try smaller portions of so many different dishes is exactly what makes this menu such a great idea. For dessert, the Malai Kulfi was creamy with a really nice floral flavor. At the very end, the chef personally served us his homemade Mukhwas right into our hands, which was such a cool and memorable way to finish the experience. What impressed me most, though, was the hospitality. The chef was extremely personable, patient and genuinely interested in making sure everyone at the table was enjoying themselves. If you're unfamiliar with Indian cuisine, they're also more than happy to explain the dishes and help guide you through the menu. The all-you-can-eat option is a great value, but honestly, I'd recommend Inde Spice even without it. The food quality, hospitality and overall experience were all excellent. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the Deer Park area.

    I came here last week for an event, and got to enjoy basically a tasting menu of sorts…read more This menu took Indian flavors on a seriously fun ride. From rich and smoky to spicy, tangy, creamy, and refreshing. Banjara Tikka brought tender chicken thighs layered with yogurt, fried onion and garlic. Mauryaji Basket Chaat delivered chickpeas, potato, tamarind, mint, pomegranate and a creamy yogurt mousse. The Chicken Seekh Kebab was perfectly seasoned and savory with pickled laccha onion, while the Guntur Chilli Chicken Bao turned up the heat with Guntur red chili, sesame and refreshing beetroot shikanji shots. The vegetarian dishes absolutely held their own as well. Chilli Momo with carrot, sesame and seaweed, came out with a soft, delicate bite and a subtle chew, filled with a lightly spiced vegetable mix that leaned savory and aromatic rather than overpowering heat. The Paneer Makhni was rich, velvety, and deeply comforting. The paneer stayed soft and pillowy, soaking up a buttery tomato-cashew gravy that was slightly sweet, gently tangy, and finished with that unmistakable fenugreek aroma that tied everything together. The mains were just as unforgettable. Laal Maas came in bold and unapologetic. Tender goat slow-cooked until it practically melted off the bone, swimming in a deep, smoky gravy built on mathania chilies that brought slow heat. The Shrimp Malai Curry was the complete opposite in tone. Silky coconut milk wrapped around plump tiger shrimp, with Bengali whole spices adding a gentle sweetness and aromatic depth that made the dish feel light yet indulgent at the same time. And somehow dessert still had room to impress. Rose Kulfi was creamy, floral and sweet without being overwhelming. Drinks included everything from the floral, mezcal-and-rooza Gulabo to Mango Lassi. And as someone who historically doesn't like anything rose flavored, I enjoyed both the drink AND the dessert. Just as good as the food, was the service. It is definitely a spot that should not be missed.

    Banjara was definitely an experience, and of the most elite ones that I have had…read more Every dish had a signature way of being presented and definitely a tasty way to make its way to our hearts (and belly may I add) We did, of course, family style and got to try each dish, from its beginning to the end the place deserves a 5 star review . The servers were spectacular, super attentive and diligent with all of our requests The atmosphere is cozy and clean, I feel if this place was a little bigger it would be packed at all times I would definitely recommend coming here and trying each of the dishes, they are made with love and care
