TEN STARS if I could…read more I live in Vancouver, and I dine out a LOT. Restaurants open and close a dime a dozen here, which is why I have pretty much stopped writing reviews here/commenting. This meal, on the other hand... since dining there, I have told every single person I've seen about the meal. I can't help myself - I have not stopped talking about it. I'm currently seeking out ingredients so I can try and recreate the dishes, to the best extent my (decent) cooking skills. I didn't take pictures, because the food was far too good to not dig in immediately, but there are plenty of pictures here and on IG and elsewhere if you need to see the dishes. We shared, between three of us: The arugula salad - what sounds like a basic bit*h of a salad, "arugula, pecorino romano, caper berries" was a flavour explosion, and the absolute best opening to our meal. The special - Arancini stuffed with fontina and mushroom duxelle with a truffle cream sauce (IIRC - our lovely server Jen told us about it verbally and I think those were the specifics) - again, delicious, smaller than arancini is typically, in a good way - there were six arancini, and IMO, the more crispy surface area, the better - I don't actually like them when they're the size of a baseball. These were probably golf-ball sized, and light and airy, and absolutely delicious. For mains, we ordered: Seared Diver Scallops - with risotto, English peas, black truffle and grana padano. Perfectly cooked scallops, fresh peas that were bursting with flavour, just all around scrumptious. Quattro Formaggio Pizza - just a perfect Neapolitan pizza, no notes. Sausage and Rapini Pasta - cavatelli, fennel sausage, rapini, garlic, pecorino... somehow they made a pasta dish "light"?! Despite having sausage in the dish, it wasn't greasy or heavy, it was super flavourful and had a nice light sauce, and was again, extremely delicious. My only regret is not ordering another pizza to take home, as we left the next morning. TL;dr - eat here. Don't hesitate.

The butter chicken was not butter and didn't have a lot of flavor to it. It didn't have the orange color to it either. Looks like they cheaped out on the tomatoe. The naan was also not wow either.

The menu is quite large, lots of mains and handhelds to choose from. Our group ordered the salmon burger, beef burger, beef quesadilla and pasta carbonara. All was good and tasty. Especially loved the yam fries!! Our only complaint was the wait. It took a while to get our drinks, and also to order the food. For drinks I ordered a lavender coconut margarita, it was quite strong and a bit too salty. The others had different beers so no issues on that side. Overall a good place to have a relaxed meal.

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.

[although i'm writing this review for a burger place i'll just say that snickett park is a great place to enjoy your take out of the weather is right.] this is definitely a take out place but the group of guys before me got handed their burgers and literally started chowing down before they had walked away so not sure if they were inanely hungry or overly excited about the food they'd ordered. there was a steady stream of what looked like locals coming in and placing orders right before noon so i'm going to assume this is a place that is on the radar of people in town when they get a certain hankering. for me, it served the purpose and it was tasty. i was back on the road after some time down at the water but if you're going to be in the vicinity of sechelt or passing through and need some all american menu items, they can help you out. one star off for the handwritten menu that's difficult to read and make sense of in places...i think that could be improved upon.

While the menu looks enticing, the food execution is below average and can't be recommended. -- Fish and Chips: Cod was nicely sized, but bland.
