We tried this restaurant for the first time on a Friday evening. It's a small spot tucked into a…read morestrip mall, and they were pretty busy when we arrived. The ambiance is just okay--nothing particularly special--and it was noticeably warm inside. With Indian food already being on the spicier side, a cooler temperature would definitely make the dining experience more comfortable. We ordered the rogan josh, palak chaat, samosas, chicken biryani, Jaipur dosa, garlic naan, and a few drinks. Service started off a bit slow--we waited a while for our drinks--but once things got going, the food came out fairly quickly. One thing I really appreciated was the variety of chutneys served with the appetizers. That was a great touch, especially since many places tend to be pretty minimal with those. Everything we ordered tasted really good, and you can tell the flavors were well done. See photos below. Our total came to $105 for everything, which felt reasonable for the amount of food we got. Overall, the food is definitely worth it. Next time, though, we'll probably go with takeout to skip the wait and enjoy it at home.

Bombay pops up, is highly rated, and is just about a mile and a half away from where we were. We pull up, go in, and it's clean, cozy & bright. The servers are really kind. My friend's young daughter is trying to do vegan, and my friend has a tree nut allergy AND eats gluten-free, and they can accommodate ALL OF THAT! Yay! This is one of the best menus I've seen in the United States for Desi food, and true to Orlando style, they also have some "asian" dishes / cool combos of Chinese & Indian on the menu. I have never seen so many restaurants with two/hybrid/fusion menus as I have in Orlando! We got Hakka Noodles, Pani Puri, Masala Dosa, Palak Paneer & Chai. Pani Puri came assembled already and in a cute little wagon. Everything tasted amazing!! Tasted fresh-made with fresh ground spices & tasty ingredients. It was very reasonably priced, and the food came out fast. We didn't finish it all & they were prompt with the to go containers. Definitely going back. Thanks you guys!

The flavors were rich and authentic, and the spice levels were perfectly balanced. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, especially when it came to suggesting dishes that suited our vegetarian preferences. Based on their recommendations, we tried the Tandoori Paneer, Coriander Pesto Paneer, and the Chaat Platter--all of which were delicious. A special shout-out goes to the Szechwan Fried Rice. If you're craving the true taste of Indian street food, ask for it spicy. The bold flavors will instantly transport you back to the bustling streets of India. Overall, a wonderful dining experience with great food, attentive service, and authentic flavors. Highly recommended for anyone looking for quality Indian cuisine in Orlando!

I came here to celebrate my dad's and niece's birthdays…read more I made a reservation a week in advance for a party of seven, and everything seemed fine. They mentioned they could be busy and asked me to call ahead with our appetizer order. I called as we were leaving the hotel and on our way. The woman who answered was rude and said a party of 12 had walked in before our reservation, so the wait could be a while. Since we had planned our day around this dinner, we came anyway. Before we were seated, I placed the order for the table, which definitely helped. The papadam was freshly fried and tasted good, but it was a little oily. The gobi Manchurian lacked crispness and could have used more sauce. The paneer makhani had a strong elaichi flavor, but they were generous with both the paneer and the sauce. Also, we requested medium spicy and it wasn't different than the kids mild. The naan was fine, though a little on the crispy side. The Schezwan noodles were good but were the last dish to come out. Overall, the food was fine and the service was good. The ambiance was lacking, and it's not a place I would return to, especially for a birthday celebration.

On this occasion, I ordered the Chicken Korma, Garlic Naan, Plain Naan and the veggie samosas. The Chicken Korma was mouthwatering and a huge portion. I saved half for the next day.

At first I was disappointed, but then I realized that I had never had chicken samosas before, and these were delicious. So, in the end that part was sort of a happy mistake because I got to try something new that was very tasty. The garlic naan and the plain naan were perfect, as well. I will definitely be ordering from Dada again sooner than later.

For my appetizer, I had the Dragon Chicken, which was SO good and a surprisingly large portion! Definitely a standout and easily big enough to share. For my entrée, I chose the Chicken Tikka Masala. The sauce was delicious, rich, flavorful, and especially good soaked up with the naan. I did wish there was a little more chicken in the dish, and for the regular menu price I would expect the portion to be larger. That said, I really liked that the entrée came with both white rice and naan, and the naan was excellent. For dessert, I tried the Ras Malai. I didn't realize when ordering that it is made with cottage cheese, and unfortunately the texture just wasn't for me. That's definitely more of a personal preference than anything! I would have loved to see something like their lava cake offered as one of the Magical Dining dessert choices for another option. Service was really good throughout our dinner. We were celebrating a birthday and they made it feel special, which we really appreciated. At the end of the meal, they brought us plenty of to-go containers and even offered us additional rice and naan to take home, which was such a nice touch. Overall, Magical Dining was a great way to try Jala. Beautiful atmosphere, attentive service, really flavorful food, and that Dragon Chicken is definitely something I would order again!

But the food lacked in flavor and spice. We stopped in a little after 1:00, ordered 3 of the lunch meal sets, which include your choice of lunch size curry, naan, small portion on yellow lentils, naan and two dips (one cilantro/mint & the other a sweet tamarin mix) and tiny cup of creamy mango desert. Naan was good and a lot. We choose the paneer saag, lamb vindaloo, and lamb coconut - all medium spiced. Nothing was cooked to order, asked for medium spiced, all were barely even mild. The paneer saag was a puree, not to my liking - like mine to still look like spinach (leafy?), the lamb in both dishes was over cooked, rubbery. The vindaloo had no flavor. It was kind of like the Bland Indian food you would expect at a buffet. Sorry to say this may be our last visit.

First off, this is around the fourth or fifth time we visit Saffron Indian Cuisine in the Sand Lake…read morearea. The restaurant, in our view, has gotten increasingly lacklustre in the past couple of years. While the tables and the interiors are still generally clean, we have noticed wobbly table legs and cracked/torn seat covers that seem to remain unchanged and/or unrepaired for months. Coming to the food, while most of the Punjabi and North-west Indian fare on their menu has been the typically Americanized Indian food for the most part, anything outside of that category on their menu can and will throw you off. Especially if you've had the authentic stuff and know what those dishes taste like. On our latest visit last night, we ordered dahi tikki for appetizer which was served to us without the dahi. No attempt was made on part of the server or the kitchen staff to correct the error and provide the yogurt dressing. So we had a couple of aloo tikkis (spiced potato patties) with the regular chutneys that were at the table. We also ordered chicken vindaloo, bhindi do pyaza and butter naan for the entrée. To our surprise, the chicken tasted nothing like vindaloo and it had potatoes in it!!! LOL! For the uninitiated, Vindaloo is the Indian interpretation of 'Carne de Vinha d'alhos', which was introduced in the early 16th century to the former Portuguese colony of Goa in India. In Goa, the dish is colloquially known as 'vindalho' or 'vindaloo' and is prepared in a very similar manner to its Portuguese counterpart. It's a type of braised meat prepared with bold fiery spices and wine vinegar to impart that recognisably bold, pickle like flavour and has a beautiful, rich brown sauce. Vindaloo has absolutely NOTHING to do with Aloo (potatoes) in any shape, way or form. What was served to us seemed like some Frankensteined variation of Chicken tikka masala with some potatoes thrown in at whim. The bhindi do pyaza was alright in terms of flavor but the team in their kitchen ignored to discard the cap/stem of the okras causing the preparation to have a rather unpleasant texture and mouthfeel. The butter naans were also very inconsistent in texture. The first one was fine, the second one was overcooked, brown and crispy and the one we ordered to go was slightly undercooked and doughy. Also, not sure if it's worth mentioning, but the lights inside the restaurant kept being dimmed to the point of being turned off several times when we were seated at the table at around 8:30PM. I'm not sure what's going on with this restaurant but if the owners and staff actually read the reviews, please do something about it. We have been to Saffron before and we used to really enjoy the food, the service and the overall atmosphere. But lately it's been all going downhill. The only saving grace is that the portions served here are still huge. But that won't save the restaurant if the quality of the food and everything else keeps tanking. It'll be a shame to see another good restaurant fall from grace. We would absolutely urge the owners to take notice and fix things so those of us who have loved this place in the past can keep returning.

The pakora was fried perfectly and had the right amount of spices, making it so flavorful and addicting that my mom enjoyed it so much. The meat area had Chicken Tikka Masala, Cashew Chicken, Goat Biryani, and Tandoori Chicken. All were wonderful. The biryani had nice pieces of goat, but most of them had bones. The the goat was tender and flavorful from being with the bones. The cashew chicken was good, but also had bones. The chicken tikka was boneless and the chicken was soft. The sauces were flavorful and medium spiced. The tandoori chicken was cooked nicely, but you did need a knife and fork to cut it. For the vegetarian dishes, the okra and potato were both enjoyable. The paneer dish was a bit too sweet for me, and the vegetable biryani seemed to have golden raisins, which I didn't enjoy. For dessert, I just took the fruit custard, which was mostly just fruit in a mango milk/sauce. It was still delicious! We all agreed that the food was great here for the buffet! The service is good, but can be busy. While our plates got cleared for the first rounds, it did pile up during the second round and dessert. It didn't get cleared until we left. It was ok because we had enough space to eat anyways. I also noticed that relaxing piano music was in the background, so it does help calm the atmosphere in a tourist area. The price increased to about 20 dollars per person, but this is still a great deal. With various types of food to enjoy and unlimited portions til your stuffed, it's an excellent value.

We ordered the Dal Maharani, and while our waitress asked about spice level, it felt like she made the decision for us. We enjoy spice, but even the first bite was hotter than we expected, and we barely ate any of it despite it being otherwise flavorful. Toward the end, our waitress asked us to leave a review... and then stood there waiting. When my husband said we were still chatting, she kept circling back to check, which felt pretty pushy. Later, when we requested to-go boxes, she said "there is no rush" and then disappeared. We had to ask again. Overall, the food is good and the staff is mostly friendly, but the unexpectedly fiery dal and the slightly overzealous service kept this from being a 5-star experience.
