Caution when eating the goat vindaloo (there are bones loose inside the sauce). Very flavorful overall. The mango lassi was sweet and thick. Pick up was easy and the service was quick yet they didn't do much to verify I was the correct person for my order. I just said I was picking up and they handed me the next bag in line. The ambiance of the restaurant was elegant and pleasing with may elements of their culture represented. I recommend eating here and definitely want to try eating at the restaurant next time. Happy eating!

Leashed and friendly dogs are allowed at the outdoor seating with views of the historic Monmouth County Hall of Records and Main Street. The flavorful spices and variety of options at Saffron are sure to please everyone. We enjoyed their lunch buffet and one of us went in at a time so Brie could stay outside. You can also order off their main menu filled with meat and vegetarian options. The rich curries are seriously so good and they also have tandoori, kabab, biryani, and more! BYOB and enjoy a special treat and make a memory with your pup!

Lamb chops (despite being over priced were great! 4 for $28 is a bit steep. But the flavor was fabulous). The onion Bhaji was also great. The naan was also fantastic. Cons: wait staff was a bit slow despite it being quite a small crowd. The main dish I had was fine, frankly it lacked a lot of flavor (Lamb tikka masala). And it was a bit bland. 50/50 on returning

I ordered takeout tonight and it was hands down the best takeout experience I've had in a long time. We got the vegetable samosas, chicken biryani, garlic naan, and vegetable pakora. Every single item was excellent - flavorful, fresh, and clearly made with care. The five-minute ride home felt like the longest five minutes ever thanks to the incredible aroma coming from the bag. That alone had me counting down the seconds. The order was ready quickly, everything was packaged well, and the staff was genuinely kind and appreciative of the business. This is officially in the regular takeout rotation. Highly recommend.

We started with the palak chaat and it was incredible--the perfect mix of crunch and tang that you want in a great starter. For the main course, the Kadhi chicken was the absolute standout. The chicken was so tender and the sauce was rich, velvety, and layered with spices. I will say that the prices are on the higher side, but the portions are massive and the quality is top-tier, so it feels like a fair trade-off. You definitely get your money's worth here and will likely have plenty of leftovers. The atmosphere is great and the service was spot on. I'm already looking forward to my next visit!

They have a buy 1 get 1 for the following, Tikka Masala & garlic Naan. I added 2 orders of samosas and 2 of the traditional rice. Winners!! Order was packed extremely well & was still very warm when received. We actually split the entrée and rice, so hubby has a whole lunch while I'm working tomorrow. Spices and warmth was fantastic, we loved the rice, fluffy and seasoned with clove, definitely my favorite and this rice just really complemented the entrée. Samosas were really a good size, I would order these to accompany a crisp salad, they are hearty, at least for me. I will definitely be ordering again through DD... or if in the area.. yes, I'd drive to the mall.

Most importantly, all of our food was terrific. The menu is predominantly Punjabi Food (North India). Where else can you find Amritsari Fish or Punjabi Kadi Pakora on the menu!?! Being that my origins are from that area, I can firmly vouch for the taste and quality of the food we ate. We ordered Palak Paneer and Punjabi Kadi Pakora along with some plain naans. The food was very flavorful and delicious. We ordered medium spicy. If you can't handle spice, I would recommend going for mild. The medium had a nice punch to it. My only negative would be that the Mango Lassi, I ordered, should have been served in a large glass. Because it was good! I plan to come back again and bring my mom and dad next time. I know they would appreciate the food.

It's a…read moregreat way to explore places I normally wouldn't visit, and this time we picked Thai Streat since Thai is our second favorite cuisine. We called around 8:40 PM, and they told us the kitchen would take its last order at 9 PM. Luckily, we made it just in time (around 9:02 PM), and they were kind enough to accommodate us. The ambiance was beautiful, with elegant golden décor hanging from the ceiling that gave the place a warm and inviting feel. We quickly ordered the Drunken Noodles and Basil Fried Rice, and to our surprise, the food arrived in just five minutes! The Drunken Noodles were easily the highlight of the meal, full of flavor and perfectly cooked. The Basil Fried Rice, however, was a bit disappointing as the rice was hard and chewy. Since it was closing time and we were starving, I didn't feel like complaining. Overall, I'd still say it's a solid choice for Thai food lovers in Central Jersey. The menu offers plenty of authentic Thai favorites, and based on our experience, I'd definitely come back to try more dishes.
