    Garlic naan
    Sally A.

    Okay 5 stars is strictly for the bhindi masala. It was the best I've had in years! It was a perfect ratio of okra to onions. It had red and green peppers, cooked to perfection! Each bite was divine. I ordered it desi hot, and it was perfect! I can't say enough about how good it was. I will say that it didn't reheat as well though. Okay onto the place, it hasgreat bones, nice artwork, they had cloth table coverings... but then they covered them with paper, and served the food in to go containers and paper plates! They had a buffet section that they used for storage... it was not a great ambiance. I went at an odd time of the day, there was only one other customer, but they had a lot of take out orders. Service was fine. The food took 20 minutes to get, it was freshly made. So, but for the food it would get 2.5 stars... but we're here for the food!

    Vegetable Samosa

    What a gem of a place! First time trying it and immediately loved the vibe. Very welcoming people. I got the chicken tikka masala and gf bread and my husband got same but with garlic naan. Also vegetable samosas. Everything was so good.

    This is the dineing room,, so pretty and the bathrooms feel just like a home

    I love this place for real authentic Indian food and the people at this location definitely know their stuff,, even with my friend who can't handle spice or many textures in their food was happy with the options they had :) We were immediately greeted with a comfortable tone and the girl almost seemed excited to see us even if we had a lot of questions and didn't know much,, it also wasn't a long wait for our food at all they got on it fast Fave place and location

    No, the color is not edited. That neon-red slop is what they actually served me.

    This is gentrified Indian food at its worst. I honestly wouldn't even call it Indian food, as it lacked almost all the depth and flavor the cuisine is known for. The Shrimp Tikka Masala was particularly disappointing. The sauce was watery, bland, and had an unsettling, artificial red color that looked totally unnatural. I ordered a spice level 3, but there was almost no detectable heat whatsoever. It felt like the flavors were completely watered down. Even if I were desperate for a meal, I wouldn't come back here.

    Chicken Tikka Masala

    Not great. Chicken tikka masala was very liquidy rather than thick and creamy. Taste wasn't good. Also forgot my naan :(

    I am always in the search for great Indian food especially Indian street food- I have heard of this spot but never had the time to check it out- I am so glad I did! Delicious Indian food AND halal? Run! The spot is decent sized, plenty of space for a small or large group and excellent service! I tried their chaat and their kaathi rolls- you get a great amount of food for what you're paying. Their kaathi rolls are also larger than most other places, their chicken one was packed with flavor, their chaat was perfect and their samosas were solid. Check this spot out you will not be disappointed!

    Tandoori Fish 3.5 Stars Rara Chicken with basmati rice 4.5 Stars Staff 4.8 Stars Cleanliness 4.5 Stars Decor 4.5 Stars This was my partner's first time trying Indian cuisine. We tried the Grilled Tandoori Fish, which I found to be decent but had too many bones. On the other hand, the Rara chicken was exceptionally tender and flavorful, complemented perfectly by the basmati rice. We will definitely visit again.

    10/10 tasty. Ordered take out. It's all good, the entire menu lol While waiting we stood on a sticky floor mat, but I think it's nice old and the rubber is getting tacky.

    Good food! Would try again. It's a sit down restaurant, so I felt awkward placing my order to-go. Would definitely call ahead in the future.

    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!!

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.

The hostess greets me as I give her my name for the pick up order. I get home and my son is explaining the dish to me. Dad, first? Basket of Naan - Plain naan, onion kulcha, and garlic naan This is in a large bag, I'm told to rip a piece off the garlic naan. Next, I open my dish. The Chicken Tikka Masala. The C.T.M. is a dish of boneless chicken simmered in a creamy tomato gravy with a succulent flavor of fenugreek. Fenugreek?! I'm told to take a scoop of the Basmati Rice and put it on the side. So far, easy peasy! I'm a pro at Indian cuisine! Now, dip the Garlic Naan in your sauce, grab a piece of chicken and dig in. What in the sweet mother load did I just experience?! The sauce is so flavorful and the naan? Where have you been all my life?? We're talking, laughing and just enjoying our lunch. From the tasty different Naan to the deelish Chicken Tikka Masala, I'm a fan at this point. I still don't know what Fenugreek is but I think I like it. Fan!
