It's located in a happening part of town and it was conveniently located near my hotel, so it worked out great because the closeness ended up being a coincidence.... Walking distance. The venue is big and open until 2am and they serve hookah out on the beautiful patio and indoors as well. Our waitresses name was Auquel, she was super sweet and cheerful. She made a perfect suggestion of the Chicken Shawarma plate that I absolutely loved! This place seems like it would be a hot spot to dance the night away on the weekends but we came mid-week so it was not busy at all... but for us it was perfect because we just got off a late night flight anyway.

The area inside was nice and clean! The food was nice and hot, freshly cooked. I ordered an okra dish as an appetizer and the main dish contained lamb and rice. The appetizer came out at the same time as my main course. I also ordered an Arabic salad, which was okay. The staff were okay, not very friendly or attentive. The atmosphere was a little quiet to my liking, not saying it was terrible just not what I'm use to. Overall an okay experience. I would go back for the wonderful flavors.

The adana pulled apart easily, no chew to fight through, and the chicken skewers stayed juicy all the way to the last bite, which doesn't always happen with skewered chicken. Flavor was just slightly lacking on its own. Good char, right texture, but the seasoning underneath could've used one more pass before hitting the grill. The sauces made up the difference. A garlicky yogurt sauce and a smoky pepper one, I kept going back to that pepper sauce for the adana. With it, no complaints. Lavash came out warm, soft, torn easily without falling apart, good for scooping up extra sauce once the meat ran out. Service moved fast, refilled water without being asked twice, and the server knew which sauce paired with which meat when I asked. Would come back for the tenderness, the pepper sauce, and the lavash. Docking a star because the seasoning on the meat itself has room to catch up to how well it's cooked.

Ordered: Lemon Lit Hookah (~$31): flavor by Eternal Smoke…read more Aya's take: Nothing like a hookah session to digest your dinner and catch up with an old friend! We stopped by Zaman and I will say, it was a lot more casual than expected. Not to mention, for a Saturday night, it was practically empty. There's really no ambiance here so if you're looking for a no frills spot, this is it. Casper was super friendly and hospitable! He gave us recommendations which we ultimately went with. The Lemon Lit Hookah was different than what I usually smoke. It had a zesty lemon and icy cold flavor that's pretty refreshing although could be a bit harsh if you're not used to the icy flavor. I usually prefer mint over ice flavor (yes, there is a difference) so this wasn't my favorite but it was a good try. It lasted for the 2 hours we were there (and could have kept going). Cool spot and shout out to Casper for his customer service.

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.
