Saffron Indian Bistro

Delicious! Our family loves good Indian food-so much so that we have a running list of the Indian restaurants we have tried in each town we visit so we can go back to our favorites whenever we passing through. This one is definitely going on the list. Everything we tried was delicious! We have the Tandori appetizer (moist and well seasoned), the Tikka Masala and the Butter Masala. Spice and flavor were amazing in all of our dishes. We can't wait to go back and try the Indian/Asian fusion dishes.

I can not believe that I have not left a review yet. My wife and I have been here a few times and each time is a great experience. This is a hidden gem in the back of a shopping center. When you first come in you are greeted by welcoming staff. Our first time in we were met by one of the owners and she was so helpful. Walked us through the menu, we ended up letting her order for us (highly recommended). The food is all fresh made daily by Sachin the chef. The ambiance is very good with the small family owned restaurant feel. If you have not tried it before you are missing out.

We ordered the Shrimp Korma. We are very particular about this dish because we have been to amazing places serving this dish in the past (for example, the famous Flagstaffs Delhi Palace). Here, it had some veggies such as corns, beans etc, which I believe are not typical from what I've known. Although the overall taste was not too bad, but it is also different and not as flavorful from the typical Indian Korma we have had.

Prices went up like everywhere but still great food and service. We love the tandoori, bird, sag, paneer, eggplant, dish, and I especially am enamored with the bhatura fry bread! Play session changed over the years small intimate, dining, family, run business watched the owners daughter grow over the years.

The food here is amazing but you know what isn't? When the owner sits at a table with her kids gossiping on the phone about an employee. About writing them up and whatever else she had said to the other on the line. There's a time and place for private conversations and in your own business where customers sit to eat, is not it. The dinning area is an atmosphere that is supposed to be enjoyable, pleasant experience. As the owner, your gossiping should be done at your own home, in your own eating area.This is referring to the lady that ALWAYS sits at the table with her computer.My husband and I have ate there several times but we are at the point where it's uncomfortable. I'll need to strongly consider doing take out from this business for now on.

Its much better now and customer service is good and pleasant dining experience is what I felt this time

Food was excellent! The chicken could have been cooked a little better Service was great! The person taking the order was kind Ambiance was quiet and cozy like the fresh air

I was in the area and I love Indian food, so I decided to give this place a shot.I ordered my usual which is chicken tandoori, some garlic naan and one samosa.The chicken tandoori was probably the best I have ever had. The flavor was amazing!!!The garlic naan was delicious. It tasted like it was cooked on an open fire.The samosa was also good.I just wished they had Coke Zero.The server got me the menu and took my order right away and let me know the status of my order frequently.The place is very simple inside and has some big numbers painted on the wall which I didn't understand it's meaning or purpose.I will definitely comeback when I am on the west side again.

I live in Mesa but Saffron is worth the 45 min drive! There's nothing like this restaurant in the East valley. Service is fast, friendly, and the restaurant is clean, modern, and comfortable. The naan and paneer wrap are to die for. You won't regret grabbing a bite to eat here. Once you do, you'll be hooked!

The food was very good and we all enjoyed it a lot. Service was OK but not great. The ambiance was nice. I recommend it and even if they are a little slow sometimes it's worth it.
