I must say, it exceeded all my expectations! The food was absolutely delicious, with rich, aromatic flavors that take to me straight to India. What impressed me even more was the take-out experience. Even after several hours, the food still retained its freshness and taste — a true testament to the quality and care they put into their dishes. The service was top-notch as well. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made the entire dining experience feel welcoming and comfortable. Whether you dine in or order take-out, I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone craving authentic Indian flavors. Definitely looking forward to my next visit!
We were waiting to try the food at this place since we know Saffron from Sankalp group in Ahmedabad, until we finally did a week ago. We ordered Buttered Garden Symphony which is similar to Veg. Makhanwala, along with Veg. Dum Biryani. We ordered both dishes to be spicy. Both the dishes were superbly tasty. Every bite reminded us of the same taste we used to get in India. The spice level was perfect! The place was clean with nice ambience. We are definitely coming back to try more dishes soon!
We visited Saffron for the first time today and were pleasantly surprised. Ambience, food and service were top notch. You don't find too many good Indian restaurants in the Aurora - Newmarket area but this one was great. We tried their soup, masala fries and paneer biryani ; all delicious.
Fantastic Indian eatery, definitely gives fine dining for Indian cuisine with a wonderful ambience. Their service is top class and is very welcoming. Love the taste….. we use to go to Brampton for authentic taste but Saffron stopped our long drive for food.. Today visited for our wedding anniversary and got a surprise gulab jamun from Saffron.. thanks a lot ..🙏🏻
Atmosphere and staff was top notch. Very clean. I'll be dining in next time for sure. I ordered: Royal Masala (spicy) Bhuma lamb (spicy) Tandoori lamb chops 4 garlic Naan I love to cook but can never indian perfect. This food is truly authentic. Flavors are so deep. Chicken was tender and not dry. Rice was perfectly done. Highly suggest this restaurant. Hand down the best authentic cuisine I've had. If you like crazy spicy like me, ask for it. But beware, their spicy is real.
I went with my family over there and everything was absolutely great. The staff, the service, and especially the food. The food was so great and even the portions were great. It reminded us of an authentic taste of food from India. To highlight the staff, everyone was very friendly and polite. They even made a customized drink to take care of our dietary restrictions. Keen on visiting the restaurant again. Hopefully soon!!!
Fantastic Indian eatery, definitely gives fine dining for Indian cuisine with a wonderful looking bar. Their service is top class and is very welcoming. We had their Pav Bhaji as our starter which was very good. Their Chicken 65 and Hyderabadi biryani were both fantastic and I would have again (we were advised that their lamb and chicken dishes are Halal). We have higher spice tolerance and their food lived up to the high spice level. Lastly, my wife and I really enjoyed the music playlist they had on, which made the experience even more pleasant. Great job and will visit again.
Top notch service, tasty food and great portions! One of the finest Indian restaurants in the Aurora/Newmarket area. We went there on a Friday for a late lunch. We were greeted by a friendly staff member, the food arrived fairly quickly and everything tasted awesome. Highly recommended. Will make another visit soon!
Good food, good vibes, and the bathrooms have cool disco lights!
It was great food. Nice service.
This is one of the best Indian food experiences I have had. The food quality is unrivaled. Its one thing for a place to have great tasting food. Here you get that coupled with the finest ingredients. The staff are so helpful and pleasent and each time I dine here, I cant help but leave thinking I need to come back asap. 5/5 or 10/10 no matter how you slice it this place will certainly meet, and most likely exceed your expectations.

I made a last min reservation as they had all kinds of available (time wise) upon going into the restaurant, I was asked to wait for 20-25 min even though there were a few empty tables around. Why show availability when you don t want to entertain?
Best restaurant for having a really good experience, food and the best service. I truly recommend this place
If you haven t visited here yet, you should! The food is amazing and the people are very friendly. Definitely worth it. Will be coming back Food
First time here and it was fantastic. The staff were great and they explained the menu and that they could adjust the spice level on some dishes. We will definitely be returning again and again
Great experience! Food is very delicious, service is nice and atmosphere is comfortable!
Everything was fresh & delicious. Went for the lunch special non-veg combo for a reasonable price of $20
Wow!!! I have been craving Indian food throughout my entire pregnancy so far, but nothing has quite hit the spot until now!!! Absolutely delicious, recommendations were great, service was so friendly and attentive, and the restaurant atmosphere itself so nice! Thank you!
We searched the Resturant online since we wanted to dine with family 2 adults, 4 year old and toddler. We were served by Purvanshi, very nice and friendly server. The staff was very cordial and helping keep our kids engaged. We ordered samosa and paneer tikka as appetizers. Samosa were quite good, correct spice level for our pallet and paneer spice level for kids. Main course was lacha parantha (it was over engineered and very cakey for our liking), garlic nan was good however. dal makhani was quiet good but mix veg dish was quiet sad. But the overall ambience and decor and service levels were quite good though but slightly on the expensive side!! Kid-friendliness: The chef made kid special paneer tikka on request. Wheelchair accessibility: The entrance was wheelchair accessible
Amazing Indian food, great taste and wonderful services. Highly recommended.
Food is really awesome.!!! Great service and atmosphere.!! Must visit
Excellent food, friendly staff and really nicely decorated inside. We ve been here twice and both have been great experiences.
We had 2 appetitizers and 4 entrees...from the pani poori to the chicken 65 byriani...everything was great ! Only thing was that sitting by the door got a bit chillie (when it opens) but otherwise no complaints at all! Shukria...nandree! Lowering my initial cost per person to 20-30...because we have a ton of leftovers that Im looking forwards to tomorrow!
Wow!!! Never really had Indian food before. My husband wanted to try this restaurant. So happy we did, food was amazing, our waiter was great! Recommended some things and they were delicious, definatley coming back!
Very delicious and spicy. Thank you.

Excellent Indian food and great service
I have a couple of issues with this place: 1. When I tried to order food online, the system didnt allow me to order the food without giving my email account. So, my partner had to drive to the restaurant to order the food, and when he asked why its not possible to order food online without giving your emails account, he got an answer that this is because the system sends you email confirmation after the purchase. This is not true. The system asks for your email telling you - lets see if you have account with us - and then when you enter email, it tells you that you need to create an account. So, its not about just sending email confirmation, its about keeping you email on their records - this is a very intrusive business. 2. I ordered samosas and cheese naan, and I didnt like any of them. Samosas were so incredibly hot, that my taste buts were burned to sense any taste. I am familiar with hot food, Indian, Chinese, Thai food, which usually are very hot - I cook a lot of recipes from all around the world, including hot dishes, but I dont cook it to the extreme hit. Looks like this restaurant targets only people from India. Also, I didnt like cheese naan because of extreme amount of cheese. I though I would have Indian naan with some hint of cheese, but instead of this I got some kind of super cheese pizza.
Wonderful food. Price was right I will definitely eat here again
Authentic taste as well as more than enough amount of food in lunch combo Vegetarian options: Perfect lunch combo Food : 5/5 |
