So good. Love the onion pakora, the mango chicken, the saffron platter, the Naan is huge. The food and rice was fresh. A good spice and flavor to the food!

My partner and I get saffron touch every couple of weeks (it’s our go to takeout place) We love the food - it’s so good. We haven’t eaten in, as we always get takeout on skip. Big portions, we always have leftovers or share 1 meal and it’s enough for both of us. Extremely flavourful and the employees always leave us nice notes for ordering from them. Highly suggest if you have a hankering for Indian.

New owners have done a great job with Saffron Touch. The dining area is much more inviting and the menu is more streamlined and transparent. Food is great and prices are about the same. Also, the Sunday specials are an excellent new option. In my humble opinion, this is still the best Indian food in Vernon.

I had lunch with my friends and it was the best butter chicken I had here in Vernon. It is very delicious and the portions and the prices are very customer friendly. The whole dining experience was elevated with the friendly and welcoming staff. And to mention that (with the non-veg Thali) they give both rice AND naan.

Excellent first time experience at Saffron Touch, under new ownership! The food was amazing and so full of flavor. Portions were just right! The menu is impressive with a great variety of Indian dishes! Tasteful music played in the background at an enjoyable lower volume. My only suggestion would be to dim the lighting for a more intimate experience. We had the pleasure of meeting and speaking with the owner and head chef, as they personally visited our table, when we completed our meal, welcoming our feedback and thanking us for dining with them. Overall, we had a 10 out of 10 experience and look forward to returning with family and friends!

Best food in vernon

December 9, 2024

We ordered Amritsari Kulcha via Uber from this place, but the food was not up to the mark. The Chana Sabzi tasted terrible and was not mixed well. The gravy was watery, lacking any flavor. As for the Kulcha, it was hard to find the potato filling; it felt like just plain hard flour. This has happened to us twice. We decided to give them another chance, but they failed again this time. Vegetarian options: Amritsari Kulcha

Ordered out butter chicken for my family and it did not disappoint. My kids can t do spice so picked the mild option which was actually mild. Quite often with other restaurants mild is still too spicy for them. Will definitely order again and look forward to trying other items on the menu.

We tried Saffron Touch for the first time, and will be visiting again soon. The service was unwavering; friendly and attentive. The portions were not huge but satisfying. I ordered the special and opted for the butter chicken. I left feeling satisfied and with some leftovers. The flavors of the butter chicken were on point, very well seasoned, and the sauce texture was luxurious. Best butter chicken I have ever tried. The sides that came with the dish were also tasty and just enough of each. The naan was also delicious. It was overall a very pleasant culinary experience.

My family ate here and my mother an myself got food poisoning she s been nonstop vomiting since last night. This was the best place in town. Before they switched owners and management. And the cooks. I m very saddened by this because we used to eat here for many years. I will not come back to this restaurant. Even the way they delivered the food it was in a tray dish with everything all attached. Not like it used to be. In single dishes as ordered. Too bad a wonderful restaurant that s been around for many years has now gone under.

Is it good Indeed it is the naan bread my fav from the original is thicker I use it as a wrap It is also very tasty Butter chicken order a bit hotter than usual Not as creamy yet very tasty must add portion was indeed greater I would totally recommend this restaurant based on the quantity the quality and the over the top service the new owners were willing to provide I thank you

We have been going to Saffron Touch for 6-7 years now and it s always our first choice when dining out in downtown Vernon. The food is spectacular without exaggeration! And the service by Samuel makes you feel like you re in a upper scale restaurant! The lamb is so tender and tasty had to take a picture of the presentation before beginning eating. I can t recommend it enough giving them a try if you have not eaten here yet simply amazing and you will say Wow, is this ever good! with every mouth full. Thank you Sam for your excellent service!

The food was amazing the service by Samuel was outstanding however I did not feel like it was a good value for our money.

December 23, 2023

I ordered out and it was very disappointing to say the least. The naan was so floppy and soggy and the flavor was very underwhelming. The chicken in my dish was definitely overdone as it was quite dry. I probably would have been better off buying a premade sauce. I dont believe I will be ordering from here again.. I also ordered a chai with my meal and given everything...at least the tea was alright.

★★★★★
December 23, 2023

I always order take out (butter chicken & aloo gobi) It takes about 15 mins for me to get home and it s still very good. I ve tried many other Indian restaurants in Vancouver & this place is the closest thing to satisfy my cravings. Thank you for always giving friendly service as well!

Service took forever. Once the samosas came the garnish was old and moldy. We showed it to the waitress and said we were leaving. She asked in a surprised voicebecause of that? And I told her I didnt trust the rest of the food quality if something obvious like moldy vegetables made it to my table.

Local Guide
December 23, 2023

Wont order from them again. Their pakoras were good but their mains are minimum $16 and dont come with rice or naan. A small side of rice was over $6, same for the naan you only get 1 piece! Overall disappointed.

I m generally not one for Indian food due to my sensitivity to spices, but I quite enjoyed my experience at Saffron Touch. The waiter assured me that the spice levels could meet my request of zero spiciness. And while other restaurants have made that claim and lied, this restaurant was truthful with their claims. I would go again.

This was the 89th eatery I visited in Vernon. This was my first time dining in at Saffron Touch. Along with Curry Pot, Saffron Touch is one of the original East Indian restaurants here in town. Saffron Touch has done a better job of adapting to the surrounding environment. I previously ordered delivery a few years ago. While the staff was super helpful and friendly, and even went above and beyond by delivering it to me 30 minutes after closure because Doordash made a huge error, I was disappointed with spending 40 bucks on a tiny portion. Because of the tiny portions and having the largest price tag in town, I hadnt eaten from there since that day. Thankfully I gave them another chance and dined in yesterday. I ordered a mushroom masala and garlic naan which came to $22.41 after tax and an 18 percent tip. It included free rice with the meal. I know myself and others pointed out Saffron Touch didnt include free rice or naan like Haveli, Shahi Pakwan, and Namaste do. I am happy to find out theyve joined the rest. Curry Pot are the only holdouts in town. The mushroom masala tasted really good. It isnt the biggest portion size like youd find at Haveli, but I never felt like I was short changed. There was also a free dessert too! Seeds mixed with tiny jelly beans which freshens your breath. No other place in Vernon gives this out at the end of the meal. The server was very friendly. We chatted a lot as it wasnt super busy. He also repeatedly came by to fill my water. Overall, I highly recommend this spot. There are so many excellent East Indian restaurants you need to try. Vernon has come a long way. Current Vernon East Indian Restaurant Rankings: 1) Haveli (I love the big venue. Most affordable lunch menu set. Biggest portions. Favourite menu options.) 2) Namaste (Indochinese dishes are awesome. Great pakora. Garlic naan included. I love the deep fried cauliflower dish.) 3) Shahi Pakwan (Best naan bread. Mushroom Do Piaza is great.) 4) Saffron Touch (Best customer service. Reliable. Consistent. Best free dessert dish.) 5) Curry Pot (The only one I dont recommend overall. However, my food tasted great.) Vegetarian options: Various masalas for vegans.

We went for dinner here the week of March 21, 2022. The décor is authentic, the space is clean, and the food was phenomenal. We were very impressed with the server through out the meal, ever attentive and engaging in conversation easily. Our portions were plenty and very flavorful. We eat a lot of Indian cuisine and know where the best spots are in the Central and North Okanagan. Saffron, in our opinion is one of the best and we will definitely become regulars.

Great food great service. Definitely my favorite Indian restaurant in Vernon! Started off with Indian Chai that warmed us right up. We got the lamb biryani which was spiced perfectly, the lamb was tender, and the rice was fluffy. Aloo ghobi was great as well with the potatoes having a crispiness underneath the yummy sauce. Palak paneer and butter chicken were delicious, as expected. Presentation and service were amazing. The server was available when we needed but not overbearing. The dishes look smaller than they are when they come out, but the bowls are deep. This was enough food for 4 and pricing was reasonable.

★★★★★
December 23, 2022

At the end of a long evening walk, this was the perfect meal! The Aloo Gobi and Butter Chicken were delicious with Saffron Rice, and the Vegetable Pakora was a great appetizer! The service was amazing, he was extremely friendly, and he took some satisfaction in placing the dishes on the table just so! All in all, an extremely pleasant experience, and I definitely plan to eat here again!

Food was alright nothing special, portion sizes are quite small for the price, as well as a quite different butter chicken taste that I m not use to having. Would not rank it best in town.

This is our favourite Indian restaurant in Vernon! All the dishes we have tried are incredibly tasty and the service is always impeccable...attentive and professional. I did notice that the dishes are a bit smaller in size (than usual) and may likely be geared towards individual portions. Overall, a wonderful Indian cuisine experience!

December 23, 2022

Disgusting food. Ordered Paneer tikka and paneer was uncooked and raw and just marination on top. Mushroom masala was too oily and felt it was old and no taste. Dont waste your money here and find a better restaurant to dine in

December 23, 2022

There was hair in my food and they would not return my money. Disgusting. Been a customer for years and will never return.

December 23, 2022

Yo these guys are awful and dont care about their customers AT ALL! I ordered from them and there was a very long hair in my food. I call and they refuse to give me my money back! This is sick! In this economy?! Im not paying for hair! Officially boycotting and telling everyone I know!

Went for lunch with my daughter on a snowy blustery day and were pleasantly surprised! Sam was a great server and the food was amazing! I had the lamb Rogan Josh and my daughter the Prawn curry, we also had samosas and Naan. All of it was perfect for the weather! Definitely will be going back for more!!

Incredibly friendly staff, clean restaurant, excellent food! A small group of us wrapped up a late night class and spontaneously popped in two minutes before closing and they happily accommodated us, not once making us feel like a burden or rushed in any way. Servings were generous and full of flavour. Indian chai was delicious. Will definitely be back again soon!

So delicious! Our party shared curries, naan, pakora, and rice. The service was amazing and I m surprised that there weren t more customers dining considering how good the food is. Everything was kept warm and it was so good I scraped the curry bowl! The server was hospitable and very conversational. I definitely will be back again

Not the best Indian food Ive had but it was good. Got the butter chicken with medium heat but the chicken chucks are quite large, samosas which seemed to only have potatoes in it and not much flavor and the garlic naan bread was the best part. We got take out and brought it home only to find there was no rice, I dont recall seeing rice on the menu and thought it would come with it, so I made my own rice and enjoyed the meal.

The. Best. Indian food in Vernon, hands down. Possibly the best Indian cuisine in the Okanagan. A pillar of downtown Vernon dining for years, it is still standing thru the pandemic and still making the most authentic and satisfying Indian and Tandoori around.

December 23, 2021

No rice, no naan bread delivered even when ordered additionally on-side. Left me with $38 worth curry and nothing to eat it with. Great job! Over-priced, poor service and cant say anything about the food cause its not delivered with anything to go with the curry.

Favourite Indian restaurant in town. Order a spice level down from what you expect, but plan for delicious food. Butter chicken is excellent. Fav dishes include vindaloo, navrattan korma, and jeera aloo. Best naan and pakora. Lots of options for vegans and vegetarians.

Service 2* Didnt answer the phone when I called twice. Called me back as I was browsing another restaurants menu, seemed like a good start, but I should have not bothered to answer. On pickup I asked how long our food would be, he offered to check with kitchen for a precise answer - this is handy as Im holding my 13mo in one arm. While were waiting for an answer, Uber comes in. He comes out of kitchen, ignores me, deals with Uber guy and starts tidying random things until I ask again. Im the only person in the place. Insincere attitude. Food 3* curry itself was good, rice was plentiful but marginal to terrible, naan was bland like it had been microwaved, pakoras were doughy and uninspired. Poppadom was worst my wife has had apparently! Pakoras looked like they came from superstore. Price 1* - thats subjective of course, but nearly 60$ (before tip) for the same order that cost us 45$ (and was better) elsewhere in Vernon.

Worst customer service! We experienced hard time with the server and assistant manager at this restaurant. They had two price for food. They billed us too much than what offered to us.

Disappointing! Has gone downhill in my opinion, portions were small, we ordered it mild ( my wife likes) so I asked for hot sauce, they charged me $6.85 for a little side of sauce, and as we were the only ones there, I commented, and server said, we are busy with take-outs. now only one Naan per order... we wont be going back. PS the dishes were already much hotter than a 2, so my wife wasnt happy either...

Terrible food and attitude chef. I ordered food around $160 and I asked from the server that, can I get some gravy for my biriyani as it was really dry and hot but tasteless and he rushed to the kitchen and I heard the chef saying Nothing for free here. Then the server came out and asked me to buy a portion if I want to get some gravy. Very disappointed as we already spent $160 at the restaurant and having an unpleasant experience. We went there to eat and have a good time but it ends up with terrible experience. Never go there any tells all my friends not to go there too. I wish this place close down sooner as his terrible attitude.

Went last night to pick up a takeaway order of coconut chicken, chicken korma, paneer pakora and chicken pakora. Before I get to the food here are a few thoughts. Wed been having Indian food recently from The Curry Pot across the street so I thought Id change it up a bit. I got there and the order wasnt ready so the guy rang it through and it came to just over $50 and that was before any tip! As I waited I took a menu and looked at the prices. $6.95 for the pakora and $12.95 for each of the curries. So quick calculation and that was $40 before tax. When I added the 5% tax it should have been $42. So I said to the guy and he gave me the prices subject to change without notice bit. Not impressed at all. I have never been to a restaurant where the price on the menu was so different from what I was charged. The pakora was now $10.95 each. Thats an increase of $4 each. I could understand if it had been maybe $1 or something but $4! I felt like asking the guy when the menus where printed and if the menus were so out of date why were they still using them. He wasnt even very apologetic. Now to the food. The curries were ok. We ordered a mild because we like flavour but not so hot. The curry pot mild is just right for our taste but this was just bland. There was a decent amount of sauce and chicken, but I honestly couldnt tell the difference between the korma and the coconut chicken. They looked and tasted the same :( The pakora wasnt crispy, and wasnt very tasty either. Sorry but I wont be going here again, back to the curry pot for us.

The service was extremely slow and it felt like ages ... we ordered at 410 and the food came at 5pm no kidding, we were the only table in the restaurant and we wanted to try the food and then order more if we like it as normal people do, but the second round of naan bread took half an hour to come and when told what is taking too long the server simply said we dont know how to order food in a restaurant and that we should have ordered it all together so the chef could have timed it better and now we just have to wait .. he was extremely argumentative and did not apologize at all.. the items like raita and pickle were taken away from the table WHILE we were still finishing up which was very rude I will never recommend this place.. No idea how they achieved all these good reviews but this place is a disaster in terms of customer service
