This was my first time at Saffron. I happened to be downtown and decided their lunch buffet might be a good idea for my first time.
The restaurant is very nice and modern with an upbeat decor. A bit smaller than I had imagined, but...certainly very clean.
After being seated, I toured the buffet. It was a fairly small buffet compared to others in the area (Rajput, Nawab & the now closed India Palace). Only a few 'main' dishes and sides. The food was delicious, everything I tried was cooked perfectly and very good.
The only negative I felt was that the service was annoyingly slow & rather cold. Not really a smile or greeting, just 1 seemingly rushed waiter only handling two or three tables. We were well into the meal before the Naan was delivered at the table. Drink refills were slow.
I plan on going again for dinner perhaps and seeing how the full menu is. The food was delicious, but my first impression was only average - mostly for the meager buffet and unfriendly service.More
