Loved the experience of dining here. Staff was super friendly. They were so cordial. Food was amazing. We ordered Paneer Makhni, Malai Kofta, Garlic Naan, Tandoori Roti and Plain Naan. Everything was super tasty. Rice is complimentary with any curry. Onions were served on the side at no extra cost! In the end, the owner was super nice to let us try some of his homemade gulab jamuns! To be honest, we were traveling a long journey so we were tired and took a quick pit stop at this place and we were totally pleased with their hospitality. We got back all our energy to drive again. Would definitely recommend and would also love to come back again!

This place is one of my favorite spots for Indian cuisine! Five stars on every aspect! Food quality is excellent and the portions are very generous! Prices are very fair for what you get and there is yet to try an item on the menu that has disappointed. This spot is perfect for a date night, family night or even going solo. The restaurant is very nicely decorated with a nice dim lighting. Very well put together with relaxing vibes. Looking for a cocktail or beer? This is the spot! The bartender (Dan) can fix you up a delicious drink or if you are a beer type of person, I recommend the Taj Mahal. Plenty of parking and the staff is very friendly! Oh one last thing, if you know someone that is all tough and can handle crazy spicy, they have a spicy challenge. I personally haven't tried it as I usually get my food "very spicy"(which is not the most spicy option) and you better believe Im . I know my limits so don't think I'll be trying the challenge anytime soon, just thought I should share that little info.

I enjoyed the curry challenge . If you like spicy give it a try! It was the perfect spice level for me. My wife enjoyed her sag aloo. Delicious! Thank you! We will be back!

First time back to this Indian restaurant in almost 10 years and they are even more incredible than I remember. Everyone is super friendly and the service is pretty quick. I feel confident that anything on their menu is going to be fantastic but special shout out to their vegan/ vegetarian options being as flavorful as they are. Took my two friends here for their first time and they were amazed by how good it was. We each got different drinks: ginger lemonade, strawberry lassi, and masala chai. I still have no idea which drink I loved the most because they were all so good. We all got our own dinner combination plates which come on these metal trays that are so fun. Ended with rice pudding (got two but could have been fine with one). Only “complaint” would be their outdated table signs promoting their desserts for 4 when they are actually 6. Not a huge deal at all and was the only price discrepancy. We told the server but they already knew and said it’s old. Other than that, this place is so worth your while as you eat insanely good food while Bollywood films play on a projector.

I highly recommend Saffron Indian Cuisine & Bar to anyone visiting LA. The hospitality from Uncle and Aunty is exceptional, and the Punjabi food is freshly prepared and authentic. We particularly recommend their freshly made strawberry lassi, Amritsari paratha, garlic naan, dal makhani, malai kofta, and the incredible gulab jamun. Even my picky kids loved and thoroughly enjoyed the food!

With a name like Saffron, the most exotic spice in the world, this Indian establishment lives up to its credibility as a provider of excellent fare, considerate service and an interior decor that really welcomes one to the beauty of the culture. Arriving at lunch time, a friend and I were granted a wonderful seating arrangement next to the windows with a misty white, but still pleasant, cool atmosphere outside. The pleasant aroma of exotic spices was detected upon first entering and the restaurant was richly decorated with curtains and artwork that reflected India's fascinating culture and history. Our host was a wonderful lady who was very observant to make sure our dining utensils were clean and suitable for customers. Water was graciously provided at required intervals by a gentleman (assuming to be either a co-host or one of the cooks when available to assist). The menu had a great selection, including lunch specials that included a little of many available, plus a wonderful custom mix of choosing a curry (mild, medium, or very spicy) with a second choice of solids including chicken, lamb, and even paneer cheese, plus a few varieties of rice such as saffron, per the restaurant's name. Everything was fresh and hot upon arrival, and it made hasty dining almost a necessity so food wouldn't become cold, but everything tasted so good and it brought ecstasy to this one's heart. Almost nothing was left over by the time my companion and I were finished, and we departed with a feeling of perfect satisfaction and gratitude to the business for their most excellent service. I thank our hosts and the kitchen staff for their gracious performance in providing such wonderful fare and a dining experience that I hope this review will provide them with many more customers. I wish Saffron the best of success in business, prosperity and the pleasant satisfaction unto the staff for their enjoyable service, onwards and upwards.
