Given that it’s the spices that deliver the trademark Indian flavors that transport us to a foreign land, Saffron seems an apt moniker indeed. The moment you walk in, just breathing in that rich mix of curries tells you you’re in the right place. The kitchen delivers elevated versions of Indian staples—tandoori, tikki masala, vindaloo and the rest—along with a variety of breads and biryani, chutneys and mint lassis. And the lunch buffet lets you sample a little bit of everything—and there’s nothing wrong with that.
