Service takes a moment to get going, but once they engage, they do a fantastic job. Be patient in the summer/busy months and you will be rewarded. Authentic Indian flavors, fresh ingredients, scratch cooking. Everything we have tried has been spot on.

This was the first time I tried Saffron. I highly recommend eating there. The service was great. The waitperson was so friendly and helpful. The atmosphere very peaceful. But mostly the food was DELICIOUS! The portions were perfect sized. Not too much food and not too little. Beautiful plate presentation as well. Lots of parking too.
Thank you!!

EXCELLENT service. Delicious food. Fresh with exciting flavors. The beet salad was delicious. Adding some interesting greens rather than just iceberg lettuce would make it tastier and prettier! We shared three dishes. Just right for two. It’s a new favorite!

Saffron is always a fabulous experience. Thank you for helping the Limelight Condo fire victims by providing a free meal. It was heartfelt and much appreciated.

We always enjoy Saffron and have encouraged many friends to try it. The food is flavorful. Decent wine selection and the staff is always welcoming. We prefer to go with no more than four people, however, because if it's busy the hard surfaces make it kind of noisy and hard to hear conversations in a larger group.

We were greeted warmly upon arriving. The service was wonderful and the food delicious! They had a nice selection of wine as well. We will definitely go back again! A small point: i had a question about how they got the ginger sliced so thin, and the chef came out to tell me. Nice.

We were blown away by the food - have never had Indian fusion and it was a revelation! The mushroom risotto was a flavor explosion and the kulcha was delicious. Portions were very ample for sharing, We ordered 2 small plates and 1 large. We could have skipped one of the small plates as we took food home, but each dish was delicious. I would suggest providing 2 naans in an order - they are too good!

Food was very good as was the service. Unfortunately, our original server misunderstood what we'd ordered and brought the wrong main dish. We kept that dish which was very good, but it would have been nice if we had we been offered some sort of gesture of compensation. Our original server was on a break by the time our main course was brought to us. Nevertheless we enjoyed ur evening at Saffron and will definitely return.

This was our second time eating here; the food is a wonderful, modern take on traditional Indian cuisine. The deconstructed samosas are to die for, their naan is exceptional, especially the cheese and jalapeno, and the butter chicken is superb. The pork vindaloo strays too far from traditional, and the presentation leaves much to be desired. Service is slow, but the food is really good.

Excellent experience with delicious food and a very attentive and good server. A bit overpriced, but hey, it is Sun Valley!

Our waitress was delightful and patient in answering our questions. The room was comfortable but lacked atmosphere and didn't feel especially "Indian." A highlight was the decomposed samosa and the naan. The small plates seemed a better value than our large plate. This was our first visit to Saffron, we would consider returning and trying more of the small plates.

Well done food but not enough staff for how busy they were. Could have explained menu options more as well. But very good food

We enjoyed our meal at Saffron but there were two issues. One, we asked for our meal to have medium chilli and we weren’t sure if there was any in our meal at all. Two, we ordered three entrees which each came with three pieces. We were a party of three so it didn’t matter but most tables would be four.

The food takes a long time to get to your table
Don’t go if you have somewhere to be after
