Saffron Indian Restaurant Bar - Orinda

My experience at the SAFFRON Indian Restaurant Bar was nothing short of extraordinary.Right from the moment we stepped in, we were welcomed by the friendly staff who were eager to ensure we had a memorable dining experience. The rich and elegant decor, with its warm hues and tasteful Indian artefacts, sets an authentic ambience, perfect for an intimate dinner or a celebration with friends.The menu was extensive, offering a range of dishes from various regions of India, each described in a way that made selection an exciting exploration of its own. We were pleased to find both vegetarian and non vegetarian options, along with a variety of vegan and gluten free dishes.We started our meal with samosas and paneer tikka both dishes were superb, filled with flavor, and beautifully presented. For the main course, we had the butter chicken and lamb biryani. The butter chicken was creamy and rich, with the right balance of sweetness and spice. The lamb in the biryani was tender and the rice fragrant, both expertly spiced.But it was the dessert that stole the show the gulab jamun was soft, sweet, and served warm, making for a perfect end to our meal.The bar also deserves special mention. The cocktail menu is creative, with drinks inspired by Indian flavors. We tried the Mango Lassi Martini and it was a delightful fusion of traditional taste with a modern twist.Overall, the SAFFRON Indian Restaurant Bar provides an excellent combination of rich, authentic Indian cuisine with a modern, stylish setting. It is not just a meal, but a complete sensory journey that I highly recommend to any food lover looking for a unique and satisfying dining experience. The prices are reasonable for the quality and portions you receive, making it a must visit location for anyone who loves Indian cuisine or is keen to try it.Looking forward to my next visit already!
