Saffron Touch Indian Cuisine - Vernon

The best Beef and Lamb biriyani you could ever get in Okanagan region without a doubt.

Amazing butter chicken, saffron rice, and garlic naan. Great service and a large variety of dishes to try with vegetarian options available. You can customize the spice level with every dish. I loved the environment and I would come here again.

Had the Lamb Korma with some friends last night and the food and service was amazing from Sam!! Thanks we will definitely be back again!!

This was the 89th eatery I visited in Vernon.This was my first time dining in at Saffron Touch.Along with Curry Pot, Saffron Touch is one of the original East Indian restaurants here in town.Saffron Touch has done a better job of adapting to the surrounding environment.I previously ordered delivery a few years ago. While the staff was super helpful and friendly, and even went above and beyond by delivering it to me 30 minutes after closure because Doordash made a huge error, I was disappointed with spending 40 bucks on a tiny portion.Because of the tiny portions and having the largest price tag in town, I hadn't eaten from there since that day.Thankfully I gave them another chance and dined in yesterday.I ordered a mushroom masala and garlic naan which came to $22.41 after tax and an 18 percent tip. It included free rice with the meal.I know myself and others pointed out Saffron Touch didn't include free rice or naan like Haveli, Shahi Pakwan, and Namaste do. I am happy to find out they've joined the rest.Curry Pot are the only holdouts in town.The mushroom masala tasted really good. It isn't the biggest portion size like you'd find at Haveli, but I never felt like I was short changed.There was also a free dessert too! Seeds mixed with tiny jelly beans which freshens your breath. No other place in Vernon gives this out at the end of the meal.The server was very friendly. We chatted a lot as it wasn't super busy. He also repeatedly came by to fill my water.Overall, I highly recommend this spot.There are so many excellent East Indian restaurants you need to try. Vernon has come a long way.Current Vernon East Indian Restaurant Rankings:1) Haveli (I love the big venue. Most affordable lunch menu set. Biggest portions. Favourite menu options.)2) Namaste (Indochinese dishes are awesome. Great pakora. Garlic naan included. I love the deep fried cauliflower dish.)3) Shahi Pakwan (Best naan bread. Mushroom Do Piaza is great.)4) Saffron Touch (Best customer service. Reliable. Consistent. Best free dessert dish.)5) Curry Pot (The only one I don't recommend overall. However, my food tasted great.)Vegetarian options: Various masalas for vegans.

Good customer service each time I'm there as a friendly environment puts me in a good mood. That's why I love to eat there a lot
