Saffron Indian Restaurant

Authentic North Indian Vegetarian Cuisine

Reviews"Excellent. Simply divine. I give it a two-thumbs up."~ Narcy David (KCBS Food and Wine Connosieur)

"Once inside, visitor's nostrils are immediately assailed with the aromas of complex spices and the eyes are soothed by high-

quality culinary art produced by Sunita Desai ~ New York Times, 2006

"Saffron is turning out the best Indian food in Times Square. Despite being a new establishment, its menu offers items to satisfy a

variety of audiences and though the dishes may be common, such an exquisite taste cannot be found anywhere else."

~ Fine Dining in New York, 2006

"Saffron's exquisite decor and rich, spice-laden dishes serve as warm, pleasant reminders of India for satisfied diners. "~ Bakulbhai Popatwala, 2006 (Restaurant Connosieur)
