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."
