SAFFIRE

Great new place. Opened only a couple of months ago so they're ironing out the details. Service is good but a little slow because they're overwhelmed. Everyone is very engaged in ensuring your experience is a good one. Very busy place for Saturday late afternoon. Food is excellent and reasonably priced. Our new favorite Indian restaurant. Will be back.

I couldn’t resist trying out this brand-new Indian restaurant in our neighborhood after hearing about it. I’m so glad I did! The service was quick, polite, and friendly, which is usually the vibe you get from a family-owned establishment that makes you feel like you’re part of the family. The atmosphere was clean and not tacky. Now, let’s talk about the main reason you’d come here: the food! It was unbelievably good! We were a party of three and didn’t order much, but everything we did order was delicious. First up, we had the momo. I thought I was ordering traditional Nepali meat dumplings, but I was pleasantly surprised by what they were. They were garnished with red kidney beans, diced onions, and a garlic yogurt drizzle, all sitting on a layer of mint oil. Next, we had the jumbo shrimp. It was served sizzling on a hot platter, and you don’t get to see much of this at other Indian restaurants. The flavors were great overall and went well with the continued tandoori vibe with the hot plate creating the smokiness over the food. Now, let’s talk about the star of the show: the chicken tikka masala. It was creamy, the sauce paired perfectly with the succulent tandoori chicken and dried fenugreek leaves. It wasn’t overly sweet, which is a plus in my book. To go along with the tikka masala sauce, we had the chicken yakhni pulav. It was a perfect comfort chicken and rice dish. I would replace it with the standard halal chicken rice dish any day. Finally, we had dessert of a flaky pastry sitting atop sweet mango mousse with a sweet and tangy mango chutney. Can I kiss the chef now? Haha I was very impressed with the food.

Excellent food with great hospitality…All the servers and staff were amazing…Highly recommend this place..Must visit again soon..,

We went to try Saffire tonight with friends. We are We're very excited to have an Indian restaurant in the neighborhood. They have a very eclectic menu, including a lot of vegetarian and vegan choices and fusion choices like Nepalese momo dumplings and Hakka Chinese-Indian food. We were greeted warmly. Service was sweet and attentive. We shared a few appetizers, shrimp in a spicy tamarind sauce and a chicken wrap which was unlike anything I'd had before. We had chicken tandoori trio, saag with chicken and vindaloo. We also had garlic naan and paratha. Everything was delicious and flavorful. They have non south Asian dishes, if you have people in your family who don't like Indian food. They also have a full liquor license. We're looking forward to returning soon.

Absolutely gorgeous restaurant, staff is very kind and helpful especially the young boy with the curly hair he’s amazing, owners are fantastic and warm. And the food will take you to heaven. A MUST VISIT!

We went in Sunday for our anniversary with friends and the food was outstanding! Everything the waitress recommended was on point. The wait staff was attentive and we enjoyed our meal. We can not wait to go back.

Wonderful restaurant with amazing food and service!!! Jasmine and her husband Chani are full of hospitality and ensure your experience is best in class, warm and friendly demeanor and just a pleasure to talk with. The food always has amazing presentation and full of flavor and freshness. This is a definite must try if you like Indian cuisine, you won’t be disappointed. Thanks to the entire staff for always making my dining experience here so awesome!!!! Oh and I loveeee that they have cans of soda upon request, soda drinkers all know the awesomeness of having a fresh can of soda lol!!! Wishing you all the best and we will certainly be supporting you guys all the way as loyal customers!!!

First time there. First time (for me) at an Indian restaurant. It’s rare for me to go to any of the cookie cutter restaurants on Long Island (any place that has fried calamari listed as an appetizer) and have it check all the boxes. I honestly can’t say enough about Saffire here, there’s just not enough space. Absolutely superb experience, top to bottom. My wife and I are already planning our next visit.

Just had an outstanding dinner at this brand new restaurant last night. The food was really delicious and all of the staff were really friendly and welcoming. We will be back many times!

We went with friends tonight to try this new Indian restaurant which opened a few weeks ago at the site of the former Il Toscano. We were excited to see an Indian restaurant in the neighborhood, since we usually have to travel for this cuisine. The space is very pretty and roomy and we were greeted warmly. There is also a very nice patio area for outdoor dining. We shared a few appetizers, shrimp in a spicy tamarind sauce and a delicious chicken wrap. I had the tandoori chicken trio, my husband had chicken vindaloo and our friends had chicken saag, with spinach. We also had Naan and paratha. Everything was delicious, flavorful and nice portions. They have fusion dishes, include some Nepalese apps and Hakka Chinese-Indian food, which I'm looking forward to trying when we go back. Service was very sweet and attentive. . They have a full liquor license too. Definitely a nice addition to the neighborhood. They have a few non South Asian dishes too, so if you have a group where some people don't like Indian food, there are choices for them.

We have been here twice and each time everything was delicious. Appetizers that we have ordered include Samosa Trio and Paani Puri. Main courses were Lamb Biryani, Chicken Korma, Duck Breast and Seekh Kebab. The drinks are very good too. I ordered a Tito's with mango purée in club soda. It was both delicious and refreshing. My husband loves spicy food in the owner was kind enough to give him one of his hot peppers to try. There is no doubt that once my hubby makes his hot sauce, he will bring some for them to sample. We live close by and there is no doubt that we'll be a regular customer.

This is a new Indian restaurant in Commack which is amazing and has authentic dishes. We had the samosas to start which were delicious. We were a large group and were able to try many dishes which all tasted perfect. The service was impeccable and the ambiance was nice too. We will be going back again and we highly recommend it.

New restaurant in Commack, great location and atmosphere and look forward to watching it grow. The service was excellent, very attentive and good with making recommendations. We ordered the samosa trio and papi puri along with chicken korma and their titular Saffire Fire curry. All food was delicious and great portions, will definitely continue to return as this part of Suffolk is sorely lacking in this type of food!

Tried this new South Asian spot on a whim, and it was wonderful! The food was exceptional -- we loved the cauliflower appetizer, samosas, tikka masala, and garlic naan. The service was also excellent. Nikki took great care of us and made us feel so welcome from the moment we stepped through the doors. Saffire is such a fantastic addition to Commack and I can't wait to go again!

I'll start by saying this review is purely about the service since I was unable to try the food. Stopped in yesterday to try the Buffet since that gives exposure to more dishes then just ordering an entree and considering prices are roughly 10 dollars higher then other spots in the area I wanted the most bang for my buck. We were told that there was a fire test and that while food wasn't displayed we could still order the Buffet and they would bring us the food. We were seated and promptly ignored for 10 minutes. The one Waiter working 3 tables focused solely on one and never even glanced our way so we decided to leave. The Waiter saw us walk out and said nothing and we saw there was even another Waiter at the Bar playing on her phone. Host was nowhere to be found so we just walked out. Unfortunately with their high prices I won't be back because I can't imagine being happy paying more with the current level of service. To sum it up: High Prices + Bad Service = Not going to be around long in this area.

Great lunch buffet with a wide variety of food--lamb curry, butter chicken, saag paneer, naan, rice, and some other dishes. It's served fresh to your table. It's all you can eat but I can't imagine needing more than one round since there's so much food. The ambiance is very classy but relaxed. Great service, food, and atmosphere.
