PARKING-First of all, the Restaurant has free parking in front of the restaurant. FYI there is parking but the stalls are a bit narrow, for midsize to larger vehicles. There is wheelchair access via the parking lot.
RESV- Made resv. for Fri., 1/17/25, 4pm, via phone the night before.
ARRIVAL/CK-IN RECEPTION-We arrived @3:56pm. 3 young ladies greeted us at check-in reception desk. We gave our names and was promptly seated.
SEATING-Sat in the larger dining area in a comfortable upholstered bench seat style booth table by a window @ 4pm.
AMBIANCE-It was a warmly lit, appointed and designed restaurant with beautiful artwork scattered throughout the dining room areas against the walls. Since we had decided on an early seating, it was a very quiet dining room with about 4 other parties on our side of the restaurant. The restaurant also has further seating on the other side of the reception desk area with tables and upholstered booth tables along the bank of windows. Lovely touches of elegance with warm colors and furnishings.
FIRST IMPRESSIONS- It was not our 1st time dining here, so was familiar with the restaurant. Friendly, Welcoming, Nice Ambiance. Nicely Appointed, Clean & Tidy.
TABLE SVC-The table we sat at, had a lovely folded napkin on top of a saucer, nice touch!
Also a jar of Patak's Mango Pickles and a bottle of Matouk's Flambeau Sauce. There was a small rectangle glass and metal votive candle casting a nice low light, setting a Romantic mood for our Anniversary Dinner. A. Silvana, our waitress came right away and was friendly & genuinely helpful.She gave us water and I asked for lemon so she brought 4 slices right away.
FOOD ORDER-We ordered, a Coca Cola- $5.99, the Beef Samosas off of the appetizer menu $9.00+$1.00 for Beef, Butter Chicken Masala-$21.99+$4.00 for Chicken, Paneer Tikka Masala-$21.99+$2.00 for Paneer Cheese and Garlic Naan-$6.99. Total Bill came to: $81.57+ Tip.
FOOD RECVD-First was the Beef Samosas. It came nice and hot, with two crispy triangular shaped pastries filled with spiced ground beef on top of a bed of chopped cabbage and herbs, along with a sweet dark sauce accompanied with a lovely fresh green herbed sauce. Nice bright flavor of the green sauce balanced so nicely with the dark sweet sauce and the subtly spiced ground beef filled crispy pastry. Always a delight and always consistent in all of our visits! Samosas-*5 Stars! Next up was the warm, fluffy, spiced Basmati Rice which comes with all of the main dish choices. There are some that would say "It's only rice", but it is something that I give some thought to rating in every restaurant offering. It was perfectly fluffy! It was perfectly seasoned, not too much just enough that the flavor of the rice itself comes through nicely! Basmati Rice-*5 Stars! Next was Garlic Naan. We normally order the Plain Naan, but decided to try the Garlic Naan. Warm, Fresh, Nicely seasoned with Herbs, Butter, Garlic. Perfect balance of seasonings! Garlic Naan-*5-Star!
Next was the ever-popular and most revered item on their menu according to many, many reviewers! It was as it always has been, perfectly cooked bites of chicken thigh meat with lovely, creamy, buttery, sauce that just elevates a simple protein! There is definitely a talent making the sauce just so perfectly seasoned, perfectly creamy and perfectly balanced flavors, AND perfectly executed and cooked! We have dined at roughly 15 different Indian restaurants over the years, searching for the most perfect Butter Chicken, one of our fav dishes, but have found only ONE PLACE that meets and exceeds our expectations every single time, Saffron Grill! Butter Chicken Masala-*5 Stars! Best of the Best! (Just wish there was more chicken, lol!)
TBL SVC-*5 STARS! A. Silvana checked up on us regularly at nice intervals. Also, a manager also checked in with us twice. Nice!
We will be back thanks A. Silvana, and Manager, and staff! OVERALL RATING-5 STARS!!
