Saffron Patch

Beautiful hidden place, food taste amazing and so authentic, service is 10 out of 10. We ordered appetizers, lentil soup, chicken and four main dishes, all cooked to perfection. The only reason I give four stars is because of the restroom, no warm water. The water was super cold to wash hand with.

I didn't even get a chance to eat the food and here is why. I was going there to have lunch with a former coworker at 2:30pm. I get to the restaurant before my former coworker. At the time I was the only person visible in the restaurant. I stayed by the sign that said "Please wait to be seatted". Another customer came in after me and noticed it was just us two. She asked if I've been served yet and I said no. Finally a server approached us. I was still waiting on my former coworker so I let the lady who came in after me go ahead. She placed an order she was going to pick up later then leaves. So its just me and the server inside the restaurant. 5 minutes later a cop shows up, says hello to me, asked if I called the police (which I didn't) then makes a b-line straight to the kitchen. He comes back to me moments later and asked me for my name and what brings me to the establishment. I tell him, he goes to talk to the server, then comes back to me to say "The kitchen is closed at the moment. They will reopen at 3pm". Cool. The business hours for the restaurant on a Sunday are from 12pm-8pm according to Google. Finally my former coworker shows up at around 2:45pm and we chat for a little bit before I suggested going somewhere else. We leave Saffron and I explained to her what happened and she wasn't pleased as well. It would have been nice to try the food but calling the cops on a black man who just wanted to eat at your establishment made me feel very uncomfortable. Now to be fair I don't know for fact if the server or someone else called the police there but the timing was too much of a coincidence for me. Even when my former coworker arrived we weren't offered a table or a menu. It could have been just one big misunderstanding. Maybe the cops went to the wrong place. I just know this experience won't bring me back there.

We tried the Saffron Patch for the first time today for lunch and we were blown away!!!! Authentic Indian food that is the best we’ve ever had!!!! It was absolutely delicious! They let you choose your desired spiciness on a scale from 1-5 and they really nailed it. The restaurant also has a very cool vibe to it. I’m so excited I found this place and can’t wait to go back! If you’re thinking about going here, DO IT!!! You won’t regret it!!

My coworkers and I were sat in a nice, accommodating room that was perfect for a relaxing meal after a long day! Service wasn’t rapid, but the food was worth the wait. On par with my other authentic Indian experiences. Would certainly come again!

Recently been to this place in Cleveland, the food was decent, the ambience was good and it was spacious... The Chicken Chettinad and Garlic Naan need to be improvised. The Chettinad didn't have the flavor as meant to be. The rice and dal makhani was good. The only disappointment was the service was slow had to wait nearly 30 mins to get the food once we placed our orders even though it wasn't too too busy. Will visit again

Looking at mostly 5 star reviews, I went to this place for what they say - Authentic Indian food...well, a completely disappointing place!!!...Not just once but twice. This time, I decided to leave my review. I travel across and a good food is hard to find indeed. Service is just ok...I ordered Pakora...well, it had no vegetable...but trace of spinach and may be, may be - some onion...and it was salty. Next, the main entré...woow...an example of how bad this can be cooked...totally bland..no spices, it was definitely not authentic. 😂 Yes, for those who hasn't tasted authentic Indian food, there is no way for them to differentiate this horrible food to other. Last time, I went with my friends...didn't impress any of us. By the way...the portion size is too small...just hardly have 6 to 7 spoons of main course and the rice that comes with it is little too....never seen a place that gives this little...for the $$$ price of items. It was not worth the price and mainly my time! My advice - I would opt to go to a different restaurant to try out and enjoy true flavour and true taste of Indian food.

I came for lunch and ordered Mango Chicken, paneer pakora and a chai. The price is absolutely worth it. The food was fragrant, flavorful and plentiful. Service was exceptional and the dining room is beautiful. I live Indian food and this is the best place I've found in the area so far. Highly recommend.

January 2023: After a fun time playing in the snow and sledding on the hills, the family wanted to get something to eat. We wanted Mexican or authentic Indian cuisines. We found Saffron Patch and decided to give them a try. From the parking lot, patrons are greeted with a fragrant aroma of mixed spices. Inside, we ordered the assorted platter, masala potato, a coke, 2 mango lassies, 3 garlic Naan, Mumbai mixed grill tandoori, chicken makhani, vegetable biryani, and lamb chops. Everything was simply okay, and I was not overly impressed. The lamb chops were overcooked and tasted somewhat plain (to theri credit, I neglected to put any sauce on it, which may have enhanced the flavor. The Naan was good, but I've had better. The chicken makhani was actually the highlight of the meal and had a nice spicy kick to it. My eyes overloaded our stomachs and we ended up with a lot of takeaway containers. For everything purchased, the bill came to $134 after taxes Pros: * Restaurant is cozy and appears to be clean. There was soft music playing in the background. * It was not overly busy for patrons who dined inside, but there were multiple takeout orders and doordash orders going. My estimate is that over 15 orders came through on takeout within 30 minutes. * Friendly, swift staff members who were very attentive to our needs. The food came out relatively quick, like 15 minutes after ordering Cons: * Food was okay, but not quite what I expected based on the aroma outside. * Parking was a challenge because the only parking was in the rear of the building with maybe a total of 15 spots available. * I asked if biryani came with the entrees, and they said "no," so I ordered some. I was surprised to see 2 large biryani rice bowls show up. I felt like I overordered food due to a misunderstanding of the portions and the meal packages Summary: I will return.

Stopped in and enjoyed a lovely meal with my husband. We both ordered the Mumbai Mixed Grille which came with Chicken, Shrimp, Seekh Kabob on a sizzling skillet with peppers, Tikka Masala and Rice. We also added an order of garlic naan. The flavors were very delicious and our meat was cooked just like we like it. The portion size was generous as well. Our server checked on us frequently and the ambiance was welcoming and inviting. Overall it was a very lovely meal and I would come back and order the same thing again!

We went here last night with some friends and it definitely satisfied my Indian food craving! My favorite dish is typically saag paneer, but because it wasn't on the menu, I ended up ordering the Palak paneer, which was really good! I ordered medium spice and honestly could have used a little more spice. Good to know for next time! My partner got the chicken tikka masala and we shared the vegetable pakodas. Both were super delicious!!! I also got to try some of the biryani my friend ordered and it was so good with quite a kick to it! The service was quick and the place was very clean and had chill/casual vibes. Most importantly, there was a TON of parking in the back. Overall would recommend and come back!

This has been my favorite local Indian restaurant for a decade or longer. My husband made a reservation for our 10 year anniversary last night, and I was so excited to get my all-time favorite- Lamb chops. I've tried them elsewhere, but no one has the right flavors. They are always seared perfectly and served on a bed of grilled peppers and onion, steaming. I always ask for them to be made "Indian spicy" because I know there is a different spice scale for those unfamiliar with the level of heat of some Indian dishes. What I was served was unseared, barely cooked lamb with little to no seasoning AT ALL, and raw vegetables. Completely raw vegetables. My husband commented that the vegetables were uncooked and there wasn't the typical sizzle and "hot plate" warning. He put a lot of effort into making our evening special, so I didn't say anything to the server, but this as bordering on gross. I politely ate two chops and asked for the rest to go. The servers typically would package food up, but he just tossed a box on the table. I know that is an extra that we enjoyed there, but there was a very noticeable change in the atmosphere. It kinda felt like a fast food restaurant. I just now grilled the vegetables, seasoned the lamb (I unfortunately don't know what combination the USED to use), and seared them for a much better lunch than my anniversary dinner. This is so sad! What happened since the move? Why has quality plummeted? Why didn't the server say anything when he saw raw food come from the kitchen? I'll note also, as a finally snub, we weren't asked if we would like another drink or dessert. They just wanted us out, I guess.

I was in town and went to the Saffron Patch for the second time. It had been a couple of years since my last visit. However, I knew that, like last time, I would be getting the chicken saag because I'd really enjoyed it previously. This restaurant is quaint, and there is parking behind the shopping center it's in. We went about an hour before closing. We knew what we wanted so we were able to order quickly. We split the masala potatoes which were like flat french fries that had a tasty dipping sauce. I was happy to note the chicken saag, once again, didn't disappoint. I would give them four stars except that we felt very rushed starting about 30 minutes out from closing. I get starting to prepare to shut things down in the background, but chairs going up on tables on either side of you while you're eating is a bit much. Hopefully it was just a one off experience. The food, however, was good! If I lived in Cleveland, I could definitely see it being a frequent to go order location. I would still go back again on a visit.

Very disappointing. Spent $16 each for three different curries(Kashmiri potatoes, malai kofta, shahi paneer) and you guys used the exact same sauce for all three and the sauce was some bland green mush that was completely inedible. Most Indian restaurants that tend to use the same sauce for all their gravies at least use a more palatable orange tikka masala. I have no clue what this bland green mush was. This was the worst Indian food experience in Cleveland by a long shot, made worse by the non trivial prices.

Solid Indian food nestled in Northern Ohio! I can definitely see myself stopping by or ordering from here in the future when I'm craving Indian cuisine. I had been hearing many great things about Saffron Patch for quite a while, so I had relatively lofty expectations coming into the restaurant. As a result, I was pleasantly surprised when these expectations were more or less met (at least with regards to what I ordered!). In terms of the food itself: I highly recommend the Maharaja Mix Grill. Both the seafood and the meat were cooked extremely well, and the flavors worked well together. I asked for the second highest level of spice, and it turned out to be strong but not overpowering. The portion size was more than adequate (seafood included), and with rice and naan on the side I was able to take some home as well. One of my friends ordered the Palak Paneer, and unfortunately he wasn't as complimentary. He mentioned that the portion size was small, only having a few cubes of paneer with the rest composed of sauce. I was able to try a small bite and the taste was definitely there, but I can't speak to his experiences otherwise. With regards to the service: My interactions with the staff were very positive - our waiter was knowledgeable about the menu and was more than willing to give recommendations on specific dishes. He was attentive to our water refills but didn't hover. No complaints here. Overall, I had a positive experience with Saffron Patch. I can't feel justified giving this place five stars just yet because my friend didn't have the greatest experience with his dish, but I would definitely consider coming back.

This place was a recommendation of my coworker, who married into an Indian family. And let me tell you, it did NOT disappoint! The food was fresh and flavorful and came over in a timely manner. The two people working (they're still short staffed from COVID) we're friendly and attentive. We tried the vegetable samosas which were crispy on the outside and stuffed on the inside. For an entree we did chicken makhani which is creamy and my new go to, then lamb vindaloo. We also got a few naans and you can't go wrong. Will come back anytime I am in town!

There carry out is excellent, good size portions. You never have to wait for your order it's ready when I arrive no matter how large the order. Not like so many places after covet. The food is still good, tastes like the old location. It's a bit dark, I miss the light that the former location carried. I also miss the buffet. And the spoon of fennel as I exit. The service is dry not very friendly. Would get better tips if they visited your table more often. The powder room limits one of your best customers that I know of for sure from dining in. Despite all of this. I still give 4s. Good Indian food reasonable prices.

Since we moved in last August we have ordered from this restaurant countless times. We then started to have issues with the staff, no sauce was with our order of papadum and the list goes on. The last straw was disappointing, they forgot to pack our chair tea we paid $9 for. The fact that not even Starbucks charges this much for tea is insane to me. We won't be back anytime soon, and we will look for a better establishment to support

Quick Review: The service was really nice and the environment was comfortable and homey. The food quantity was small and the taste was nothing unique. However, it did taste and feel very authentic. Long Review: I came into Saffron Patch with extremely high expectations as I heard it was one of the best Indian restaurants in the area. Multiple people had recommended it to me and I love Indian food. During the first interaction with the staff, everyone seemed very nice and they were very accommodating to our party of 5. We went at 7:20 which was not too crowded and they seated us immediately as we arrived. The manager brought our waters and was the one that led us to our table and he was very friendly and made sure that everyone was comfortable. The waiter was also very kind giving us recommendations on the menu and making sure to check in for water or extra rice. Now in terms of the food, I was underwhelmed. We each ordered individual dishes. I had the Palak Paneer and my friends ordered dishes such as Chicken Makhani and Chicken Tikka Masala. The dish was small which I was accustomed to but there were only 6 cubes of paneer (yes, I counted). The rest was just sauce! I was very disappointed. The taste was nothing exceptional for my specific dish. However, the other dishes that I tried tasted very authentic but still had small quantities. I think the rice may have been my favorite. And it is unlimited!!!! The best dish that I tried was the Maharaja Mix Grill (picture included). That had excellent taste and the quantity was worth the price. I would highly recommend this dish if you like assorted meats and seafood prepared in an Indian style. To finish this review, I only wish the taste and quantity of my specific dish was better. One thing I was really happy with was that the manager came and brought on the house rice pudding! Tasted amazing. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Great food. We attended a party that catered from saffron patch and the food was immensely satisfying and delicious!! Owner was extremely friendly and forthcoming as well!! Would love to go again next time we are in Cleveland!!

The chicken tikka masala was my only complaint as the chicken was very dry. I loved the garlic naan and the palak paneers, they gave lots of paneer and it was very flavorful. The naan has always been my favorite since I was a child.

Another first for me, though I've known about them forever. They had me at "tandoori oven". It was good and I noticed the freshness. (A place in Buffalo, NY still comes to my memory as "wow" but because that was when I visited India. Can't wait to come back and try the masala tea. Hope it is authentic. I have not had it since India. Nice space. Oh, the chai tini was nice (glad I walked) and the complimentary rice pudding had a nice texture and just enough sweetness

Located on chagrin hidden amongst An urgent care and various businesses is this gem. Honestly some of the best Indian food I've had in Cleveland still to date. I always order to go food or Ubereats. They appear to have a nice dining room to eat in though Ive never seen anyone occupying the seats . I will say since 2020 both quality and quantity have went down. I always order my favorites. Baigan bharta, allo gobi, kachumber salad and roti. The Baigan bharta constantly has inedible cardamom pods inside still, not a pleasure to bite into at all. Kachumber salad is always refreshing in between bites of spice. Allo gobi is super delish along with a roti to scoop up the yumminess. The level of spice here always varies I like super spicy I could say make it bland then it comes out spicy vice versa. Not consistent at all. I hope to see this restaurant improve after the downfall of 2020 as I'm sure staffing causes some issues.

An absolute gem. There's a wide range of Indian restaurants in Cleveland. Many are good, but Saffron Patch is likely the best. They offer tons of clearly-marked options to satisfy both meat eaters and vegans. And the food is actually spicy (I usually stick with a 3/5 spice level)--they're not pulling any punches just because they're in Ohio. I've always had fantastic service here, both when dining in and carrying out. I haven't taken advantage of their full bar yet, but it's great to know that it's available. The only issues I've ever encountered involve ordering. You can't choose a spice level or add a note through the usual delivery apps, so I've had to call after placing an order through the app to make sure they get my preference. Also, their chicken korma is my go to, but it's not on the menu or in the apps. Still, it's always been a pleasant and easy experience ordering via phone.

Saffron Patch has been a 'go-to' for years and years. Cuisine is very good, especially their samosas, which I'd happily make a meal exclusively of.

I ordered the Chicken Vindaloo very hot which arrived steamy with a bowl of rice to dole out along with some garlicly parsley covered Naan bread. Could not recommend it enough. I love it hot, I said challenge me, make me regret it when I ordered and they delivered, I loved it! I lived in England 14 months and had a lot of different Indian food and I can tell you you don't have to go that far this place is great just across from the Van Aken District to the south.

How to Cheat Americans and others who haven't tried Indian food ? Visit this place. WORST Restaurant that i ever tried in USA. 1. No matter what you ask for. The so called "biryani" is a mix of some green peas gravy and white rice +chicken/lamb/lobster. Total waste of money. Youtube is better. Look at the pictures by yourself. 2. The food serving plates and the ambiance is a plus which deceives people . 3. Tandoori Shrimp - DO you even know to cook any food ? . Crap.

I have been a Saffron Patch patron for nearly 15 years, going back to their old location. But recently the quality has declined. With my latest takeout order, the chicken in my chicken tikka masala was dry and tough, not tender. Worse, the green chutney looked like it was days old. Rather than bright green, it was a brownish green. And strangely, my rice came in a Chapati Indian Grill container. I didn't order from Chapati, a fast food Indian restaurant down by CSU. I ordered from Saffron Patch. On the flip side, my wife's vegetable dishes were quite tasty and the pakoras were very good.

We ordered food from Saffron patch a few weeks back and had a mixed experience. Appetizers were below average. The tandoori chicken I got had a foul smell and the seekh kebabs were dry . The curries were fine and are the only thing that can be tried.

The service here is impeccable and their facility is so clean. They have such a modern take on age old Indian classics and everything I have ever eaten here has been prepared so well it rivals any great Indian restaurant I've ever been blessed to dine at around ohio and even different parts of the country. Get their salmon Tikka or chili chicken or butter chicken. All absolutely fantastic! I love this place and even when I cannot make it in, I door dash their food and its just as good delivered!

I held a large gathering in their hall and the service overall was very poor. The music did not play for more than 5 minutes at a time. The food was being taken away to serve the restaurant side and not refilled in time. Food was subpar and there were dishes that were empty. The salad had only onions in it. The tables were not cleaned and the water jugs at each were never refilled. I would never book this hall in the future.when the manager was informed he did not fix the problem

Delicious food and great place! The place is very nice and modern looking. It's clean and pleasing to the eye. The food was delicious! We got samosas and they came with a sweet sauce and a green sauce that was slightly spicy, and they were delicious, my daughter loved the green sauce. We also got garlic naan and that was great! For our meals we got the Maharaja Biryani and the Salmon Tikka. The biryani was slightly spicy and had great flavor. The chicken and shrimp were good but the lamb was perfect. It was very tender and sooooo good! The salmon tikka was amazing! It came sizzling on a super hot sauce plate and had a nice crust and great flavor. The yogurt sauce it comes with was great too. Would 100% recommend! Definitely come here.

The Saffron Patch was located downstairs in a business building. It's very unassuming. We went for lunch and were quickly seated and offered the $10 buffet. That's what we all got so I can't speak for anything else on the menu. It was causal and quick food. Some of the dishes were spicy and had good flavor and reasonable quality for Indian food.

I order from here A LOT. They definitely have the best vegetarian options of all the Indian restaurants in Cuyahoga/Summit County area. I usually get the vegetable korma, onion kulcha, and samosas. It's all delicious. One note- there are too many lima beans in the vegetable korma. If I could change one thing, it would be the overwhelming number of lima beans. My suggest is to add more cauliflower maybe? I also love dining in at this restaurant. The staff is super friendly. I love the sauces that are served with the complimentary papadam at the beginning of the meal. Anyway, keep up the good work and think about what I said about the lima beans!

When your in any restaurant and the percentage of people who come from that food's native land - it's a great testament to the authenticity. Saffron Patch clients when I was there last night were mostly from India - young families, groups of friends, etc. The food? Delicious, hot, fresh. We had the appetizer platter- which would make a great meal option. Then we shared a tandoori chicken and a lamb dish (mokta?). Both excellent. The service was friendly and efficient. Over all a great experience.

The Saffron Patch is just like others have described; a little hard to locate, friendly staff, and average food. My GPS took me to an entrance right behind a gas station, you can follow this up around and down so that you can park in spaces by the first floor where the restaurant is located. Or you can park in a parking deck and just walk down some stairs once inside. The restaurant is clean and tidy, but not much in terms of decor. Restrooms are located outside the restaurant in the main hall area. We had a young man wait on us and I thought he was friendly and attentive, I never had to call him over for anything. And while he seemed a little nervous he was pleasant. For food I got the Chicken Tikka Masala with spice level 1. This was pretty bland compared to other places I have been to. Just because a dish does not have heat, does not mean that it should lack flavor as well. Portion size wise, I would say you could eat this all in one sitting, do not expect to have leftovers unless you got appetizers with your meal. My date got the Lamb Biyani with a spice level of 3. This was a much bigger portion and you could definitely tell it had a kick to it. A side of Garlic Naan was nothing special. Overall, It was okay, I probably would not go back, but that is because I live closer to India Garden and Namaste which I really enjoy.

We went there to celebrate and the place was fantastic in quality of food and service. The upgrades are nice as well. Will go back again

I got assorted platter, chicken tikka and lamb korma. It was okay. There was definitely some flavors but they were not distinctive enough for me to say this restaurant is different from other Indian restaurant. The lamb needed more work since I could smell it. However, they did excellent job making their food spicy to the level you wanted

Wow! I could not understand when I saw such a low rating for this place! I bought a Groupon for this place back in early 2020 and they extended its use through to the end of the year! We had the naan, vegetable samosas, baby eggplant dish and mixed vegetable dish between my wife and I! It was so delicious! Vegetables and sauces were fresh and definitely homemade! The flavors were out of this world! The seasonings were point on! I've only had authentic Indian cuisine this good only once before and we've probably been to a dozen Indian restaurants over the years! Definitely will return! Prices were great and we had a wonderful table up by the front large windows with the Christmas lights in view! Great date night! Beautiful music and quiet and soft ambience! Our waiter was very kind, soft spoken and very attentive, too!

Saffron Patch is probably my most-ordered meal. They have great COVID measures in place, and it is always a quick in and out when I go to pick up my meal. The servings are HUGE and will last you a few days (unless you are reaaaallly hungry)!! I recommend the chicken tikka masala. Best I have ever had! The employees are friendly and make it an easy process to order!

So happy to have tried saffron patch again. I haven't been there for years and I think either my tastes have changed or they have gotten much better because it is some of the best Indian food I've had in Cleveland. Plus the atmosphere is chill and the wait staff is really nice. I hope to go back often. (Spice level three was perfect for us. Hot but not too too hot.)

My favorite Indian Cuisine!! Always a pleasurable meal, great service, friendly attentive staff and a nice ambiance. The food is a always good never have I been dissatisfied. I'm always happy here!

We went for a buffet to Saffron Patch west ( North Olmsted) yesterday June 12th, and the food served in the buffet was COLD. The joint opens at 11.30 am we got there at 12.30 pm but the food was not hot, some lame excuse that they forgot to turn on the WARMER. what a joke. The food was stale, from the Previous day' s Buffet and the couple of servers were RUDE , one who acted as the Manager, and the girl at the counter were very rude. Also the guy who owns this joint is extremely RUDE &CONDESCENDING, no manners as to how to talk to a Lady. They had the nerve to VIDEO TAPE when we were there at this joint, as to how many hours we were there,( I wish I could sue THOSE a-------. PeopLe reading this review please DONOT GO to this joint, food for Buffet was horrible stale and cold.( this is how they run these joints) and cheat Customers. HOPE THIS JOINT GOES OUT OF BUSINESS VERY SOON!!!

Bad customer service and they took forever to make the food that was my last time for this place

This is our place for Indian food. Amazing authentic indian food. Good and fast service. Sizable portions. big menu for vegetarians and even vegan. My favorites are Samosas, Lamb Seekh Kabob, Malai Kofta, Paneer Pakoda is also very good and don't forget the Naan!!

This restaurant was very well ranked on the meal delivery app but less so on Yelp. I should've known better. It was all very AVERAGE. The food arrived as ordered. The portions were on the small side for the price but adequate. In general, I was very underwhelmed by the flavor profile. The samosa was dry and the mint chutney seemed to be artificially colored. The Saag was overcooked and fairly bland tasting. The Daal tasted like lentils out of a can without much additional flavor or savoriness. The bhindi masala was probably the highlight that tasted fresher and with more flavor. You know when you're getting excited about the bhindi that a place isn't living up to expectations. And I did not go to the restaurant because of COVID so perhaps the ambiance helps overcome these issues.

First time trying Indian food. Yes yes, I know. I'm such a "foodie" yet I hadn't tried actual Indian cuisine until this weekend. We went on a Friday night and were immediately seated. We ordered an appetizer platter and garlic naan to start us off. Amazing! The flavors were just so strong and spicy and over-the-moon tasty. I ordered the mango chicken. It's basically a mango-infused curry sauce on big cubes of juicy, white meat chicken with a side of saffron rice. This dish alone is worth going back for. My other half got the lamb korma. The flavor was smokier and had more spice. Another amazing dish. The service was top notch, and the wait for all of our food was very short. They are on top of making sure their customers get the ultimate experience, and for that, I'm grateful. We even had leftovers for the next day. I will definitely be hitting up Saffron Patch again. Worth the drive from downtown Cleveland.

We have been going to saffron patch almost 20 years. Although we miss the old location and the lunch buffet, the food quality always has been spectacular, and their takeout during the pandemic was a saving grace. Food always seems to taste better there, given it comes out piping hot, but I don't think we've ever had a bad meal there. Thank you for being a Shaker establishment!

First time trying... not as easy to find but it is a great surprise.. very calm and comfortable environments $13 dollars all-you-can-eat... cannot ask for too much.. food is ok.. could be better if , for example, the rice is warmer and not too dry in blocs together ..

This place is such a hidden gem. My husband and I have stopped in for the lunch buffet a few times and I've never left disappointed. Despite the odd exterior and it being tucked away inside of what seems to be an office building, the inside is actually very classy looking. White table cloths and modern-ish chairs take it up a notch. Their food is bomb. I love their Chicken Curry and Vindaloo. The Naan was fresh and at the price, you really can't beat this lunch buffet. I often end up going back to work satisfied and ready for a nap. Service for the buffet is prompt, but we'll have to go back again for the regular menu to see how that goes. Love this place.

Love the food! Never had anything we didn't like here. I like that I can go big with some lamb chops if I want to indulge or if I'm trying to spend less I can go all vegetarian; either way great flavors and experience.

Saffron patch catered an event for my residency program. We ordered naan, rice, and three entrees for 30 people. First and foremost, working with the manager and the staff was wonderful. Each person we interacted with did a fantastic job of accommodating our needs, and the staff also helped us carry food out to my car, which was extremely helpful. The manager even allowed us to order shrimp vindaloo, which isn't even on the menu. Moving on to the food itself, all of the dishes we ordered were absolutely delicious, and the quantities were enormous. About half of the food was left over by the end of the night, and I guarantee it will all be eaten by the end of the week. The shrimp vindaloo was spicy and flavorful, the chick pea dish we ordered was rich and well seasoned, and the rice and naan were well cooked and perfectly accompanied the other dishes (I don't eat meat, so I can't comment on the mango chicken dish, though it seemed to be quite a hit as well!) I will absolutely recommend saffron patch for catering for events, and I am delighted with the experience we had. I hope the next batch of food is as good as this one!

My boyfriend & I have been here twice now. Once for take out, and this evening we dined in for dinner. The food is good, it's probably a little overpriced. The atmosphere is not so great as the prices go......all the tables are just sort of sandwiches in a room. Which makes it noisy. I was dissatisfied that the server added gratuity for a two top. They tipped themselves 21.5%..... the service is probably more in the tune of 15%. I assume he does this because people using a Groupon may tip after the discount? That's not fair, I understand. If the service was better, maybe he would not have to. I think this restaurant will have to be more competitive once the Van Aiken district is up and running. I assume their staple customers will be there. We most likely will not.

I don't understand how this place doesn't have a higher rating. I've ordered take out from here twice and it is exceptional!! It is a little pricey but it will feed at least two people, or more with sides/appetizers. I always get the chicken tikka masala, naan, and vegetable samosas. The chicken is always good quality. The samosas are cooked to perfection, and the naan is just the right chewiness. Seriously cannot get enough of this place! I recommend 10/10.

My friend and I were visiting Cleveland for Labor Day weekend and we wanted to escape the raccous noise in Van Aken Market Hall, so we thought that we'd give Saffron Patch a try. Boy, were we ever glad we did!! The food was off the hook! We shared the assorted appetizers and each had the Mandreas Sambar soup--a traditional lentil soup with loads of yummy veggies. Every single thing was truly delicious, and the service was warm and lovely. It wound up being the least expensive and best meal of our 3 day visit ! Don't miss this gem!

The Saffron Patch is an easy place for myself and colleagues from work to grab lunch quickly when we don't have a lot of time for lunch. It's a very convenient location for us that's less than a five minute drive from our office - their location is on the South side of Chagrin right before Warrensville Center in an office tower right behind the Howard Hanna Real Estate Office. The food is always fine, as is the service, not we generally get the buffet meaning that I've never experienced what the kitchen can really do. In fairness, I need to go and order off the menu then write again. Until then, I'll stick with 3 stars for a reasonable lunch buffet.

Absolutely great Indian food, I wasn't expecting quality food from a buffet but they below my mind. So glad to have been recommended to trying this place out. I have recommended this place to multiple people already! We love! Just the right amount of spice is what I rate them!

I've never been treated as poorly as at Saffron Patch on my last visit. After many years of frequenting the place, I haven't gone back in 3 months, and don't expect to return, and made sure my friends don't either. While there have always been issues with getting the right order, and getting it in a timely manner, they used to at least be pleasant and apologetic, and fix the issue. This last time it was an insulting and disrespectful level of customer service.
