Love everything except portion seems very small compared to similar restaurants I've been to. Services and food taste great. I would have hope for my dish to be more spicy as I have asked for extra spicy

This is our favourite Indian restaurant. The menu is comprehensive and the food and service are always reliably good. We especially love their tandoori dishes.

The personal attention that the manager paid to us and asked us multiple time how the food and the experience was, was much appreciated. The food was amazing as always.

Best Indian restaurant by a long margin. The hospitality, the food and the ambiance never disappoints. Must try if in Melbourne looking for great authentic Indian food.

The food was great, the service also great Don’t mean go be negative but restaurant very very noisy… it was Saturday night so probably busiest night of the week, wouldn’t go on a Saturday night again… maybe midweek….

My family and I LOVE Saffron. Last night, I was there with a friend and she and her family also LOVE Saffron. A couple of years ago she moved a couple of suburbs away, meaning that Saffron is a bit far to go for the regular visits she used to make, so when we decided to go out for dinner after seeing a movie her first thought was Saffron. Thank goodness Saffron was what we chose because it was a fantastic night. The food was amazing (we shared the malai kofta and the murgh chabar with two garlic naan and South Indian lemon rice), the service was attentive, the restaurant was about 3/4 full so the atmosphere was lively, and the price was great ($77 for all that food plus drinks). There is nothing I would change about my experience at Saffron - an opinion I knew going in that I would have coming out, because I've never had a bad experience at Saffron. Saffron is easily Ivanhoe's best restaurant and probably the best Indian restaurant for many kilometers in any direction. Thank goodness I've got some leftovers from last night so I can partially relive the experience with today's lunch. Will be going back again and again.
