9.5/10Love 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

10/10My 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.

Spice Things Up.We love when we discover a restaurant that feels like a local secret. That's just the case with Café Saffron in Ivanhoe. A neighbourhood gem, Café Saffron serves traditional, hearty Indian food. There's nothing garish or overstated about this place; it's all about simple food that speaks for itself.Whether we're in the mood for something mild or we want to rev things up with a hit of hot spice, Café Saffron offers plenty of choices. So what do the regulars love? The lamb dishes deserve a mention, as well as the spinach curry with paneer. Pair that curry with some saffron or basmati rice and garlic naan and you're in for a treat. Could Café Saffron in Ivanhoe become your new local favourite? We think there's a good chance. And we love that Cafe Saffron offers takeaway for those nights when we'd rather cosy up on the couch for dinner. Best dish: Spinach and paneer curry
