A neighbourhood gem, Café Saffron serves traditional, hearty Indian food.

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
