Every bite was packed with flavor, but their "spicy" is not spicy its comparable to other restaurants medium. The butter roti was dripping with butter, and very good. The Aloo Mutter was good, not as much sauce which was a bummer. Nothing was notable about the service or atmosphere, just average.

Great little place with fantastic food. They took care of our every need. We had the saffron biryani and were blown away. We live in a state where good Indian cuisine is widely available and were more than surprised at how great the food was. Can’t recommend highly enough.

I was lucky enough to be the first order of the tikka masala pasta and it was amazing! I also had the privilege of meeting the owner and he was extremely kind. I will absolutely be going back for the pasta very soon! (The rest of their menu is also amazing!)

Great food with friendly service and a clean, relaxed atmosphere. Good bread, aloo Gobi, tikka masala, fried rice, and noodles. Reasonable prices.

I had an incredible experience at this Indian restaurant. The food is absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and authentically prepared. Every dish tasted like it was made with care, from the appetizers to the mains. What truly sets this place apart is the owner. Their hospitality is unmatched warm, welcoming, and genuinely passionate about making every guest feel valued. You can tell they truly care about the quality of the food and the overall experience. It’s rare to find a restaurant where both the cuisine and the service exceed expectations, but this place delivers on every level. Highly recommended for anyone who loves great Indian food and exceptional service. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Saffron Restaurant in Marlborough is truly a treasure! From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed with warmth and genuine hospitality. The food is nothing short of exceptional—authentic Indian flavors, perfectly balanced spices, and dishes that feel like they were made with love. Every bite reminded us why this place stands out from the rest. A huge shout-out to Kalpesh Patel (owner) who is truly a gem of a person. His passion for delivering top-quality, authentic Indian cuisine shines through in every aspect of the dining experience. We made a good friend in Marlborough for lifetime out of this experience. And a special mention to Vishal, the manager—what an amazing member of the team! He took care of us so attentively and made us feel completely at home. His professionalism and kindness added so much to our visit. If you’re looking for incredible food and outstanding service, Saffron Restaurant is the place to be. Highly recommended!

First time here and we were VERY impressed. The biryani and chole were both incredible dishes, packed with flavor and cooked perfectly. The servers were kind and helpful. The owner, Kalpesh, was just as kind and welcoming. He asked us what we like and gave us thoughtful suggestions that ended up being spot on. Amazing food and great people. We will definitely be back!

I’ve been to Saffron many times and it has been consistently excellent. Dine in or take out, the food is second to none. The service when you’re there is the perfect balance of feeling pampered but right at home at the same time. Tonight I tried a new dish - tikka masala pasta. This was the fusion meal that I never imagined I wanted this much! The flavors were amazing and the pasta was perfect to hold the gravy so that every bite was a treat. My only regret is that I couldn’t eat all of it in one sitting. But now I have enough to hold me over until I’m back in a day two to have this again!
