Well we must have ordered just about everything off the menu at Saffron! I can certainly say we ate a variety of dishes both at the restaurant and as take away over the coming days. Our dine in bill was $90 after the discount and includes drinks while the takeaway order was $72 for the 5 dishes, so it works out to excellent value, especially with the discount. The dishes are consistent, generous in serving, contain ample proteins which are perfectly cooked, and are all immersed in a flavoursome curry. I really enjoyed the chef’s platter amongst our entrees, and it’s hard to go past the butter chicken. The curries are generally on the mild side but each dish does have a “heat” indication and some dishes have a little bite but nothing that will blow your head off. However, while the dishes were delicious and certainly not lacking in flavour, some of the dishes were not representative of the what flavours the dish should represent, such as the tandoori chicken and biryani. A dinner at Saffron’s will not disappoint. The setting is smart and modern and you will receive excellent service, generous servings with excellent flavours. I certainly enjoyed my meal there and the take away food as well. . . . → Read More: Saffron Indian Restaurant – 13 May 2013
One of the few Indian restaurants I’ve been to where the pricing of dishes is very reasonable. For some reason, Indian restaurants price their dishes more towards the upper end of what I’d expect and I don’t believe they can justify their pricing. However, at Spicy Affair, the well priced dishes deliver more than decent servings, containing a good amount of protein in their dishes with plenty of thickish, creamy curries carrying lots of flavours which are very mild. I didn’t notice any dishes containing any chilli hit of note so if you can’t tolerate the heat, then I’m sure you’ll enjoy the food served here. I like mixed platters which are a great way to start a meal off with a variety of offerings. Right from the start, the individual components were tasty and flavoursome, although, the Seekh kebab needs a little bit of work. The curries that followed were excellent. I particularly enjoyed the goat curry which was fantastic and I love butter chicken and was not let down by Spicy Affair’s specialty dish which was superb. The herb influenced Goan fish curry presents a different contrast while the vegetarian Malai kofta was something different. The naans were thick, soft, and filling and required along with rice, to mop up the delicious, thickish, creamy curries. While the curries are very consistent in terms of their consistency and texture, one may criticise the lack of variety in that all of the curries are very creamy despite carrying different flavours. I guess this is their style and if this isn’t what you’re after then you might not like it. But for me, Spicy Affair present excellent flavours at excellent prices, great value dishes that didn’t skimp on protein or their servings. I think this restaurant would shoot to the top of the best Indian restaurants in Perth in my opinion. It might not have the flashy interior, but they deliver on taste which is ultimately what people come to a restaurant for. . . . → Read More: Spicy Affair – 26 Jan 2013
For most of the night, we were served by a nice friendly, quiet spoken, humble guy. There are certain aspects that could be improved upon to lift the overall dining experience of the restaurant but we enjoyed the food we ate which was tasty. I particularly enjoyed the lamb palak and plain naan and rice. The platter needs more items added or the price dropped. If you’re in the mood for Indian, it’s worth dropping by though I’d favour the take away option. By now I’ve probably stopped sweating. Cash only, BYO, no corkage charge, and “medium” heat is quite pungent. . . . → Read More: Mother India – 20 May 2012
Yes it’s a food court but like Thali, it doesn’t mean that they can’t deliver on taste. I loved the butter chicken which was delicious but the lamb korma wasn’t to the same level of tastiness but still enjoyable. The aloo paratha lacked seasoning in terms of salt but was good otherwise. The raitha is more on the sour side and is not to my taste. There is good range of menu options and curries available, both meat and vegetable, so you shouldn’t be limited for choice and they are well priced. The flavours are very good so I don’t think you would be disappointed in terms of grabbing a meal from a food court. Cash only. . . . → Read More: Curry Munchers – 7 Mar 2012
I certainly enjoyed my meal. The entrees were a great start. The platter or tasting plate, contained a generous collection of mini eats and was great value. The chicken Tikka Malai had lovely flavours and this carried on in the mains via the butter chicken and lamb saag. I have had better butter chicken but this version was solid. I enjoyed the breads and the generous servings, relaxed setting and friendly service is a place that you wouldn’t hesitate for multiple visits. Great value and well priced. . . . → Read More: Indian Garden Restaurant – 4 Mar 2012
A nice selection of foods which were quite tasty with good flavours. The naans, mint chutney and goat curry were standouts. The place made for a great venue for holding such a function. The wide selection of food for the price that it was catered for the private event was quite reasonable. . . . → Read More: Agni Fine Cuisine
Stepping off the MRT and arriving in Little India, the area looks like any other part of Singapore. As you delve deeper you find it’s very large, much larger than Kuala Lumpur. In the food court which is open air but undercover, you’re confronted by a . . . → Read More: Singapore – Little India
The food is very representative of India and is a must visit. The food is very simple and really cheap, but cheap does not mean it’s not tasty. The Indian breads are delicious and our meals were lovely and made for a nice breakfast. There’s a large menu selection and an array of sweets to take away and enjoy later. . . . → Read More: Malaysia – Kuala Lumpur – Masala Chat
I really loved the breads which are the best I’ve eaten at an Indian restaurant, particularly, the paneer kulcha. I could have kept eating only that all night long. The platter for 2 was also excellent but the mains were disappointing and lacked a lot of flavour. Indian food is such that it is cooked in spices to impart flavour, but can be mild, spicy or chilli hot. Our mains were mild but contained little flavour. . . . → Read More: The Punjab
Delicious authentic Indian food at excellent prices. Try the butter chicken which is a standout. For me, the best Indian food I’ve had so far. . . . → Read More: Thali Contemporary Indian
