Saffron Indian Cuisine - Burnaby

We had a special occassion on a Monday evening and tried La Brasserie since we were disappointed on our first visit. We had last gone on a Friday evening and the food was luke warm but on this MOnday evening, everything sparkled. The duck appy was yummy and the wine is marked up only 200% featuring a great pairing with their food. My partner had the pate served with crispy toast. My main of rotisserie chicken was moist and flavourful. The frites were hot and crispy. Perhaps this is a great place to go when it is not so busy!

We gave Saffron Indian Cuisine 5 stars in the past, but after our visit in May, 2011 we noticed some points of concern and gave it 3 stars, now after our most recent visit (July, 2012) Saffron has improved a lot and are at least a 4 star restaurant again. Their food quality at their buffet is great and the service very good. In order to receive 5 stars I would like to see improved cleanliness (the carpets are visibly soiled).

We went for the buffet and were extremely happy with the variety and tastiness of each dish.  As well,we got an order to go for another party and they also enjoyed the food as much as we did. Highly recommenced!

Sending out of town guest away and we picked Saffron for dinner since she said she walked by this place before and wanted to check it out. We ordered the Chai tea and Mango Lassi and they are both tasty. I ordered the Saffron Thali because I wanted to try a few different things (it comes with dessert too) while my friend got the butter chicken (safest choice since she's not had Indian cuisine before). They have really big portion so we ended up packing half of the butter chicken back home. Overall the food was not bad.

Just love the samosas and vegetable pakodas of this placeThat dishes have a flavour of India in themPresentation of the food is really really good and everyone will like it's vegetarian friendliness!!!
