Saffron On Kelletts - Melbourne

Best indian food in Australia with out a doubt, been to saffron on kellets many times always provided with great service and outstanding indian dishes. It says something when your 13 year old says i want to go to saffron for my birthday this past Monday 11/12/17 and we live over 30mins from saffron and pass many good indian restaurants. A big shout out to Jess for making our night absolutely special great service and Jess even remembered what the kids had for dessert the previous time. If you love your indian spice and flavours vist this place it will not disappoint.

Wow, pleasantly surprised! Looking forward to trying more dishes. <br/ <br/ SERVICE: 4/5<br/ Great hospitality and very helpful. Every customer seemed happy with their service. They seemed organised and had a good rhythm. Only 1 or 2 front house staff while we there over dinner service but they handled everything seamlessly.<br/ <br/ FOOD: 4/5<br/ I'll be honest and say I wasn't expecting anything great. I was just wanting to try somewhere different and after reading a few google zomato reviews, this seemed one of the better options. Upon arriving, it seemed a lot more modern and even westernised (didn't expect that). I expected the food to match, meaning toned down a little to suite a wider palette. <br/ <br/ Chicken Biriyani One of the better ones I've had, and I've had a fair few! Oddly, I could tell as soon as I saw the rice grains, that they put love into this dish. They have used premium long grain rice here and the curry had plenty of time to cook right through. They were also generous with the amount and size of the chicken pieces. With the thick and tasty raita, it was a standout dish.<br/ <br/ Lamb Rogan Josh The lamb was so well cooked, it was tender and full of flavour from the gravy. Was very impressed by the balance of masala and also meat:gravy ratio, generous! <br/ <br/ Tandoori Chicken This one was average. Have had much better but also worse as well. The flavour was missing from inside but rather only on the outer. The chicken was on the dryer side than I prefer. Possibly just a once off as all other dishes were far better.<br/ <br/ Plain naan bread was perfect! So fresh and couldn't have been happier mopping up all the gravy along with the tasty thick raita...yum!<br/ <br/ DECOR AMBIENCE: 3.5/5<br/ It has a small dining area, enough for a handful of dinner dates and one larger group. It used darker tones including the lighting to create a more sophisticated setting than a casual family vibe. As you walk in, the front counter is a shared space that doubles up as the bar where drinks are prepared. I'm not a drinker, but the alcohol display looked more upmarket than your standard bottle of Crown Lager. <br/ <br/ KID FRIENDLY: Not recommended, limited space and the setting is more intimate than family friendly. FYI, they have just the one booster chair.

Best curries! Great service. Would recommend saffron in Kellets to anyone. The take away family pack is great value and delicious! Always friendly staff when you go in too

Excellent service and food. Great range of veggies dishes most of which can be made gluten free and vegan. Very accommodating to our various dietary needs. We eat here regularly.

Great quality food! No reflux, no heartburn, no upset stomach, no aftertaste, no regrets at all. Spices are well balanced, portions are decent size. Everything was just right to our taste. The chef must have a magic touch plus a good sense of  food. Highly recommend to all lovers of Indian.
