Saffron Indian Cuisine Cary

We came in on a Thursday night and wanted to check it out, it completely blew us away! We tried the lamb pepper fry appetizer, chole bhature, and the chili garlic noodles with chicken. The lamb was so tender, the chole was so soft and fluffy, and the chili garlic noodles hit the spot. The portion sizes were huge and the taste was so flavorful and spicy! We will 100% be back here :) also AJ was a great server and was incredibly attentive!

I typically prefer south Indian restaurants but this restaurant really impressed me with the quality and quantity of food. I think a lot of Indian places give smaller portion sizes which usually turns me off to this but I was really surprised at the amount of food we got. For appetizer we got a pepper fry dish, the meat was on top with paratha on the bottom. The paratha was still pretty crispy despite having the meat sauce on top still. Overall they went together very well. The chole bhature was probably one of my favorites I've had. I know this dish is usually big but I was still surprised at the size of the bhature we received. The bhature was very soft, thicker than South Indian poori and very chewy. I loved eating it and will definitely order it again. Not pictured here but my girlf

Experienced my first Indian flavors at Saffron Indian Cuisine in Carry, NC, the coziest spot, along with delicious dishes. The food was impeccable! Every dish was delicious, but what elevated the entire experience was the warm and friendly service. The staff are genuinely attentive but not overbearing, and the atmosphere is relaxed. The lamb galouti was rich, juicy, smoky, and perfectly spiced. Dahi Bhalle Chaat was a refreshing burst of flavors and texture. The Chole Bhature was well-cooked: the chole was rich, tangy, and perfectly seasoned, while the bhature was light and golden crispy on the outside. Daal Bukhara was a rich, creamy, and well-balanced dish. However, the Naan was soft and fluffy, not quite like traditional North Indian naan. Moong dal halwa was aromatic and melt-in-the-

Today I ordered Moong Dal Halwa along with other items. It was priced at $9 per plate, but the portion size was extremely small—roughly about two teaspoons per order. In terms of taste and quality, it was average at best. Even after reheating, it felt dry on the sides and noticeably low on ghee compared to how Moong Dal Halwa is typically prepared elsewhere. For comparison, visiting places like Naan House makes the difference in both portion size and richness quite clear. I don’t mind paying a premium, but the pricing should align better with quantity and quality.

My husband and I shared a delicious meal here. We’ve eaten at many Indian restaurants and I thought the Aloo Gobi (potato and cauliflower curry) was the best I’ve ever had. We both ate plenty and there was still extra to bring home. The day we went, most of the other customers were Indian, dressed in native dress and not speaking English. To me that say’s the style and tastes must be quite authentic. We’d enjoy going back again.
