   The food and wine pairing was fantastic! My only “complaint” is that the tall table chairs were so tall and I was literally too short to get on it :-D

   What an amazing experience. For hours afterward, we kept saying to each other, "My god, that food was SO good." Definitely the most thoughtful, beautiful expression of Indian cuisine we've ever encountered. Looking forward to returning many times.

   First time here. Had Heard great reviews about everything related to this restaurant. The food was delicious! We just had appetizers and small plate type items but everyone of them were delicious. We sat outside on the river and it was a great night. I will definitely return. The vibe on the inside was upbeat and fun and it’s also a beautiful space. Highly recommend!

    When we sat down we were immediately told about the maximum time we could stay which was not a very good way to greet new customers. The drinks were very weak in fact my friend had the Negroni drink and said it almost had no alcohol

    Saffron’s food is awesome! We tried several dishes and enjoyed all of them. We had a really sweet server who gave us good recommendations. Our only complaint is that it’s pretty pricey. My paneer dish was amazing, but there were only 4 pieces of paneer for $24.

    Overall, the food and ambiance was good and we had a great time! The only items none of us were fond of were the hummus (had better at many other places) and the desserts were just okay; wouldn’t get them again. Our friend who ordered the lamb shank had wished he ordered something else and claimed our meals were better after taking a bite to try them. Our entrees and small plates were all great otherwise and so were the drinks! I really loved the eggplant in the mezze platter and the garlic naan was amazing. I would definitely come back and try other dishes.

    Had dinner with a friend. Service was good, as was the food. Couple of things—our table was quite small and the food came all At once and literally didn’t fit on the table. I’d recommend they course out the food to slow the pace a bit (and fit the table). Also the wine list was very limited would be great to have more and thoughtful choices. I’ll definitely go back. Great to have an Indian restaurant downtown.

    Arrived at 5:00 (only time we could get) for a table of 5. Were seated in far back by the kitchen, but still nice ambience. Ordered drinks. I got the Garden Gimlet, which was fantastic. Drinks came quickly. Next ordered the Samosa Sampler and Fried Cauliflower - both very good and also came out quickly. Ordered our entrees: Salmon, Saffron Butter Chicken, Lamb, Ghar Ki Gobi, and ? with sides of garlic naan. All delicious with extra to take home for the salmon and butter chicken. Ordered the Taj Mahal IPA as gimlet too sweet with butter chicken - excellent complement to the entree. Everyone enjoyed their entrees, the ambience and service and would come back. Only complaint from the group was not enough rice served with entrees.

    Great ambience. The “fusion” Indian food was outstanding. The best and most innovative Indian food in Mikwaukee area. The lamb meat entree is a must have for all goat meat fans to get a one of a kind experience. Service was average. Waitress forgot some orders. Loved the cocktails. The dessert (the gulab jamun) would have much better off hot than serving it cold. Will definitely come back again.

    Amazing food. The butter chicken was incredible and so was the garlic naan. The somosas were very good as well. We sat outside which was a lot of fun. Loved sitting near the river. I think the waitress could have done a better job at introducing herself (she never told us she was our waitress) and she started cleaning the table before we got up, so we felt a little rushed. She definitely could have been new to her job. Overall, great food!

    Food was superb and our waitress was very knowledgeable and helpful in choosing different plates. I do think it was a bit pricey and wish the main dishes came with bread as opposed to $7 for naan. We had a table for 3 at lunch and quickly went through 2 orders of naan (and $14 for bread is a bit outrageous if you ask me!). Our total bill for 3 people (5 small plates, 1 main dish, 2 orders of naan, 1 dessert, 4 alcoholic drinks and a chai) was $205, not including tip, so it was a VERY pricey lunch. As stated prior, the food was amazing, and I will return, but at the price point, it won't bee too often. I think if the drinks were $12, naan was maybe $4, and each dish was a couple of dollars less, it wouldn't seem so steep.
