Used to be my favorite Indian place. The curry was so thick and flavorful, but something changed recently. We stopped by this weekend and the meat was still good but the sauce is more loose/watery. Curry is still pretty good overall but used to be amazing. I’ll go back again and update if any better.

This place offers a decent, casual dining experience in the heart of Orinda’s downtown plaza. The atmosphere is relaxed, with a straightforward setup, which is perfect for a laid-back meal. The customer service was pleasant, with several staff members attending to our table, ensuring that we had what we needed.
However, the food didn’t quite hit the mark. The tandoori chicken was a bit underwhelming, lacking the bold, smoky flavor one might expect (seems like someone forgot to marinate it for at least six hours prior to serving). Similarly, the garlic naan was somewhat plain and didn’t stand out. The mixed meat platter, while generous enough for two to share, was also average in terms of flavor having a deep fried chicken?!?
As for the drinks, I was disappointed by the over-sweetened Old Fashioned, which felt more like a sugary cocktail than the classic it was supposed to be.
Overall, it’s a nice spot with friendly service and a good location, but the food and drinks left something to be desired.

I went here for Lunch with my friend and after having the food I was so surprised that there was know one else there! The food made me crave it the next day!! It was so delicious and fresh! We had the butter chicken and the garlic naan was so yummy I wanted to keep dipping my naan in the sauce even though I was full!! Yum!! Everyone should try it! 5 stars!!

Eaten there many times after a movie. Outside dining (dog friendly) in fair weather. We’re both in our 80’s and portions are large and tasty. Always have lassi. Nice staff, family run.

So glad we have Saffron here in Orinda! Over the years it has become our go-to spot for takeout on those lazy nights when we don’t feel like cooking. At this point we don’t even discuss it–takeout means Saffron. The food is consistently excellent, portions are generous, and the service is always friendly. On top of that, it’s such a nice touch that the guys who work there recognize me and my husband at the gym across the street and always say hello. What more could you ask for from a local restaurant?

We went here for our holiday dinner. The ambience was cozy and I loved the high booths for great privacy. The staff was helpful with answering questions. We ordered Chicken tikka sizzler, chicken korma, dal makhani and Shaba special naan. You can ask for the spice level you are comfortable with. We went with median for the chicken korma and my daughter who has low spice threshold loved it. We asked for the dal makhani to be spicy. Although it was not as spicy as I am used to still it satiated for the cold night. Will come again for my daughter for sure.

Love this place. We went there and had naan , keswari naan, aloo gobi and paneer bhurji. Loved every dishes , especially the kheswari naan, highly recommended. Also their spice level is really good. I do not like spicy food and they made a mild version, which is really mild in spice. Also the food came hot and fresh. Nice restaurant.
Update: I have taken away one star from them as they messed up with the delivery. They gave us stale food when we ordered the food from uber eats.

One of the best flavors of Indian spices I had in SFO. The staff are very polite and concerned about how you feel about the food. I had lamb biryani, coconut soup, I would definitely recommend anybody who is craving for that Indian taste. This is the place. A must visit.

Went to celebrate a friend’s birthday tonight. Walked in and got seated immediately as there was plenty room, it was very nice and the booths were high. Unfortunately I didn’t bring enough cash with me to order Naan but I got a Caesar salad without chicken, my son got Mac & cheese. I would’ve liked to order Indian food given the location, but short on funds so that’s on me. The prices were decent for the area and my friend ordered Butter chicken and an extra side of rice as well as a Mango Lassi.
Really my only complaint is that all of the food took forever to come out. I got a Caesar but it took so long to get it, my son got Mac & cheese and my friend had nearly finished his whole meal before the Mac & cheese arrived at the table. I DO appreciate that they kept us in the loop for it being delayed, but man it took a while. All of the employees were very nice and refilled our waters regularly. Also I think on the website the Caesar is listed as vegetarian bur Caesar by definition is not vegetarian as the dressing has anchovies in it.
