Keralan Rice Bowl was excellent. Cumin rice is very tasty and gives you a craving to have more. Chilli Chicken has a nice spicy flavor. Masala fries is a must have.
Above all the service was excellent. The hostess explained the menu and gave recommendations based on what I was looking for.

The food is amazing and very continent to carry. Big fan of themeatballs, bbq cottage cheese, and coconut chutney.
Recommended for quick lunch and team huddles.

The makhani sauce is far better than most places I’ve eaten at around Chicago downtown.
The marination on the paneer is packed with flavor with a nice charred texture.

I ordered the Green Chili Beef which came cumin rice and pickled Fresno chili. This was so good and flavorful. The best Indian food I’ve had in a long time. Love it!!!

I’ve tried this place many times and the food is outstanding. During my visit today I found a small piece of metal (I’m guessing from a sponge) towards the bottom of my bowl (pictured on plastic cover).
When I told them about it they offered to make me a new bowl, but I declined. I didn’t feel comfortable about consuming anything else from them. I’m glad I noticed before eating it, but someone like a child might miss it and it could have caused an injury.

Okay this is the best Indian food I had in Chicago. Very limited in variety, but sooo sooo authentic, aromatic, tasty and fresh. The ghee rice combined with their makhani sauce is something I only had this good in India. More people need to try this. So far I have ordered 4 times from this place already.
The rice is very well done just like home, very fresh. I think their goal is quality over quantity. You will never get this fresh rice anywhere else. Whoever is cooking and packing is doing it with lots of love and care. You can tell by what your food looks. Cilantro looks fresh, rice has such nice aroma. I think comparing this with any other Indian place would be an insult to the chef. This is some high quality stuff.

I discovered this place a bit late, but I’m so glad I did! My go-to is the Saag Bowl with chicken and paneer — it’s packed with flavor and feels healthy too.
For anyone who misses Indian food, these bowls offer a wonderful variety, capturing the essence of regional flavors — from the spicy South Indian-inspired Keralan Bowl to the creamy, rich North Indian-style Delhi Belly Bowl.
And don’t leave without trying the masala fries with the ginger pickle mayo dip — absolutely addictive!

As a person who is of South Asian background, this place is both authentic yet modern. Highly recommend! Green chili rice bowl was so good.

Saffron Street is a solid lunch spot when you’re craving something different. I tried the Green Chili Beef Paratha, spicy ground beef with pickled Fresno chilies and lemon yogurt, all wrapped in warm paratha bread. Also grabbed a side of Masala Fries with ginger pickle mayo. Flavors were bold and satisfying. Service was quick, and the space has a modern, clean vibe. Only knock is the limited hours, wish they were open later. Spent about $18 total. Will definitely be back for another lunch run.
