Saffron Indian Grill - Powell

I was at b'day party and buffet lunch both times it was good. The good thing about this buffet compared to other restaurants in Columbus is the choice. In Saffron you can see many varieties in the buffet and they also have chat buffet, the supplement. Good staff and fast service. Must visit. They have sizzlers that make them on hot grill and it will be a must. You have a nice rice compared to regular Biryanis.

It's one of the best restaurants in Columbus with great ambiance and food quality in reasonable prices. Last time we had lunch buffet, It was good. This time we ordered Veg appetizers platter, Paneer kulcha, pav bhaji and Veg manchurian. Appetizers and Paneer kulcha were really very delicious and balanced in sense of spices. Can't say about Pav bhaji, It tasted like something else! It was good but didn't taste like authentic bhaji. Veg manchurian was too salty. I don't recommend Indo Chinese menu to people who prefer mild spice level. Overall it was a good experience. Service was great, they make sure we are having good time. :

1. Service is good. 2. Prices are fair. 3. Friendly staff. 4. Good menu with so many varieties. 5. Need to improve little on taste

I had high hopes, but food was mediocre to bad and the service was nonexistent. Arrived here during lunch hour and the place was empty but for ourselves, a business duo, and a single gentleman who was eating from the buffet. We got the lamb korma—sauce was decent, lamb wasn’t tender enough though. Samosa chaat was delicious, but chicken pakora was cooked until it was cardboard stiff and dried. I told the server, who didn’t seem to care that we didn’t touch the dish nor wished to take it home. The naan was mediocre. The rice was mediocre, and filled with mostly broken grains.

Food was an average, not real Indian flavors added. Looks like they have amateur chef making dishes using random spices rather perfect mix of the veggies and spices. Ordered Veg Jalfrezi Dish and they brought completely different veg mixture and also the dish was almost raw (Broccoli is not an ingredient for Jalfrezi). Can't believe they took the dish twice inside twice to fix it but still didn't get it right. It went untouched and still had to pay for. Not sure how it was for other dishes but truely wasn't that great experience which would bring me back to this restaurant again.
