Tandoori Roti . Roti's were crisp .

HOW WAS THE OVERALL EXPERIENCE : The overall experience was average . I had very high hopes
with the Restaurant .Saffron didn't met my expectations . If you compare the Ambiance , Food , Service the rate are very high . Also the service is slow . I went on a weekend at around 3.30 p.m .the sitting arrangement was good with the tables evenly placed .I expected a high quality of  Table Covers .The food was average .
One good this about the restaurant is the variety in the Menu . It has a huge menu options . If the prices would have been less , i would have easily rated the restaurant as good  .It offers Buffet also which is prised at Rs. 250 .
