Lunch at Saffron Grill

We recently dined at Saffron Grill with our extended family. This was our first time at this Indian and Mediterranean spot located in Northgate. We were all impressed with the ambiance and service. The menu was big with lots of options for everyone. My son ordered a Mango Lassi, and I was able to try it. Super refreshing and tasted like a standard traditional Mango Lassi. Our cousin ordered a Mazza Sampler Plate featuring Hummus, falafel, pita bread, and more. I had a bite of the hummus with an olive, and it melted in my mouth. 

We ordered the Butter Chicken with Basmati Rice, along with both Garlic and Plain Naan. The rice was so light and almost too easy to eat, and both kinds of Naan tasted fabulous, perfect for dipping in the Butter Chicken sauce. The Naan pieces were huge, as big as a platter! The sauce was really smooth with just a little bit of heat, and the chicken was nice and tender. The rest of the family enjoyed their food and even had some leftovers since the portions are large here. 

We were able to make a reservation for our large group, and our server did a great job. I would return here to try more items and maybe even a cocktail. They have a large dessert menu, too, for the sweet tooths. They did give us complimentary Rice Pudding, and it was really tasty. We all shared three orders. It reminded me of melted ice cream with rice and nuts. I was already really full, so I just had a few bites.
