I loved this place! I've eaten at myriad Indian restaurants in the past 30 years and I feel like I found a gem. Beautiful aesthetic, from the cutlery and dishes to the fragrant biryani dishes and delectable dosas.

Three of us arrived for an early dinner on a Friday night. We were met by friendly staff and seated promptly at a beautiful table by the window. One of our party arrived before the rest and was able to be seated without all of us being present. Big plus!The atmosphere was lovely. Open, a lot of tables, yet a lot of room so we didn’t feel crammed together. Open beam ceilings, and beautiful decor. The feeling of a bit upscale, with a welcoming feel of family. Although there were many other patrons, we didn’t have to raise our voices to hear each other talk. The table was set up for four, and when the first of our party arrived water was brought in silver cups along with a tall slender silver pitcher for us to fill our cups at our convenience. Which was nice for me as I drink a lot of water with my meals. Oh, and you know the smell of Indian spices? You are met with that wonderful smell as soon as you walk in the door. It is not overwhelming, however, you know you are in a Traditional Indian restaurant.Srikanth was our server. He explained the dishes for those in the party who were unfamiliar with Indian Cuisine. He allowed us to take our time scanning the menu, however, would check back in with us so as to not make us wait if we were ready.We ordered Punjabi Samosas, Paneer Dosas, the Butter Chicken spice level Medium, an order of Garlic Nan and two Masala Chia Hot Teas.Our food was delivered very quickly, and piping hot.The samosas were light, if you could call a samosa light, and full of flavor, as were the dosas.The fresh chutneys served with the dosas and samosas were so good. I could close my eyes and feel like I was back in India. I could taste all of the flavors without any one of them overwhelming the other. I could taste the freshness, as if the chutneys were made to order just for us.The Butter chicken, on top of the basmati rice was some of the best I have ever eaten. And the garlic nan had just enough garlic to give it flavor, yet not so much that I had to cover my mouth while speaking at the event we later attended.I’ve been to India, and I lived about two miles from Little India in Artisia, California for 13 years. I have eaten my fair share of Indian cuisine. The food at Saffron Valley was fresh, authentic, and made with love.The service we received from Srikanth was exceptional. He was friendly, explained the dishes, greeted us with a smile, was attentive, checked in enough yet not too much. We felt welcome to stay as long as we wish, and when I, the one who knows Indian cuisine , ordered the “Pan” (I’ve been studying Spanish obsessively for a few months) he didn’t even correct me, just asked if we wanted it plain, with garlic, or with cheese. That’s class.I would wholeheartedly recommend Saffron Valley in downtown SLC to anyone who enjoys authentic Indian cuisine, or anyone who has never tried it before and wants to.

Title: Mixed Experience at Saffron Valley RestaurantOn a Sunday night, I ventured to Saffron Valley Restaurant in Salt Lake City. My table's selection included the saffron mixed grill, chili cheese naan, cilantro chicken, chicken chettinad, and masala tea.The saffron mixed grill proved to be an appetizer triumph, setting a high standard for the meal to come. Each curry dish, accompanied by fragrant basmati rice, delivered on flavor and authenticity, leaving our taste buds tantalized and satisfied.However, the promise of handcrafted masala tea was marred by disappointment when we saw the waiter pouring tea from the machine. The pricing, in light of this discrepancy, felt somewhat unjustified.Moreover, the ambiance was disrupted by an unwelcome gesture towards the end of our meal. As the night progressed, the waitstaff hastened our departure, prematurely presenting take-out boxes before we had finished our dining experience. This rushed conclusion detracted from the overall enjoyment and left a sour note on an otherwise savory evening.In conclusion, while the culinary offerings at Saffron Valley Restaurant were flavorful but the service falls short of the mark. Despite the culinary highs, the dissonance between promised and delivered service left a lingering sense of dissatisfaction. For those seeking a flavorful journey through Indian cuisine, Saffron Valley delivers, albeit with a caveat regarding service standards.

There wasn’t a lot of choices as compared to other Indian buffets that I have been to. We came to 2 o’clock, and it was very rushed. Buffet closed down at 2:15 and we were almost ushered out of there at 2:30.

While in Salt Lake City, we stumbled upon this Indian restaurant near our hotel and decided to give it a try. The food was fantastic, beautifully presented, and the vintage ambiance created a cozy atmosphere. The service was prompt, making it a must-visit place.Dietary restrictions: Vegan options availableParking: 15
