The Saffron House - Table reservation

We have never been attracted to Indian restaurants as the occasional experiences have left us with eyes watering and mouths stinging due to the excessive use of spices, particularly chilli that certainly cleared the sinuses if nothing else. Tonights experience gave us confidence to try Indian cuisine again. Four of us shared several dishes plus rice and naan bread. The level of spice and heat was sufficient for us to enjoy the cuisine without pain or reaching constantly for a cooling drink. The quality was pleasing and the total bill quite acceptable. It was a pleasant surprise to find a local restaurant a cut above the bland offerings in our area.

We went for a family dinner last night at the Saffron house; the restaurant is clean and quiet and has fantastic decor; the service is quick and friendly, and the food was phenomenal, with many vegetarian options; the food was fast, fresh and hot, the owner even offered some plant-based ice cream for a friend who couldn't have the dairy ice cream, it's the small things that make our experience better. Will visit again, make sure you visit Saffron house when you travel to Melbourne

A family group of five, we enjoyed a great meal. We started with two serves of mushrooms, which was great as a starter. For mains we enjoyed Vindaloo fish, lamb korma and chicken took a with veg biryani as the rice. The meal was excellent with great spices and flavour and not overly hot. We enjoyed three hours of catching up with people we hadn't seen for years. Highly recommended.

We had the butter chicken with rice and bread. Definitely one of the better Indian restaurants we have been to.
