Saffron Spice

“We tried this place twice, and I'm so happy I tried different things cuz its literally the best curry I've ever had. My husband had butter chicken, its rich and creamy I had vindaloo beef first and jeera miren beef this time, vindaloo was really good but jeera miren is another level, heaven for cilantro lover.”

“My friend and I had the most fantastic experience at this restaurant last night. The food was amazing. The butter chicken was the best I’ve ever had. The service was impeccable. The cleanliness was spot on. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough. It is right at the Northgate exit and easy to access. The staff was very friendly and kind. It has a wonderful vibe and I just can’t say enough about the food. My friend had the rack of lamb and we couldn’t stop talking about how perfect it was.”

“Super yummy Naan and Butter Chicken! Quick service. I did ask for dine-in but was handed a to-go bag,a bit unexpected but I was ok with taking it home. The seating area doesn't quite look like a normal dine-in spot as the room is quite small. I am happy with the food though, so that's all that counts!”

“Saffron Spice is a wonderful place to go for Indochinese food as well as Goan cuisine. Both of those cuisines aren’t very well represented in this area, so when I learned Saffron Spice has those dishes, I was very interested in visiting. The space is spartan, but I ordered to go and they aren’t allowing in person dining currently. I ordered the Chicken 65, Gobi Manchurian, Chicken Schezwan, and Chicken Xacuti Curry. Everything I had was delicious. Each dish had a combination of spices that felt familiar but definitely different. I really loved the gobi Manchurian with it’s stir fried cauliflower and tasty mix of peppers and spices. I also really enjoyed the Chicken 65. The Chicken Schezwan was also great and was really menacing looking with it’s deep red maroon sauce. It looked like something that would knock your socks of with heat, but the spices were tasty and much more subdued than the color would suggest. Finally, the xacuti curry was the Goan curry that had a very nice flavor as well. I hope to visit again soon and recommend them wholeheartedly.”

“Very good southern (Goan) Indian food. Simple, hole-in-the-wall dining space with excellent service and friendly staff. Tasty mint spice and tamarind sauce. Samosas had a nice thin and crunchy skin. The Naan was lightly flavored with a crispy bottom. Savory and spicy lamb curry. The house specialty chicken curry had great flavors, but the white chicken breast was on the very dry, overly chunky, and hard side; would recommend shredded white chicken or dark thighs. Definitely a great Indian food spot for the neighborhood. They also have food trucks with (changing) daily lunch specials during the weekday in SLU and surrounding areas.”
