The food is extremely tasty. The owners are very kind, generous and helpful. This Ismaili / East African / Indian take-out restaurant is a hidden gem in the NW.

Ordered butter chicken and spinach goat along with coconut rice. Good flavor, the butter chicken had a cinnamon taste to it which was different but nice.

This place is excellent. Seriously.
Having travelled a fair bit, and having had some experience with food, I've been constantly disappointed with the quality of Indian food available in Calgary, and almost did not want to risk trying another. I've been seeing this place often, and finally decided to drop by and get some dinner. I'm so happy I did.
The people are amazing. Super friendly, and they really accommodate for your tastes. The owner recommended just the right quantity and I didn't end up ordering any more than I needed. The portions are fairly good, and one dish and rice was more than enough for my wife and I.
The food was spectacular. I got the chicken in coconut gravy, with some rice, and some kebabs.
The chicken was spot on, with a really nice, thick, flavorful sauce, with a seriously good amount of chicken (a lot of the other places have like four pieces of chicken or paneer in a tank of sauce). The rice was perfectly cooked, with separate grains, and paired just right with the curry. The flavors were proper home style.
We were super satisfied with the meal, and look forward to trying the other food they have to offer. They really deserve the praise and should be your go to place for Indian food in Calgary.
As a plus there's plenty of parking, and they're pretty quick with the turnaround.
Thank you!

Saffron is our favourite takeout place for Indian dishes. The vegetable samosas are the best we’ve ever found. Their other dishes we’ve tried have been excellent and very tasty. The owners are very nice too. Highly recommend Saffron.

Good food just like the home made kind.
The mince and green pea curry is the greatest.
Only thing the egg plant curry had more potatoes in it than egg plant. Please have only egg eggplant in the egg plant curry and no potatoes.
Other than that no issues great service friendly people and good food.
Keep up the good food.

I think this place doesn't get the credit it deserves. I have almost always had a good experience here, the food is good. While it might not be the most traditional Indian dishes, they seem to know the local tastes. It is always a pleasure to pick up saffron when I am in Calgary.
