We love Saffron for Indian food. They do it best! The dining room is nice and the service is always good. The food is excellent and well priced. I hate to say how good the buffet is since it already has a large and loyal following. I like Saffron's better than any other Indian Restaurant I have been to.

Very nice menu and good service. There is a lunch buffet that is convenient during the day. Amazing food for a reasonable price.

The food (even spicy) felt toned down for the authentic Indian style food. But the restaurant on the inside is stunning, gorgeous even. Of course when you order your meal rice is not complimentary, and neither is the bread...so the 13$+ meal becomes even more with addition of basic Indian essentials (well rice I mean, they even make a special...

I'm addicted to there Chicken Tikka Masala. Its such a wonderful dish. I find it hard to believe that even those who claim to not like Indian food wouldn't love this. Order it with some saffron rice and a garlic naan (type of bread). You will be hooked. Its sooo good.

My wife and I went to saffron for the first time and had a great meal. She ordered tandoori chicken and I had chicken tikka masala. We split a garlic naan and so saffron rice. Everything was excellent. We will be back for sure.

This is was one of the best indian restaurant in town comparing it to the other indian restaurants I have eaten at within kalamazoo/portage.

Restaurant is in a little side mall area. While it has some ambiance, one must really like the food (East Indian) as there is not a lot of other alternatives on the menu

I have eaten in a couple of other Indian restaurants in the Greater Kalamazoo-Battle Creek area and I would say that this place is the best for me. Saffron offers Indian buffet during lunch and ala carte dining in the evening although you can also order ala carte for lunch. I had a few dinner at this place and I... More

We take our family here for special occasions, because though it's almost an hour away, the food is worth the trip. Great tasting food. The only improvement I could suggest is that service is sometimes not too friendly.
