Excellent congenial service and slendid meal. We had a banquet which allowed us to sample a wide variety of dishes without having to spend overmuch time on selecting off the menu. Highly recommended.

All the dishes were excellent, flavoursome and well-presented. The vindalooh could have been spicier and the chopped chillis as a side dish were mild - that's from someone who is used to hot,hot spice. The service was friendly and professional. Best Indian I have had in Melbourne. We'll be back

How did we miss this fantastic review? THANK YOU SO MUCH!! sorry the vindaloo wasn't quite hot enough for your taste. We love a good spice challenge! Hopefully, next time we can turn up the heat to match your preference. We hope to see you soon :) Cafe Saffron team
