Best Indian in CT by far. Warm hospitality every visit, quality food, and I found out they use home made ghee instead of seed oils. Can’t talk enough good about this place and staff.

I would highly recommend “A Woman & Family Owned New Owners of Saffron Cusine” for a fantastic dining experience. The food was delicious, especially the Lasooni Manchurian dish and the service was top-notch. The flavors were perfectly balanced, and the presentation was beautiful.
