Saffron Indian Cuisine, New Tampa Restaurant

Every Friday night, I like to have dinner and a movie with my friends. One night we decided to try a new restaurant, Saffron Indian Cuisine. Little did I know that this place would be one of my favorite eating spots in New Tampa.

Saffron is located off Cross Creek, in New Tampa, nestled in a small plaza with a gas station and few other restaurants. The staff was quite pleasant. The décor offered a modest ambience of the Indian culture. Indian music videos played on the overhead television in the background. It wasn’t before long that I felt like singing along. 

For an appetizer, I had the Garlic Naan (bread). There is a wide variety of Naan, including Cheese, Chicken Tika and Pershawari which includes raisin, nuts and herbs. There were soo many choices, many of which I was not familiar with, but the meal compositions were pretty inviting. As an entrée, I tried the Chicken Saagwala, which is boneless pieces of chicken lightly spiced and cooked in spinach (puree spinach). The flavors were bold, not too spicy and most importantly delicious. The Basmati Rice was just as yummy and complimented my meal very well. I really couldn’t get over how incredibly delicious my meal was. My leftovers tasted even better the next day. Needless to say, I’ve been back to Saffron Indian Cuisine several times, and tried a few other dishes. My top two favorite would have to be the Chicken Saagwala (the dish that got me hooked) AND the Chicken Madras which is made with boneless chicken cooked with spices & coconut.

So if you are looking for a place with Great Tasting Food that will make your taste buds dance, this is the restaurant. I love it here, I would recommend it to anyone. If you decide to go, please feel free to leave a post or two.
