We were in town for th gem show and asked around for best Indian food in this ciy of half million. This is relativley new resturaunt, so very few customer reviews to judge.
We drove about 10 miles out of town, so location seemed a bit far.
My friend ordered in Hindi from the chef who just came out of the kitchen in an apron to greet us.
Excellent food- my friend said one of the dishes just like his Grandmother makes. Well worth the drive! Friendly and speedy waiters and waitresses.
It has been a few days now and I am still recalling the spicy Chicken Tiki Masala.
Friendly staff, upbeat, modern atmopshere with a bar.
Recommend for business guests, friends or couples.
Also heard they have lunch buffet which must be good as well.
Prices are above average- but well worth it for authentic Indian food. Heard other resturaunts in town do not even utilize Indian chefs- this place is for real!

On our 15th wedding anniversary we decided to try a new place. On a friends lead we chose Saffron Bistro. Wonderful food, very clean, excellent choices. We had Lamb and Shrimp. We’ll be back. The owner told us he does not advertise. All word of mouth.

I have been to Saffron many times and have always enjoyed the flavors. I am admittablely not an expert in Indian cuisine, but I really enjoyed their take on many Indian favorites. The soup is really good, and they have some excellent vegetarian dishes. The tandoori chicken is excellent as is the yogurt sauce. If they ask you for your heat preference, choose mild!! The medium heat tended to be to spicy for me, even though I normally like spicy food.

Word seems to vary on whether this is mediocre, faux-Indian food, or the best Indian cuisine in Tucson, and whether the decor is Cafeteria Modern or Stylishly Hip. What we can say for sure is that the place is bustling, and it IS Indian food on the Northwest Side. The presentation sure is pretty!
