Cafe Saffron — Restaurant in Melbourne

We absolutely enjoyed our dinner on a Tuesday night at Café Saffron, Ivanhoe. While we have been here quite a few times with our family ( it's my daughter and grand-children's 'fave Indian restaurant) we have not been here for awhile. Our 2 friends and my wife and I had a wonderful meal. The spinach pakora as entrée was excellent and then the fish Nicobari, Chicken in the coconut shell were as always outstanding. We ordered naan with fruits and nuts as well as plain roti, garlic naan with plain saffron rice. But the best dish this evening was their Malai Kofta Curry - just perfect. Their service was faultless. The owner is such a gentleman and his staff were truly very attentive. As an aside, I had to compliment him on how clean his bathrooms were. And it's not often that I see that in Indian restaurants. Five Stars to the only Indian restaurant that I recommend to my friends. Best Wishes to the team at...

The Murgh chabahar featured chicken cubes cooked in a dreamy, creamy coconut-based gravy, beautifully presented in a coconut shell. It was a rich and exceptionally tasty dish. While both naans were good, they didn't stand out as extraordinary. If you're looking to indulge yourself in mind-blowingly delicious Indian cuisine, I would definitely...
