Saffron has certainly becime one of it's kind in Kolkata by serving a pure veg live grill along with unlimited veg meal, starting at an unbelievable price of just Rs.399. Now let's take a look at the item from the "Chill with Grill" menu-
We stated off with the - Saffron Cheese corn tomato soup. It was tangy and creamy, perfect for the chilly winters.
For the appetizers, they served a few different items- Crispy corn, a spicy goodness made by frying sweet corn kernels. Next came Smokyzz sizzler, which was an unique blend of noodles and rice topped with a spicy red sauce and veg tikkas. It was served with french fries and grilled veggies. Overall, it was very unique and also delicious. Then we tried the dry Gobhi Manchurian, Veg Munchurian balls are tossed in Manchurian sauce to make this lip-smacking appetizer.
For the live grill, we had Kasoori paneer Tikka and Bar-be-que Aloo. Both the aloo and paneer were very well marinated and presented in screwers. The charring at the live grill added more flavours to the dish.
Coming to the mains, the first item we tried was the Baked macaroni with Pineapple. Cheesy and gooye goodness, baked to perfection. The macaroni had a nice bite to it, and the sweetness from the pineapples helped to balance out the flavours.
Next came a varites of North Indian delicacies - Paneer Amritsari - One of Punjab's most favourite veg dishes, made with a skilful blend of soft paneer and vegetables with herbs, spices and other ingredients to produce a rich taste and smooth texture.
Mix Veg Lucknawi - a variety of fresh vegetables cooked in a creamy and luscious yellow gravy, it goes really well with naan and kulchas.
Methi Aloo - It is a simple yet comforting stir fry, made with potatoes and seasonal fenugreek leaves. We gulped these down along with an assortment of breads - Naan, Roti, Methi Paratha, stuff paratha, butter kulcha, onion kulcha, pudina paratha
We also savoured some delicious Dal tadka, Jeera Rice And a very flavourful Veg biriyani.
Finally we ended our meal with the Dessert of the day, which was Gulab jamun. It was served hot, and was so soft that it instantly melted in our mouths.
One thing to note is that, you can opt for unlimited servings of each dish except the dessert, which is single serving

Read moreIt's Ok kind of a restaurant. Price is on the higher side. Quantity is not Upto the mark as per their price range. There are too many other restaurants in Behala, where you will get much better quality with more Quantity in lesser price.
We ordered, Cheese Kabab - it was not at all good, Kabab piece were too hard and dry. Cheese Kabab name is not justified as well because they don't know how to make cheese Kabab. Rs. 200/-
We also ordered , Reshmi Kabab - now the fun part is , both the kababs tastes similar. 😅 It was hard as well. Price - Rs. 170/-
Difference between 2 types of Kabab is , one plate was with a little bit cheese topped another one is not. Rest everything was same. Chk the pictures you will understand.
They don't serve Chaines items at the noon time , I don't know what the hell is wrong with this place 😅 so , I had to order "AFGHANI PULAO" - this item is more like a normal biryani with small 5-6 chicken pieces in the bowl. Sweet type of biryani, you can't tag it as PULAO 😂 PULAO price - Rs. 240/-
We asked, what will you suggest with this PULAO , waiter said " go for handi chicken, it comes with 2 big pieces, it's delicious" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Check out the image of chicken pieces, you will understand how big it was. Usually we eat bigger pieces in our home 😁 however , they charged Rs.190/- for the Hindi chicken. Gravy was good but , 190/- for 2 chicken pieces are not worthy at all.
I'll strongly recommend you to go for other restaurants. Not at all happy...
