The Saffron Tree — Restaurant in Kolkata

Horrible experience 😞 will never even think of visiting it and would recommend the same for others .i would like to share a detailed experience of this worst over rated restaurant. Some 1 month ago we had gone there to celebrate our daughter ' s birthday over there as we have expected it would be really nice as videos and reviews in instagram and all over showed but it was a big mistake to visit this restaurant. Obviously on the occasion of birthday we have taken a cake with us to cut it over there but to our surprise when we said to serve us with knife so that we can cut the cake ... They completely refused and they suggested us to cut the cake at last and have it instead of dessert.tge reason they give ehind this was simply if we would eat the cake we would not e able to order and eat anything from the menu such a ridiculous reason ifwe went there to have our dinner we would definitely order something or whatever we like .. and not just to eat the cake More over the staff and waiter were too arrogant and rude. The food taste was disgusting even street food would have taste better only the kebabs i would say we're moderate in taste rest were all garbage like taste Especially the lucknow mutton biryani don't even think of ordering it - rice quantity too les ,like boiled rice with no ingredients mutton piece horrible just size of an egg and that too stiff and chewy , uncooked The main thing the biryani was way too salty When we asked them to change the mutton piece which couldn't be eaten by a normal human being They even give a worst piece and even added extra like we have to pay double for such food I would recommend only one thing to the owner of the restaurant to just go and atleast minimum have a dinner at Arsalan atleast if we complain about the pieces they simply changes it with a better one without extra payment All over there was a huge difference between our expectations...

A lot of people has visited this place earlier and have posted many updates and information regarding the restaurant. Thus I will not describe on that and want to dig into the foods directly... We ordered:

Malai Murg Ki Gillori (5 pieces): Have no idea regarding dish as I visited for the restaurant for first time. After placing this order the vallet came to me and explained about the dish and want to know that if I jave any problem with the spices they use. As I ask them to prepare it as it is. It is one of the best mughlai starter I have ever tested. Soft tendered chicken just melted inside the mouth as it is not a solid piece of chicken. They creats small tofu's of chicken with the paste of chicken and tossed in milk, cream and kasturi methi... (Rs. 245/-)

Lucknowi Dum Biriyani: Normal Mutton Biriyani presented beautifully in a perfect shape of a cube. Most specifically the egg and potato were inserted into the rice but the mutton is placed just beside the cube of rice. Very light biriyani with very less smell of the sent and minimal use of artifical colour (Rs. 225/-)

Hyderabadi Ghost Sofiana: While placing the order of this dish the vallet told me that it is a rice without any spices just with taste of biriyani and filled with raisins and cashwey. But i never thought to get such dish. It looks like normal white rice placed in a cube shape as same as biriyani and stuffed with egg and potato and filled with raisins and cashwey. It tastes like heaven. I have never tasted and never thought of tasting such a beautifully and sinful rice with a nice aroma. (Rs. 225/-)

Baristah e Murg: The dish contains two piece of chicken with nice aromatic gravy placed in a small bowl. The thick gravy over the chicken is a perfect one to have it as a side dih with the biriyani or to accompany it with any of the...

The most successful restaurants are ones that provide meals with an experience we'll never forget, an experience that is truly unique. Last week I visited such a place after so many days and that is ' The saffron Tree' !

Foods I had -

▪Lichi ke kebabs 👉This had my heart . Try if you wanna try something new.

▪Machi aur aam papad ki kebabs 👉This was Heavenly.

▪ Hyderabadi Murg Sofiana 👉 I simply love the good biryanis. This Hyderabadi chicken biryani is an aromatic, mouth watering and authentic Indian dish with succulent chicken in layers of fluffy rice, fragrant spices and caramelized onions. Served with one boiled egg and one potato.

▪Signature La ferme 👉 A pizza with some great tasty twists. They use some kinda Indian fried bread instead of typical pizza crust in this dish. It is so cheesy and so yummy.

▪Gosth ka Halwa 👉Ever heard of a dessert made of mutton? It is almost a lost recipe now. Sounds unique but actually it turns out very delicious. The end product was like any other halwa / pudding that is generally made, but far more yummier. I bet no one will be able to guess the core ingredient. So definitely this should be a must try at here.

👌🏻Special mention - ✔The correct use of the pretty interior. ✔Very cosy ambience . ✔Well behaved and professional staffs. ✔ Also Chef Sambit had walked over after our meal to talk about our experience and he was so good that he let us knw abt the origin of the dishes and all. That's wonderful really. ✔Very very importantly they serve such items that you have never eaten in other restaurants in kolkata.

VERDICT- This place is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FOR ALL. I bet you'll be falling love with the place and their tempting food. So go and make it a hit and thank...
