SAFFRRON INDIAN RESTAURANT — Restaurant in Ponta Delgada

A True Taste of India in Portugal!

I had the pleasure of dining at this Indian gem during my stay in Portugal, and it truly exceeded all expectations. From the moment we walked in, the warm hospitality and inviting aromas set the tone for a memorable experience.

The menu was a perfect blend of traditional favorites and unique specialties. We tried the butter chicken, lamb rogan josh, and a variety of vegetarian dishes – each one was rich in flavor, perfectly spiced, and beautifully presented. The naan was soft and fresh,

What stood out even more than the food was the exceptional service. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and eager to recommend dishes based on our preferences. They made us feel genuinely welcome and ensured we had everything we needed throughout the meal.

And the best part is the staff are so incredibly personable. Out of the six days in Sao Miguel, I ate five days here (skipped one day because my flight arrived after 10 lol). Highly recommend, you won’t be...

Definitely a must visit if you enjoy authentic Indian cuisine. We visited in early June 2025, and didn't need a reservation, but something tells me this restaurant is going to get very popular. The service, and food was excellent. I had the Lamb Vindaalo and my husband had the Chicken Korma. We also shared a side of basmati rice and garlic naan. The meat and sauces in both dishes were tender and flavorful. They also serve an amazing Raita with a cracker while you wait for your appetizers. It is the best Raita I've ever tasted. We are only here one more night and I'm pretty sure we'll...
