Saffron Patch - Authentic Indian Restaurant in South Philly — Restaurant in Philadelphia

The food is flavorful. The first time I ordered were chicken tikka masala, goat karahi and butter naan. Everything was great, we even had leftover curry so my wife order a basket of naan the next day. Sadly, this batch had tiny pebbles on some of the breads. Unfortunately, when we ate, it was midnight and didn't had a chance to bring it back to the restaurant. I guess it was partly my fault for waiting til the evening of next day to bring it back. The owner assumed I was lying because of the long delay to return the food (3/4 were untouched), which lead to a heated conversation. My intention was to get a replacement and I would had order more food to accommodate the new naans. Sadly a good experience ruined by poor customer service.

Update: the restaurant did called back later to apologize and offer to replace or refund the naan. I'm still frustrated by the experience but it is not entirely the restaurant fault. I'm doing an update to let people know that the restaurant does take responsibility for their mistakes.

TL:DR Good food, worth the try. A misunderstanding happened, restaurant took responsibility to correct...

This is the best Indian food in Philly, not just south Philly but the entire city of Philadelphia. Ive eaten at upscale Indian restaurants such as Veda, karma and Indeblue and this little hole in the wall beats them cause of the authenticity of the dishes. I just went to a North Indian restaurant in Edison (essentially part of India) and all I could think about is how much better Saffron's chicken tikka is compared to their's. I order it medium spicy and it has the PERFECT kick to it. I am also shocked how amazing their naan (bread) is as well. When I order Indian takeout I'm prepared to get lesser quality naan compared to those upscale restaurants I've discussed, however this is not the case for Saffron at all. Their laccha paratha is so flakey and so perfect every time I want to cry. This place is the definition of a gem and l really hate to see 1 star reviews complaining about their delivery or order experience. This is in my top 3 of best Indian food I have ever tried and man I have dined at an insane amount of Indian...

Amazing experience. They had given salad and on top of that option to switch rice with butter naan for the curry which was like am I in India right now? The goat vinadaloo was amazing. Perfect spices and hot. The chicken butter masala was bland but then we asked for mild. I think the flavor was not coming properly. The paneer makhni was also on sweeter side even though we asked for spicy. But they do have something called garlic chili naan, which was a treat. Too much chilies, order on your own risk lol! The regular garlic naan were great too. I enjoyed the presentation of the place and serving. It felt like having the treat in India. The mango lassi was on seeeter side, the sweet one was not so much but freshly made. Overall a good add to neighborhood and Philadelphia India scene, I think if you order according to taste you...
