Indian Saffron Grill — Restaurant in San Francisco

I was looking for a place to eat on Diviz. I wasn't craving anything specific, and decided to give Saffron Grill a chance.

It felt like I was entering someone's home when I opened the door. The dining area is like a converted living space. Small and intimate. And I was greeted with such a warm welcome! We were seated promptly as there were many tables available.

My roommate and I ordered veggie samosas, chicken tikka masala, chicken vindaloo, basmati rice, and garlic naan. The veggie samosas were really good, especially with the tamarind sauce. The chicken tikka masala was for me, and I thought that it was small at first. I was wrong about the third piece of chicken in. So wrong.. And mind you, I was starving before I entered the restaurant. I ended up devouring the entire thing, but I really could've stopped at that third piece. The masala was creamy and savory with a hint of sweetness. I also really liked the garlic naan. It was soft with a hint of garlic.

The wait staff were really friendly and attentive. We were going to get two orders of basmati rice, and the waiter said one would be enough. I'm glad he suggested it because it really was enough for us, and we had leftovers.

By the end of our meal, all the tables were full, with one party waiting outside.

I definitely want to come back here and try more of...

First time coming here! i was taking my daily walk in the city i love! SF but by the amazing smell emanating from this place i had to stop in & try their Tandoori chicken over Basmati Rice which is my fav food when it comes to Indian Food! I’m currently waiting for my order..i’ll let you guys know how the food is but from what i can tell i’m in for a treat! Update: I wasn’t disappointed but i think its best if you eat the food on the spot & not to go. The chicken tasted good a bit dry but i think its because i took it to go, they could’ve put less onions, the Basmati rice goes so well with this dish, highly recommend it, i would’ve like it if they would add a little more of the chicken juices, it would go so good with the Basmati Rice, i do plan on going back to this place but eating it in the restaurant, oh! & the waiter recommended me the Rice Pudding for dessert so i have to try that next time i’m...

The food is excellent. Just watch out what service you order through. Postmates was listed as the delivery service and it didn’t get delivered. I called the restaurant and they said there’s nothing they could do about it and to call Uber. That’s not the service listed on the app I ordered through. It wasn’t left outside, no one called when it was supposedly delivered. The restaurant just has it in their system as delivered and wouldn’t do anything else once it was in the driver’s hands.

I think if you’re going to partner with a company to boost deliveries take responsibility for the deliveries once it leaves your hands. The customer service app for Postmates site had a chat that wouldn’t log me on so I couldn’t contact anyone. You need to be able to contact someone.

I’ll probably just do pickup orders from now on because of the...
