The food this place serves is great. I have tried the indian and tandoori dishes and it tastes awesome. Though the restaurant was under construction since i visited there but they provide home deliveries. They serve delicious biriyani and chicken sides.

This bistro is located in Sakherbazaar area and is one of the better places in Behala. To be more specific, it is located exactly at the four point crossing of James Long Sarani of Sakherbazaar. I had ordered food for home delivery and hence, I won't be able to comment about the interior decoration or the ambience maintained by this restaurant.
I had ordered Mixed Fries Rice and Kadhai Chicken.
Mixed Fried Rice: Excellently prepared. The amount was sumptuous too. The taste was superb with ample of chicken, egg and prawn pieces. This dish is a must try.
Kadhai Chicken: This was another delicious dish. The Chinese and the Mughlai items complemented each other quite well. The chicken was spicy with a lot of gravy and would go even better with naans or paranthas. Nonetheless, it went well with the rice we had ordered. Soft and succulent chicken pieces with spicy gravy makes it a good combination.
I remember that once upon a time Jafran used to boast about a rating of 4.4 in Zomato. By tasting their food today, I definitely feel that this place deserves such good rating. I hope I get to see the ratings go up really soon. Looking forward to visiting this place and enjoying their food again.
We have order food 2 to 3 times and were never disappointed. I think it is one of the best restaurants in Behala. The chicken chaap was too yummy. The best part is they don't use dalda. Tsighoi chicken tasted sweet and tangy. Butter garlic fried rice and panir butter masala also taste good. Quite satisfied with food quality and would definitely recommend to others.
I ordered for some delivery by Zomato. Surprising good service compared to my past experience with Zomato delivery. The food was pretty good - we got dal makhani, fried rice and chili noodles. Dal was unnecessarily oily and noodles were a bit too spicy but I liked the flavors in both.
Not keen on dining in but definitely a good option for home delivery.
I ordered mutton biriyani and chicken chaap through swiggy from this joint.The delivery was fast thanks for that to Jafran and Swiggy.Coming to the test the mutton biriyani it was really good.Mutton piece was soft and tender and rice was melt in mouth.The master stroke was the chaap @ 99 only which went very well with the biriyani.Looking to dine in here soon.
I ordered chicken reshmi , dal makhani , Hydrebadi spocy chicken,Lachha paratha for delivery this week. First I would say the delivery boy was really sober.Now coming to the food it tasted very good.The side dish went well witht he lachha .The reshmi also tasted well.The dal makhani was ok.The best part is the price is very reasonable.Jafran gives sides at 139 maintaining the same quality.The change in their menu is really very good and competitive. Over all a nice dinner at very reasonable rate.Lokking forward to have more.
I absolutely loved the food but the service wasn't good. Just a single waiter to handle all the rush (maybe others were absent on the day I visited) , and he didn't even serve the dish on my plate even after I requested him to do so.
The place is small however cozy. And very pocket friendly indeed!
The most underrated resturant in Behala Sakher Bazar James Long Xing. 5 mins walk from my place. Good place to dine with family and friends. The food is good in terms of quality and quantity.
Had ordered Parindai e Lashkar ,dudh roti, moti biriyani, galouti kabab on home delivery. Kabab was great, biriyani was good too except the quantity could have been a little more . But parindai e Lashkar , which I was actually excited about turned out to be tandoori chicken in gravy instead of what they claimed it to be - whole roasted chicken stuffed with minced mutton. Dudh roti was soft but tasted nothing extraordinary. All in all a mixed experience .

Hi All,
Didn't visit. Had the food delivered home. I am not a vegetarian guy, but my mom has this strict vegan- Saturday thingy...most Bengalis would understand, in case you don't , ignore this. I ordered Aloo Biryani and Paneer Shahi Korma.
Delivery: I was satisfied with the delivery time. The guy reached 15 mins before the scheduled time. He even obliged me with a pack of smokes which I asked to bring along. Polite, well mannered. So 5/5 on that.
Packaging: The food came in plastic bowls with casing. Now either the food was not hot to start with, or the packaging wasn't enough. I can say, the food wasn't cold. It should have been warmer.That's all. So 3/5 for that.
Quantity: Quantity is enough for 2. That is, if you are not starving for hours.4/5
Quality: The aloo biryani was quiet good. Though not over the top. If you want a special treat you should look someplace else. The paneer was good as well. But there was a hint of garlic and onion in it. So jain or strictly vegetarian people should think before ordering. I would rate 3.5/5.
Price: 90/- INR for the aloo biryani was pretty decent. But 170/- INR for the paneer was a little bit too much. The exact pricing should have been 135-140. So the rating would be 3.5/5 again.
Overall I would rate it 3.8/5.
But yes, I wouldn't shy away from eating here in future.
Whether you're seeking a delightful meal or a pleasant dining environment, The Saffron Tree is a standout choice that promises both quality cuisine and a charming setting.However, it's worth noting that the portion sizes seem a bit modest considering the price. While the quality is commendable, a balance in quantity could enhance the overall value for diners.
I had a great time with my friends here at Saffron Tree.
The wait time was decent and not very long.
Each of the dishes tasted delicious and lip smacking. The mughlai dishes were incredibly good and I would visit again.
I will definitely recommend this place to everyone.
Incredible food menu, delicious taste made this restaurant unique. This fine dine restaurant was my visit list and after visiting it is now favorite list. Ambiance was nice and staff were cordial. You can order hard drinks or cocktail in nominal rate with limited stock but food is bit of high price. You will find some fusion must try items. You can ask them for detail.
We had ordered Crab meat ki galawat, Mutton sutli kebab, Kataifi achari prawn, TST special pork biryani, camino driver. All items were unique and tasty. Must visit place.
I visited last durga puja even at that time The food quality was excellent. Yes the waiting time was high but I can understand the pressure of the high order.
I deducted 1 star from service only due to the person who was handling the sitting arrangement. He was rude and unprofessional. That can be improved or switched with some other person. Who can Handel and talk more professionally.
I went there to celebrate my birthday. Had ordered two cocktails, two starters, one chicken side dish, one bread, one lucknowi biriyani. The food was delectable and had unique taste...loved the starters and the side dish. The biriyani was slightly salty but well cooked, flavourful and all the non veg items were very well marinated and cooked. The ambiance was fresh and vibrant more of a family restaurant type. From user perspective, i wasnt quite comfortable witg the use of cutlery. The spoon was a little bit curvier and there wasnt any chisel. I wish the plates were white and full plates...they served in yellow half plates even the main course. Other than that i think its a place one can give a try!!!
We visited on one weekend. And undoubtedly it is one of the best we have come across for a long time. From the taste of the food to the ambience of the place is perfect for us. There are good options for Alcohols also (Whiskey, Wine, Vodka, Beer etc..). I think the nearest Metro Station is either Kalighat or Rabindra Sarobar and it is close to Lake Mall also. We will most definitely visit again very soon. 👍🏻
We went on a weekend. Did order J.M.B.C,Zatar Spice murg reshmi kabab, Baled alaska murg sandha kabab, Matarban ki murg ,Lucknow and Hyderabadi dum biriyani along with Qorma murg aur bacon ki lasagana. All the dishes were very tasty except Hyderabadi biriyani. I personally felt it blunt though the Lucknow biriyani was yum.
Ambience is nice. Food presentation is also quite interesting. Food quality and taste is at par with any 3-4 star restaurant. Budget friendly despite serving drinks. All in all this restaurant checks many plus points for visiting this place with friends and family if anyone looking to have a merry time. A special mention to their fast and prompt service. Good job team Saffron Tree.
Incredible taste and quality of food.
We ordered lucknow dum biriyani and Porkzilla paratha pizza. Both were extremely delicious.
Loved it.❤
Must Visit.
Ordered 3 items there. Machli aam kabab was the show stopper. Mutton biriyani was not so exciting, tasted good but disappointed with mutton size. Garlic naan and chicken recipe was normal
