Re: “Saffron Indian Bistro”
My husband and I have been watching Kitchen Nightmares recently and I felt it was our responsibility to let the public know about this place.
He worked there for a few weeks a couple years ago. He quit because he said the place was filthy. He previously worked at Olive Garden for 3 years which has is immaculate I might add. He ended going back to Olive Garden.
When they were showing him around they went inside the walkin in cooler. On the floor was a bin...like a Sterilite bin. Inside this bin was their main sauce that they use. It was not covered at all, just sitting on the floor open to let stuff fly in it. They told him to step over so they could show him stuff. He lost balance while doing so (those things are pretty large) and his foot went in the sauce. He immediately apologized and they were like "Don't worry about it" and continued to use it. His nasty dirty shoe WENT IN THE SAUCE and they STILL USED IT!!!! EW. He also said the kitchen was disgusting. He actually took it upon himself and tried to clean it.
He and the other line cooks would smoke in the walk in cooler. The managers/owners did know about this because he said one time they walked in when they were smoking. The guy was like "Hurry up" He also said they would sometimes join.
Before I even met my husband and knew about this place, many of my friends had gotten food poisoning from this place as well.
I beg of you, please please do not go to this restaurant. I've never eaten there myself and now I never will.
Re: “Saffron Indian Bistro”
I have eaten here a number of times now and enjoyed the food, service and ambiance more than any other Indian restaurant I've ever been to. I felt so confident in this restaurant that I finally talked my son-in-law from England into trying it!! After 12 years in the states he said he finally found a proper Indian restaurant! Being from England and being that Indian food is his favorite, I think that is a great compliment! Keep up the superb work Saffron!
Re: “Saffron Indian Bistro”
I was not impressed. I felt the portions were small, way over priced, and mediocre at best. I would look elsewhere.

Re: “New Delhi Palace”
At best 2 stars. Have had their biryani, that was ok, and a chicken dish that was inedible. No thanks.
Re: “India Oven”
The service is always great!!!!! The owner is friendly and the food is excellent! We have been going to the Indian Oven for the last 13 years, and our boys just love this wonderful, tasty, well-prepared food. There is nothing like a whole-hearty meal with meat, rice, and vegetables! We highly recommend
it to your family.
Re: “Sher-E Punjab”
I recently asked my dry cleaning lady, who is Indian, were to go for Indian food. She said try Sher-e-Punjab. She must have some sort of interest in that place because all I can say is that the buffet was awful. Diced potatoes with canned green beans in a greasy brown sauce, shredded cabbage in a similarly oil-ladened sauce, bland and watery paneer, all dark meat tandoori chicken, and rather dry basmati rice, Worst of all, everything tasted as if they reuse the leftovers all week long. As an aside. It was kinda comical watching a number of patron come, walk to back of the restaurant, look at the buffet food, and promptly walk out of the building.
Am I too hard of a reviewer? Not if you consider the fact that some of my friends and I have eaten all over the country. Look! Overall, Tucson is sorely lacking in good cuisine, period.
Re: “New Delhi Palace”
Been going to this restaurant for years. Excellent food. Great ambience. Lunch buffet is a
good value.
Re: “India Oven”
This is my favorite food ! My husband and I have been having lunch at the buffet every weekend for 10 years. Yummy.
Re: “India Oven”
Service was great, the server was a delightful and conversational woman. The buffet lunch was fantastic. I am a vegetarian so I stuck with the vegetarian items. Samosas were great, fluffy, and flavorful. The curries had a wonderful taste. I have never been to India Oven for dinner, but hope to in the future. I would recommend this place to anyone.
Re: “Sher-E Punjab”
I was really looking forward to dining at Sher-e-Punjab.
It was not what I thought. Other east asian restaurants are better. Reading the other posts makes me wnder from whence they came...
Re: “Saffron Indian Bistro”
I found Saffron's food excellent. Value for money as well as quality on par w/ my experiences back home in the UK and Mother India herself. My only suggestion is to skip the buffett and order from the menu.
Re: “India Oven”
Went for the lunch buffet. The price was right but most of the items were average/decent. In other words, bland. Do I recommend Indian Over? I'd say give it a try. Will I be back? Hmm? Not sure. Service was a little lacking.
Re: “Sher-E Punjab”
There are several good Indian restaurants in Tuscan, but this one is not one of them. Horrible service, and arrogant management is enough to ruin your dining experience. We are vegetarian and ordered a vegetarian soup, but were instead served a chicken soup. When we noticed something fishy after eating a couple of spoons, we called manager who informed us that it was a chicken soup, But to our surprise and shock, rather than apologizing, he trivialized it as a minor mistake. To a vegetarian serving non-veg is certainly a big mistake, but this gentleman said such mistakes do happen and so what if this has happened to us. Instead of feeling sorry, he insisted that he had done a favor to us by admitting that it was a chicken soup. He went to the extent that he is running this restaurant for 20 years and he doesn't care about my experience or any adverse review I may write,
Avoid this place if you do not risk ruining your dining experience.
