Guide Review - Saffron Patch Indian Restaurant - Akron

Saffron Patch's soft lighting and mellow music provide an intimate setting in their two cozy dining rooms. The décor is modern with artwork on the walls, thick curtains framing the rooms, and elegant tables and booths with linen tablecloths.

The professional staff is attentive, but will give you your space. If this is your first time eating Indian food and you need assistance in ordering, the staff will happily make suggestions.

The atmosphere is quiet and relaxed where you won't feel rushed to leave.

The lunch buffet at Saffron Patch, a perfect opportunity to taste and experience many Indian dishes, features a wide variety of food served in chafing dishes, kept fresh and well supplied.

The menu at Saffron Patch showcases traditional Indian foods arranged by Appetizers, Naan (clay-oven baked flatbread), Salads, Sides, and Entrees. All dishes have a description listed below them, so that you know what you are ordering. You may also custom order your preferred degree of spiciness -- mild, medium, hot, or very hot. There is also a large vegetarian menu. Every dish that I have tasted was excellent. Most meals include the most delicious Saffron rice and the meal portions are adequate, but not huge. A full bar is available with tasty treats, such as the tangy yogurt-based lassi, a thin, fruity mango milkshake. The dessert menu includes Indian favorites, such as rice pudding, gulabjamen, and mango and coconut ice cream. Pricing is fair for the food, although it can get expensive when you add all of the breads, sides, and extras.
