standout indian food in the grastronomic wunderland that is katong – I don’t usually come to this area because it’s a little far out of my reach, but the many good reviews of this place were too great a draw to resist. and they live up to it – indian food made modern, really in the style of masala zone in london, which I haven’t yet seen in singapore – I would say this is food that admittedly might play more to the mainstream consumer’s idea of indian rather than traditional fare, but it doesn’t detract from the pleasure of eating here, and judging from the clientele in this place – it might not be wholly unauthentic either.
you do pay for the experience though – prices are much higher than what you’d see at other indian joints, though merely on par with other new cafés/bistros. service is a little absent-minded sometimes – though this only happened with one of their waitresses – but the food is well good, and well worth coming back for.

My friends and I have visited saffron kitchen a couple of times already 
And so far, we’ve never been disappointed with the foods and services given. The price is reasonable and ambience is awesome, the restaurant looks like a western restaurant from outside but they are actually serving indian food.

*P.S You gotta try Tandoori set and butter chicken, I am sure you will come back to try for couple of times after you have tried once!

my family along with our relative from UK visited on 11-11-2012 around 8.45 pm. The table that we choose had stains which when told to staff, he replied"It was cleaned sir". without further arguing we moved to another table. We asked for warm water and jug of orange juice. we got water and jug without giving second glass.it was left for us to manage. we got glasses only when asked couple of times. The person who took order totally confused us and recommended wrongly. We ordered at 9pm and the food was supposed to come by 9.20. At 9.25 the manager- an indian lady came to us and kind of threatened us "any last order -our kitchen is closing", even before we got what we had ordered earlier. We managed to order some roti's in excess to avoid dissapointment. Food was OK..We had to stretch our hands out to get lassses refilled with water. My 8 yr old daughter wanted to have Hot chocolate drink while we were about to finish the dinner ~10pm. I guess its not difficult to make it specialy for a child. I requested to the staff for the child, but the manager refused saying " I already told you, that was the last order, you shold have decided earlier". When the bill came I expressed my displeasure of the overall experience at restaurant..Initially she said that the person who misinformed us was a trainee then me and my guest told her that ;its fine, but you should put a tag on his uniform as Trainee' so that we also can know and if needed we can seek help of senior staff to order..With this the lady got upset saying   "dont teach us how to train a staff", She was so rude that instead of apologising, said that it was we who don't undersstand how to order, we  are the ones who misunderstood. I told her that I would complain about her behavior to her senior, she then said "Go ahead, I know what I am doing"...She left without taking the credit card. After few minutes a guy came to tell that we have to pay the bill at the counter and not at the table...We payed the bill and left. I would not recommend this place. There are many other indian restaurants on est coast road like Kashmir and Bazaar where the food is great and service is excellent. Zaffron seems to be over-rated and definitely not worth even a try.
