Once again, Saffron did not disappoint! We've been several times and it's always so delicious. Strip mall atmosphere but really good Indian food. We started with the Saffron Scallops, perfectly cooked in a buttery saffron sauce. We brought the rest of the sauce home with some extra Garlic Naan and ate every drop. Entrees were Murg Shahi Korma (boneless chicken in a creamy cashew and pistachio sauce) and Madras Chicken (cubes of chicken cooked in a coconut and tomato concoction) and they were both excellent. We ordered them both "medium" but the Madras came out pretty hot (about a 6/10) and Shahi was fairly mild (about a 3 or 4/10. As usual, we took all the leftovers home and had two more small meals. Good value as the total, including generous tip and two beers was $95, which is great for Austin and the quantity/quality of the food. We'll be back when we want delicious Indian food.
