Saffron Indian Cafe in Durham is a little gem that truly celebrates the vibrant flavors of Indian cuisine! 🌟

I had the GSR Butter Chicken, which was rich, creamy, and bursting with spices - simply divine! My mom enjoyed the Chicken Korma, and we both left feeling satisfied. The atmosphere is casual, but the service is anything but; the staff is welcoming and attentive, making you feel at home.

Plus, their lunch deals are hard to beat! Definitely a must-visit if you're in the area... Highly recommend! 🍛✨
