First of all i don't write Review's that much but this cuisine... They deserves it. Being a asian boy and travel the whole world was always my dream and one of the weakest part was mine that i can't eat anything else expect my home dish so wherever i go i defo try indian rastaurent all the time and Saffron Indian Cuisine beat all other indian rastaurent i have ever been into. I came spain for the first time from London and nothing has disappointed me. Saffron Indian cuisine has the best tandoori chicken, i treid almost everything from their menu and i ate them all by my self. Atmosphere were amazing, music was classy, and the staff? So damn welcoming, they did a great job. I would highly request you to try their food especially Tandoori Chicken Definitely trying again when ill be coming spain next time,

A real Gem in terms of Desi food in Madrid! As I belong to Pakistan, Saffron Indian Cuisine offers authentic flavors that instantly remind me of Pakistan and Same for India who belong to India and Bangladesh. The menu has a great variety of vegetarian and non-vegetarian options, and everything we tried was delicious. The food was fresh and full of flavor, the naan bread came out fresh and soft, and the spices were perfectly balanced — not too strong, but very aromatic. Desserts was also outstanding and high rated by each of us. The staff were warm, welcoming, and happy to explain dishes or adjust spice levels to taste. The restaurant itself has a cozy, elegant atmosphere, perfect for both casual dining and a special evening. Highly recommended if you’re craving genuine Pakistani or Indian food in Madrid. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Great Indian in Las Tablas. The butter chicken and chicken Tikka masala were very tasty ! Garlic and cheese bread were our favorite.
