Azafran Indian Cuisine

This is a lovely surprise when you walk in the front door. The decorations are top notch and the ambiance is nice, and the food smells so good. There is a very complete beverage menu. Our food was delicious. I ordered the salmon and it was cooked to perfection. My daughter ordered the crab masala which was equally good. We had the mango mousse cake for dessert which is to die for. The staff is very attentive and friendly, and the orders are out quickly. If your looking for good food and a pleasant dining experience this is the place

Stupid tender, and had a lot of unction and 3 just the sauce was amazing, it tasted like it was mostly caramelized onions in a tomato sauce but really that and a bowl of rice would have done it. For dessert, gulab jamun. This was a good one. Strangely it was served warm on a cold [like chilled] plate, though that worked and whil
