Saffron Cafe

I got a chance to eat at Saffron Cafe for our Valentine's Day date dinner. We made the reservations beforehand but had to wait 5-10 minutes before we got a free table. This place is small yet cozy serving a warm atmosphere for couples. Our romantic date was a bit disturbed by the loudness of a large group besides our table but once the food was served, we forgot everything around us. We ordered an appetizer on our server's suggestion that included avocados and oranges but couldn't hear the name properly due to loud noises around. For dinner, we had lamb, honey hen and fish kebobs. They all were the flavors I had never tasted before and the lamb meat melted right in my mouth. Yummm, simply thinking about it makes me hungry for it again:-) You gotta try the lamb there.
Wine was fairly priced. Our server was very helpful and knew what he was doing. Although we were full with our dinner, we had to try Tiramisu as recommended by fellow yelpers, and Oh my, it was awesome, fresh and a big chunk of it for only 7 bucks. Their coffee served its purpose tastefully with the dessert.
The ambiance of the place made sure we experienced the complete Moroccan tradition. Even the bathroom was decorated in a unique/cute Moroccan style.
All in all, would love to go back again. If you are a lamb lover, this place is a must try. Had a great date:-)

Pros:  Delicious food, small cozy atmosphere, friendly service, feature Groupon deals regularly
Cons: None really, I've enjoyed my visits here

I am a sucker for Moroccan and Middle Eastern food, so this place is right up my ally.  I've had authentic food while visiting Morocco, and I'll tell ya this really is it! Right off Pennsylvania north of downtown, this little gem is tucked away from view.  This is good new for me, as it is a small restaurant and would be much more crowded otherwise!  The staff is friendly, the food is yummy and the atmosphere is romantic and casual at the same time.

They have many appetizers, but I always sample the hummus when I go to restaurants.  The verdict?  Not the best in town (that title belongs to Egyptian in Broad Ripple), but not the worst.  It needed some lemon, but that didn't stop me from devouring it at my most recent visit.  The pita is soft and served warm.

If it's your first time here, you HAVE to get a tajine.  They have several dishes to choose from that are prepared and served in a traditional tajine.  It's a real treat, and something truly unique.  The way the food is slow cooked in the tajines makes it tender and flavorful.  I've had the lamb dish and the honey roasted hen, and both were delicious and succulent.  I also have tried the chicken shish, which I found to be tender and well seasoned.  The portion of chicken was small, but the price was right.  Try the saffron rice- yummy!

I have to say that I don't know why I don't come here more often.  It's the perfect spot for a date.  It isn't big, so this may not be ideal for large groups but I've seen small groups (5-8 people) in here before.  Grab your honey and come in for a meal you'll be thinking about for weeks after!

WOW , What a GreatDining Experience . Everything , and there was a lot of dishes brought to our Party of 6 Table was OUTSTANDING.
