Excellent

The Chana was fantastic and the spice level was just right. Great if you want to add a cocktail to compliment your food choice.

Amazing service

The vegan options are delicious, and they were able to confirm for my partner that they *CAN* provide non cross contamination, even though the menu says they cannot

Pros: The server was extremely helpful and friendly, The Lassi was delicious, Aloo Tiki was so good

Cons: Some of the staff couldn't stop staring at me

Many vegan traditional Indian dishes

Saffron Indian Grill opened around September 2024 and is currently the only Indian restaurant in Eagan with labeled vegan menu items.

The interior is very nicely decorated with seating at the full bar or in the dining area. Vegan menu items are clearly labeled and include 3 appetizers, 3 soups, and 6 entrées.

I was so excited to eat at an Indian restaurant with labeled vegan menu items that I over-ordered but in hindsight it worked in my favor because now I have leftovers.

The Gobi Manchurian appetizer (crunchy cauliflower in the chef’s special sauce) was fantastic, as was the Dal Soup. I had Aloo Gobi (fresh cauliflower & potatoes with ginger, tomatoes & bell peppers) for the main entrée. It was so good I had to force myself to stop eating.

ABOUT THE SPICE LEVELS
There are 5 spice levels: Mild, Medium, Hot, Extra Hot and Extra Extra Hot. The “Extra Hot” spice level is “Indian Hot” which I found to be quite awesome with the Gobi Manchurian appetizer.
