Saffron Cottage

My family and I come here quite often and the food is consistently amazing. Service is always great, very friendly and welcoming. Best Indian food in the hills!

We always enjoy coming to Saffron Cottage. Delicious food and friendly service. Highly recommended.

The star is for the food, however everything else leaves a lot to be desired.

We ordered via Menulog but no driver was being assigned. I called the restaurant to ask if I could pick up the food and the manager instructed me in no uncertain terms to cancel the Menulog order - this was already paid for and no refund was offered/allowed by Menulog.

Upon pickup the manager insisted we pay again because he wouldn't be receiving the Menulog payment. We were unsure about this but he refused to give us our food until we paid and we had a hungry child at home waiting for a very late dinner.

After speaking with Menulog we were told the restaurant definitely received their payment as the food had been prepared already. So we were made to pay twice (~$120) and feel like idiots! He was rude, yelling in front of his customers and clearly lied to us to make a buck. Furious.

This place is a must visit if you are visiting Dandenong ranges. Upon entrance, I received a warm welcome from Hari and his team. It was delightful to witness. From here, my personal favourites are the chicken and lentil curry but also the chicken jelfrezi (a curry with a mix or chicken and veggies). I really enjoyed the Kashmiri naan and the veg somosas that I even ordered extra to take back home. I cannot wait to come back to try other menu items! It was really affordable, had a great ambiance and my family had an amazing time. Thank you saffron cottage for the wonderful experience:)

Had the chicken with mushroom and cashew. Was beautiful. Had a few pops of fresh ginger which was divine. First time ordered from this restaurant- home delivery. Very happy.

Really good experience. Delicious food, kind customer service, definitely going to come back. Great to see the business doing well after the tailend of the old management:)

Excellent service by the lovely waiter. Great atmosphere. Delicious curries, I got the Lamb rogan Josh medium, it was quite spicy but so good! My partner got lamb madras 'hot' and it certainly was hot but he loves spice and it was great. Highly recommend dining here, fab experience.

Worst nepalese dumpling and samosa i have ever had and the biryani was just curry and rice mixed together never coming back

Had such a great time at Saffron Cottage.
Thank you for your warm hospitality and yummy yummy food and dessert

Omg, mouth watering Momo, chicken chilli and Tandoori all i ate today. I insist all my friends to visit. Don't forget to try awesome desert.

The food was amazing, best Indian in the area by far. I keep going back to try new things. The owners have changed, they are super friendly and the food is so good. Butter chicken is delicious with a little bit of spice it's perfect. Goat curry is fantastic, really tasty. Rogan Josh and palak paneer are yummy and all their naans are delicious. Tandoori chicken is great.very happy with my orders. I will be back to try the rest of the menu:)

The best Indian food around. The staff were so friendly, the service amazing.the food was devine. You should definitely go check it out, definitely worth the drive.

Saffron Cottage was an EXCELLENT venue with the most exquisite & varied Indian cuisine served to you by their exceptionally well trained, polite & friendly staff.

Loved this place! I go to a lot of Indian restaurants and Saffron Cottage was the best in a long time.

Absolutely magnificent meal. Friendly atmosphere, the new owners are really pleasant, it was so lovely for the owner to come and have a chat with us. Wish them all the success in their business. Will definitely go back.

Beautiful atmosphere and friendly staff. Best Butter prown I ever had.
Definitely will visit again.

The worst place to eat at, plus the food is less for the money you pay. And the owner is disrespectful.

Wonderful.quality food, pleasant and happy atmosphere. I have eaten at Saffron Cottage 100s of times over decades and it never dissapoints.
