Unlike the newest glistening restaurants in Nairobi with sleek mirrored dining tables and oversized chandeliers, Saffron Restaurant feels like a place of safety, home.\u00a0 Not over-conceptualized, Saffron\u2019s no-frills Indian comfort food is delicious, unpretentious, reasonably price and set in a decent setting \u2013 it\u2019s as good as it gets.<\/p>\n

Located in the Food Loft of Yaya Centre, a swankier version of your regular food court; don\u2019t let the simplicity of the operation fool you.\u00a0 Eight years and counting, Saffron\u2019s kitchen knows what they\u2019re doing.<\/p>\n

Saffron Restaurant\u00a0 <\/strong>is located in the <\/em>Food Loft on the second floor of Yaya Centre in Nairobi, Kenya<\/em>. The average meal costs Sh 900. To book, click here<\/a>. Special thanks to Eat Out Kenya.<\/a><\/p>\n


\n<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Nobody here will try to explain the concept of the menu, the all-organic vision of the chef, or how much a bottle of vintage champagne costs.\u00a0 No one will interrupt you as you\u2019re gobbling down delicious mouthfuls to ask if everything is fine.\u00a0 The service is swift and pleasant.\u00a0 Saffron\u2019s staff will simply look after you.<\/p>\n

The d\u00e9cor doesn\u2019t try too hard either.\u00a0 Yaya\u2019s Food Loft is a common food area on the second floor.\u00a0 Modern with clean lines and smooth surfaces for easy cleaning, the space is airy like a loft<\/em>.\u00a0 Nestled in the far right end of the cafeteria, in addition to its regular tables and chairs, Saffron enjoys banquette seating under the bright natural sunlight cascading through the building\u2019s windows.\u00a0 Fresh aromatic roses give the sleek tables some welcomed colour and life.<\/p>\n

The food has a thoughtful complexity.\u00a0 Take a starter described as papadums stuffed with paneer, potatoes and a blend of spices.\u00a0 The Papadum Rolls (Sh 300) with its crispy shell and sultry filling brightened by a generous mix of Dhania<\/em> (fresh coriander) excite the palette. \u00a0Chilly Garlic Mushrooms (Sh 550) \u2013 three words that are humbling, but out of which creates something memorable.\u00a0 The crispy texture of lightly battered and deep-fried mushrooms, plump with its own natural juices, then tossed and coated with a sweet chilli sauce, results in a burst of satisfaction with every mouthful.<\/p>\n

For the mains, there was the popular Chicken Tikka Jeera Masala (Sh 650) with its marinated chicken cooked in a creamy sauce with roasted cumin.\u00a0 Tawa Prawns (Sh 1300) cooked with onions, capsicum and tomato cubes.\u00a0 The garlic flavour ever so present is delicious and reminds you that carrying gum all the time is a necessity.\u00a0 The homemade dumplings cooked in a silky paste of spinach, Palak Kofta (Sh 600), was a personal favourite with strong ginger and garlic notes.\u00a0 The \u201cfamous\u201d Sheesh Kebab (Sh 600) was good, but it wasn\u2019t that<\/em> good.\u00a0 The mince meat was on the dry side and the texture was too firm for my personal preference.\u00a0 I would also stay away from the Cheese Naan.\u00a0 With the sprinkling of onions, the greasy bread tasted more like the beginnings of a pizza.<\/p>\n

We finish with tea as our waiter reappears for only the third time during our meal to offer some hot water steeped with lime to clean our hands \u2013 certainly an added-value for a food-court-like-experience.\u00a0 Affordable and offering value, Saffron is good.\u00a0 If you should not care about those things, then at least knowing that the food at Saffron is delicious will perhaps get your attention.<\/p>\n
