I'm not a South Indian food fan and I disliked dosa so much but after visiting this place my view has completely changed. Now I'm in love with dosa and if it's from SFC!♥️
We tried Egg chicken dosa, Schezwan chicken dosa and lassi and in my personal opinion Schezwan dosa is love they serve chicken seperately so you can customize your own mouth watering bite. Lassi was soo refreshing with the sprinkle of rock salt. Quantity is sufficient and quality is also gd at reasonable price. In veg paneer is also available and other options too so from my side it's a BIG THUMB'S UP👍

The Saffron Restaurant is located beside Readymade Centre, Sodepur. This one’s a South Indian Restaurant serving a variety of veg and non-veg dishes. The ambiance of the restaurant is pretty and the staffs are courteous and the service is good.

Items we tried :

1. Dahi Vada - The vadas were soft and the chutney tasted really good.
Rating - 4/5

2. Schezwan Chicken Dosa - The dosa was big and crispy, loaded with schezwan chicken, tasted really good.
Rating - 4.2/5

If you live near the Sodepur locality and love South Indian dishes, they you should visit this restaurant.

I have tried out this place a lot , however I have missed out on writing its review.
This is one of the 3 places which serves good dosa in sodepur.The other two being pramathnath and shibani sweets,but this one is a cut above them as it is a proper restaurant and not a makeshift eating place the other two.
We went there when my mother was having dosa cravings. We ordered rawa masala dosa,cheese masala dosa,idli and coconut uttapam.
The rawa masala dosa was obviously the star of the show.The masala aloo was served separately. The dosa was super huge and super crunchy.
The cheese masala dosa had decent serving of cheese.
The idli was soft and huge.
The coconut uttapam was kind of lacklustre.I would rather order masala uttapam next time or cheese.
The white chutney could have been thicker.I have had thicker white chutney at Haldirams.
The prices are in range of about 100 each.Total bill was 410.No separate taxes.
Oh and one more thing - a guy in the other table had ordered a chicken omlette. I couldnot stop myself drooling .It looked delicious. I will definitely order it next time.Recommended.

Saffron Food Cafe, known primarily for its South Indian delicacies is located just above our all time favourite confectionery shop 'Mio Amore', Sodepur.

Ambiance of this place is quite good and the best part is they do maintain the hygiene of this place.

I always prefer to to have Dosas And Dahi Vadas from here. They own varieties of Dosas from normal plain dosa to masala dosa and even chicken dosas. Prices are quite affordable and quality of food is also pretty good. In case of home delivery also, they make good packaging.

Overall, if u r searching for a place where u can enjoy some good, delicious South Indian foods specifically in Sodepur then u should definitely visit this place and enjoy some real treats. ❤️

Oh my god! This restaurant is bliss. The ambiance was superb. The seating was so nice. Celebrated my brother's birthday here. They were so well mannered and the restaurant is very well maintained.
Ordered Chicken dosas. Loved it. I never ever had something like this. It was so yummy and tasty. They serve the BEST chicken dosas. Firstly we were not so sure about it but then it turned out to be great!
Go and try it if you are lover of both non veg and south indian foods!

The plan was not to prance diet but appetite called for some healthy delicacies for lunch but at the same time it's requisite to maintain interspace from junk edibles and hence what could've been a better option than South Indian food.

Residing at Sodepur ( station road that leads to Traffic more ) just the opposite of Sriniketan Shopping Complex and comprising two floor edifice above Mio Amore, this venue serves literally dismaying South Indian nourishment in both VEG and NON-VEG catalogues as well as café-customary beverages and desserts at very reasonable price with no cavil in quantity they serve.

Special mention goes to the attendant named Mr. ABHRO who was chivalrous as well as non-manual in his hospitality and also came up with informative enlightenment regards placing our order as far as Quantity is concerned.

📯 Best place for South Indian Delicacies 🔊

: Framed :

✔ Cheese Butter Chicken Dosa ( INR 200/- )

✔ Spinach Chicken Dosa ( INR 180/- ) ♨️♨️

{ This particular was in their Winter Special Menu recommended by Mr. Abhro }

🍹 MOCKTAILS 🍸

✔ Green Mango ( INR 80/- )

✔ Black Current ( INR 80/- )

The ambience is utterly serene with an approx 18-20 accommodation capacity on the 1st floor and during occasions or heavy rush they open the 2nd floor as well.

Service is worth commendable. 👌🏻

♨️♨️ : : Highly Recommended

Disclaimer ▶️ Unbiased review based over my experience and it's a must visit for those who LOVE and also for those who doesn't love South Indian sustenance.

You will find this place just opposite of sodepur sriniketan, just above the mio amore outlet. The restaurant has less space, but they have made good use of the little space they have. There's a coffee day machine installed as well, which serves cappuccino and latte coffee. The place specializes in so many different kinds of dosa, you can find non-veg dosas as well. We ordered Paneer dosa, cheese dosa and plain masala dosa. The quantity is enough for one person. Not only does the dosa tastes great, but also all the 3 accompanying chutneys and sambar are of good quality. Price is reasonable. Really, got to have truly great dosa after a long long time. I am gonna recommend this place to everyone.

This restaurant was on my bucket list since a long time. As i love South Indian food a lot and it was very close to my office too, me and my colleague decided to hit this place after work. This restaurant is located just beside Mio Amore. The ambiance of this cafe was nice, Small and cozy and they have ac too , so don't worry you don't feel uncomfortable at all.
Coming to food we ordered 2 masala dosa and 2dahi vada. We thought that masala dosa was over priced cause one masala dosa cost 100/- but after got our masala dosa, we realized that it was really big and one dosa can fulfill two tummies. Taste was really nice and worth it for sure.
I'm not that fan of dahi vada but still it was quite good.

Overall a very nice experience..

The first all South Indian cuisine serving restaurant in Sodepur, the place is a must visit for an authentic experience. The outlet opened after I left home, so wasn't able to pay a visit until it was nearly two years since it opened.

The ambiance is decent for a family dinner and cozy enough to hang out with friends. The food is, as mentioned earlier, a decent replication of what one can get down south (having the experience of being in Tamil Nadu for over a year). The varieties offered in Dosas is specially appealing, given there is usually not much tinkering done with the original recipe.

A family dinner planned on a Saturday and we ordered Butter Paneer Dosa and Egg Masala during our visit along with tea and coffee. The dosas were crisp on the edges and soft as one moved inwards. The amount of filling was adequate and tasted surprisingly good. The texture and blend of the ingredients were perfect and complemented well with the accompanying sambar and coconut chutney. The restaurant however, serves coffee and tea made out of a Cafe Coffee Day machine, so it might not be an exciting prospect for office goers. But if one considers just the food, it is every way worth the time and money.

If you are staying in Sodepur and you are searching for South Indian food nearby then this is the place to be.

🔹️Venue:
The Saffron Food Cafe is located above the Sodepur Mio Amore nearby the shops of Readymade Centre. So this can be easily traced out without much efforts.

🔸️Ambience:
This is a small food joint and not much spacious but you will manage to grab a corner in normal days. So as the name suggest the decor of this outlet is just like a cafe, beautiful and subtle.

🔹️The Food:
So we decided to check in this place after our shopping. We ordered 2 plates of masala dosa and 1plate of paper masala dosa.

Masala Dosa:
The Masala Dosa tasted good. But the USP of this joint lies in the fact of their sambhar preparation and few other chutneys they serve with the coconut one. The Sambhar has the blend of authentic sambhar masalas along with the veggies. The consistancy of the gravy was thick unlike the most other places where it is generally bland and watery. The green mint pudina chutney and the red masala tomato chutney are the extra add ons to satiate your taste buds with variety. And yes you definately get the coconut chutney which is my all time favourite. So here giving 4/5

Paper Masala Dosa:
Everythings remains the same as I mentioned earlier. The sambhar, the potato masala, the green mint chutney, the red tomato masala chutney and the coconut chutney. Well, the difference is that this dosa has the "crunch factor" so it aptly earns the title of paper. Definately 4.5/5

👨‍🍳Service:
The service here is also unique. The staffs here are allocated with different duties. There is man to take order, another man to serve then another to provide additional help and so on. Still I feel the service can be a little prompt, so 3/5.

✔Overall experience is good with this place. I have earlier tried out their paneer masala dosa and egg masala dosa all these were equally appetizing. If you wish to infuse non veg then definately they have options for egg and chicken. So I'll hit this place whenever I have craving for South Indian items.
