This restaurant bar and banquet is located on the Jadavpur Thana Connector of EM By Pass. Food is good and so is the service. Prices are affordable. But the place get a bit dark at late night after 10 pm. But the place provides good food at affordable price and great ambiance.
Its a good bar with reasonable cost near bypass. Staffs are well behaved. Less crowdy. Rooftop ambience was good. Foods were tasty I liked their fish finer with white sauce dips. Dips was very tasty.
Went to the bar. Right on top floor,a small decorated with bar sitting arrangement. Has got a smoking room.. Has a view right out the window. Loved it for casual drinking. Unfortunately only one variety of beer, Tuborg.
This area lacks a decent restro bar and Szafran makes up for it. The bar section is good with a good view of extended Kolkata through the glass windows. Service is slow, but then again most of the folks who come here, mainly look forward to spending some time over a couple of drinks and snacks. An added advantage is the fairly economical prices. Food is decent... you will be disappointed if you keep big expectations. It is fairly standard, nothing much to harp about.

Just now get out of it. I could give 4, but the reason I cut .5 is bcz of the pricing. It is lil over. Else a very good place for bachelor or a group of boys to hang out. A really cool place.
This place is one of the most visited places mainly due to the bar. There is seriously a lack of good bar cum restaurant on Prince Anwar Shah connector. They have a family restaurant on the second floor which is available only during the evening time. There is a lift which can take you up to the second floor and then you have to take the stairs to reach the roof top bar. The place is small but nicely decorated and clean.
Coming to the food, the starters are not bad. One of my favorite is barbecue fish. Coming w
to the main course, their Chinese items are not worth mentioning. We ordered mixed gravy chow and chilly chicken which tasted very ordinary. Same goes with their north Indian dishes though I liked their mutton roganjosh.
But their continental dishes are mind blowing. From fish florentine to chicken steak, they prepare it like a pro. I am absolutely mesmerized. I am going to stick to their oriental menu from now on.
Best of luck.
Food is good... the staff is courteous and friendly. The management is helpful, they provided a discount on special request. A must try. Booze might be available... don't remember if it is since it has been a while that I've been there
Loved the ambience with the roof top glass room. ..nice place to drink and timepass with frnds. Food is also good. All in all a good evening drinks and snacks venue.
I had seen this place ..quite a few times on the way to bypass..only once did I stop by as of now...we went to the top floor which is the bar section and it has large glass windows all over ..so you can get a view of partial Kolkata quite well from there...This particular bar section has a sports bar kind look as they have a TV where we were watching the ongoing cricket match..
The ambiance,staff and food is really good..
The best part about them which we liked is they had HAPPY HOURS even at 8 o clock at night..which is rare in Kolkata where most happy hours last till 7...
We had mostly been there to grab a drink so we just ordered cheese balls and fish florentine...the fish florentine was tooo good..
The price was also absolutely okay..
Will be visiting sometime soon again...
I have been there at least thrice in order to take parcel. The restaurant is not situated in the ground floor, so whenever I approach the place, the security guard asks me where I would like to go. Actually from him I came to know that there is a separate bar unit on the rooftop which I have never visited. On my clarifying I wanted to go to the plain restaurant, he would politely usher me to the lift and would accompany me and help me get down to the required floor. This is something I enjoy and appreciate.
The restaurant is ok in terms of ambience and the staff attentive. I mainly choose Chinese dishes and till date had no scope for complaint.

I never really heard about it before, until come September when I stopped my car on my way back home. I was looking for a nice and cozy place with good food for a reception party. Most marriage halls were booked and hotels nearby was not enough for my guest list of around 140. I met Bikas babu first at the Banquet (the plush hall of Szafran at the ground floor). I liked it readily since it is almost a brand new facility and a perfect fit for 150 guest. Fully air conditioned with 8 nos, 1.5 ton brand new split a.c. for an area of around 4500 sq ft, can take out your sweat in minutes. Booking was smooth with a mere token of 5000 INR only. You can bring your own florist or they can refer their own, you have the flexibility to deal deal with him separately. I took it from their reference and he did a fantastic job at a very competitive rate. Ultimately we had our party over there on 6th December 2015. In the mean time I met Amit Acharya, the proprietor, down to earth yet smart and cordial young man. We opted for Gold Buffet menu and it was an instant hit. The menu is really enough. You cannot taste it all from starter to desert if you are not really starving. Bikas babu the chief Chef has got magic in his hands. The food is more than delicious. The fish fry with tartar sauce is the best fry I ever had, the fish was fresh and sweet, Chicken salad, mutton kasha was perfect. The food was not oily or spicy yet a delicacy. Staffs were cordial and cooperative. I would recommend Szafran to all foodies and party people. Value for money restaurant

Everything else is wrong about the place but the food can cause multiple orgasms.

Szafran is an ill-maintained restaurant with shabby interiors and furniture. We were greeted with loud Hindi music of the 50s on Sony Mix on the LCD on the screen. The waiters couldn't have been more obviously suggestive of their disapproval of our presence which contributed, along with other customers, in them working on Diwali. The TV remote was allegedly missing, service was slow, tables not cleared properly and there were no responses to questions asked. There's a 'rooftop' bar on the floor above with no rooftop, where there was no service because alcohol was over for the day.
Not much more could go wrong. But it was Diwali and the watch showed 11.30pm. There wasn't any other option in Kalikapur so we decided to play along like other customers, eat and leave.
Little did we know that we were in for a big surprise! Mushroom, chicken and roti: best food that we had had in a long time. Just the right mix of spices, juicy mushroom and chicken legs simply amazed us. If only the place can renovate and can retain the GOD LEVEL chef, Szafran can be killing it big time!
Rating: 5 for the food. -1.5 for everything else.
Really nice place to catch up a quite drink. Food is awesome.Try the continental stuff,especially the fish,its the best you can get. Kebabs are too good.Always value for money.Love this place..!
The ambience is wonderful especially the rooftop bar. I am a frequent visitor and would specially recommend the continental food and kebabs. The staffs are helpful and u get good quality service. Also there is adequate car parking space. Would defintely recommend a visit to everyone.
It definitely has high potential. The roof top bar is visited by a decent crowd so you will never feel akward. The staff is very helpful. However, the younger service people require some more training. But overall its good food, good staff and definitely good location. All the best Szafran!!
I had my party there. It was paisa vasool. The environment is good and food is good. Also parking is very easy to get. The chinese and kebabs are pretty good. I definitely recommend the place.
We have been to szafran quite a number of times and each time i was impressed by the wide range of food...be it chinese,kebabs or continental.On top of that the stewards are attentive and try to help us choose the items and also suggest about the quantity we order so that there is no waste .Mocktalis are refreshing and now on top of that a HAPPY HOUR OFFER ON LIQUOUR IS ON from 12 pm to 7 pm.A must visit to this place for foodies and those who are keen to have drinks.
ITS A PLEASURE TO COME IN SZAFRAN. VERY GOOD FOOD.
AND IN ALCOHOL THEY ARE OFFERING 12-7 PM 1:1 IN ALL DAYS
AND FROM 7 PM ONWARDS 2:1. IN BEER ALSO
AMAZNG OFFER.
Nice place, good food, but the service could be better the waiters looked clueless, loved their grilled fish and caramel pudding i think the place is worth a try
.. roof top bar .. pretty pocket friendly... service is bit slow.. if you are hungry... Its not the place.. rather visit Szafran when a you are planing of a hangout with few friends in a not so crowded ,upmarket bar with good vfm dishes..
I gave my marriage anniversary party in Szafran banquet on 6th dec 2014. The ambiance was very nice, it was spacious and could accommodate 90- 130 people easily. we have chosen one of their menus and trust me they provided plenty of dishes in starters, main course and dessert. All my guests were too happy with the taste and quality of food and ambiance. They also have plenty of parking space. Staff were good. The only feedback I want to give about them is their washroom. Washroom was too small and it should have been spotless clean and also it would be better if they remove some furniture from the banquet hall which looks little odd. Rather they should enlarge the toilet which is too small. But the taste and quality of food was simply awesome, serving was done is very nice way. I recommend it.
If you're a student and expensive bars are not your forte, this is the perfect place to go. Decent ambience and cheap alcohol with a yet respectable and safe crowd makes this a very desirable place to grab a beer and hang out with your friends. I'd recommend this place.
Went there on 22-03-2014 and enjoyed the food. We ordered tandoori chicken, chilcken reshmi kebab, nun, kashmiri pulao, chicken butter masala abd schezwan lamb. All the food were tasty although they served little late. The price is reasonable and I recommend this restaurant as a good choice to eat over weekend.
We enjoyed the grilled lemon fish and shahi tukda very much. Both items here were really made well.
My friend who lives in Kalikapur frequently orders takeout from here.
Nice food. . I specially liked the pan fried noodles. Ambience was nice.. Price was also very reasonable .
I personally love the Chicken Biriyani. At 135+tax, the amount is a bit on the lower scale, but the taste weighs the balance. The Egg-Chicken Roll is quite big for one. The restaurant and the roof-top bar has a nice ambiance. Due to its location, people prefer take-away more than a dine-in.
Really Good food....although the price point is bit on a higher side. Chicken exotica was a nice surprise....assorted kebabs with rice(pulao type).....Kashmiri pulao was also good although meetha atar was a bit on higher side(can bland your taste buds depending upon your taste buds). Crispy Chilli baby corn was ok on the whole. Overall Satisfactory experience. Definitely has a repeat order potential.
