Saffron Haveli brings its dining-room interpretation of a traditional haveli to Kent Terrace, using the idea of a welcoming house as the frame for an expansive Indian meal. Guests can reserve a table, collect an order or plan a catered gathering, which gives the restaurant equal relevance to a dinner for two and a larger celebration. The Mount Victoria location also offers events service, extending the kitchen beyond ordinary nightly dining.

Chaat and fried snacks are the most varied route into the menu. Onion bhaji, samosa and hara bhara kebab deliver crisp textures, while samosa chaat and aloo tikki chaat add yogurt, chutney and contrasting layers. Dahi vada takes a softer path through yogurt and tamarind, and chana chaat makes chickpeas the focus. Together, these dishes let a table begin with several distinct combinations rather than a single shared starter.

The platters turn the tandoor and snack selection into an easy group order. The vegetarian version gathers samosa, aloo tikki, onion bhaji and paneer pakora, moving from filled pastry to spiced potato and battered cheese. Its mixed counterpart combines chicken tikka, creamy malai tikka, seekh kebab and hara bhara kebab, giving diners several marinades and cooking styles on one plate before the curries arrive.

For the main course, the menu moves through chicken, lamb, goat, seafood and vegetarian curries, then opens into dedicated Punjabi, Indian-Chinese and vegan sections. Familiar choices such as butter chicken and lamb korma sit beside makki di roti with saag, while chicken and lamb biryani provide rice-led alternatives. Garlic naan and other breads make it straightforward to build a shared meal, and Indian sweets carry that same generous format through dessert.
