: I can confidently say that the food at @saffron_restaurants in San Carlos is the real deal! The flavors are authentic and truly reminded me of street food back home in India—not overshadowed by western twists, which is so rare to find in the Bay Area. We tried several snacks from their Happy Hour menu, and yes—it genuinely made me happy! The prices are reasonable, especially considering the elegant ambiance and sit-down service of this upscale Indian restaurant. If you’re an Indian food lover or just curious to explore authentic Indian street food flavors in the Bay Area, this spot is a must-visit. Their Happy Hour runs daily from 2:30–4:30 PM, and here are some highlights from the menu: - Masala Chai Pot (perfectly spiced and comforting) -General Tso Cauliflower (an Indochinese twist that hits the spot) - Onion Bhaji (crispy, golden perfection) - Samosa Chaat (tangy, crunchy, and addictive) - Chicken 65 (crispy, spicy, and full of flavor) - Masala Fries (a total flavor bomb) - Pav Bhaji (classic, buttery, and comforting) - Paneer Pakora (served with green chutney—of course!) - Bhel Puri (crunchy, fresh, street-style goodness) - In-house Brownie (don’t skip dessert!) Drinks range from $5–$7, including draft and bottled beer.
