Every dish on the menu was delicious and had sterling touch to it.”

Arjun did give us food tasting option in prior to the event thus, showcasing their professionalism.

I would say, the dishes were served with atmostcare and precision, making it a visual treat to cherish. The taste of each and every dish they had planned for the party were so apt and absorbingly good. I would truly acclaim and would for sure come for back for their lip-smacking vegetarian cuisine. They do have in-budget options for both venue and food”
“Hi, I had approached Saffron and Salsa for my son’s 6th year birthday at TFS. The way they greet you from the time you are at the place till the event is completed is itself so commendable. They do give lots of options pertaining to dinning and accommodation (if needed). It’s a complete one stop package for food and venue. Speaking on the food, I just love the options they have in terms of appetizers. Upon this, I personally loved their starters and unique tasty dishes.”
“It’s always a challenge to plan a menu and execute a good catering service, especially when the marriage is between two different communities from different parts of the country. Saffron & Salsa just as the name goes did a fantabulos job of bringing together Konaki cuisine & North Indian cuisine on our buffet spread for breakfast, lunch and dinner. From Majjige Huli to Malpoa rabdi; from Bisibelebath to Dal Makhni everything was crafted to perfection and had its authentic taste. The plates were coral, chaffing dishes & presentation was top notch and the service was loving and personal. Thanks team Saffron & Salsa”

The professionalism and the sophisticated touch they bought inn was so apt to the event. Many thanks to Arjun and Kudos to your entire Saffron and Salsa team. A 10/10 for the variety, taste, presentation and safe packaging.”
