I highly recommend this place to everyone! Here you can not only taste real colorful Indian cuisine, but also have an interesting time and learn a lot of new things. I would like to express my gratitude to the staff of the restaurant and its owner Sandip for their hospitality, high culinary skills and pleasant company.
We spent our weekends in Vitebsk, and went to Saffron for dinner. And this, in my opinion, was the best solution! After dinner, a heavy downpour began, there were about 10 minutes left before the restaurant closed, and we didn't even have umbrellas with us. Sandeep did not ask us to leave the establishment due to the end of the working day, but offered to stay longer, told us his story and invited us to the second hall. In the 2nd hall there were musical percussion instruments, Indian literature, comfortable sofas and much more. Sandeep gave me a master class on the percussion instrument glucophone, told me about the principles of sound production, and also talked to me about Indian music.
The next time we gather in Vitebsk, we will definitely visit Saffron again, because it is more than just a cafe!

We visited this wonderful institution with the whole family. It was cozy, delicious and interesting. My son appreciated the Chicken butter and chicken curry, I appreciated the chicken soup, everyone liked the mango lassi drink... The musical instrument "Staff of Rain" gave pleasure to my husband. Thank you for a great time! 1

A great place for lovers and not only of Indian cuisine. A very pleasant, homely atmosphere. Special thanks for the sincere and warm attitude of the staff (the girl seemed to communicate in three languages!)) We even got to know the founder and director of the institution, Kumar Sandeep, a sociable and amiable person. We took an acquaintance dish, we liked everything very much, you will be offered to remove the sharpness or make it brighter, in general, the attitude towards the guests, as if they had visited friends. We were very satisfied, we definitely recommend it. 😊😇

We went more than once. If you want to experience the atmosphere of India, Indian culture and cuisine, you are definitely here. The furnishings, tables, mandalas, books, musical instruments, staff and, of course, dishes are all straight from India. We do not come here to eat, because the cuisine is specific and unusual for us, there are a number of dishes that we really like, there are very unusual ones, we come to experience a completely different atmosphere and tastes in the center of Vitebsk.
We had a conversation with the owner of the cafe once. It was very interesting! He told me about himself, about India, made a route map, where to go, when and for what purpose to which city) dressed up specifically for the photo, told me about hang and how to handle it! In general, we spent a lot of time and were completely delighted! Do not hesitate, be sure to look into the second hall! We recommend it for new experiences and sensations!

Dear Sandeep! I have never met a more hospitable, kind, pleasant and enthusiastic owner of the establishment than you! In June 2024, you had a company of musicians, whom you welcomed in the best traditions! We held an excellent master class on playing the glucophone, sheltered during the pouring rain! They told us in detail about the menu, gave recommendations and offered delicious pita bread to our dishes. It turned out to be really tastier with him. Thank you very much for such openness, responsiveness and hospitality. I wish you to develop your business and get pleasure, satisfaction and profit from it!) When we get to Vitebsk again, we will definitely come back and try something new.

I must say right away that if you want a lot of Instagram photos, then you are not here. You won't find cool fancy interiors and all that. It's just a soulful place with very tasty food. I love going there. The host is very hospitable, and will talk, and will advise the dish. Cozy, without pathos, in the Indian style. There aren't many tables, but that's a plus for me. The walls are hand-painted, it is interesting to consider. There are musical instruments, books. You can ask for paper and markers. My daughter likes that you can play musical instruments, no one forbids anything and does not look askance. In general, for me it is a place where I can relax and eat delicious food. And the prices, by the way, are very affordable)

Saffron is a place with delicious and inexpensive cuisine, and customer orientation as in restaurants. We ordered a lot of different dishes on trial, we liked them all. They consulted on the menu: they talked about popular dishes, which is better combined with what, and clarified the level of sharpness. After the dishes were brought, they asked if they liked everything. She said that they did not notice the difference between slightly spicy and non-spicy rice, they brought additives to enhance the sharpness of the dish (for which they did not even charge). They didn't eat everything — they packed it for us. In general, the place is wonderful, I will recommend it to my friends!

A beautiful, very underrated place.
Delicious and inexpensive. Good discounts for students. The kitchen was pleasantly surprised. Moderately spicy dishes. Even unaccustomed to it, it was delicious. Large portions and desserts with drinks are unusual. Waiting no more than 15 minutes. I highly recommend visiting. The pleasant friendly staff and the atmosphere itself are very immersed in an oriental fairy tale.

A themed restaurant. They cook quickly. But everything is purely for the connoisseur and the lover. Not for everyone. One of the disadvantages is that there is no parking nearby, there is nowhere to park a car.

It was very tasty, pleasant and beautiful for me! The price-quality ratio is excellent! Och
We were treated very warmly!!!
If you are in Vitebsk, be sure to come here! We ordered Cheese cotta - a very hearty, quite tender and pleasant dish, with a moderate amount of spices. My husband tried Thali. Everything is also very tasty and beautiful. Mango Lassi (pictured), a drink with mashed magno, coconut, saffron and curdled milk - just a delight!!! One glass wasn't enough for me! In the second photo, cottage cheese balls and tea. The dough of the balls is quite bland (in my opinion), but the balls are very soaked in syrup. As a result, it turned out to be delicious in an oriental way! Plain black tea was served in a tall glass. I don't know what kind of tea it is, but the taste is rich and pleasant, and I know a lot about black teas.
I recommend it! I was in Vitebsk for the first time, and next time if I get to Vitebsk, we will definitely go to Saffron first!

A great place, initially there was doubt about visiting it, but after reading the reviews we decided to try it!
The cuisine is great: Indian pilaf, flatbread (with cheese; potatoes), butter chicken, Masala tea, dessert- carrot halva!
Everything turned out to be very tasty, the Indian atmosphere and light music added flavor!
Whenever possible, we will visit this place again!
Many thanks to the director of the cafe, who kindly shared the recipe for carrot halva!
I recommend it!

It is incredibly tasty, especially for those who like spicy food, and the prices are purely symbolic. The atmosphere of India is all around. The attitude of the staff is wonderful, very sociable and pleasant. You can also buy cool spices straight from India, and not only them. Now this place is one of my favorites)

The establishment is located just around the corner from the venue of the Slavic Bazaar. I went to lunch at about 16 o'clock. When I came, there was no one from the visitors. Even the music wasn't playing, it was turned on after the order. The interior is unpretentious, but there is a certain atmosphere in it.
I liked that the waiter was polite and immediately offered help with the selection of dishes.
I ordered butter chicken, rice, gulab jamun and masala tea. I liked everything. When ordering, they asked for the desired sharpness of the meat. Butter chicken is thick, the meat is soft. The portion of rice is good, the basmati rice is crumbly. The tea is good. It is often done frankly badly, as if you drink water with a drop of milk. Everything worked out here: the taste is quite rich, the spices are felt. I tried dessert for the first time. Delicious.
There was an Indian owner in the establishment. We had a little time to chat. It's great when the kitchen is set by someone who knows the recipe from the inside. It is significant that foreigners who look like Hindus/Pakistanis come here. I suppose it's for the taste of native dishes.
I recommend the restaurant to lovers and those who want to get acquainted with Indian cuisine.

A small Indian cafe in the basement. Friendly staff, a large selection of menus. The sharpness of the dishes can be chosen according to your taste. We took pilaf, mashed soup with chicken and stewed vegetables with cheese. The food is specific, for an amateur, maybe just not ours.

Delicious food.They offer to make dishes of different sharpness (if you like spicy, then they will make spicy and vice versa).The disadvantage is that the waiters do not understand it the first time.You ask them to make it less spicy, and they bring a fire dish (either they don't pass it to the cook, or they forget themselves).Therefore, you need to repeat it several times
Overall, everything is fine.A wonderful host.

Nice staff, good cuisine for a nice price. It is clear that they are trying to work on the institution, they treat its filling with a soul. But as for me, the interior, as well as the room itself, are quite tired of both time and lack of funds. But as for me, there is a reason, the lack of customers, the direction is still not popular with us.

We came to Vitebsk for the weekend, happened to pass by and decided to come in. We didn't spare a single gram. There is a pleasant Indian-style atmosphere inside. A very friendly cafe owner advised us on the dishes, all the food turned out to be super tasty, it seems to me that I haven't eaten anything tastier for a long time. And our whole company liked it, although we all have quite different tastes in food. A wonderful place, prosperity and prosperity to you.

We went with the children to try Indian cuisine. The first thing I didn't really like was the dirt everywhere: on the floor, on the table, in the toilet! Secondly, when ordering dishes, they asked to orient the menu so that it would not be spicy, since children would eat. The waiter said that all the dishes are not spicy. The pilaf was brought super spicy, even for me, although I like spicy. The third is the discrepancy between the declared gram of drinks on the menu and the drinks brought. They told the waiter about this, to which she shrugged her shoulders, said that she was not making the menu and that she would try to write and pass it to the owner, since he had flown to another country. And the fourth minus is that when calculating, the waiter simply said the amount for the order and after payment, the receipt was not provided.
Among the advantages are large portions and affordable prices.

Wonderful Indian-style cafe, polite host and staff. It's a pity that it was vegetarian, but now they cook meat there, which in principle does not differ from the rest. But the dishes are delicious, I recommend going and trying Indian cuisine. I would also add more Indian sweets, there are few of them.
