A Legacy of 20+ Years of Modern Indian Cuisine

A Legacy of 20+ Years of Modern Indian Cuisine
There are very few restaurants who can boast a legacy of 20+ years, but it is an accolade that Saffron San Carlos proudly holds. Founded in 2003 by Ajay Walia, with the support of his partner, Reena Miglani, it was crafted to be an unpretentious source of quality, modern Indian cooking, and a welcoming hub for the local community. The excellence of the menu, which updates classic Indian dishes with modern interpretations, quickly amassed a loyal following.
