I went to hiranandani garden today and while leaving right on time for my dinner, was checking out some places around... and saw pizza hut... just next to that was Saffron Spice. Honestly, the entrance didnt attract me much but when i saw the 1st floor seatings from outside, it surely impressed me.
Thats when I planned to enter this restaurant. The welcome was very impressive, they have baby elevator to take us on the 1st floor and then a warm welcome by the staff.. the place was very spaced out and peaceful ~ the starters were nice.
Being a Jain, there were not much options but the panner starters and punjabi main course was tempting.
A little expensive as others say, but it surely doesnt shock you. It is worth it :)

This is one of the better indian restaurants around. The food is above average... i liked the mutton rara..
The ambience makes up for the taste as the place is quite spacious and done up pretty good.
The service is prompt and the service staff well trained.
Recommended if you are in powai and want to have a good full dinner.

One of the very few places in Mumbai, which is so generous with the seating. The tables are spread out nicely and you don't feel like the person on the other table can steal your food the moment u look somewhere else!
The ambience is excellent. The price is a little over the top, but with a healthy percentage of foreigners frequenting the restaurant, I don't think they have felt the need to reduce the price.
The veg food quality is supposedly good (I avoid veg food whenever possible!). The non-veg food wasn't too much to cry home about.
I would go there if I wanted to have a relaxing evening with my family and feel some space around me.
Unfortunately, I missed the bar the last time around.

Saffron & Spice
Cuisine- Indian
Location : Powai, Hirananadani, next to Pizza Hut
This is probably one of few restaurants in Mumbai which qualifies itself to be called an Indian restaurant, coz it serves dishes from different Indian cuisines eg Mangalorean, Maharashrtrian etc. Apart from Indian it also has a decent choice of continental food ranging from pasta to sizzlers and sandwiches
Ambience- The restaurant has a very classy minimalist ambience, French windows with drapping curtains, spacious seating and minimalist décor with few Indian artifacts on display and very good lighting. It also has a very interesting open lift which gets you to the restaurant.
Food: There is a good choice of food, the menu is also created in an interesting manner. Soups and Shwaramas (from Rs 65- 80) are a good way to start the meal. The veg and Nonveg soups are quite good if you’re looking for something light. Indian starters platter offer all the Indian starters ranging from the Paneer Tikka, Kabbabs one made out of channa and the other with roti is quite good (Rs 350).The portion size is also good. Vegetables are good and so is the choice of the rotis, the appam and vegetable stew south Indian (Rs 275) makes a good meal. However the veg sizzler at Rs 250 was very disappointing with hardly any vegetables and filled with cutlets and very little noodles. The veg pasta with red sauce was all right.
Although we didn’t try any of cocktails or mocktails they seem to have a good choice, they also have a lounge bar next door
Service- The service is friendly and quick
My recommendation – Good place to go if you have a group of friends or family who have diverse food interests. It makes it an ideal place to celebrate with family and friends or for a quiet romantic meal.
