★ 5★ 4★ 3★ 2★ 1Really an amazing experience at Saffire. Went for the lunch buffet and the food was fresh, tasty, not too spicy. The article was attentive and friendly. The restaurant is beautiful inside, looks to be capable of large gatherings, with outdoor seating. Highly recommended
September 10 · Vishal SharmaHaving dined there last evening after reading positive reviews, I found the restaurant to be quite lovely, with a beautiful ambiance. The menu appeared to be very appealing. We selected the lamb boti kabab, vegetable momos, and drums of heaven, and everything was delicious and flavorful. For our main courses, we sampled the shahi paneer and saag chicken, accompanied by truffle naan, malai naan, and garlic naan. The shahi paneer was particularly delightful, offering a unique flavor profile compared to other restaurants, and is certainly a must-try dish. The saag chicken and the trio of naans were also very enjoyable. The lychee mojito was also quite good.Our server, Nikki, provided outstanding service, and frequently checked on us.The only suggestion I would offer is that the red beans served with the vegetable momos could be improved. The beans lacked flavor and did not complement the otherwise delicious vegetable momos.
September 14 · jaswinder singhGreat new place. Opened only a couple of months ago so they're ironing out the details. Service is good but a little slow because they're overwhelmed. Everyone is very engaged in ensuring your experience is a good one. Very busy place for Saturday late afternoon. Food is excellent and reasonably priced. Our new favorite Indian restaurant. Will be back.
August 12 · M ScottoNew favorite Indian restaurant. The food is amazing & the staff is so nice. I can’t wait to come back
August 27 · Kristen OlsenSAFFIRE is the CROWN JEWEL of Commack.The owner Chani and and his hostess with the mostess Jasmine, are always warm welcoming. Every time I come it is like I am visiting family.Perfect place for a birthdays, anniversaries, cincenera, parties, anything. The owners are always ever accommodating.With decades of restaurant experience behind him, Chani never fails to disappoint his guests and neither does the food. Authentic, home taste with a restaurant style, keep you coming back for more. This food will make you want to shovel snow for a few hours only to come inside, warm up with a wonderful meal and take a good nap!The gorgeous blues and grays make the restaurant pop with color and a name of Saffire befitting it, is doing Commack a favor by giving it an aesthetic it needs.I look forward to taking my family and seeing everyone again, especially the owner and enjoying the wonderful food and atmosphere that this gorgeous restaurant provides.
