Saffron Grill Grand Bay - Verdun

Very highly rated Indian restaurant and had to try it as a tourist and it certainly attracted a big crowd of locals. Many thanks to the manager for assisting us with a table after they were really busy. The service was a bit poor, yes the restaurant gets extremely busy on weekends but I felt there was very little attention to detail and not one of the staff could advise whether you could offer other things besides the buffet items (lots of locals but very little info provided to tourists on what you can/can’t order). The food was pretty decent but lacked something. Being a buffet, it wasn’t very hygienic as people who ate with their hands used the same hands to use the tongs The food was tasty for some things and hit and miss for the rest. Felt they could offer more items for you to order at your table for the price paid. The desserts on offer were just ice cream and a local pineapple dish

Amongst all the Indian places.. I would recommend the buffet to the heavy eaters but beware of the naan. One of the non appealing naan I had; it would either be crackly or elastic given that it’s not freshly prepared. The management was kind enough to make a fresh batch for us but still far from the competition. The staffs were very active and the service was great but the quality of food was what we could expect from a buffet.. quantity over quality. Saffron grill at Grand bay ranks 4th on my list of indian restaurants in Mauritius, ahead of saffron Grill at Phoenix. Nevertheless, I would revisit hoping for improvements. Overall we had a nice family dinner in my humble opinion..

I went for the buffet today. Some of the reviews are correct about the place and setting being messy and crowded but that's to be expected during a buffet. I wouldn't recommend the place for 2 main reasons; 1. I'm a vegetarian. Non veg dishes kept being mixed with veg ones by customers. There were only 3 veg options; palak paneer, roasted potatoes and a dal. The food was ok but not great. 2. There was a caterpillar in the salad. The only thing the patrons did was to exchange my plate. I would strongly not recommend this restaurant.

Very friendly staff, their kitchen opens till 9 15 pm on weekdays. Very nice veg food, accompany with rice and aloo paratha. Value for money.

Amazing food and staffs are super accommodating and polite. Mr. Bhat is a gentleman and always takes care of his customers. Excellent manners and always smiling. Highly recommended for food quality and hospitality. 5 stars. Kudos.
