Recipient of the Michelin Bib Gourmand and numerous other accolades, Zaffron Kitchen is a popular dining destination for conventional Northern Indian cuisine with a modern setting and presentation. With a total of three outlets in Singapore, you can head over to any of the restaurants to enjoy savings of up to 54% for takeaway orders for their ala carte dishes or their bundle sets catered for 2 and 4 pax, which are available until 20 June. Alternatively, you can also place your orders for islandwide delivery via the Oddle link below which has their signatures from the ala carte menu as well as Bundle meals for 2 ($43/$59) or 4 ($100/$115) for you to choose from.
I have actually dined in at the East Coast outlet before and I fondly remember how good the Butter Chicken ($18) was as the chicken tikka had a nice charred aroma to it and when cooked in the rich gravy, the flavours elevated to another level, especially with the addition of tomato, cashew nuts, butter and dry fenugreek in the spice mix. This time round, even though it was a delivery, the flavours were still acceptable and this is the dish to complement with the tandoor-baked Garlic Naan ($2.50), as you can mop up all the remaining gravy with it. The naan is a vehicle for all saucy and gravy dishes, which also pairs well with the Palak Paneer ($16), a vegetarian dish of Indian cottage cheese cooked in a rich gravy with broccoli.
When it comes to Indian food, there is one quintessential dish that is the biryani, and the Zaffron Chicken Biryani ($16.50) has fluffy basmatic rice that is cooked together with the dum chicken masala. The marinate and spice mix permeated into the rice and chicken during the cooking process, resulting in a nice aroma and flavour while not being too spicy. A sharing dish that is perfect for groups will be the Tandoori Mixed Grill ($35) that has all the goodness coming out from the tandoor oven such as chicken tikka, malai tikka, fish tikka and seekh mutton kebab. When the heat gets too much, cool it down with the chilled creamy Mango Lassi ($7.20).
