Welcome to Saffron in Saugeen Shores!

We have been serving international cuisine right here in Port Elgin since 2012! Everything is homemade, including our bread and desserts. Just below you will find information on reservations and take-out!

Today’s Specials & Reservation Information

RESERVATION PROTOCOL

The best way to make a reservation is to call 519-832-9121 any time after 1:30PM on Wednesdays to Saturdays (and you can call after 8:30AM on Sundays).  If you wish to pre-order your food when you make your reservation, go for it!  Walk-ins will only be accepted if it's a slow night for take-out, (take-out is about 80% of our business, thus reservations are strongly recommended!) :)

 TAKE-OUT PROTOCOL

   For our dinner service, call 519-832-9121 any time after 1:30 Wednesdays to Saturdays to place your take-out order in advance (after 8:30 on Sundays for breakfast). The hours for pick-up are in 5 minute increments between 4:00-7:45 for dinner (and 9:00-12:45 on Sunday).  The regular menu is all available, plus daily features listed below.

Thursday August 13th (4:00-8:00)

‍ ‍For a take-out order or reservation, call 519-832-9121 any time after 1:30! The regular menu is available, plus the features below! We still have plenty of openings - give us a call! :) While there are lots of take-out spots left scattered throughout the night, the only dine-in spots left are before 4:30!

Soup:

Indian Split Pea! $8

Split peas, finely chopped carrots, celery, onions, garlic, ginger, bay leaves, cumin, black mustard seeds, coriander, turmeric, cumin seeds, and green chilies in this classic soup. You either love split peas or you don’t - for those who do, this soup is a winner! Not too hot. :)

(Vegan. Gluten and dairy free).

Appetizer:

British Curried Beef Pasty! $14

This is definitely big enough for 2 or even 3 people to share as an appetizer! Minced roasted beef brisket, peas and potatoes (seasoned with onions, garlic, ginger, curry powder, green chilies and black pepper) are stuffed in a homemade buttery crust similar to an empanada dough. It is baked until brown!

(Contains gluten and dairy).

Drinks:

Chai $4.00

Our famous hot milky caffeinated sweet tea made with cardamom and ginger. :)

Coffee! $3.50

We have partnered with Rabbit Dash/Dizzy Bird here in town to serve you a cup of their delicious "Saffron Blend" - a medium-dark roast with nutty, syrupy hazelnut notes, and a bright aftertaste!

Cold Drinks:

Ginger Ale, A&W Root Beer, Coke, Diet Coke, Sprite $3

Fuze Iced Tea $3

Perrier or Lemon & Blood Orange San Pellegrino $3.50

Main:

Return of the Indian Korma! $26 (Veg: $24)

This is a very intricate and delicious dish made with ground toasted almonds, butter, onions, garlic, ginger, green cardamom, cumin, cinnamon, cloves, fenugreek, coriander powder, garam masala, chilies, etc., cream, yogurt and spinach.  Served with basmati rice, our homemade naan bread, and a garnish of cilantro and DELICIOUS house-made crispy fried onions!  Truly amazing, and with premium ingredients (we make ours home-style more than restaurant-style)!  You choose either chicken OR cauliflower, green beans & carrots to get cooked in the sauce, depending if you want meat or vegetarian! :)  This is *not a tomato-based dish.

(Contains dairy and almonds.  Gluten free with extra rice instead of naan, or a GF tortilla +$1. Vegetarian with the vegetable version.  The fried onions are coated in a bit of cornstarch before frying and are done in a communal fryer with flour - so please advise us of any allergies).

Desserts:

1 of 2: Banana Caramel Kataifi! $10

THIS IS SO YUMMY. Shredded phyllo is baked in butter and then soaked in honey syrup! It is then topped with homemade caramel, homemade banana custard, banana slices and homemade whipped cream! A lovely texture with the crunchy bottom and custard-y top! Big enough for 2!

(Contains gluten, dairy and eggs).

2 of 2: Plum Cake! $10

A delicious homemade vanilla cake baked with fresh sweetened plums and a buttery oatmeal crumble. Served with homemade whipped cream and a drizzle of homemade caramel. Best warmed up! Big enough for 2!

(Contains gluten, dairy and eggs).

Please note that summer is officially here - this means that before we open at 4:00pm (or 9:00am on Sundays) we often have a multitude of take-out orders *already placed, as well as dine-in reservations. For July and August, call as early as possible to get your take-out order in to avoid disappointment! Jenn will try her best to update the website just above with each night’s status (how busy it is, etc.), but sometimes the phone rings so many times that it’s hard to stay caught up! :)
