Saffron Indian Cuisine
Many Indian restaurants specialize in north or south Indian cooking. The difference between the two regions can be as great as between German and Italian restaurants. Saffron provides specialties from both culinary parts of India, however, including highly spiced vegetarian dishes from the north, and tandoori-based meals from the north.
