Tucked into the Larchmont Commons Shopping Center, along bustling Route 38 in Mount Laurel, House of Saffron is a destination for lovers of Indian cuisine. With a vibrant menu that bridges traditional flavors and fusion flair, this restaurant is not just a place to eat — it’s a place to experience the rich diversity of Indian culinary heritage.
From the moment you walk through the doors, the aroma of freshly ground spices and slow-cooked curries sets the tone for a memorable meal. The atmosphere at House of Saffron strikes an elegant yet welcoming ambience, making it equally fitting for a casual lunch with friends as for a celebratory dinner with family. SJFS was proud to host a meetup here recently.
What truly sets House of Saffron apart is the depth and breadth of its menu. Diners will find a thoughtfully curated selection of classics such as Butter Chicken, Chicken Tikka Masala, and regional specialties that highlight South Indian, North Indian, and Indo-Chinese influences. A saffron-infused biryani section showcases fragrant rice paired with your choice of chicken, goat, shrimp, or vegetarian options cooked with aromatic spices and served with raita and salan.
But perhaps the most enticing reason to visit on a weekend is the restaurant’s lunch buffet, a deal that’s hard to beat. Every Saturday and Sunday, House of Saffron presents a lavish spread featuring up to 25 savory and sweet items — including dosa —for just $20. This buffet offers an ideal opportunity to sample a variety of dishes in one sitting.
From richly spiced curries and tandoori bites to comforting rice dishes and delectable desserts. Whether you’re a longtime fan of Indian cuisine or a curious newcomer, the buffet invites you to explore flavors you might not choose from the à la carte menu. Hot chai tea and a soft drink (cola) is also included with the buffet.
The buffet isn’t just about quantity; it’s a reflection of the kitchen’s commitment to quality and authenticity. Every dish celebrates balance with bold spices and fresh ingredients that are harmonized in ways that honor tradition while appealing to the modern palate. There is something for everyone to enjoy.
If buffets aren’t your thing, the restaurant offers an expansive à la carte menu during the week and on Saturday and Sunday during dinner hours.
In addition to its regular dining room offerings, House of Saffron provides catering services and event hosting, making it a versatile choice for family celebrations and larger gatherings. There is a separate private banquet hall on premises.
There is a lot of outstanding Indian cuisine in South Jersey. Add House of Saffron for its diversity and value. If you’re in the Mount Laurel area, stop by and give it a try.
