Well, its been awhile since I’ve blogged, but I wanted to share my cultural experience with you! On Friday, I visited Saffron Indian Cuisine and Bar, located on Ayrsley Town Blvd in Charlotte, NC (for more information, visit saffron-cuisine.com). It was my first time eating there and the experience was delightful! The waiters/waitresses were not overbearing, but they always checked up on me and asked what I thought about everything since it was my first time visiting. Great service! Here’s what I ordered and I would highly recommend it for your first visit:

Tandoori Chicken 11.95

Juicy spring chicken marinated in flavorful, mild, freshly ground spices, and roasted in the tandoori. Served with sautéed lemon and onions.

This isn’t spicy at all, the chicken has great flavor, which is even better on the sautéed onions!

Gulab Jamun 4.95

A succulent treat from North India made from a special dough, fired golden brown and served in a sugared syrup.

This dessert is so sweet, I found myself eating the syrup! Sidenote: There was much more in the bowl than what I’m showing…I took a few nibbles before taking the pic, lol!
