The lure of a good curry accompanied by buttery flatbreads is too good to be true. Dunking a piece of bread in piping hot curry is a tradition that calms one down, especially if they are North Indians. Not every restaurant is able to cook good North Indian food, it takes skill to get the balance of spices just right, which is why to help you out we have bought to you a fool-proof name that won’t disappoint you at all. The name ‘Zaffran’ is pretty well-known amongst the local foodies in Mumbai, as the brand has multiple outlets tucked into various corners of city, all of them easy to access.
