Our story
Named for the two flavours that open our two kitchens.
Saffron is the North: the dum biryanis and kormas of Lucknow, perfumed and slow. Curry leaf is the South: crackling in hot oil before sambar, rasam and chutney.
Saffron & Curry Leaf began in 2012 as a tiffin service from a home kitchen in Vashi, run by two neighbours: one family from Lucknow, one from Palakkad. One cooked the biryanis and kebabs they grew up with; the other made dosas and sambar the way Palakkad’s homes do.
Within a year the tiffins were feeding a few hundred people a week across Navi Mumbai, and families were asking for wedding food. The restaurant opened in Sector 17 in 2016, with both kitchens under one roof and a menu that has never had to choose a side.
Today the next generation runs the dining room and the catering. Their parents still set the spices.
