Saffron Tree

A Rich Taste of India

Although Saffron Tree opened less than a month ago, it has already become a popular lunch spot in downtown Toronto. With their extraordinary North Indian cuisine, and their prime location on the corner of Gerrard West and Elizabeth Street, Saffron Tree is destined to become a favourite among those with an affinity for curry, garlic, and of course, saffron.

Owned and operated by Gurinder Singh Bedi, who has been in Canada for only four years, this new restaurant is a real treat. With gentle Indian flute music playing lightly in the background, it’s easy to forget that you’re in Toronto instead of exotic India.

Indian food, for those who don’t already know, is ideal for vegetarians. Although Saffron Tree does serve a large selection of delicious fish and chicken dishes, there’s a myriad of nutritious vegetarian options as well.
