One of the biggest favorites at Zaffron's is their naan bread baked fresh everyday.

A typical lunch plate runs between $7 and $8.

A vegetarian curry plate inclues mixed vegetables, garbanzo beans, aloo sabzi, white Zaffron rice and naan bread for $7.

There's also their mixed plate for $7.50. You get chicken curry, keema, aloo sabzi, garbanzo beans, mixed vegetables, chicken, biryani rie and naan.

One of the store's secrets is their use of Zaffron.

According to the restaurant's menu: "Zaffron was named after the spice Saffron. Blooming only three weeks out of the year, it is quickly harvested by hand. Each flower will yield only three female threads (stigmas). This is Saffron with it's unique flavor and beautiful color, one of the rarest and perhaps the most expensive spices."

You can also dine at Zaffron's for dinner. A buffet that includes a variety of dishes will run for $14.40 for adults and $7.20 for children under six.
