Welcome to Saffron in Saugeen Shores!
We have been serving international cuisine right here in Port Elgin since 2012! Everything is homemade, including our bread and desserts. Just below you will find information on reservations and take-out!
Today’s Specials & Reservation Information
RESERVATION PROTOCOL
The best way to make a reservation is to call 519-832-9121 any time after 1:30PM on Wednesdays to Saturdays (and you can call after 8:30AM on Sundays). If you wish to pre-order your food when you make your reservation, go for it! Walk-ins will only be accepted if it's a slow night for take-out, (take-out is about 80% of our business, thus reservations are strongly recommended!) :)
TAKE-OUT PROTOCOL
For our dinner service, call 519-832-9121 any time after 1:30 Wednesdays to Saturdays to place your take-out order in advance (after 8:30 on Sundays for breakfast). The hours for pick-up are in 5 minute increments between 4:00-7:45 for dinner (and 9:00-12:45 on Sunday). The regular menu is all available, plus daily features listed below.
Saturday December 6th (4:00-8:00)
For a take-out order or reservation, call 519-832-9121 any time after 1:30 - the regular menu is available, plus the features below! We still have plenty of openings - give us a call! It’s been slower lately so the wait won't be more than 15 minutes! :)
Christmas Hours:
Because of the way the calendar falls this year, it makes more sense for us to close for a little period over the holidays (rather than opening and closing, which is troublesome for food safety purposes). Our last day open will be Sunday December 21st and we re-open on Wednesday December 31st, which is New Year’s Eve! If you want to book a “time spot” for takeout on NYE, you can do so any time, and then call back that afternoon with the actual order since we will have the specials posted by then - this way you can at least guarantee your spot. If you are ordering off the regular menu, you can go ahead and place the order :) We will also be OPEN on Thursday January 1st.
Sunday December 21st is our 15th Annual Breakfast Pajamas Party - come to breakfast in your pajamas, and your name goes in a draw to win a prize! If you wear a onesie, your name goes in twice! :)
Soup:
Caribbean Sweet Potato! $8
A pureed soup made with coconut milk, habanero peppers, onions, garlic, leeks, sweet potatoes, allspice, thyme and curry powder! So tasty (not crazy hot, just flavourful!)
(Vegan. Gluten and dairy free).
Appetizer:
Spinach and Feta Phyllo Rolls! $14
One of Jenn’s absolute favourites! Spinach, leeks, crumbled feta cheese, dill, parsley, nutmeg, chili flakes, lemon zest, black pepper, etc., cooked up and stuffed into layers of phyllo pastry brushed with butter. You get two generous-sized rolls baked until brown (topped with sesame seeds) and served with homemade tzatziki (yogurt, garlic, dill, grated cucumbers) to dip!
(Vegetarian. Contains dairy, sesame and gluten. Egg-free).
Drinks:
Chai $4.00
Our famous hot milky caffeinated sweet tea made with cardamom and ginger. :)
Coffee! $3.50
We have partnered with Rabbit Dash/Dizzy Bird here in town to serve you a cup of their delicious "Saffron Blend" - a medium-dark roast with nutty, syrupy hazelnut notes, and a bright aftertaste!
Cold Drinks:
Ginger Ale, A&W Root Beer, Coke, Diet Coke, Sprite $3
Fuze Iced Tea $3
Perrier or Lemon & Blood Orange San Pellegrino $3.50
Main:
Steve’s Personal Request (& Brian’s, too!): Return of the Hungarian Chicken Paprikash! $26
We bring this back often since we get many requests for it (Dev's Eastern European cooking is ridiculously good!) - the snowy, cold weather makes this dish taste extra good! Chicken breast pieces, bell peppers, onions, garlic, paprika, dill, caraway, tomato paste, sour cream and chicken stock cooked in this glorious stew. A generous portion is served over homemade spatezle (little boiled flour dumplings made with a hint of nutmeg and black pepper) and topped with a dollop of sour cream. Packed full of flavour, and very filling!
(Contains dairy and gluten).
Desserts:
1 of 3: Return of the Apple Pie Roti! $11
Big enough for 2-4 to share! Homemade dough that is rolled out and fried (like a Beaver Tail!), and dipped in a bit of cinnamon sugar. It is topped with an apple pie filling (apples, brown sugar, walnuts, etc.) and whipped cream cheese. Yum!
(Contains gluten, dairy and walnuts. Egg free).
2 of 3: Red Velvet Cake! $10
This cake was all the rage a few years back! A delicious homemade chocolate cake base (dyed with red food colouring) with a vanilla continental icing, the middle layer of which has added chocolate chunks for crunch! Delicious! Big enough for 2.
(Contains gluten, eggs and dairy).
3 of 3: Homemade Bavarian Cream Donuts! $6 each
These beautiful homemade donuts are fried up fresh and filled with homemade espresso & vanilla pastry cream! Topped with a brown sugar glaze! So good! These are not your average donuts!
(Contains eggs, dairy and gluten).
