I wanted to make butter chicken(new recipie) and did not have all of the spices so I decided to go down to Saffron foods and all I can say is that this store is FANTASTIC. I did not have time to make the Nan bread but found that they stock it(frozen) and it is the real stuff. I am making this dish again today for my staff so will be there again today. KEEPITUPGUYS.

What a great market to stock up your pantry. This place has every spice and nut you could wish for in a bulk bin at a much lower price than any supermarket. They also sell saffron for $ 10 a gram. It is from Kashmir and from what I could tell it is a long good quality saffron. Also the selection of Indian groceries is fantastic. I bought several packages of Mother’s sauces and maked one which was just delicious(the bf rate if better than take out). They even have Indian cooking utensils, kebab skewers and serving dishes.

Saffron is one of the most expensive spices on earth, however I have discovered it is one of the most inexpensive spice and bulk food stores in town. Saffron Foods in Henderson came recommended by my auntie, then I discovered my Indian friends frequented it and so I had to pop in to see what all the fuss was about. Now I am a fan. I find the selection of spices to be amazing, they have the star anise and the cinnamon sticks, different coloured mustard seeds and variations of paprika and chili powder. My spice rack is fragrantly filled to the brim thanks to Saffron Foods. When here I cannot resist the bulk bins with everything from coconut threads to almonds, here’s a secret they have the best bargains on almonds in this store. There is a lot of Indian, Pacific Island and other ethnic food, like bags of small dried fish which my girls found disgustingly smelly. To the rear of the store are pots and other cooking implements. Super friendly staff who are really helpful pointing you to the right direction.
