Where every spice tells a story.
A contemporary Indian table in the heart of Dombivli — heritage recipes reimagined with coastal produce, slow fire, and a little quiet theatre.
Rooted in tradition, plated for today.
Saffron & Sage began in 2016 as a small family kitchen with an ambitious idea — that the food we grew up with deserved the ceremony of fine dining, without losing an ounce of its soul.
We source spices from a single-estate farm in Kerala, greens from growers across the Konkan coast, and seafood from the morning catch at Bhau Cha Dhakka. Everything is ground fresh, tempered to order, and served the way our grandmothers intended — with generosity.
The result is a menu that feels both familiar and quietly surprising: a Malvani curry beside a saffron-cured scallop, a nostalgic dal beside a smoked-beet chaat.
"Cook with memory. Plate with intent." — Chef Aarav Deshmukh, Founder
A feast for every sense.
Warm brass, candlelight, and food you'll want to photograph before your first bite.
Chef Aarav Deshmukh
Trained in Mumbai and Lyon, Chef Aarav returned home with one mission: to give Dombivli a table worth travelling for. His cooking is precise, seasonal, and deeply personal — every plate a page from his family's kitchen diary.
Seasonal Tasting
A 7-course journey that changes with each harvest and the day's coastal catch.
Chef's Counter
Eight seats at the pass — watch, taste, and talk fire and spice with the team.
Private Dining
A curtained alcove for 12, with a bespoke menu for the occasions that matter.
Wine & Spice Pairing
Sommelier-led pairings and house cocktails built around Indian botanicals.
Loved by our guests.
The saffron scallop chaat is worth the drive from South Bombay alone. Easily the most thoughtful Indian meal I've had this year.
We booked the chef's counter for our anniversary and it was pure theatre. Warm, unpretentious, and every course better than the last.
Finally, fine dining in Dombivli that doesn't ask you to travel to Bandra. The dal alone has ruined every other dal for me.
