Fine Indian Cuisine at Saffron, Trident Hilton

Recently, I had the chance to revisit Trident Hilton for a dinner with a client. Although I have been there many a times but I have never done a review for the place. There are a couple of restaurants that I have been to at the Trident Hilton: Saffron and Cilantro. This post is about Saffron, the restaurant that serves Indian Cuisine.

FresCo Restaurante in Ambi Mall

Here follows a review of the place.

We ate there a couple of weeks ago, and let me tell you up front – the conclusion is that we will definitely go back to it. But, here’s a little more detail about our experience:

All night dining in Gurgaon

Everybody gets midnight hunger pangs, and no one likes to cook up anything at night. But you don’t need to, because there are so many places in Gurgaon where you can go to get your midnight snack fix.

I put together a list of the ones I know. I have included those that are relatively safe to get to, and are in or near Gurgaon. Typically, you can get to any of them in less than 15-20 minutes from anywhere in Gurgaon (after midnight only).

Here’s the list:
