Came here with my dad when it was icy outside and it was the only thing open. Nice ambiance but was a little weird that we were the only ones there but understandable. Started with the samosa chaat which was solid but just missing a punch of pungent flavor. Then the gobi Manchurian which was crispier than a potato chip but solid. Then I got the naan and goat. The goat was amazingly tender but still just lacked some punching flavor. Wished for a flavor that would punch me in the face and make me ask for a mouthguard but this place didn’t have it. Solid all in all but don’t hold back on the spice and the flavor baby

The food is very good and delicious. Tried the chicken briyani the taste and spices are spot on! The portion is very large, one dining enough for 2 people to eat. Staffs here are very friendly and cheerful. For sure will come here to dine again!

I’ve been to this restaurant three times and I cannot stop ordering the saag lamb!! It is delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant. I’m sure someday I’ll start trying to butter chicken and other famous and wonderful Indian food but now I’m very partial to this dish! And there’s always plenty for another meal

Had a great experience at Saffron! We tried a wide variety of dishes — panipuri, pakoda, kurkure bhindi, veg chowmein, chicken drumstick, veg and chicken biryani, and chicken thalis. Overall, the food was flavorful and satisfying. The biryani was a bit too oily for our taste, but everything else was delicious, especially the kurkure bhindi and the masala chai — the chai was a real standout!
Even though we arrived close to their afternoon closing time, the staff was incredibly kind and accommodating. The service was warm, and the washrooms were clean and well-maintained.
Definitely a good spot for flavorful Indian food with great hospitality!

The food and service here is great! The staff were very attentive and helpful! They have clearly marked vegetarian/vegan options. The Samosas were very good!
We all got mocktails! They were so good!

I visited Saffron in Austin, TX, last week during a trip, and overall, the food was quite good. I ordered the Lamb Curry, which many restaurants struggle to get right, but Saffron nailed it. The lamb was perfectly cooked, and the masala and spices were well-balanced. The Butter Chicken was also tasty, and the Mango Lassi, while a bit overly sweet, was made with good quality mango pulp, though it wasn’t fresh mango.
One thing to note is that the menu is a bit overpriced for what you get. The young women serving us, who seemed like international students, were sweet and attentive. However, an older server or possibly the manager started closing up near our table and was speaking loudly with colleagues, which felt unprofessional and made the experience less enjoyable.
As for the interior, the atmosphere wasn’t very comfortable. Given the prices they charge, I would expect a more refined and welcoming ambiance.
In conclusion, while the food is worth trying, they could improve the overall dining experience to match the upscale pricing.

Lovely place with awesome Indian/Nepali food. We ordered chilly momos and saffron mutton. The mutton was good but had very little gravy. The momos were lovely. Customer service was excellent and we would definitely be back.

The food was absolutely FANTASTIC but the highlight of the evening was our server. Her name is Asika, I believe and she is a human Christmas tree. Unbelievably sweet, happy, and excited waitress that gave 5 star recommendations and was a pleasure to have helping us with our food choices & order. The cauliflower appetizer, the Chicken Tikka, and the Saag are hiiiiighly recommended. Everyone at the table looked cucumber (except me) and took Asika’s advice for mojitos and they got rave reviews. My wife got the ingredient list and made them at home the next afternoon. She said it was super refreshing. All in all, a great experience. We’ll be back.

This place is amazing, the food always delivers, but it’s the service that makes a difference. If you’re lucky to have Bose as your server, he’ll make your experience unique. Please tell him about your like and dislikes and he’ll make the experience unique to you.
I can’t wait always to come back!
