Saffron Indian bistro is the best place for great Indian food in downtown Norfolk. The food is fresh, hot and delicious and they have very generous portions. I highly recommend the Aloo Gobi, Gost Curry (watch out for the bones some of the pieces are small) and the Naan bread basket. The prices are competitive and a good value. The restaurant is clean and has plenty of seating to accommodate groups. Other reviewers noted slow service. We were there early for dinner and service was quite fast but you could see it slowed down as the restaurant got busier. I highly recommend Saffron Indian Bistro.

I walked in on a Saturday for lunch and was disappointed they did not have a buffet or lunch specials. I just could not find anywhere if they did it on the weekends. That is where my disappointment ended. The food was amazing. We tried the butter chicken, curry chicken, dal, and tikka. Everything was so good and there was unlimited refills of rice. We got a bread basket and the naan is amazing, especially the garlic naan. I would gladly come back but will try and come for the lunch buffet on a weekday. The service was great but they did give us the lunch special menu which got us excited only to be told they were not having any. I would highly recommend.

My favorite. Food and drinks always perfect. Staff attentive but also very chill. Naan and sauces are incredible.

I absolutely loved this place! It was my first time dining here and I must say that I am very impressed with the experience. Walking in, I was impressed with the decor and just how calm the atmosphere was. We were immediately greeted by a very polite man who sat us at a table immediately. We were then served with drinks and he took our order. Since this was my first time trying a restaurant such as this, he explained and helped to understand any questions that I had regarding the dishes available. They have a great lunch menu that is reasonably priced! Now to the food! I absolutely loved every dish that I tried! At the table, we had chicken biryani, lamb biryani, lamb kabobs, curry chicken with rice, and butter naan. I ordered the lowest level of spiciness And the food was delicious! The spices weren’t too dramatic but just right. I loved the sauces that were provided with each, especially the yogurt-based sauce that helps with easing the spiciness. You also receive good portion sizes for a reasonable price! I’d definitely love to dine here again, and I do plan on revisiting this location! The server was so attentive and made sure that we were satisfied and had all that we needed. I highly recommend dining here!

My girlfriend and I went to Saffron for a Valentine’s Day dinner, and they had a $70 dinner for two! It was a pick two of every part of the menu (appetizers, drinks, entree, bread, and dessert), which honestly $70 was a really good deal considering that we have about a meal and a half left in leftovers. We had the Veg Samosa and Tikki Chole** for appetizers, Goan Curry** (with chicken) and Chana Masala for entrees, garlic naan** for bread, kheer and Mango Kulfi** for desserts, and a Mai Tai and Blackberry Margarita** for drinks (** indicates the one we preferred, often by a long shot). Their chicken in the goan curry was especially good—it melted in our mouths and was very flavorful with the curry. They also have really good rice—according to the menu it’s steamed aged white basmati rice. Only reason I gave service 4/5 instead of 5/5 is that they had three guys handling the whole front of house which you could tell was just barely enough when more diners starting showing up—but they were all really nice and responsive if you asked for something. Definitely will not forget to consider Saffron for next year’s Valentine’s Day!

Kavid reached out to me after the bad experience we had, and you can truly tell he cares about his customers and his restaurant. He personally invited us back to sit down and talk about what happened, and it meant a lot to be able to share our concerns face to face.
He took the time to listen and made things right with us, which we genuinely appreciate. That level of care and accountability goes a long way. We will absolutely be back. Thank you again, Kavid.

My husband and I found this restaurant last minute for dinner—and we were not disappointed! The menu had a lot of options. The pricing was fair. The flavor was amazing! The staffing was good. The bar was great. Overall, this is a good pick for a couple’s dinner date. I recommend the Tandoori chicken wings!

I was really looking forward to my dinner since this place was highly rated on the Find Me GF app. Maybe I just hit them on a bad night, but our server was very impatient and did not seem at all knowledgeable about gluten free or dairy free options. There was maybe one or two other tables of 1-2 people… at one point, we were the only patrons, so I was put off by the impatience. He also suggested a couple of dishes but they weren’t listed as GF on the menu. Then he recommended I just get a salad. Frustrating for someone with allergies. As for the food, the rice was incredible. I doubt I will try the Norfolk location, again.
