" Our visit here was wonderful! The vibe was nice and modern; I appreciated how clean everything was. The buffet had so many options that I found it hard to choose! I ended up having multiple helpings of their chicken curry and garlic naan bread. The staff members were attentive; drinks were always refilled. I feel like the portion sizes were normal for a buffet, but it would be nice to see more unique items. Overall, a great experience and I would recommend it to anyone visiting Tucson!

" My family and I had an incredible experience at Saffron Indian Bistro. We attended their lunch buffet and were amazed by the array of dishes available. Every item, from the saffron-infused rice to the tandoori chicken, was packed with authentic flavors, making our taste buds dance with delight. We loved how the staff was attentive and quick to check in on us, ensuring our dining experience was top-notch. The restaurant's ambiance was bright and welcoming, perfect for family gatherings or casual dining with friends. The only downside was that I wish I could've fit in more food, it was that delicious! We will definitely want to return soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" A cozy little gem in the heart of Tucson! Saffron Indian Bistro offers a wonderful buffet selection that really highlights the versatility of Indian cuisine. The paneer was exceptionally soft and delicious, and the curries were rich without being too heavy. I loved the atmosphere; it was clean and bright, making for a lovely lunch spot. The servers were polite and efficient. I would definitely recommend their buffet for a new experience with Indian flavors! " (*Curated Review*)

" Every trip to Saffron is exceptional. The versatility in their dishes truly stands out. Their lunch buffet offers great value for the price, and there's something for everyone, including vegan options. The garlic naan is definitely a highlight for me. The atmosphere is inviting and friendly, perfect for both casual meals and celebrations. The only challenge is that sometimes the restaurant can get a bit busy, but that’s just a testament to how good the food is. " (*Curated Review*)

" This is hands down one of the best Indian bistros around. The attention to detail in their food is so impressive. The lunch buffet had something for everyone, and I was delighted by the selection. The naan was fluffy and so good with every dish I had! The service was attentive but not overbearing - we felt just right. The atmosphere was vibrant but cozy. If you are looking for authentic flavors, Saffron is the place to go! " (*Curated Review*)

" This was our first time at Saffron, and it was superb! We took advantage of their lunch buffet, and each dish was more delicious than the last. The tandoori chicken was a standout for me, grilled to perfection. The atmosphere felt warm and welcoming. Service was prompt, and our server was knowledgeable about the menu. I appreciate that they had both spicy and mild options for various palates. I look forward to coming back and trying even more flavors! " (*Curated Review*)

" We tried the buffet and were incredibly impressed! The staff was kind and quick to attend to our needs. I loved the range of flavors in the dishes, especially the chickpeas and saag paneer. The temperature of the food was also very impressive; everything was hot and fresh. The ambiance was quite nice, providing a comfortable dining experience. However, I felt that the portion sizes could have been a bit more generous. Nonetheless, I will be coming back! " (*Curated Review*)
