" This restaurant is my new favorite for Indian and Nepalese cuisine! The Dumplings are so tasty, and they were spiced just right. It’s great that they cater to customers' preferences by asking how spicy they want their food. Each dish seems to be made with authentic ingredients, and that warmth can be felt in every spoonful. The decor is modest but comfortable enough. I will continue to support this gem! " (*Curated Review*)

" Fantastic! Saffron offers some of the best Indian cuisine I've tasted in Austin. Their specialties are not only authentic but also incredibly flavorful. I ordered the Lamb Curry, and it was absolutely divine. The service was friendly, and the wait time was reasonable, even on a busy night. I'd LOVE to see more variety in drinks, especially wines to pair with the spicy food. Will definitely visit again! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're looking for authentic Indian and Nepalese food in Austin, Saffron should be at the top of your list. Each dish we ordered was bursting with flavor—especially the Chicken Tikka Masala, which transported me back to my travels in India. The staff were attentive without being intrusive, and the dining space was bright and inviting. We even tried the Saffron Mutton and loved it! I arrived hungry and left satisfied, thoroughly impressed. A true gem in Austin! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a lovely dinner with friends at Saffron! The atmosphere was inviting and comfortable. We started with the Chaat that was bursting with flavors, and I followed that with the Lamb Rogan Josh. While the flavor was spot-on, I found the lamb pieces a bit tougher than expected. However, it was all worth it for the rich curry. Service was friendly, and our server made excellent recommendations based on spice levels! Would definitely return! " (*Curated Review*)

" Saffron is a delightful restaurant! Their menu is an exciting mix of dishes from both India and Nepal, and I appreciate how each dish is prepared with care. I was impressed by the variety they offer. The momos were delicious, and the spices were perfectly adjusted to suit my palate. I would have given a perfect score if the seating was more comfortable. Definitely planning to return for more culinary adventures! " (*Curated Review*)

" Saffron is a treasure in Austin! Their menu is bold and creative, with delightful pairings of spices that reflect both Indian and Nepalese cuisines. The Chicken Tikka was some of the best I’ve had, and the naan was perfectly fluffy and warm. I noticed everything was served promptly. The atmosphere felt a little casual, but the flavors made every bit worth it. Will be back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I stumbled upon Saffron looking for a good Indian restaurant in Austin and was blown away! The food was mouthwateringly delicious! The Chicken Saag and Garlic Naan were highlights of my meal. I couldn’t have asked for better service—it felt like the staff genuinely cared about our experience. The ambiance could use some work, but the food more than makes up for it! Can’t wait to be back.
