" Had an excellent experience at Saffron! The authentic taste of the food truly shone through, especially in the Saag Paneer. I could taste the various spices they used, and the paneer was perfectly soft. The staff were friendly and attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed. One concern was the cleanliness of the table—we waited a bit long before it was wiped down. Still, the food made up for it! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently discovered Saffron, and my taste buds are thanking me! The menu features an extensive range of options, including gluten-free dishes which I appreciated. The Chicken Biryani was fragrant and packed with flavor. I’m excited to try the other dishes next time! The service was also quick, but they seemed a bit rushed during the peak hours. Overall, I loved the experience and will recommend it to my friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" I love coming to this place! The flavors are always vibrant and exciting. The Chicken Curry was exceptional, and the service was efficient and friendly. The ambiance may not have a lot of style, but I feel at home every time I eat here. They have a good selection of vegetarian options, which is a big plus for me. I look forward to my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow, Saffron Austin continues to amaze me with its delightful dishes and friendly atmosphere! I've visited a number of times, and they never disappoint. The Vegetable Thali offers the perfect variety for lunch, and every item is well-seasoned and freshly prepared. The servers are always welcoming, making me feel like part of the family. I honestly can't recommend this place enough. If you're indecisive, just go with the thali—you won't regret it! " (*Curated Review*)

" Saffron is an underrated gem! The last time I visited, I ordered the Goat Curry and was overwhelmed by how rich and flavorful it was. The spices were spot-on, but I found the meat a bit tougher than expected. Our server was helpful in suggesting dishes and made the experience enjoyable. A bit of a casual vibe, but the food is why I will definitely return! " (*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.
