Although I've only been here for the buffet, the food was great and the staff friendly and willing to answer any questions. Unlike a lot of Indian restaurants, the food was not over spiced or salty. Their dishes were slightly different from other restaurants' dishes and overall better. I can't wait to come back and try their Nepali dishes and their desserts.
I just loved the Indian Chinese fusion- Veg Fried Rice & Gobi Manchurian
Good food
Had the Samosa Chaat and Vegetarian Paneer Thali (pictured). Both excellent - very nice level of seasoning, and filling. While the paneer was delicious, the vegan Thali in particular had a lovely eggplant dish that really shined. Great service too! Definitely recommend and will be back.
My husband took me here for my birthday dinner and we all loved it- including my daughter who is only two years old. The staff was very friendly and our waitress Prakriti was incredibly sweet. Another thing I really appreciated was that the high chairs were clean, you rarely see that in any restaurant. I highly recommend this restaurant and we will be going back as soon as possible!
A very good Indian restaurant which is worth testing and tasting!
We tested several dishes and all of them were fresh made and tasty. If you are asked if you line hot food, keep in mind that what hot means for a truly Indian restaurant 😂. I did not cry but the food really was hot.
The sauce of the chicken meat was both delicate and delicious. The only thing that did not match my best other Indian restaurant place was the nan.
A special notice for the service: very good!

What a pleasant surprise to find such good Indian food that’s not overpriced or made only for tourist palettes.
This place has a great menu, so if you are looking for the typical Indian dishes, you’ll find them here. The magic is in trying out some of their other dishes! This time we tried the Goat curry and this is a can’t miss if you are dining here.
The appetizers were good but comparable to other places (special mention to their delicious mint and tamarind chutneys)
The Tikka was buttery and the spice level we chose (medium/hot) was great for those who like spicy food.
Can’t wait to come back and try additional items!
This place was so delicious!! I got a Achari Aloo Lamb Curry and it was so good! It had potatoes and lamb mixed in with a tangy pickle-ish spicy curry, and let me tell you it was incredible!!! It was like a explosion of flavor in my mouth! I highly recommend this place to anyone who loves Indian food and Nepali food :)
The food here is amazing. The employees want to help you as soon as you walk in. The place is clean, and you become so hungry as your nose welcomes all the yummy smells of food cooking. Addicted to the garlic naan, and this gal will never say no to Tikki Masala.
We were visiting Austin for a short trip and it was the only Indian restaurant with exceptional service and quality of food.
The flavors were spot on and most importantly the service was so warm and friendly. A must visit in Austin. The owner went out of the way to make us feel comfortable and ensured that our spice tolerance was taken into account. My 3 year old loved the food there too and that is quite rare !!! 5 starts all the way 🙌💫🙌
We can’t stop thinking about this food! We had the lamb kababs which were full of taste. I had the lamb rogan Josh and the lamb just melted in my mouth. My husband had achari chicken and loved it. We appreciated that the menu was so well labeled for gluten-free and vegan options. I didn’t have to worry about asking our waitress or getting something I shouldn’t. We will be back for sure because there are so many options to try.
OMG! The Gobi Manchurian was the BEST Gobi! Every dish we ordered was so delicious that now we don't have to go to downtown Austin! I'm from Long Island, NY and I wish Saffron would open a location near me in Port Jefferson.
This is an old review. We went there 2 years ago. This was on Thanksgiving and the only indian/pakistani halal restaurant that was open at that time.
I remember it was the best experience and best food we had had.
Initially, we drove to Austin from Houston for the oasis, but that was closed too, and not finding anything else, we found this open.
And I was so happy at the end of it all. The lady who served us was very nice too.
Overall, it was a great experience and great food.
