Saffron serves an eclectic mixture of traditional Indian Cuisine punctuated by the flavors of the Himalayas. Our food stand true to its roots and origin while we source most of our produce locally. All dishes, sauces, naans and desserts are made in house from scratch. We are proud to be the first restaurant in Austin with a dedicated Nepalese menu. Nepal is a land of many flavors, while many of its dishes are indigenous and indicative of its culture and people, while few are inspired by its immediate neighbors, India and China. Our Nepalese menu is a thoughtful mix of both.

    My family enjoyed our visit to Saffron. The Nepalese Vegetable Chow Mein had a delicious, unique blend of spices. My son had his favorite Indian dish, chicken Tika Masala. He said it was good, although he prefers it at his usual Dallas restaurant.

    Navigating the balance between efficient service and a relaxed dining experience can be challenging, especially close to closing time. It's understandable that staff may need to expedite certain processes, but it's equally important for guests to feel welcomed and not rushed. Perhaps a gentle reminder that patrons appreciate savoring their meals, even if the clock is ticking, could help bridge the gap between service efficiency and customer satisfaction. After all, the final impression is as lasting as the first, and a positive dining experience is about more than just the quality of the food. I left Saffron, having enjoyed the food, but not the rushed service. The service issue overshadows the overall experience, making it uncertain whether I would return.
