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.

    Excellent all around. Great service and the atmosphere was super. The food was what I had hoped for. It is expensive however. Definitely will return but likely just for special occasions.

    The food was great. However, since went on a holiday, the service was really slow. I would usually be okay with this, but I think everyone around me was saying similar things and having similar experiences.

    The manager hosting at the door was terribly rude and most surprising in front of her sweet young host staff. Otherwise the food was spot on and the Barton Springs location serves up just as well. Thanks for the great food!

    Our visit to Saffron on Saturday night was very satisfying! The service is excellent and the food is really special. We love the scallops for an appetizer. They sauce they use with them is amazing. We both got fish dishes off the Indian selections and they were excellent. We have gone often in the past and are happy to start putting this wonderful, quiet gem back on our regular schedule.
