Reviews for Saffron in Waco, TX
Well I found taste to be not up to mark as Indian food taste. The paneer 65 was not tasty. My frnds they like butter chicken and... lamb and prawns curry. But I have paneer kadai and it wasn?t that tasty. Okay okay experience it was. I had panipuri too thetaste of Paani was like jal jeera water..! Read more
Excellent Indian lunch, everything was seasoned nicely, piping hot, and delicious!! Server was knowledgeable, pleasant, and... efficient. My spicy entree 'chicken karahi' was wonderful ~ especially with the fluffy, light biryani rice. I didn't leave adrop on my plate! The beef samosas were the best I've ever had -full of flavor, with a great dipping sauce. Naan bread was alsoserved in a basket- fresh and good. The chai marsala hot tea was also very good. I appreciate being served on real plates, realsilverware with linen napkins, and hearing traditional Indian/Pakistani music. Read more
Fresh, delicious food with friendly and prompt service! The decor is simple but nice. Indian music plays softly. I had the... Bhuna Lamb (spicy) with Garlic Naan. The flavor was well-balanced and very tasty! I would like to try the buffet next time.It's served Saturdays and Sundays, 11 AM - 2:30 PM. Definitely coming back! Read more
Honestly I'm upset I cannot give this place 10 stars. This is my wife and I's favorite restaurant in Waco. Our favorite thing... to do is bring someone new here and it always lives up to the hype. If you have not been here go and order some samosas and anynumber of entrees. Also very important that you do not skip out on an order of Naan bread because simply put it is the best Ihave ever had.

Found this place on Yelp. Just looking for a quick snack before our dinner reservation later tonight. So glad we came in. The... service was super friendly and she helped us pick 2 delicious items. Veggie Samosa Chaat and Ragda Pattices with a side ofnuclear naan. Just what we were looking for! Wish we had time to eat more?.Everything looked so good Read more
Wow, my new favorite restaurant for sure! I have fallen in love with their food especially the butter chicken and Karahi... chicken! I wish it was possible to give more than 5 stars because they are the best by far! Every time I go I get take out andit is always fast, hot, perfectly cooked and delicious! The rice is so good I could eat it alone and be so happy! I highlyrecommend this awesome restaurant! Read more
Visiting Waco for the first time, driving down Valley Mills we saw this beautiful place proudly wearing it's name "Safron" as a... hat. Intrigued we had to stop to take picture and check out the menu. We were lovingly greeted by Lamisa. As she explained themenu I could see the dishes coming out the kitchen, each one smelled so good I could taste them. I ordered the butter chicken,plain naan, samosas, and chicken sheekh kabab, each one was freshly made and tasted so good we couldn't stop eating. Therestaurant was also beautifully filled with decorations that made us feel immersed into the culture. We cannot wait to visitWaco again, so we can eat here again! Thank you so much Saffron for such a beautiful experience! Read more
Oh wow! It's so nice to try something totally different than what we are used to. We have made Chicken Curry at home and love it... but the one served here was double delicious! My sister has been raving about Naan flatbread and I finally tried it. I orderedthe garlic flavored one and was hooked on first bite for sure. I ordered the Vegetable Stir Fry and my husband ordered theChicken Tikka Masala. The waitress just answered our questions but she wasn't very helpful nor did she make us feel welcome. Itwas our first time visiting and it took us a while to figure out what we wanted. Food didn't take long to come out and we willdefinitely be back for more! The sweet tea was good too. Read more
