Saffron Indian Bistro

Horrible! We ordered chicken biryani which was more like Chinese or tomato rice. It was like rice mixed with Campbell tomato soup.

the place is very clean, the people there are very welcoming, & though it may seem a bit pricy, the food absolutely makes up for how much it costs. this is easily the best indian food i’ve had from any indian restaurant ever.

The food was decent, but it lacked authentic Indian spices. While all the other ingredients were present, the essence of Indian flavor was missing. This place might appeal more to those who prefer milder tastes. Also, the restroom doodle—what exactly are they trying to convey about India? It felt a bit off.

I honestly don’t even know where to begin. My friends and I decided to check out this Indian restaurant based on a recommendation, but it turned out to be a complete disaster from start to finish.

First off, the service was absolutely terrible. The young Asian guy serving us was completely uninterested and rude. It took forever to get anyone’s attention, and when we did, it was like we were a burden to him.

On top of that, there was some private party going on in the back, and the owners seemed more focused on their own get-together than on actually running the restaurant. The group was loud, obnoxious, and, to be honest, they didn’t seem to care at all about the other diners. There was this one large Indian woman , possibly related to the owner, going in and out of the kitchen, who was the worst of the bunch. She was practically throwing her weight around annd not least bothered about others. Yelling across the restaurant, and when they all stood up to say goodbye to their friend, they hovered over our table, cackling loudly, making us feel extremely uncomfortable.

Now, let’s talk about the food. Honestly, it was one of the worst meals I’ve had in a long time. We drove all the way from Page, excited to try some authentic Indian food, but it was just awful. The papdi chaat was a joke—basically plain, unseasoned boiled potatoes smashed on top of some papad with a dollop of yogurt. That’s it. No flavor, no spice, nothing. The naan basket kept tipping over because the naans were so big and the basket was so small (and the naan itself wasn’t even good). The chicken tikka was disgusting—cheap quality ingredients, bland, and poorly cooked.

I really don’t understand how anyone could actually enjoy this food, especially when it’s supposed to be Indian cuisine. It’s honestly shocking that this place is still open, with how bad everything was. The empty chairs and tables speak for themselves—no one in their right mind would keep coming back after a visit like this.

We won’t be returning, and I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. Save yourself the disappointment and find somewhere else.

If you are looking for authentic Indian food, Avoid at all costs.

Saffron tea - nothing to do with saffron or Tea

Fire cracker Chicken and orange chicken - frozen Chicken nuggets with some veggies thrown in. Even paneer gravy was hard and

Same with most of the food ..

Naan was the saving grace. Garlic and Paneer Naan were soft and fresh.

Service was good .. place was small and cozy

We drive all the way from Goodyear for this Indian food - it's worth the 45 min drive. They make everything to order and are accommodating to dietary needs. Loooove the papri chaat - it's quite unusual to find it on Indian restaurant menus. Wish they were closer! We won't touch other Indian restaurants in the west valley - they just do not compare. Saffron is owned by a wonderful family who makes extra effort to take care of their staff, especially through the pandemic. Highly recommend their butter chicken!

Me and my older brother just went over to this place, the food was good and it’s better than most Indian cuisine in AZ, there’s lot of options to choose from and our server was very kind and told us about the area.

Saffron is not just THE best Indian food in town, it sets the standard by which we measure all other Indian food restaurants. Even when traveling no other Indian restaurant has come close to the amazing food served by this wonderful husband and wife team. Sachin is truly gifted and my family is grateful that he shares this gift. Thank you!!

Food was good, not bad and not amazing. Butter chicken was good, naan breads were standard. Samosa and biryani were okay. I did enjoy the sauces on the side.
