Some of the best food you will find in this part of Austin and a top notch Nepalese/Indian restaurant for pretty much anyplace in this country. The food is perfect every time. Bring back the lunch buffet and I'll eat there three times per week. Service was excellent and everyone is super nice. Prices are great for what you get as well. Flavors just explode.Vegetarian options: Amazing across the board. The okra will blow your mind.

It's fascinating to me that this is a repeat now that I'm back in Austin after a seven-year absence. Joined by a friend, we did dinner with generous portions and attentive service. We had plenty to take home. Not a fan of overly spicy food, I would check on the next visit to make sure I don't get a whole entree of something I really can eat. The preparation, however, is still very interesting and authentic.
Delicious and enjoyable with a very authentic atmosphere in spite of it being fusion style cuisine!Vegetarian options: Haven't been able to resist getting the thali over and over but looking forward to sampling the rest of the menu.

I often come with my boyfriend, and food here is delicious and very fulfilling. They ask you about your desired spiciness level. There is even cashew free options. I often get the butter chicken with garlic naan and the mango lassi. I always end up being very happy because the food is soo good. The Paneer Tikka Masala is also very good as well as anything else from the menu!
I always come back to Saffron. I LOVE IT. Flavors are good. The paneer tikka masala, lamb rogan josh and paneer chili NEVER disappoint. Garlic naan was a tad doughy today but I'll let it slide! Already thinking about going back.

This is the best Indian food I've ever had in Austin. Their lunches are a good deal for a lot of food, and the quality is impeccable. Love this place!

Great indian food in north austin. We've been to many places and this is by far the best indian food we've had here. Everything was fresh and had great flavor. Service was perfect. If you come at a busy time you may have to park a bit down from the restaurant, but I've never had a problem finding something.
We were so impressed with the food at this restaurant! It's so hard to describe it's a sort of fusion. I guess it would call it. But the flavors and the textures and the combinations are just wonderfully delicious! I have not had one thing there that I did not like. You might try the Momos. They are dumpling type appetizers that are truly delicious!

I ubered some butter chicken tonight and it was great! It's my favorite Indian dish and I don't always love the way places make it but I definitely love it from here. The garlic naan was also yummy. I'll definitely be back.

We ordered takeout from this restaurant a couple of times and it has become one of our favorites for North Indian food. Everything we ordered was great (Paneer Tikka, Malai Kofta, Palak Paneer, Naans, Veg Biryani) and it reminded us of the succulent North Indian food you get at restaurants back in India. This will remain on our list for future orders.

I really enjoyed this cute fusion Indian style restaurant. I didn’t eat at the establishment but instead, ordered a to-go. Because they make everything from scratch, I expect about a 20-30 minute wait. I ordered a customized order. Spicy, Vegetable Tikka Masala, rice, garlic naan and samosas! Their samosas are about the size of a size medium hand, full of flavor, potatoes, peas, and other veggies stuffed inside of a fried wrap! But the real star of the show was their vegetable tikka masala. I got them to make it spicy and it was the right thing to do. It was so incredibly creamy, filled to the brim with fresh vegetables, all of the spices that you can expect in a traditional masala dish! It was hot and tasted perfect with the freshly fire baked garlic naan!! omg! I’ll be returning soon! They can count on that!Vegetarian options: YesParking: Plenty of parking lot spaces available for freeWheelchair accessibility: Ramos, wide spaces and great spacing between tables
