It is difficult to decide whether the biryani was better than the service. They were equally excellent and our server was hilarious cracking jokes. We will be coming back.

If you are looking for a great Indian buffet - Saffron is the place to be. Wide selection and everything tasted very fresh. Service was fantastic.
They also have a great event space.

This restaurant is the definition of a HIDDEN GEM. I genuinely don’t understand how this place isn’t packed with people. The food was delicious, and the buffet (available during the lunchtime) had a variety of options to eat to your hearts content. If you’re in the area this restaurant is a must try!!

This place was awesome. We went for dinner, not sure what to expect. The food was wonderful and the service was delightful. They will even help you order depending on your dietary concerns. Even though the front of restaurant is deceiving, don’t let that fool you! This place is a gem. The decor is thoughtful and romantic. And the desserts are delicious.

Absolutely Appalling Experience at Saffron Indian Kitchen, Houston
My recent event at Saffron Indian Kitchen in Houston was nothing short of a disaster, leaving me utterly dismayed and deeply regretting our choice of venue. What was promised to be a special occasion turned into a series of frustrating disappointments, highlighting a shocking lack of professionalism and attention to detail.
From the moment we arrived, it was clear that Saffron Indian Kitchen had failed to deliver on fundamental aspects we had explicitly discussed and confirmed. The absence of linen covers on the tables and chair bows was glaringly obvious, as well as no plates, napkins and utensils on the table making the entire setup look cheap and unfinished. This wasn't a minor oversight; it was a blatant disregard for the agreed-upon aesthetic and a significant detraction from the ambiance we had envisioned.
The technical issues were equally infuriating. The projector was broken, rendering it completely useless for our presentation. This is an absolutely critical piece of equipment for many events, and for it to be non-functional without any prior notice or a viable backup plan is simply unacceptable. It disrupted our schedule and forced us to scramble for alternatives, adding immense stress to an already chaotic situation.
However, the most egregious failing was the abysmal service during food distribution. We were left bewildered by the complete lack of stand-by servers while food was being served. This resulted in disorganization, delays, and a thoroughly unpleasant experience for our guests. It felt like a free-for-all, with no one to guide the flow, assist guests, or ensure a smooth and dignified meal service. This fundamental operational flaw speaks volumes about the management's inability to execute even the most basic event requirements.
In summary, our experience at Saffron Indian Kitchen was a catastrophic failure. The venue failed on basic decor, crucial equipment, and, most importantly, the fundamental provision of service during a key part of our event. It was a very bad experience that I would not wish upon anyone. Save yourself the frustration and look elsewhere if you value professionalism, reliability, and a positive event experience.
