Zaffran Delight Reviews
Found this place by accident on Thanksgiving night when we were in town and almost everything NOT a terrible overpriced tourist chain was closed. Came back two nights later before leaving town because it was so good.
Very tasty standards like saag paneer, chicken tikka masala, chicken kurma, naan, mango lasse, etc. Fast service, great prices, great location right by the Riverwalk and cathedral for tourists and next to the courthouse for anyone with business there.

Zaffran Delight is a family-owned Halal restaurant offering delicious Indian and Mediterranean cuisine. The atmosphere is bright and comfortable, often featuring Bollywood music and movies, with a quiet corner nook cafe feel. The staff is friendly, and the service is quick and efficient. Lunch specials are available at reasonable prices.
Specific meals mentioned include grilled tender juicy chicken fresh salad, which offers a good portion for the price, as well as spring roll, biriyani, butter shrimp, butter chicken, chicken curry (both spicy and medium), and chicken tandoori biryani. The food is described as fresh, made in house, and some of the best food in San Antonio. The butter shrimp and butter chicken are rich and velvety, while the chicken tandoori biryani is a big, bold, aromatic hit.
However, some reviews note that portions are not good for the pricing, with bowls around $19.99 compared to $12.99 elsewhere. The location is a little off, but it is downtown close to the courthouses and the famous love lock bridge, where Zaffran Delight also sells locks. One issue is that prices on Google images differ from the real menu; for example, the price of plain nun is $3.99 in real. Despite this, it is a worthy spot for great Indian food that is clean, efficient, and consistently delivering.
