Saffron Indian Cuisine

I ordered the shrimp biryani and it was very yummy and flavorful. The shrimp were well cooked and the spices were just right. Everything tasted fresh and authentic. We tried butter chicken and it was good also. I really enjoyed my meal and would definitely order again. Highly recommend this for Indian cuisine!

I usually order takeout but I decided to dine in for once and it was a great experience! Everyone is so attentive and kind, and was very communicative about the menu. I had the lamb samosas and tandoori chicken and everything was so delicious and flavorful. I get a new dish every time I eat here and each item has blown me away. I can’t wait to try more!

We ordered Malai Kofta with garlic and butter naan. The portion size of malai kofta was huge. Easily enough for 3 people. There was jeera rice that comes with it too. Tasty and heavy food which will probably make us dose off post lunch.

We started with cheese naan and samosas for all 4 of us and a bottle of Riesling. The service was fast and they were very attentive with the water refills. We questioned the spicy levels of all dishes as we all like spicy but don’t want it to be too hot to enjoy. Entrees came out soon after we finished the apps and we were pleased with the “spicy” rate (which the waiter told us was more like a 6 for Indian ratings). My butter chicken was excellent but I should have tamed it down to a 3-4 as my eyes were sweating! We had plentiful portions and brought home half of two entrees to reheat later (after adding some yogurt to tone it down!)

Loved this restaurant!! This was my second time here and from the pleasant floral smells at the entrance to the tantalizing smells of the food, it was yet another fantastic experience. The mixed grill was phenomenal, cooked so well!! The lamb biryani was also very tasty!! The lunch special of the lamb chettinad was a huge serving for a great price! The service was exceptional! We asked for more dessert and they gave us a container filled to the brim. We came from Miami specifically to eat here and ill definitely come back! I highly recommend for others looking for a great Indian restaurant.

Our first time at this restaurant today..stumbled upon it while searching Indian/halal food in Orlando. Saffron had some of the best reviews so we decided to check it out. It was way beyond our expectations, the service, the taste of food, servings, atmosphere, everything was simply phenomenal!! Thank you so much to the young gentleman, our server, for his exceptional service, and the manager for helping us set up our wifi and offering to help us take our pictures! Thank you!! We will definitely be back on our next trip to Orlando, and recommend this amazing place to our family and friends.

I had a good experience dining at this restaurant. The food was delicious and well-prepared, with a good variety to choose from. The portion sizes were generous, offering good value for the price. Speaking of value, the menu is reasonably priced, making it an excellent choice for a quality meal.

Good food, calm environment and friendly staff. We had a great luncheon with our coworkers during lunch time. The service was very quick and food was very delicious. And the prices were quite reasonable for the area and for their lunch portions in my opinion. We’ll be definitely coming back here again when we visit Orlando next time. I highly recommend this place if you’re looking for tasty, authentic Indian cuisine.

This place is excellent The mango lassi was out of this world & I consider myself a lassi connoisseur. The portion was tremendous. I will say this is first Indian restaurant in a handful I have eaten throughout United States that offers LARGE portion of the gravy. Loved that. Not skimpy and you get your moneys worth. We thoroughly enjoyed it. Next time we come to Orlando we will come back. Highly recommend this place.

Everything was so good! Have to recommend the shrimp app, palak chaat and rasmalai for dessert

Great dining experience. Thank you! Angelo, Ram and all the staff are great!! Food is amazing. We’ll be back. We felt the warmth and Welcome. Highly recommended.

I set up a full catering order today for my team and the group at Saffron was amazing. Everything was perfect! They gave me a time and everything was ready. the food was fresh and plentiful. I would recommend this place 10 out of 10 times.

Absolutely phenomenal. We came here on a Sunday right when they opened and they serve a weekend lunch buffet. All the food was fresh, hot, and delicious. The service was great as well...The momos, deal, noodles, butter chicken, and veg spring rolls all stood out. I will be coming back.

Saffron was a wonderful experience all the way around! My Wife and I love well-made Indian Cuisine and this really fit the bill! The ambiance in the actual restaurant is nice, casual and clean. The staff are all very courteous, professional and welcoming. We were very pleased with the flavor, the temperature and texture of the food and we will certainly be back!

INSANELY delicious and AUTHENTIC! Our family is obsessed with this restaurant and LOVE their Butter Chicken dish, Chicken Tikka Masala, and the Naan is to die for. Their Mango Lassi is so refreshing and tasty, words are hard to describe. Writing this review is making me want to go again already. The staff here is BEYOND exceptional. My 7 year old son accidentally spilled an entire mango lassi from a large to-go cup right at the door way as we were leaving the restaurant. We were having one of those days...It made the most ridiculous mess I was quite distraught and annoyed with my son. 2 gentlemen came out to rescue and did not make us feel one bit of shame or guilt. They saw I was frustrated with my boy and asked me to please don't be annoyed with him because it is 100% an accident and can be easily fixed. It was not easily fixed, I saw they had to bring out a hose and the entire staff had to work to clean it. I am eternally grateful. It was a horrid mess as you can imagine orange yogurt splattered everywhere at the entrance, on walls, on their white table clothes and their carpet as well as where their customers would have to walk through as they stepped in. I have not seen this level of grace from strangers and it really touched my heart. Thank you so much. This is god's love right here. I am so happy to know good people exist and the food is insanely delicious here!

The starter prawns were excellent as was the idli sambhar from their sister restaurant. Biriyani average at best as were the veg options (otherwise 4 starts) The waiter had a very 'no can do' attitude but otherwise served us well.

Great ambience! Vishal was our server and he was pretty good. We ordered - Chicken Chettinad - We felt the gravy was too oily but tasted good Butter chicken - Perfect taste Veg Biryani - We ordered medium hot but was missing the biryani flavor Garlic naan and Tandoori roti.

Authentic and delicious Indian food. We tried them out for the first time and were pleasantly surprised. The food was fresh, tasty, and authentic. They have plenty of seating and fun atmosphere with music playing in background. While food was great, I would ask for few more meat dishes on the Sunday buffet for the price. Another suggestion is for your servers to check up on drinks and needs after the first serving. the servers were friendly but more interested in chatting with each other. They seemed to forget and we had to ask for water and drink refills. Overall, their food was admirable and we would return. Highly recommended.

I would give 4.5 stars if google let me, I came here twice, and the food was excellent and very authentic. I ordered the Goat Biryani which was incredibly well done, the saag paneer - also awesome. Second time in, I ordered Tandoori chicken - which lacked some spice balance (not heat, I mean the tandoori mix, overpowered by lime), and I ordered the shrimp AK47, which tasted great, but the portion size was too small for the price. They are charging high prices, and they should be delivering 120%, not 90%. This place is holding back on its flavors and spices a little bit for the more 'general customer'. The chef back there is quite amazing and they need to be allowed to really shine. This restaurant would get a full 5 stars if it leaned into its roots more and made the experience more 'raw'. For example, serve chai in a clay cup, or at least a small glass cup, not in cups that the British use for their tea. Add some touches like the shahi mix mouth freshener at the end of the meal. Despite these minor critiques, the culinary talent here is clear. If the restaurant leaned further into its roots, it could easily deliver a truly exceptional and immersive experience. I look forward to returning on my next trip to Orlando.

Very salty food and always messing up the order. If you have any allergies and worried about cross contamination then avoid this place!

I had high hopes walking into Saffron Indian Cuisine on 7724 West Sand Lake Road, Orlando FL. especially arriving right at 11:30 a.m. on a Sunday when the doors opened. Unfortunately, the experience didn’t quite live up to expectations. My wife chose the buffet, assuming everything would be freshly prepared at opening time. To our surprise, every single item on the buffet line was cold — from the rice and chicken dishes to the biryani and palak paneer. If a restaurant opens at 11:30, the food should be hot and ready to serve. Cold curries and rice immediately take away from both texture and flavor, and in this case, the dishes tasted flat and lacked the depth of spices you expect from Indian cuisine. Based on this visit, I would recommend skipping the buffet and ordering from the regular menu instead. Buffet selections often feel like the more economical options, and here they were devoid of the bold flavors that make Indian food so memorable. I ordered the chicken biryani from the à la carte menu. It was noticeably better — aromatic and more flavorful than the buffet items. However, it still missed an important element. Traditionally, biryani is prepared by marinating the chicken and cooking it together with the rice so the spices infuse the meat and every bite is cohesive. In this case, while the rice carried some fragrance, the chicken itself was not well marinated and tasted bland on its own. It felt more assembled than thoughtfully cooked together. Another important point is pricing. The dishes are on the expensive side, and at those prices, the flavors and overall quality should be excellent. When you’re paying premium prices, you expect depth of seasoning, proper preparation, and attention to detail — not cold buffet trays or under-marinated meat. Service was the bright spot of the visit. The staff was friendly, attentive, and welcoming throughout our meal. Overall, not a terrible experience, but certainly disappointing. With better attention to temperature, flavor development, and consistency, this place could justify its pricing — but on this visit, it fell short.

Ordered Biryani and Saffron Chicken Curry Biryani felt like it wasnt fresh rice felt soggy or old cooked rice mix with their curry biryani sauce Saffron Chicken had very slight sweet undertone and this was medium spicy which we felt was ohk compared to biryani. Their garlic naan were good. Salt lassi felt like a combinaton or hybrid of their Raita served alongside biryani. All in all it was an ohk experience.

Poor service, never bothered to check back to see if food was ok. Wife wanted some yogurt sauce to add to her dish. Not a place I would bother to return.

Avoid at all cost, worst indian food we ever tasted. Had to throw out all the takeout we ordered. Stale tandoori dish and we found chick peas in mutton masala. Ruined our family dinner night

We ordered carryout for our New Year’s Eve celebration and were quite disappointed with the food. The vegetable dishes tasted noticeably sweet, almost like sugar was added instead of salt, which made the flavors very unbalanced. For a place with such strong reviews, the overall quality felt below average and not worth the price. We hope the restaurant takes this feedback seriously, as customers choose based on ratings and expect consistency. We were looking forward to a great meal, but this experience definitely fell short.
