About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Vegetarian-friendly
  • Great for brunch
Saffron serves an eclectic mixture of traditional Indian Cuisine punctuated by the flavors of the Himalayas. Our food stand true to its roots and origin while we source most of our produce locally. All dishes, sauces, naans and desserts are made in house from scratch. We are proud to be the first restaurant in Austin with a dedicated Nepalese menu. Nepal is a land of many flavors, while many of its dishes are indigenous and indicative of its culture and people, while few are inspired by its immediate neighbors, India and China. Our Nepalese menu is a thoughtful mix of both.

    First visit. We loved the food. I wanted to try Nepalese food and got the chicken chow mien. Very delicious. My friend got Indian mushroom curry which she also liked. The garlic naan was the best I have ever had. We also got Kurkuri Bhindi , a new for us okra dish that was enjoyable. Very good staff. All welcoming. We had a late lunch starting at 1:45 on a Saturday so it was not crowded and quiet. Highly recommend.

    Our visit to Saffron on Saturday night was very satisfying! The service is excellent and the food is really special. We love the scallops for an appetizer. They sauce they use with them is amazing. We both got fish dishes off the Indian selections and they were excellent. We have gone often in the past and are happy to start putting this wonderful, quiet gem back on our regular schedule.
