Reviews for Saffron South in Austin, TX
Went for lunch. They no longer have a buffet. The menu is extensive. The food was hot, spicy and quite delicious. You can... customize your spice range, we opted for the sweat-inducing 8/10. If you like spicy hot, try the jalapeno naan. Read more
Host was very accommodating even though we got there close to the closing. Food quality was great. I am very skeptical about... Indian restaurants as most places claim to serve authentic recipes but all I find is a overly spiced fusion food in majority.Good Indian food does not equate to spicy food rather a perfect blend and balance of spice and flavor. Looking forward to tryingtheir other items on the menu. Paneer tikka was well marinated very moist and flavorful. Read more
Today was our visit here...and I can tell you it won't be our last. The samosas...so good! Our waitress was super helpful and... we ended up with 3 amazing dishes. I think Lamb Rogan Josh is my new favorite. Do yourself a favor and eat here tonight! Read more
It was my first time there and I have to say that I was impressed! The food was really good, very tasty, like homemade food. The... staff very nice as well. I totally recommend this restaurant if you like Indian food. Read more
Great service and great food! This is one of our favorite work lunch spots. Before covid, they had a buffet, but when we stopped... in for lunch recently we saw that it was menu and table service. Not to worry though, the food was excellent, if not better!Everything was freshly prepared and delicious. In fact I believe that I prefer the current setup. Buffets are great for quickmeals, but can sometimes not showcase the food in it's best light. Our meals were hot and fresh and very ample. The portionsizes are great and the value is awesome! There are plenty of vegetarian options (in fact, an entire menu section is devoted tothem) and they are clearly marked on the menu as vegetation. Check out the entire menu, though. There are some vegetationoptions hidden throughout. Will definitely be coming back for more! Read more
Delicious food and wonderful staff. Best Indian cuisine i have had in Austin. We ordered the classic chicken, chicken Tikka... masala, channa masala, and the chicken fried rice. All were delicious and can't wait to come back for more! They also havedelicious nann! Read more
All the food is clearly labelled vegan or vegetarian and the waiter was very knowledgeable about which items had dairy in them,... which was great since I’m lactose intolerant. The samosas were great and interesting since I havent had many samosas. Thesaffron goat was great, the goat itself was soft and tasty. The madras chicken was creamy and tasty. The briyani was decent - wegot it without meat. Everything we ordered didnt have dairy except the briyani, but the waiter was able to hold the dairy on thebriyani. Read more
Quite good Indian food. We shared two plates and the sauces were fantastic and seemed to have good spice punch. Naan was nicely... thin and perfectly cooked. The chardonnay they carry by the glass could be switched to a smooth buttery one for a greatupgrade. Read more
