Reviews for SAFFRON Indian Restaurant & Bar in Orinda, CA

Great Indian food. Every thing was prepared fresh. Lamb chop and chicken tandoori were so tender and yummy. Highly recommend.

I wish them well and it's solid Indian food for Orinda with friendly service But our dishes were pretty soup-like and tasted ok... unfortunately, so runny that we could barely scoop it up with the Naan bread. Read more

Food and drinks were ok . Curries were good, Chicken biryani was not authentic dum biryani, in sizzler chicken was dry. It is... like any average Indian restaurant. Service was ok. They charge $5 credit card processing fee. Read more

Very nice restaurant. I’ve had a few of their traditional dishes and they are so delicious. The open kitchen is a nice... touch. The staff is top notch. Read more

I had my dinner at the Saffron Restaurant, I tried Saag after being recommended by the owner and I must say it was amazing, I... ordered Butter Chicken and in the breads section I tried Butter Naan, Garlic Naan, Keema Naan liked all but I enjoyed havingKeema Naan the most. For Starters we had Paneer Tikka which is something I really relished having. I would highly recommend thisplace to everyone, the staff is very friendly, great ambiance and great food!! Read more

Best Indian restaurant in the area. Tried them on a Monday night. The restaurant was busy and the service was amazingly fast.... Ordered appetizers and two curries. Loved the saag paneer and Chicken tikka Masala. Good selection of Indian beers. Veryfriendly staff. Read more

Went to celebrate a friend's birthday tonight. Walked in and got seated immediately as there was plenty room, it was very nice... and the booths were high. Unfortunately I didn't bring enough cash with me to order Naan but I got a Caesar salad withoutchicken, my son got Mac & cheese. I would've liked to order Indian food given the location, but short on funds so that's on me.The prices were decent for the area and my friend ordered Butter chicken and an extra side of rice as well as a MangoLassi. Really my only complaint is that all of the food took forever to come out. I got a Caesar but it took so long to get it,my son got Mac & cheese and my friend had nearly finished his whole meal before the Mac & cheese arrived at the table. I DOappreciate that they kept us in the loop for it being delayed, but man it took a while. All of the employees were very nice andrefilled our waters regularly. Also I think on the website the Caesar is listed as vegetarian bur Caesar by definition is notvegetarian as the dressing has anchovies in it. Read more

Good service, friendly staff, loved the patio dining. The food is good the portions a little bit smaller than other Indian... restaurants but it’s still great! Read more
