This place in Apex was delightful! From the outside, it doesn't seem as spacious as it truly is…read more There are two rooms, one for dining and one for lounging. However you can order food for both. The decor is amazing inside the lounge where we sat. There is a huge, huge screen on the far left wall which plays music videos, hopefully they'll show some world cup games. My idea so hope you get me VIP status. Our host PRAVIN did a terrific job. He was attentive throughout even though the lounge had at least 30 people. His ability and confidence in suggestion menu options was uncanny. The food is most certainly spicy, even if you get mild so I'd ask for a small sample prior to unless you like the heat. We followed his advice with the topical mango chicken and wow, it was spectacular. Then the drinks, very well crafted. ** update Berison and Cleron were fantastic this next time out! Thank you

Food is great. Paying for food is not!…read more I visited Saffron on 12/15/25 and when it was time to pay they came by with a handheld pay device, I quickly tapped my card not realizing that I needed to choose the tip beforehand. I asked if I could do it over to add a tip because I did not have any cash on me and the server said don't worry about it. Well I should have worried about it because my lunch total should have been $14.06 and they went ahead and added a 30% tip after I left for a total of $18.28 according to my credit card records. I did not authorize that amount and I don't appreciate the dishonesty when I tried to make it right by asking to do it over and add the tip.

Biryani? More like Mango Masala Mystery…read more Walked into Indian Bawarchi in Apex expecting biryani... walked out questioning my life choices. Ordered the boneless chicken biryani--was it Hyderabadi? North Indian? Nope. It was something entirely new: Sour Surprise Biryani, featuring what felt like a handful of amchur (dried mango powder) and a complete lack of actual biryani flavor. I'm convinced someone in the kitchen confused the spice rack with the candy shelf. Tandoori appetizer? Sizzling, yes. Memorable? Meh. Garlic naan was decent--if only naan could carry the whole meal on its doughy shoulders. Service: 3/5 Two waiters, two tables, one manager--sounds promising, right? Not really. We had to remind them we ordered biryani (you know, the main dish). "Oh, you ordered biryani?" Yes, my guy. That's kind of the whole point. Also had to clear our own table like it was a self-service picnic. Ambience: 4/5 Nice space, clean, decent vibe. Sadly, ambience doesn't come with a side of flavor. Total bill: $50 for a biryani, tandoori chicken, naan, and lime soda. Felt more like a fine-dine price for a college cafeteria meal. Verdict: Come for the naan, stay for... well, maybe just the naan. Biryani fans, enter at your own risk.

The food is delicious and they definitely can make it as spicy as you want it. We came at an off time (2-3pm), but the staff was still attentive and the food came out quick.

In general, I've had solid experiences here, but I'd say the quality of the food isn't quite as good as some of the other Indian restaurants in the area. For example, the lamb saag is not bad at all but I've experienced better elsewhere. Obviously there is a lot of strong competition, so in any other city, Nazara would definitely be a stand-out.

I didn't realize when I first searched nearby and found this location, but it has multiple cuisine spot. I remember thinking as I was driving over that 'man I wish she liked Indian food' because I hadn't had any in some time. Much to my delight when we got here, I discovered not only were their Thai and Chinese inspired stuff, there was a nice large selection of Indian options. She got some chicken lo main, and I got palak paneer. She got some spring rolls, and I got my favorite Samosas. I introduced her to the papadum and chutneys that were given before the meal and she was a trooper and tried them all. Food arrived, was hot, fresh, and delicious. With the samosas it was too much for me to finish my palak paneer and I'm eating it now as I type this up for lunch on Sunday. Lo mein was well liked, she doesn't have a spice tolerance though and a 3 was a bit much for her. she said the spring rolls were great, and had finished off the lomein she brought home by Saturday night. Really great place you should check it out, they do delivery and stuff, but it was great to go in somewhere in person and enjoy a meal. Not a giant seating area but plenty of room to come in sit down and enjoy stuff.

Overall: Anjappar does a fantastic job consistently, would highly recommend you try this place out…read more Food: The food here is consistently good. I've been here for both the buffet and the normal dinner and both offer high quality Indian food. Service: The service is fast considering the number of people inside at any given time. The buffet times are usually a bit busier, but even then the service is fast. Ambiance: During buffet hours the ambiance is what you would expect from a buffet place, plenty of seating inside and outside. During normal hours they convert a portion of the inside into dining, which offers up more seats inside.
