We have tasted several Indian restaurants in US and this is the most friendly one that we have been. Great taste of the food, good flavor. The best butter naan we have tried. Clean, sanitized, well decorated, awesome service ( manager always taking care of costumer satisfaction). We had a great birthday experience. read more

I absolutley love this place. Very authentic food and beautiful flavor. Very kind people as well. The lunch buffet is a great opportunity to try different things if you're not sure what to get. My favorite dish is the Malai Kofta! Also, a fantastic place for vegetarians. Give it a try! read more

Good food. Their chicken tika masala is pretty good. I also recommend the naan. Want to go visit on their lunch buffet. read more

Wow, Saffron Indian Kitchen is awesome! This is a full menu Indian restaurant with incredible food, service, and a really pleasant atmosphere to eat in. They have several types of Naan Bread, all baked fresh just before serving and all super delicious; the Garlic Cheese is incredible! Menu is huge and everything I have tried there is very good. They also have a lunch buffet which is a great way to sample many types of Indian Food. Service is fast and they are all so nice. Highly recommend to anyone; worth a drive if you're not close by! read more

Horrible experience here. The short wait was the only thing good here. I paid over 60$ with tip, for a pickup order and when I got home I eagerly opened up my bag. They only gave me one of the items I ordered. By the time I realized what was missing I gave them a call to let them know that they shorted my order and I asked for a refund. They refused to refund me and told me to contact my back to stop payment. Check your order when taking out. Now I'm hungry and out 49 bucks because EACH ITEM ON THE MENU WAS OVER 20$ and the Biryani was mediocre at best..Good luck here. read more

Taste good, nice atmosphere, polite people, maybe one of the best Indian restaurants I've ever been to (tried about 15) read more

Saffron Indian Kitchen - Buffet menu Taste really good - Indian Near Me - Montgomery, Alabama

See all

Found after a day of thrifting. Everything we had was delicious. Even let me sample the homemade ice cream. Was the right choice

We had dinner here last week and it was incredible! You know it's good when the restaurant is filled with other desi customers. The service was exceptional with patient and friendly staff members. We ordered tons of food including the chicken biryani, chicken 65, malai kabob, naan, tandoori roti, butter chicken, kadai chicken, tandoori chicken, and saag. Everything was delicious and I would definitely visit again. My top favorites were the chicken 65 and the butter chicken! read more

Hi everyone, I am stopping by to say...if you love Indian food you have to check out Saffron. We had Butter Chicken and cheese and garlic Naan bread and of course rice comes with it. The customer service is wonderful and inviting. This is the best Butter Chicken I've had since being in England many years ago. I just wish I lived closer ! If you don't go, your definitely missing out! I have no pictures because we are our food too fast. Sorry! read more

This was the perfect spot for us. We wanted a quiet evening meal with excellent food. Saffron delivered in every way, including friendly gracious service. We had the saag paneer, chicken tikka masala, and kaju curry. All were delicious. read more

I took my fiancé here for Valentine's Day dinner. Neither of us had ever been to Saffron. The food was exceptional. The service was great, and they had Valentines Day decor and were giving roses to all the ladies. I will definitely return. read more

I'm not one to complain about a restaurant or write bad reviews, but the food, namely the lamb in the rogan josh was so tough that it was uneatable. The lamb also did not taste good, probably mutton from an old sheep. They did not even give us a knife to cut it until we asked. They offered us more of the same when we mentioned how tough the lamb was, as if they would be any better. They ultimately gave us a $3 discount off a $25 meal that I couldn't eat much of. read more

DELICIOUS!!! Tried this restaurant out with a party of 9. Everyone was happy with their meal and several ordered a second To-go entree. The service was great, the water stayed full, the food was fresh. Also their naan is sooooo good! Check them out soon! read more

The food was amazing and the service and staff were above and beyond! I would definitely recommend

Yummy! So good! I love this place so much. They give VERY generous portions and the people who work here are very friendly and accommodating. Their fried rice is wonderful, their samosas are addicting, and their yellow lentils are delicious! I would eat here EVERYDAY if my diet allowed me! You won't be disappointed read more

The best Indian food I have ever had and I have traveled the world. Great service and the staff are super friendly. So glad to hear they are opening one in Birmingham. read more

Well Montgomery is full of surprises! How about a terrific Indian restaurant and I mean really GREAT. Don't expect starched tablecloths here- the decor is simple but nice and clean. However the food is outstanding, 5 star quality food, not at all americanized, in fact what I'd expect to find in San Francisco, Los Angeles or NYC, not In the South where BBQ and fried chicken reign. The owner of Saffron Indian Kitchen explained she changes her dishes each day. Laying out smaller portions so it needs to be made fresh each day and isn't wasted. We arrived a half hour before closing when you'd be lucky to get anything or dishes can be old and tired... not at Saffron. The dishes were all fresh and tasty and unusually high quality, especially at a lunch buffet. They had the traditional rice pudding, but theirs was made with high quality saffron and rose water. They have vegetarian dishes as well as goat or lamb curry. Then have a special dish like the shrimp mailei from the South. They try to feature dishes from all the major regions in India, everything is made from scratch! This is one Southern Belle I'd like to see succeed. read more

I came here with a friend for the lunch buffet. We both really like Indian food and she had been suggesting Saffron to me for awhile, so we decided to go for lunch one day. Saffron is definitely the best Indian restaurant in Montgomery. All the other restaurants I've tried have had somewhat bland food, but Saffron's buffet was absolutely delicious. Everything was spiced so well (in terms of spice flavoring and in terms of spicy/heat level). I honestly enjoyed everything I tried from the buffet. I can't remember the name of the dish, but I really loved the dish that had diced potatoes (kind of like a hash) which appeared to be pan fried. They had some heat that would build up over time, but they were just sooo good. The fried naan (again, I can't remember it's specific name) was incredible. I hadn't ever had it before, but I couldn't resist sticking up on it during every trip to the buffet line. It only tasted even better when I dipped it in some of the tikka masala. My only complaint is that the naan on the buffet was never refilled while we were there, so we didn't get any fresh naan to try. I didn't mind this, however, because I was so content with the fried naan. The employees were very nice and attentive to us the entire time were in the restaurant. I believe the buffet was about $13, which is expensive for a regular lunch, but is totally worth it when compared to the quality of the food. I believe my favorite Indian restaurant where I used to live had a very similar price point for its lunch buffet. read more

Great food and neat environment. Good selection on buffet at this unique Montgomery restaurant.

Oh my lord, I would eat here every day if I lived in Montgomery. I had the Vegetable Chettinad with garlic naan. My husband had the Lamb Keema. All of it was absolutely outstanding! Plus, all of the staff were very nice and accommodating. The chef explained how my dish was from his hometown. It was one of the best things I've ever eaten. I highly recommend this place, and I will be back soon. read more

Me and my cousin really enjoyed the food. Hoping they will have samosas on the weekend buffet sometime

Great Indian food that satisfied our craving. Everything's made fresh to order, so it might take a little longer for dishes to come out but it's worth the wait. Naan is delicious too. Even their mango ice cream is made in-house. read more

If you are in town and you miss this place, you have done yourself a wrong. This is probably some of the best Indian food I have had. Better than any Atlanta restaurant. We got an assortment of plates. Dosa, pratha, chaat, chicken, lamb. All was excellent. I hear they have a lunch buffet too. Nice people. Clean restaurant. If I find myself in the area again I will be back. read more

See all

I am SO excited to have found a wonderful, authentic Indian Restaurant in Montgomery! Nice surroundings, AWESOME lunch buffet, the real deal Indian food right here! Mr. Raj is very nice, the waiter explained everything on the buffet and the food is outstanding, spiced perfectly and cooked to perfection too. The Mango Lassi is the best I've had anywhere! Thank you. Saffron Kitchen...and I'll be back SOON! read more

Awesome food large variety of food as well snacks , Service is great , and ambience is also good . Love the hospitality

I attended the Vegan Social | Saffron Indian Kitchen here which was a huge hit. The place was packed! Delicious food such as the Jackfruit Halwa, which was like a bread pudding. Normally some items are not vegan (Naan bread is not vegan) but menu is clearly labeled. Great customer service at the event. The host made you feel right at home. Looking forward to the next event & will visit this place again! read more

Saffron Indian Kitchen - Jackfruit Halwa dessert - Indian Near Me - Montgomery, Alabama

Excellent meal. We had eaten at an Indian restaurant a few years ago here in town and were underwhelmed by the experience. Not so at Saffron. We are very much novices, but the owner made great efforts to help us along and suggest dishes we would enjoy. There were five of us and I like each of the other's entrees as well as mine. At the owner's suggestion, we got two different kinds of mulligatawny soup and both were delicious. My entree was a creamy lamb curry, not too spicy, that was divine. I saved part of it for lunch the next day. My wife got chicken kabobs, but she thought it s bit too spicy, but still tasty. That is alright, I'll get to enjoy it for lunch later this week. The front of house was clean as were the toilets. Only complaint is that the hand dryer was broken in the men's toilet and there was no hand paper. 9.5/10 -0.5 for the broken dryer. read more

WOWZA! Nothing else to say but the best indian buffet i've ever had. Every item I tasted was exceptional especially the fish and shrimp entrees. The chicken tikka marsala was amazing and had a unique smokey flavor that was something that i never tasted before. I highly recommend you stop by and try it for yourself. I live over an hour away and when I want Indian food this is where i come. read more

Dolfi was a great server. Handled our group of 17 with ease. Cheese and garlic naan was delicious. Thanks!

This authentic cuisine. My wife loves it! I wish I could handle the spice better, but I still sign up for the punishment. What can I say! When you want flavor and spice, Saffron is it! read more

We visited this restaurant for the first time on Saturday because we found that they had a vegan menu. We were welcomed warmly by all of the staff when we walked in. The waiter was very knowledgeable about the vegan items and made some wonderful selections for us. The food was amazing. We ordered too much to eat and took some home which we enjoyed again the next day. We will definitely be repeat diners. read more

I love Indian food, and prefer it over anything else, so you know I was excited when I visited my hometown. I remember eating at this location for dinner (a while back) and I love it. My hubby and I came for the lunch buffet,but sadly, we were disappointed. Very disappointed. I'm wondering if it is under the same management. There was such a vast difference in the dinner food and the lunch food. The samosas and pakora were great. The dal and paneer were awful in my opinion. I've had my fair share of dal, and this one had a bland taste. The paneer was bland but sweet aftertaste. The server was not attentive. I think she was more focused on setting up for dinnertime. The owner talked with the other guests, but she didn't say much to us. I won't be returning especially for the lunch buffet. read more

The food was incredible! We aren't regulars for Indian food, but we loved it and highly recommend it. Service was nice and fast as well.

Quick service. Good food. Only leaving four stars because of the price. A bit too expensive in my opinion.

By far the best restaurant in town! Everything is cooked to perfection, the service is great, and there's plenty to choose from. I've eaten in the restaurant and have taken orders to go. Usually the quality will diminish a little when an order is to go but NOT here. The quality is still amazing. I absolutely love this place and would recommend it to everyone. read more

This is an excellent place for a variety of indian food. The drawbacks are from an Indian perspective that the chicken tikka was to heavy on the cream side and the naan was more on the roti side of things. Also needed more vegetables besides rice. This place definitely should be tried out. read more

I eat from Saffron as often as I can! So delicious. Normally I grab my order to go, but it's delightful to stay and eat here as well, friendly staff and charming atmosphere. So many vegetarian options, amazing naan, let's see...there's nothing I don't like! Except I don't eat spicy foods much--but my friends who do swear by the spicy options on the menu. A friend who comes to visit from DC regularly always wants to eat at Saffron when he's in town. read more

Dinner buffet Saturday evening @5:30. Best cauliflower veggie option I ever had Chicken option with visible long red peppers was very tasted but not hot as the peppers would suggest Excellent ground lamb Service was outstanding 5 or 6 staffers on the floor Off the 25 booths and tables 5 were It has been two months since my last visit. The staff has been working hard on ambience changes. The buffet bar as moved to an easier to navigate straight line. The desert bar is new, I think. The walls are decorated by mostly string instruments. The service as always is outstanding. The food contues to rank amough the best. read more

Delicious food. Nice staff. Good prices. Décor and ambiance are kinda stripmall-y. Expect some Ballywood dancing on the TVs. Buffet has a nice selection. The menu is terrific; don't be afraid to order menu items instead of the buffet - you won't regret it. read more
