Dom was spot on! Had lamb curry and chicken tikka boti! Everything was cooked perfectly, the lamb was tender, the rice was perfect, the veg was perfectly roasted. And the naan was delicious too. So tasty! Perfect has been used 3 times in this review because it was. Service was great. read more

I can honestly say I've not been to their new location I was at their location on Valley mills. And it was not a very good experience. The food was lackluster, and I come from Houston where there are tons of Mediterranean restaurant and most are good to very good. When I went here, the service was okay, but the food just was subpar. read more

Been going for yrs and it has consistently went down hill. Go to Taz much better value. They have also stop honoring their coupons. There are now better choices in Waco read more

The food here was outstanding & fresh & I'd definitely go again! The only complaint is how small the portions are. I got maybe 5 pieces of chicken in my entree but it was 5 super tasty pieces of chicken! The service is prompt and perfect. read more

In Waco for business and stopped at Saffron for dinner. Service was great, the restaurant is clean and the food is fantastic. The minute you walk in you are hit by a wonderful smell from the kitchen. When I come back to Waco I am eating here every time I loved it that much! read more

Indian is by far my favorite food. Saffron's food is pretty good, I would say it's the best in the Waco area. The service is good and very friendly. read more

Service was great! Ambiance clean and spacious. Food was tasty, but smaller in portions. Basmati rice was overcooked and bland. $16 for vegetable Karahi portion we got, they must be stingy. Would not recommend as an over 4 stars ranking restaurant. read more

Was recommended for dinner in a business meeting while on travel. I am so happy it was. Best Indian food i have had. Server talked us into the daily specials we had never seen on any menu. It was fantastic. We all tried something new and loved all of it. I had Palek daal with rice, an order of garlic naan, and pani puri with tea for $27. The leftovers were just as good next day. We highly recommend this place. read more

This is my first time seating down at the new location and I love the atmosphere. It's fresh looking and a little modern. Of course, I'm going to get my papdichaat, masala chai and finish it off with my kulfi. read more

The food was amazing!! I ordered the Daal Fry and it was fantastic! The service was incredible as well!! This was my first time eating here and didn't know anything at all about the style of Indian food but our server Alyssa stopped what she was doing just to explain everything that was on the menu in detail. The set up is a little small but the placed screamed originality from the music, Tv shows playing on the wall, etc. I would go back ‍ read more

The food is good. I love the lunch specials so worth the money ! The service was super slow as there were 2 waitresses for 10 tables. The food was extremely spicy and the wait was very long to get the food. I did love the lunch specials how you can choose three different entrees for a good price, and I loved how the servers were very kind even though they were short staffed. The chicken boti grilled was the best thing I ate. I would recommend to get that, it was so juicy and flavorful, even though it was spicy, that was phenomenal ! The tandoori and garlic naan was great and came in an abundance of quantity. This place is great to try ! read more

I've come to saffron for years now and it is by far the best Indian food in town. They are very consistent and always fulfill my craving of what feels like a home cooked meal. I always get the garlic naan and today I tried the cheese naan. I love both and they paired well with chicken tikka masala. read more

Delicious!! Everything we have tried here is great. You can adjust the levels of spice, and the staff are great at answering questions about the cuisine. read more

Sooooo I was on my way back to Austin and got the sudden urge for some good Indian food....I could smell this place from the street!!!! As soon as I came in I was greeted by the sweetest girl, she ran down the menu for me (all I know is I was craving goat lol) offered me some water while I waited for my food and even brought it out to me Now about this damn food chiiile I was in HEAVEN!! It smelled so good I had to pull over to take this picture before devouring it needless to say; it didn't make it. I wish they weren't so far away, tho I might just have to make a turnaround trip (an hour/half) JUST for some more! I would definitely recommend and will be returning. **I know I didn't take the best pics, my bad lol read more

This doesn't look like much from the outside but the inside is big. You can have huge get together here. The yogurt sauce is yummy, and the leave the onion and cucumbers on the side as in traditional Indian restaurants. The food is very spicy, as it should be. The butter chicken is the least spicy and very tasty. I love Indian food coming from Los Angeles, and highly recommend this place. We walked in on Sunday and we're greeted with a buffet. I was grateful to get to try all of the main dish flavors. I am definitely coming back to this place. Next time I will get dishes so we can bring some home. Oh - and be hungry!! The food is very filling and is served with naan (so good!) read more

We are always looking for great Indian food and Saffron did not disappoint. Immediately our waitress was super nice and full of energy. We ordered the Pan Tiki Masala, chicken Boti roll, cheese naan and garlic naan. The Boti roll and Paneer Tiki Masala were crazy good. Big flavor and just a little spicy. The Boti roll has a nice grill. The garlic naan was perfect. We would not order the cheese naan again as is is more like a cheese pizza. We will definitely come here again. read more

We just got a late start on as month long driving trip. We were hungry before we could get to San Antonio tonight and stopped in here. I just a saw a message that Saffron needs pictures. Well, the empty curry dish used to be my butter chicken. The empty basket used to be naan. Excellent flavor, the chicken was super tender, the naan was great. Now I just have to drive another 2 1/2 hours without falling asleep. read more

Delicious and authentic Indian cuisine in Waco, Texas! I had chicken Korma and it was yummy with just the right level of spices. Not much for ambiance but the service and food were both excellent. read more

My son wanted to try Indian food, so we drove an hour to eat here. It was so, so good! The service and food were great. We will be back!

The food was delicious. I ordered a veggie curry and a butter chicken. Only thing I didn't love was that the butter chicken had little bit of chicken. Usually a plate like this has enough for 2 people but this one didn't. read more

Wow, this was some of the best Indian food I've ever had! I had the Nuclear Naan (amazing), the Karahi Lamb and asked for extra spicy (sooo good with the nuclear naan) and the Kheer. I have a high spice tolerance and would have liked the Karahi spicer but it was pretty spicy. The flavors of everything was great. Service was super friendly and the food came out in a reasonable timeframe. The ambiance was much nicer than expected! Will definitely be back any time I'm in the Waco area! read more

AMAZING SERVICE! 10/10. The food was delicious for my first time being here. The garlic naan was just the cherry on top! Definitely coming back read more

Saffron - Butter Chicken - Indian Near Me - Waco, Texas

First visit for lunch. Very nice menu, lots of choices for whatever you're craving. Pakistan/North Indian, though they also have biryanis available. Some unique items not always seen on Indian restaurant menus. Lots of drink choices. Well kept with plenty of seating. Our party ordered three different entrees from the full menu, plus two different naans. Everybody loved their food, and agreed it was very fresh tasting, like your favorite family member was in the kitchen cooking it just for you. Generous portions, and everything came out in a timely manner. The lunch menu looked like a good value, a "choose one item from three columns " for a fixed price, with butter naan included. Another plus, they were playing music from Indian cinema, so we got to recognize show tunes from some of our favorite Shah Rukh Khan movies (Om Shanti Om, Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, Veer-Zaara)! We will be back! read more

Discovered a great little Pakistani place in Waco, TX. definitely will be returning. Had the best goat curry and the naan was perfect. Just enough crunch and chew. My husband had the buffet and thought it was ok. If you like Chicken masala or butter fish then buffet is the way to go but I think the a la cart items are much more unique. Servers were attentive and pleasant. read more

Came here off of a recommendation from a friend when driving through Waco. I decided to order the lunch plate ($11) so I could try a variety of different things. You choose 1 dish from 3 different categories. The waiter recommended the chicken samosas, butter chicken or tikka masala, and the chicken biryani. I enjoyed everything that I ordered along with the garlic naan. The samosas were really crispy, butter chicken masala was creamy, and chicken biryani was full of flavor. My vegan friend ordered the daal fry. She said there was basically nothing in there, but still ended up being really filling. I am curious on what their weekend lunch buffet is like, so I would come back again to try that. read more

I recommend ordering Chicken 65 and butter chicken with nann if you've never eaten Indian food. 10/10

Nice spices in chicken tikka masala. Naan bread was good with generous food portions. We were seated near the window and the window seal area was dirty with crumbs and dust. That's why 4 stars. read more

This is the worst Pakistani restaurant I have ever been. Ordered the following: 1) daal - nonexistent lentils. So diluted and liquid 2) chicken curry - 4 miserable thumb size pieces and curry so diluted. 3) samosa - oily 4) naan - only good item Portions were so small and pathetic. Overpriced. Toilet was so dirty and nasty. Service was ok. read more

Food is amazing here. Definitely get the butter chicken and their garlic naan bread. Their new location is great
