    Beef Bihari kebab was tasty  Does not come with any sauce
    Madi M.

    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.

    Daal Fry with Butter naan and Basmati rice plus a Mango Maaza.
    RaRa R.

    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 ‍

    (Chris Helmsworth voiceover) The vibe is fantastic place for Pakistani cuisine right here in Waco! Brianna warmly greeted us! The Mango Lassi was fab! The Pakola Cream Soda was great! The Lunch menu is unbeatable pick one item from each column! Wow!!!!! Tikka was fantastic! The Chicken Biryani amazing! The Naan was topnotch! But the Grilled Platter! The Grilled Platter was magnificent! Perfectly spiced! And spicy! Would order everything again! Thanks, Brianna! Woohoo!

    It was great to find a #halal option in #wacotexas, @saffron.wtx is a great spot with a massive menu. we ordered the Chicken 65, Shrimp Karahi, and Bihari Kabob. you will not get the authentic Pakistani taste when it comes to the bihari kabob and shrimp karahi but overall it was good. also want to note that the staff was really nice and the place has a great ambiance.

    Chicken Tikka Masala, Bhuna Chicken, Garlic Naan

    Drive down to try their food and was very impressed. Service was great and their chicken tikka and Bhuna chicken were incredible. Chicken was tender and had a nice spice to it. It was a bit of a drive but would definitely go back! The place was clean and welcoming!

    Curry

    The best smell hit me on the initial walk in. Got seated very quickly to our likings. We tried a mango drink that was ok. But everything else was amazing. From the Naan to the Curry. A definite should try!

    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.

    Lunch special , chicken boti, goat curry and potato veggie curry .
    Zarina H.

    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 !

    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

    Butter chicken
    Michael N.

    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.

    i've eaten here sooo many times and here's a comprehensive review:…read more to begin, everything tastes quite fresh and the choice of ingredients for the bowls including the chick peas, jalapeños, and sauce are all excellent. the rice here is good and the chicken tastes great. let's talk price. this place can be quite expensive, especially if you are ordering something like a shawarma. personally, i wouldn't just because the amount you get for the price is quite small. for the rice platters, id say it's also a touch expensive for the size, however, there is a deal occasionally on uber eats where you can buy one get one. uber eats of course charges enough in service fees and delivery to basically charge you the full amount anyway, but if you have uber one or some other deals you could get these on an excellent deal. now, i LOVE my halal food, and there really aren't many options for good halal-cart style halal food in college station and even considering that, i find myself missing abu omar when im away from cstat. but when im here, i usually pass by the cart just because the prices are too high to justify eating regularly. i'd definitely suggest running some deals so atleast on certain days its more accessible for students. with that out of the way, id recommend trying a rice platter from abu omar. the staff is nice, the packaging is nice, and the food comes out decently fast. it tastes great and *if* you enjoy it relatively soon after getting it (i.e. your delivery didn't take a long time to arrive, if ordered) you can typically enjoy it quite warm, which is awesome. personally, ill definitely keep eating and enjoying the food from here and keep wishing there were better recurring deals or prices across the menu. taste: 9.5/10 price: 6.5/10 overall: 8/10! a solid, classic halal food cart option in cstat. one of few choices for great halal food. give them a try, but know it's a bit expensive for a student's meal.

    I love abu omar Italian shawrma zinger shawrma rap fries 100% definitely recommend this placeread more

    It's a go-to for us in Austin. The food is styled like the Halal Guys food carts all over NYC…read more Bowls with basmati rice, salad, your choice of grilled protein and of course white garlic sauce and hot sauce. They also have vegetarian choices. Their baklava is pretty tasty and their mint drink is delicious and refreshing. Great underrated place

    Had an appointment at Dell Children's and saw Halal on the way to the center…read more Reminded me that I really missed Halal Guys living in SoCal Just to highlight leave room for the baklava! One of the best ive ever had and I'm super picky. I love it when its not too sweet, the layers are actually flaky and NOT dry with the right layers to nuts to sweetness. It had ALL of that and then some. I bought one to try and went back for 1 more. They should sell it in a 6pk. I'd def get that every week with some turkish coffee if they offered that! So.. onto the foods. Got 2 combo plates 1-chicken 1- chicken and beef Both were very flavorful and delish. Came with their own "white sauce" Which was perfect on the dish. Fresh pita made it a great compliment to mop up the foods. The hummus that came with both meals great and fresh. My son swapped the salad for fries. He is a teen and devoured the plate. Everything was juicy and seasoned well. Tabbouleh fell short for me here. Maybe it was an off batch.. I've had fresher in other joints. Come support local!
