As good as any I've had in London!Wife and I finally decided to try it out and did it not disappoint. We had heard that it was good but it exceeded my expectations. Wife and I go to London a couple times a year and always have great Indian food when we are there so it's nice to know we can get equally as good right here in Waco.

Food came out very quickly and was served hot. We had the goat briyani and the goat was cook very well and flavorful. The briyani itself was lacking some flavor but overall was a decent choice. Service was slow even though it was a small restaurant and wasn't too busy. We had to go up and find someone to pay our bill since our waitress had not returned in quite some time. Overall pretty good food and a nice quick meal.

Came in early Saturday evening. Most of the tables were empty but dirty. Got sat. Placed our order. Agreed to have food come out as it was ready. Husband ordered goat, I ordered beef kabobs. His came out, along with the order of naan bread. His goat was three chunks, that was more bone than meat. He was almost finished with his meal, when we began looking for the waitress to see where my meal was. She came over and said I was just going back to get it. The meat was lukewarm, at best, so it had been sitting in the back for a bit. No apology about the wait, nothing. The man bread was the best part of the meal. Needless to say, we will not return. Both becuz of lack of service and not really good food.

Nestled in the heart of Waco, Saffron presents an exquisite dining experience that tantalizes the taste buds and ignites the senses. My recent visit to this culinary gem left an indelible mark of culinary excellence and unparalleled service.From the moment I stepped through the doors, I was greeted with warmth and hospitality that set the tone for an unforgettable evening. The ambiance exuded sophistication, with soft lighting and tasteful décor creating an inviting atmosphere perfect for a memorable dining experience.One of the highlights of my culinary journey was the saffron-infused dishes, which captured the essence of this precious spice in every bite. The delicate balance of flavors and textures in the Saffron Rice with chicken Tikka Boti, butter chicken, and goat biryani with cheese Naan left me speechless, as each dish transported me to culinary nirvana.However, what truly sets Saffron apart is not just the exceptional cuisine but also the dedication and hard work of its young servers. Despite the hustle and bustle of a busy evening, they exuded professionalism and grace, ensuring that every guest felt welcomed and well-cared for. Their attentiveness and passion for their craft were truly commendable, adding an extra layer of warmth to the dining experience. Whether you're a connoisseur of fine dining or simply seeking an unforgettable meal, Saffron promises to delight your senses and leave you craving for more.
I ordered paneer pakauda that supposed to be paneer/ cottage cheese coated with chickpeas flower and deep fried in the oil.Looks like they did not had paneer in the stock and they used all purpose flower dough and coated with kind of chickpeas flower and deep fried. Bad food, felt like cheated.

This was my first time eating Indian/Pakistani food, and to be honest I was a little nervous to try something so new and different. I was totally surprised by how good the food is; I really loved it! Both my dish (chicken biryani) and my husband's dish (chicken tika boti) were so flavorful, and the portions are huge! The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is because there were bones in my chicken, and I ended up biting into one.
The server was rude. Their combo is of utter waste. I felt like I was robbed. No value proposition. They call a heap of masala rice and a small piece of meat as biryani. I won't recommend.

Utterly disappointed with the food. Ordered a veg karahi but the vegetables used in the curry were not at all traditional veggies. The curry was filled with just cauliflower and broccoli stems added just to increase the volume of the curry.

Best Indian food available in the area! We love this place! Eat here and if you have any sensitivity to spice … let them
Honestly, the food was very delicious, but the service was not nice! One of things that made me not satisfied was missing orders and when they bring the stuff they dropped it and go! without nice words or asking if it all good or even smiling. They were very bad mood. I hope the manager read my comments and do couch with his team how resppect and communication with costumers
