Saffron Flavors of India

Today (6÷14÷16) was my first time trying this place. They were super polite and obviously had a love for what they do. We ordered the butter chicken, tikka masala, and a few types of naan. Everything was fantastic! Definitely coming back again.

This is by far my favorite Indian place. The staff is friendly, the food is so fresh and has such a depth of spices. The nan bread is fresh, hot and amazing. I will be a loyal customer

Waiter is very friendly and answered our questions since we have never been here or eaten Indian food before. Ordered the mixed grill and it’s very tasty. Nice looking on the inside and friendly staff. So far so good.

Love this place!!! Delicious cheese naan and chicken tandoori. If you want a drink, try an Indian Summer. It’s a sneaky drink, more alcohol than you think.

This place is awesome! Clean, nicely decorated and modern, attentive and neat staff and most importantly amazing food. The menu isn’t too crowded to where you have no idea what to get. There are many options including meat options and level of spicy. We ordered the tandoori chicken and chicken tikka masala curry which came with rice. We ordered a side of naan and we were so full and satisfied. The tandoori chicken was our favorite because it was so flavorful but we wished that we got a high spice level on the curry because it wasn’t spicy at all. I can’t wait to come back here and try some more items because I now love this place. The staff take time to plate the table neatly so our small table never felt crowded and had a beautiful spread. I also ordered rice pudding to go and I ate the huge bowl all by myself it was amazing!

Got their take out Lunch Buffet for $ 12.99 and was really happy about the quality, efficiency, and affordability of a lunch buffet. I think it’s amazing that they do take out for a buffet, and it was much appreciated! I got more than enough for for lunch for it, and it was a great deal compared to buying individual plates and having a lot of left overs. Will be coming back in the near future!

Service was excellent, and food was even better. Chicken Saag was absolutely delicious. Chili fish and chili shrimp were also a hit. Garlic Naan was perfect. The best was the Mango Mai Tai. AMAZING! We will be back!

Sooo good!!! I knew I liked Butter Chicken but I didn’t know it could taste this good. Seriously dying for good Indian food & that I’ve found this gem I will definitely be back! I’m usually super picky but how great my basics favorites are, make me super excited to try more
Butter chicken & cheese naan. Taste buds are in love :)

The best Indian food in Vegas, and it’s not even close. The flavors are superior, the ingredients superior. I even like the interior. Try the Okra, and everything else! Go! Eat! Enjoy! The rest is in the pictures, Cupcake.

Seriously, guys. If you haven’t been here, you need to go.
This is a pretty place nestled back in the plaza of Tenaya and Craig.
We live close to here, so we’ve been here a lot over the course of 5 years +. We went again on Sunday night with some friends. And we can’t ever say enough how this is the best Indian we’ve had in town.
We’ve been all over because we love Indian food. But this is a major staple in Las Vegas.
The dishes I recommend:
Mixed Tikka Platter — all of the tikka. All of it.
Tikka Masala — Always one of my favs with chicken.
Lamb Rogan Josh — we love lamb. And we love curry.
Shrimp Korma — Because you have to throw seafood in the mix.
Chili Chicken — just tried this for the first time and we were floored at how good the flavor was.
But man, every time we try something else, it’s always been amazing.
When you go, you have to try the Indian beers. Haywood is our favorite. Also, naan. Garlic naan, plain naan. You can’t go wrong with naan.
They do have a lunch buffet if you’re wanting a variety, which is awesome as well.
Always excellent service and food. It will always be a favorite.

This is not going to be a very good review I’m afraid, I’ve forgotten already the name of the dish I tried. But I wanted something delicious to go, and got a nice curried lamb dish. It was really quite good.
The Decour is lovely, and I’m sure I will go back sometime when I can sit down and enjoy a fine meal.

Had a wonderful Indian dinner tonight. The flavors of the dishes we had were spot on, good food and good service. Will try the buffet at some point.

Absolutely LOVE this place! We come for the buffet every other week. The egg rolls and tandoori chicken is delicious. The curry chicken is perfect! I love the rotation of different dishes on the buffet. It allows me to try their menu without paying for every dish. My favorite dish is their curry chicken and garlic naan! **They use white meat chicken!!**

I went here for a lunch buffet on a recent visit to Vegas. I was really impressed with the Tiki Masala and the Chicken Curry dishes. They had a good sampling of vegetarian options as well which were also delicious. I didn’t think any of the food was overpowering either but the right mix of spices and flavor. I would definitely recommend it!

This place is really cool. Clean and very welcoming environment. The shopping complex is always almost dead, but once you step inside, you forget everything. The bar is really good and has tons of domestic and foreign alcohol choices. Dining area is clean and welcoming. Went there with my family on one rainy Sunday evening and had the best Hot & Sower Soup. Soup was made just right with good broth, veges, and salt consistency. Order food and it came in 15 minutes… freshly made and warm. Their Paneer Chilly was to die for… the best I have had in a while… Naan were cooked right and they were served warm… Food was very testy and service was great… Will go there again for sure… Next time, will try their Indo-​Chinese fusion food…
Thank you,
Cheers!!!

This was my 2^nd trip. The first was uninspiring but I thought I would give it a 2^nd chance. I specifically wanted a lunch buffet. This time, the buffet selection was paltry with barely a handful of main/​side dishes. The food was fine my first trip but the price (increased from $ 11 to $ 13) was a deal breaker. Egg rolls? What part of India did egg rolls come from?
«Mount Everest» on Sahara has a phenomenal buffet! And it’s $ 11.

We wanted to get some Indian food but did not feel like trekking out to the center of town so we came here. This was not our first time here, but this trip was excellent.
The service was on point! Very attentive without being overbearing. Well-​timed refills on water glasses. Most of all, sincere friendly attitudes from everyone there.
The food was great. Perfect size on portions. Great flavor. We ordered butter chicken, chicken korma, and Chana masala. Also gotta have garlic naan. The sweet lassi was delicious, one of the best in town because it was thick and not watered down. Only negative was the pistachio kulfi for dessert was a little too icy, but still yummy.
We had a great experience here and definitely recommend this place.

Opt out and order take-​out which took 15 – 20 mins.
— Vegetable Samosa $ 5: It came with two sauces that I wasn’t a fan of. The samosa alone was good but a little salty for my liking.
— Chicken Tikka Masala $ 14: This came with rice and not sure if it comes with naan as well. Since they didn’t go into detail in the menu. The portion for this was a lot. It’s enough for two people. You can order from 1 – 10 for the spicy level. I got a 10 and it sure came out. But nothing unbearable that will distract the favors of the curry. The chicken were not small chucks but big! It was juicy and not dry. Even after microwaving the next day the chicken didn’t dry out.
— Garlic Naan $ 3: I don’t know how felt about it. It did have the garlic I guess I was hoping that the garlic would blend more into the naan rather than just being on top of it.
For take-​out it was fast and already waiting for me when I came in. Food was hot and fresh coming home. Only thing I didn’t like is how there was no breakdown what the curry came with. I was so scared it didn’t come with rice, which I got so happy. Also if they offer Naan with my Masala not sure if it does or not since I ask if I can get garlic. The price might be for substituting it for the regular. Another thing is the price was not shown on the menu. This is a minor thing but I like knowing how much it’s going to cost me before going in. My total came out to $ 24.32 with tax. I’ll come back again if i’m in the area. Not an everyday go to spot since it’s little on the pricy side.

Went here on Valentines day 2015 for dinner with Brian P. Came here around 8 ish with no reservation and were seated immediately. Place looks nice and service was friendly.
I ordered the kadai ghosht (lamb) with a spice level of ¹⁰⁄₁₀. While I found it spicy, it wasn’t singe your intestines spicy nor was it break a sweat hot for me. Brian found it to be inedible due to my extreme love of spicy foods that he does not share.
Brian ordered butter chicken with spice level of ⁴⁄₁₀. While good, I would say it was not hot whatsoever.
Garlic naan was fine.
Portions were fairly small for the price but rice was included (not always the case at every restaurant.)
I’d like to try their lunch before I decide if I’m a 4 star fan or not.

This is the closest Indian restaurant to one of my offices and have been here only for dinner. I’d probably spend an hour if I came here on my lunchbreak for their buffet and the whole afternoon with a food coma.
I like how spacious and open the layout is. When you can high-​five the person at the next table, that’s a bit too close and I like my personal space a bit much. We’re always greeted by the eager servers/​hosts/​bartender as soon as we walk in.
The food is great. I must warn you though, you have to have a high tolerance for spicy food. Their spicy scale of 1 – 10 should not be underestimated. 1 is like Baby Spice. 5 is like a 7 in other places. 10 must be like Chuck Norris on your taste buds. The menu items we always get include: saag (with any protein), tikka masala (any protein), garlic naan and mango lassi. They give you a basket of papadums with mint dipping sauce and chutney. They’re reasonably priced.
Mango Lassi:
Yogurt and mango in a drink. Great consistency — not too thick an not watery either. ⁴⁄₅
Garlic Naan:
They’re warm and delicious but when you get a freshly made batch — it’s hot and glorious! They use a lot of garlic and possibly the most garlicky naan I’ve had in this town. ⁵⁄₅
Saag (Shrimp/​Paneer/​Chicken):
Other Indian restaurants I’ve been to have a standard spice level for their saag. At Saffron, you can specify how spicy you want it. I think that’s what I appreciate about this place. Sometimes, I just want my saag with a kick. I like scooping up the tasty spinach pieces with my warm naan. ⁵⁄₅
Chicken Tikka Massala:
The blend of spices are incredible. We get this at spice level #5 and I’m sweating and reaching for my water. They’re pretty generous with chicken. Properly cooked, not dry chunks of chicken. ⁴⁄₅
Gulab Jamun:
My favorite Indian dessert. I’m hooked on these sweet cheesy balls. Their syrup isn’t overly sweet and has a hint of rose. ⁴⁄₅
Almod Joy Naan:
This is not a regular menu item. Warm naan loaded with chocolate, almonds and coconut. 3.5÷5
