Liked it !! From starters to desserts all items were amazing. The service was good. The vegetable biryani, Panner makhani , Rotis and Parathas were fresh and tasty. The quantity was decent too. Though, The onion kulcha could have been a little better.

Hey fellow foodies! I’ve recently had an amazing culinary experience at Saffron, an Indian restaurant tucked away in Town and Country, Missouri, and I can’t help but share the good vibes.

I went here last week and after ordering had to leave suddenly. The staff were incredible and quickly packaged the dine-in order to go. Amazing food!!! (I requested a very spicy dish and it was perfect!)

Amazing food my family comes here all the time. Service is also great, even when they’re busy they make sure to get to you. The restaurant is quiet and clean, in all the times I’ve eaten here all the dishes were perfectly clean and I’ve never had to send anything back. I highly recommend coming here it’s my all time favorite for Indian food. If you do come please consider getting the Chili Paneer appetizer, I am not joking when I say that it is one of my favorite food on the whole planet. I’ve never had anything like it not even at other Indian restaurants.

Where to start? Impressive, astounded and truly pleased. Absolutely freaking phenomenal and awesome. For the appetizer I had the Vindaloo- which totally made a great first impression towards an upcoming meal. I had the chicken Tikka Masala, which was the best ever and so tasty. Then dessert was the Rasgulla. Dessert was the absolute best way to finish this unique authentic lunch. Also the server was phenomenal, friendly, welcoming. The environment was really clean and atmosphere was legitimately welcoming. I will be back after this first time visit! Also big on family owned businesses. Please; tell me you are. Because the staff was all amazing!!!!!! This is an amazing five star restaurant with very affordable and delicious items.

Yellow daal was awesome and Paneer Kadhai was good as well. Portion and quantity is good for 2 people. Rice was nicely prepared as well and the portion size is good. Wheat roti is very well done.

I have been going to Saffron for around half a year, and I have been extremely satisfied every time. Beautiful restaurant, kind staff, and some of the most delicious Indian food I have ever had with large portions to boot. I have tried a good portion of the menu, and can say that the goat curry and lamb vindaloo are my absolute favorites.

The food was delicious and deserves more than 3 *, however the service came without a smile or even a goodbye as we left.
