Saffron South Menu – Austin, TX

Type : Indian restaurant

Location : Austin, TX

Saffron serves an eclectic mixture of traditional Indian Cuisine punctuated by the flavors of the Himalayas. Our food stand true to its roots and origin while we source most of our produce locally. All dishes, sauces, naans and desserts are made in house from scratch. We are proud to be the first restaurant in Austin with a dedicated Nepalese menu. Nepal is a land of many flavors, while many of its dishes are indigenous and indicative of its culture and people, while few are inspired by its immediate neighbors, India and China. Our Nepalese menu is a thoughtful mix of both.

Based on 305 reviews, the restaurant has received a rating of 4.5 stars. Price $$

Awesome service and great food! It can be tough to find consistently good Indian food in Austin, let alone Nepalese – you get options for both at Saffron South!

30 mins of wait after ordering food and still the food was cold. One would expect at least warm if not steaming hot kababs. The nepalis lamb kabab were dry ( though the flavor was subtle and good), lamb chops were also dry.

It’s hard to come by lots of variety in cultural cuisine where we live. We were fortunate to find this charm that serves Nepalese, Himalayan, and Indian specialties.

I had to go, the portion for one person is super awesome. I got lamb curry, rice, and garlic Naan bread. Super delicious. My only wish was less oil? I think it’s oil? But loved it and will return .

All the food is clearly labelled vegan or vegetarian and the waiter was very knowledgeable about which items had dairy in them, which was great since I’m lactose intolerant.
