Dining at Saffron was an amazing experience! I’m not well versed with Indian food, but luckily I had someone with me who was. It was graduation weekend, so it was very busy. That didn’t slow down the service. The food was amazing, as was the atmosphere. One thing I did learn is that when it says that the food is spicy, they’re not joking. That being said, the flavors were so amazing! I would definitely recommend dining here! We’ll definitely be back the next time we’re in town.

What an utterly delightful experience. The food could stand alone, it was perfection in every way. We had the garlic naan, chicken korma, and chicken masala and it was incredible. Balanced, hot, fresh, clearly made to order. But, the restaurant itself is also beautiful, and the atmosphere is clean and romantic. I highly recommend Saffron for a date night.

Initially we were just walking in for a cocktail and an appetizer so we could walk to another establishment for dinner. (We don’t get to this area a lot so we wanted to dine and explore.)

My wife and I had an amazing experience during our anniversary dinner. Saffron provided elevated takes on Indian staple dishes, as well as presenting completely unique items. Many things on the menu had familiar names, but all had a high level of attention to detail and were unlike anything we have ever tasted. Each dish was incredibly flavorful, with fresh spices and ingredients plentiful. It is clear that every aspect of the dining experience was intentional and designed to elevate the meal, even down to the side salad and soup. The service was excellent, and we were checked on regularly. The intentionality of the restaurant also translates into their fantastic drink program and the overall ambiance of the space. We started with the beef samosa and spinach artichoke naan (and I cannot stop thinking about that naan). Our main courses were the Lamb Vindaloo and Madrasi Tofu. We finished with an order of assorted Kulfi (ice cream), including pistachio and mango.

Very disappointed in Saffron. Maybe we just went on an off day. Ordered the spinach and artichoke naan, and it was all doughy, they sent us a new one which was cooked a little bit better. The lamb vindaloo we ordered as spicy as possible and were left searching for spice. There are much better Indian places in town with more complex flavors at a better price.

My favorite restaurant in Omaha! I go as often as I can! Service is freat and the food is exquisite! I highly recommend the Palak Paneer, Chicken Tikka Masala, Samosas, and Garlic Naan. Their cocktails are also wonderful. My fiance and I have spent birthdays, anniversaries, valentine’s day, and more here. Wonderful place!

Truly found one of my new favorite restaurants in Omaha. The ambiance is very calm, inviting and trendy. The service was very kind, charismatic, and open to questions: they gave my boyfriend and I great recommendations. We started with craft cocktails and the beef samosas. This was followed by a chicken entree, which we split, and an order of the garlic naan bread. This was the perfect amount for two people. Every bite was so delicious and full of the perfect amount of flavor. Such a yummy and comforting meal. Great vibe, great service and great food! Check out Saffron for delicious Indian food!!

The crab cakes and spinach artichoke naan were great starters. For dinner I had Salmon Madrasi and my friend had Tandori Half Chicken. Both our meals were great. The portions are generous and neither could finish our dinners, especially after the appetizers, but they were hard to pass up and we really wanted to try a few things! I haven’t tried a lot of Indian food, but I really enjoyed the food here. It was rich and full of different spices and flavor.
