Saffron Urban Indian Kitchen: Reviews & Ratings
This is a wonderful Indian restaurant. Their drunk selection is large and cocktails are well made. The Jalapeno Popper Naan was delicious and paired well with both the Beef and Vegetable Samosas. The Chicken Tikka Masala was cream based and one of the best in Omaha. The Salmon Madrasi was a little one-note but still delicious. The Sweet Chili Chicken almost tasted like a sweet and sour chicken. There is a lot on the menu so I can't wait to go back!
Five stars all around! Our server was awesome. Friendly, relaxed, calm, and welcoming perfectly describes our server. She was wonderful. The food was excellent, too! From the samosas to the ice cream flight created by our server, we were happy with everything. I’m still thinking about the cauliflower! Who would imagine cauliflower could be this good!
The food was delicious! My significant other and I ate here for the first time and we were highly impressed. The service was great, though I wish we were attended a little more, but it was busy so we understood. The food overall was delicious and the atmosphere was great! We will definitely be eating here again.
We had the crab cakes, lamb bhuna, garlic naan, and a paraiso drink. Really fantastic flavors, lovely atmosphere, great service, and a large portion for leftovers. Even sharing between two of us, it was enough to take home for me to have lunch the next day. I anticipate returning here to try more of the menu. Enjoyed and savored every bite!
We recently had the pleasure of celebrating a special anniversary at Saffron, and I couldn't be more impressed. It was a party in their private room for 40 people. Sonam, Rocky, and Sagar, and their entire team, made the occasion unforgettable. From the flawless arrangements to the exceptional food, everything was perfect. We had a few vegetarians in our party, and a couple of people had dietary preferences, and the team at Saffron went above and beyond to meet their dietary requirements. Our guests couldn't stop complimenting both the quality of the meal and the beautiful atmosphere. The service was outstanding, and the overall experience exceeded all our expectations. Saffron truly provided the ideal setting for such a memorable event. I’m already looking forward to more celebrations at this wonderful restaurant. Thank you for making it all so special!
Very good Indian food. The naan variations were my favorite. So many to choose from! The tandoori chicken was perfection!
Top tier Indian food at respectable prices with friendly service. Veggie Samosa: Curry-seasoned potatoes wait inside a crispy, crunchy exterior shell. Paired with tamarind chutney and/or mint chutney, and it's a done deal. Chicken Tikka Korma: tender chicken in a bath of tomato-forward sauce with enough spices to wrestle your tastebuds into submission. Chicken Masala: a creamy, smooth sauce coats each piece of chicken. I chose medium heat, and they nailed it. A bit of spice hung around in my mouth after each bite, but would consistently subside without needing any assistance. Naan: pillowy, easy to tear, charred just enough to give a smoky flavor occasionally, and the unlimited option means the only way you don't get your money's worth here is if you're a quitter. Rasmalai: Floral, sweet, and creamy. A deliciously unique experience packed into a rosey 3-bite dessert. Basmati Rice: Fluffy. Spiced well. Soaked up the leftover sauces from the other dishes. Exactly the type of rice needed to round out the heavy sauces. Mint chutney: pureed, cooling, and fresh. Get extra if you can. Can't wait for the next visit to try more of their varied, but controlled, menu.
Delicious! My husband and I had been wanting to try for a while and finally made it as part of restaurant week. We had the crab cake appetizer which was just ok, didn’t taste much crab. We had the garlic naan which came with a garlic herb sauce that was delicious! For our entrees we had the chicken bhana and the shrimp masala. Both were SO good. We agreed we could’ve shared one with how much food you get! It was delicious heated up for lunch. Our drinks were good as well. Highly recommend!
