Wonderful 5 star experience. Food was great, service out standing. We had the ‘chef” choice which was 3 appetizers a main course and a desert chosen by the chef. All were wonderful. Lovely Indian cuisine with a NOLA flair. We will go again and recommend Saffron to our friends as well.

Really great food. Best naan I've had. Love the décor! Would definitely recommend. A bit pricey, but worth it.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our meal at Saffron NOLA! We were surprised at first at how loud it was in the restaurant and thought it might interfere with our enjoyment of our meal, but as soon as our cocktails arrived (New Kid on the Block is a MUST TRY!!!) we were distracted by the delicious flavors and forgot about the sound level. The chicken tikka masala and naan were tasty too! And our server and the rest of the wait staff were attentive, but didn't hover. We highly recommend Saffron NOLA!
