SAFFRON NOLA

"Lovely dinner, great service, and nice atmosphere. Started with the salmon pani puri - my least favorite of the meal, but still worth a try. Main course was shrimp curry and garlic naan."

"Delicious, elevated Indian food. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal here. We'd recommend most of their dishes on their menu, especially the Chicken Biriyani and Potato Nest Chaat. We were a bit disappointed by the Saag Paneer and Roti. The saag lacked flavors and the roti wasn't the flaky, oily roti that I've had at other places. We'd probably stick to the Naan next time. For cocktails, we really enjoyed the Stocking Stuffer, as well as the Bengali Girl."

"Been wanting to try this restaurant for a looong time! Ordered the Bombay shrimp, lamp chops, and the daal with garlic and cheese naan. The lamb chops were the best item that we ordered! Very tender and flavorful. The food was overpriced for the amount that you get. But our server was great, and the atmosphere was also nice. Glad we tried it but I’m sure there are better Indian restaurants out there."

"Heavenly. Mouthwatering. Delicious. If you like Indian food this is the place for you. Everything about this place is fantastic. The drinks are unique and smooth. The meats are tender and seasoned with perfection. The mood vibe is great, but can get a tad loud at times. The bussers and manager were around often and quickly bringing water and whatever we asked for. There wasn’t a morsel of food left at the table. It’s bowl licking good - but definitely just use the naan to soak it all up. I will say, the service by our waiter was subpar. He was consistently hard to find which was interesting considering so many other employees were clearing plates, refilling glasses etc. If you can get past that and have time to spare, this is a must try."

"Easily a Top 10 Restaurant in New Orleans. Service is professional and quick. I’m not sure I’ve seen a restaurant with a higher server-to-table ratio. The drinks are outstanding. All have a unique spice or ingredient that elevates the classics and complements the menu flavors well. The food is phenomenal. Highly recommend the oysters and the chicken biriyani. Come with a group and try as many things as you can, you won’t be disappointed."
