Me and my husband really like this place for a good Indian meal. Decent ambiance, good view and sort of value for money for it's location. The food tastes great, the menu has quite a few options to choose from even for the vegetarians. Loved the prawns with coconut based sauce which is "Sungtae Chi Kodhi" on the menu, very... More

We had a lovely dinner with our family at Zaaffran and enjoyed the food with its amazing views of Darling Harbour. A must visit if you are in Sydney and if you enjoy Indian Food. The Service is excellent and they don't rush you in taking orders and make you feel very comfortable. They have a outside lobby area which... More

I have been to Zaafran in Darling Harbour several times and often in the company of discerning guests from abroad. Zaafran has never failed to impress - a wonderful selection that caters for most palettes. The fantastic view of Darling Harbour is an added bonus and I must make mention of the staff and management - a team that is... More

Could write a novel or simply one word (heavenly!)... Will always return when in Sydney. The menu is well structured, there are plenty of vegetarian options, staff are very friendly, and the view is hard to beat. The perfect indulgence. Thanks Zaaffron!

We had a party of around 40 people on the outdoor terrace. The food was good and service was good. People wanted to sit around and talk longer, but the restaurant needed to set up for dinner - so we were ushered out.

If you're in Darling Harbour & need some Indian, try this place out. Authentic food with a brilliant view of the Sydney skyline.

The setting of this restaurant overlooking Darling Harbour is fantastic. Get an outside table if you can. The food was excellent! Great to find an Indian restaurant that has some variety. The paneer stuffed mushrooms for our entree was the highlight, the seasonal fish curry was also deliciious as were the lamb cutlets. For dessert I had the Toblerone Pyramid... More

I recently tried to go to Zaaffran for a meal with my family of 6. We arrived at 5:30 and then they said that the restaurant opens at 6:00pm , so we waited half an hour for the table. I love my Indian food when I walked back in, the man was quite rude and told me there was a... More
