Absolutely the best Indian food in the Tampa area. Run don't walk to get here!
The entrance to Saffron Indian Cuisine might be a surprise, but don't let that slow you down. The food smelled great as we entered. We decided to have our favorites for our first dining experience here. We absolutely loved our vegetable samosas, chicken biryani, and chicken tikka masala! You can control the "heat" by selecting mild, medium or hot! We thought we start with medium and that was perfect - it gives you the right amount of heat but all the flavor still comes through on every dish! For something different in naan, we tried the chile naan. Loved it as well.
The servings are extremely generous - as a result we had food we were able to take home so we can continue to enjoy the experience. The owners make you feel as if you have always been friends, they're happy to see you, anxious to share information, and they are delighted to serve you. Just an absolute pleasure to share time with them.

Address clearly states the location on cross creek but the owner didn’t update the address yet. Apparently that’s my fault since I ordered online and they’re in Riverview now. The owner will not give me a refund so here’s a 1 star review for bad customer service.

I used to go to Saffron a lot in New Tampa when they were an actual restaurant off of Cross Creek. They have now moved into a gas station. And the food was a major disappointment.
The pakoras were just a soggy dough over cold vegetables. The Naan -was a piece and a half. So what happened to the rest? And where was the garlic on the garlic naan? It was a terrible experience and I have no interest in ever going back again. Very very disappointed

I dined at Saffron Indian Cuisine. I would never ever visit this place again. Samosa Chaat I ordered was spoiled and the lady was very rude. Another customer ordered the same thing and they complained and no apologies to both of us. I do not recommend this place. Food was awful and terrible customer service. My husband and I got sick. Go at your own risk. This place deserves zero.

We have moved from new tampa to riverview and mentioned the same on all the commercial sites we could. You ordered considering old location. We use a 3rd party ordering platform and we have informed them to refund the money. We will call again tomorrow to do so.

Excellent food, mouth watering authentic flavors. The lamb madras is to die for. Impeccable service from a family run business. The only downside for me personally is the restaurant is run out of a convenience store by a Mobil gas station. Hopefully this is a temporary situation as I’d love to and probably will anyway take out of town guests there.

We had a family dinner at Saffron Palace. The owner was friendly, helpful and polite. She suggested their fruit juice infused with basil seeds. We ordered guava , lychee and a mango juice. It was out of this world!
The food was delicious. We had curried lamb and 2 vegetarian dishes as well the fresh Naan breads. We had a wonderful evening at Saffron Palace. We will definitely return.

Saffron is the best Indian Cuisine I’ve had in the USA. Unfortunately, I live over an hour from Saffron’s. So I always call before I go to make sure they will be open. On this particular occasion I called and someone said “Hello” versus introducing the business name so I asked if I had reached Saffron’s restaurant and the person introduced himself as “Nimeah,“ and he proceeded to tell me that the restaurant was temporarily closed as they were on the hunt for a new location but they were taking care of their customers at a friends restaurant and would be happy to serve us there. All I had to do was let him know when and how many people.
So I made arrangements for 10 persons. We arrived 15min before our scheduled time to an empty closed restaurant. I was worried plans had failed, but five minutes later Nimeah shows up with a team of people to include the fabulous cook, his wife. They opened up the doors of the restaurant only for US, Sat us down and we were treated like Indian Royalty!!
Delicious, fresh, made to order appetizers soon filled the table. Followed by Naan, and butter and Tandoori chicken, Goat, curry Lamb, and made to order vegan cuisine for my mother. Nimeah shared with us Indian Culture that evening via history, food and dessert, and it was one of the best dining experiences of my life.
Some of my family had never been to Saffron’s. I got calls for over a week regarding our meal and I can’t wait to return. Thank You Nimeah and Family for the experience.

Looking for unique, genuine and made from the heart Indian cuisine? SAFFRON Indian Cuisine is the absolute best Indian restaurant in the Tampa/Wesley Chapel Metropolitan Area. The freshness and quality of the ingredients is excellent and the wonderful variety of dishes is phenomenal. Strongly recommend any of the lamb or goat dishes.

So I had the buffet today. The food was excellent with a great flavor. It was brought out on a regular basis as something's buffets wait until the last few crap pieces of food are left or all gone. They even brought Naan to me at my table when a fresh batch came out. Great service. Great food. I will be back when I'm in this area as much as I can.
