I was so looking forward to some lovely Indian food. The reviews looked alright so I lived in hope. Quite difficult to find even with Waze but eventually got here. Zero ambiance. Lighting all wrong, floor like a swimming baths changing room. Only 5/6 tables...being occupied but the water looked around as though he was looking for a needle in a haystack. Plonked in the window.Then a napkin and the menu were almost just dropped on the table in front of me. When I had decided on my meal I was told they couldn’t do it’s they hadn’t had a delivery today. The waiter is very difficult to understand and had the charm of a dead cat. When, after 2/3 choices being told they couldn’t do I was mumbled that the chicken curry was available. Ok I Ordered that along with a Channa appetiser. It all arrived together. It really wasn’t very good at all. The chicken curry tasted as thought it had be cooked in tomato soup with a few spices added in. The chicken itself to be fair was moist and tender and the channa appetiser was almost acceptable. My recommendation is to give this place a very wide miss. It’s not worth the effort to get to it and the attitude of the water and the server is one of not giving a hoot.More

We use to frequent this place a lot prepandemic. I don’t know if they changed ownership or staff, but the food quality has gone down hill. The chicken tikka masala used to be addicting. Now, bland and gross. The bindi masala and biryanis were full...of bell peppers. Shrimp biryani was flavorless. Indian food should be jammed full of flavor. Overall, will never go there again, and we are super sad about that.More

We visited here after a day of showing the area to visiting family. I had the Shrimp Korma and the group shared a bottle of Shiraz/Cab blend and I thought the whole meal was amazing! We ate Family-style and I tried the other 3 dishes...as well, but don’t know what they were called. All were fabulous. We even had leftovers to bring home for the kids. :)More

I have eaten at several Indian restaurants in Chapel Hill and find this the best I’ve had in North Carolina. We had four entrees - two meat and two vegetable , garlic naan, and a paneer tikka appetizer. The seasoning was perfect for all the...dishes. The service was wonderful. I wish they were in my home town.More

We typically go to the lunch buffet. We always enjoy the variety of food. Many dishes are the same each time and a few change. I like the goat dish. We often go on birthdays etc.

The restaurant is nice and clean. Staff is less than friendly. The food is good but. It excellent anymore. This used to be the best Indian place in town but has degraded in the past 1-2 years. The chicken is over cooked and tough. Food...is left too long on the buffet. The flavors are nice but not at all reminiscent of real Indian food (I have spent 2.5 months in India already this year). It is a good lace but there are better now in Gso.More

Nice place close to Greensboro downtown. Generous portions. Tandoori dishes are quite delicious. Goat biriyani is authentic and off the chart.

I enjoyed my dinner here but did not fall in love with it. It had nothing to do with anything in particular. It was my first visit here and was trying something new. I will chalk it up to a bad choice on my part....I enjoyed the atmosphere and staff very much. I will return and try something a little more familiar to my taste buds.More

It wasn’t long ago that there were only a couple of choices for Indian food with Saffron being the top. Now we have 3 other very good Indian options in the area which makes it harder for Saffron to stand out. That said - the...facility is clean, colorful and well laid out. The food is good (quality and flavor) and the service is always top notch. Others may compete in some of these areas but Saffron delivers across the board.More

Popped in for dinner with friends on a weekday. Seated quickly, service was pretty good throughout. Had samosa app which was decent. The naan was very good, both plain and garlic. I had the Chana Masala, 5 star heat. The heat was perfect but the...masala was lacking the depth of a good masala, slightly bland. Friend had the chicken tiki masala and tandoori chicken. I tried the tiki masala sauce and it was very tasty. Not great Indian food but not too bad. No Kingfisher beer which made me sad.More

For $11, we enjoyed delicious food from the lunch buffet. Definitely the best Indian food ever!!! The food was fresh and a very good variety. We don't know enough about Indian food to order off a menu, so we LOVE a buffet where we can...try many different flavors and foods. Will go back!More

My family and I were looking forward to checking out this restaurant since we love Indian food and eat it a few times a month. Long story short, the restaurant was a total disappointment! First, waitstaff seemed bothered to have to wait on us. But,...more importantly, the several dishes we ordered had no flavor, except red chili powder- even though we asked for 2/5 spicy! Also, some of our order wasn’t fully cooked-hardish lentils in the dal and raw-ish veggies in two dishes. I’ve never had Indian food that didn’t have a complex spicing, so it just seemed to me that the kitchen didn’t care what came out. Then, the bill with tip was nearly $100 for 4 people (no extras ordered, like alcohol or dessert!)!!! Crazy expensive for a low-quality experience. I would not give this restaurant another try!More
