Saffron Indian Kitchen

I visited in December 2023 and it was a 10/10 experience! The staff was so friendly! My family and I have had many distasteful experiences at OTHER restaurants, being that we’re Black southerners, we’ve experienced some prejudice and racism. We felt completely welcomed at Saffron! The food was so delicious 😭. The restaurant owner took time to recommend dishes since it was our first time at an Indian restaurant. The restaurant owner also gifted us an assortment of desserts to try, since (again) it was our first time. I wish the absolute best for him and all of his restaurants. 10/10!!

Good quantity of food . I was unable to finish all of it so I packed and took.it to go Eaten her before so Ii knew of them . Food is really good . Will revisit again to try other things . I had the gobi Manchurian and cheese naan This is my third visit here . And as always the food is fantastic . Mr Jordan the server is amazing as well . I usually won’t leave a review if the food is not great . But saffron is one of the best places I have eaten . The quantity is huge and the quality is without doubt amazing . You get what you pay for and the quality is very satisfying . The only reason this place is under the radar is because of 200 plus review but I can say it’s the best place to eat in Birmingham and I keep coming back to them whenever I’m in town

I saw this place empty on two separate Friday nights even though they are currently rated a 4.8! I had to see what was up because I love Indian food and Birmingham doesn’t have many quality options. The food here is amazing. The price point is imo slightly high, but considering how delicious and how generous the potion size was, it was worth it. I know I will be encouraging everyone I know to check this place out because it really is your only option for full flavor Indian food.

Saffron may be the best Indian restaurant in Alabama, but it is certainly the best in the Birmingham area. Completely worth the price. My wife had the butterrrr chicken, and I had the Rajputana Lal Maas (spicy lamb dish), and they were some of the best things I've had. The Naan is fantastic, the sweet tea is good. My only critique would be the walls. Needs some color and vibrancy, but the food is phenomenal.

Try the Golden Elephant drink cocktails, you won’t regret it. This place is awesome. Just tried the lamb Briyanni and chicken tikka. Both are excellent. Chicken Korma can’t get it any better, been here so many times and the service and food are still exactly the same excellent as always wows your imagination. Try the golden elephant drink. You’ll be lost in the taste.

Nice atmosphere! The food was excellent. We ordered the Chicken Korma, Coconut Curry, and goat cheese naan. Although we found the menu to be pricey, the portions were large and definitely shareable. Will be back!

I really love Indian Food. But I didn’t know the name of the chicken I wanted. I explained to the server what I wanted and he knew exactly. The food was AMAZING! It came out HOT and FRESH and GREAT portion size. It didn’t take long at all for the food to come out. The server was so patient with me trying to figure out the name of the meal. He wasn’t offended because I didn’t know the name. He and the manager were so nice and accommodating. The server was even a little funny LOL. The restaurant was SUPER CLEAN! I will definitely be back!! Server: Jordan
