Excellent food! I have loved everything I've ordered, and I've been here several times. It's by far the best Indian cuisine in the area. Also, if you're concerned about it possibly being too spicy for you, they ask you how spicy you want your food on a scale of one to five, with one being the least and five being the most. For someone who is ordering at a level one, I can share that the flavors have depth and a tiny kick, but not too much for those of you that don't like super spicy food. Oh, and everyone on their team is exceptionally friendly, and the service is excellent. I highly recommend Saffron Indian bistro.

Best Indian food in Va Beach. I particularly like their lunch's meat and vegetarian plates. It's like a mini buffet. Service is good, friendly atmosphere.

This evening my grandson took me out for dinner at Saffron Indian Bistro , I must say this is my 2nd time here and it definitely was a better experience this time around. The 1st time was a few years ago and the welcoming was not friendly , it was very harsh I will leave it at that , Today the young man that sat us down was a bit aggressive he kind of was a bit upset that we did not order something to drink right away , I didn't let that deter the rest of the evening. The young lady that took our order she was thin with glasses and the sweetest young lady ever , she came to our table with a smile , gave us time to review the menu , took our order and repeated it back to make sure she had everything , was very attentive and checking on us , the food was amazing , we will over look the nasty man with an attitude that sat us down and remember the rest of the night which was amazing and we will be back

I absolutely love Indian cuisine so when the opportunity arose to try Saffron Indian Bistro, I gladly accepted. Even though this location is in the heart of Town Center, there are multiple parking garages in the area that allow for easy parking. Once we arrived, we were seated right away since it was pretty empty on a Tuesday evening. Our server, Isha, quickly greeted us and was super personable. We started with the Vegetable Samosas which were delicious especially with the dipping sauces, then we ordered the Butter Chicken and the Chicken Tikka Masala with Garlic Naan. I always choose the spice level at around a 2 because it gives the dish just enough kick without being overly spicy! The food was served fairly quickly and everything tasted great. The chicken was very tender, the spice level was perfect and both dishes were very flavorful. Isha stopped by fairly often to make sure we were enjoying our meals and even shared a few laughs with us. Once we finished, she encouraged us to try some dessert so we chose the Mango Kulfi. It tasted like a rich flavored sherbet, it was very good and I'm glad we tried something new. Overall, I would return in a heartbeat. The food was delicious and the staff were super friendly. I've passed by this restaurant for years and finally decided to stop in so if you're looking for a great, authentic Indian food, I encourage you to try them as well.

My first time here and I ordered lamb biryani, Gobi Manchurian, and palak paneer. Everything had great flavor and generous portions. I was pleasantly surprised at how much lamb was in the biryani and the size of the paneer in the palak. I would definitely come back to try their other dishes.

Fantastic authentic Indian! And the Naan Basket....mmmmmm. Companion and I preferred Butter Chicken (heat 1) and Madras Chicken (heat 2). Heat 2 was plenty spicy! Dishes served family style with plenty of rice - great for trying and sharing different things. And delicious flavors as always. Do yourself a favor and skip the chain joints in Town Center for the real deal here at Saffron!
