Saffron Flavors of India

I ordered pickup for lunch at work, and it turned out to be a great decision. I chose vindaloo with a spice level of 4, but it wasn't spicy at all, and I paired it with garlic naan. I will definitely return, but next time I'll enjoy dining in and may try a higher spice level.

When I'm craving Indian food, I go to Saffron. This restaurant has been here for years, and it's often recognized by many locals. I've been a longtime patron, and I'm glad that they've managed to survive the pandemic. Over the years, I've mainly ordered takeout but I've had the opportunity to dine in several times. Most recently, I dined in with my husband and noticed that they've renovated the dining area and bathrooms. How's their food? Well, there's a reason why they've been here for over 13 years. My faves include the following items:Garlic naan: freshly made, garlicky, and it serves as an alternative utensil to scoop up your curry. Biryani (vegetable & chicken): fluffy basmati rice with a good amount of spiciness and served with a creamy yogurt sauce. Malai Kofta: cheese "meatballs" served with a flavorful and rich curry sauce. Tadka Dal: Blended lentils with a spicy kick. They've been late (20-30+ min) with my pick-up orders in the past, but I haven't experienced any issues during my recent visits.

It's been difficult to find good Indian food in Las Vegas but Saffron was pretty solid.Onion pakoras - I don't get this much but was really impressed. Nice balance of seasoningsSamosas chaat - Not bad but just okChicken korma - Good flavors and good portions. Got 8/10 spicy which was closer to mild-moderate spicy personally. This is a place where I'd definitely recommend going more aggressive on spice levels if you can handle itNaan - They nail the texture here. So fluffy and soft. My favorite naan in Vegas so farUnfortunately I don't frequent the Northwest area often but they were good enough for me to come back when I'm back in the area.

Saffron Flavors Of India is located in North/West Las Vegas. This is a full service restaurant that also offers wine.We started out by sharing the Gobi Manchurian (cauliflower) and Frankie Naan (vegetarian Indian stuffed pizza). The Frankie Naan was tasty. The cauliflower was in a sweet and spicy sauce. We also shared the Goan Fish Curry and the Makhani Chicken. We ordered 7 out of 10 for heat level. The #7 is just above mild here. We both liked the Makhani Chicken the best. The sauce with fragrant and balanced and the chicken was moist. The Goan Fish Curry's sauce dominate flavor was ginger. I would recommend other proteins before ordering fish here.Service was on point and friendly.Three stars is a positive review on Yelp and translates to A-OK.

This is easily my favorite Indian restaurant in Las Vegas. You have to get the Tandoori wings and the shrimp biryani. But, EVERYTHING I have gotten from Saffron is on-point. There is so much flavor. The only thing I haven't done yet is eat at the location. I always deliver it. But, I look forward to experiencing customer service in person.

I ordered here when my other spot was not accepting orders. Their flavors are more garam masala heavy but still incredible! The veggie samosas cannot be touched, the best I've had here by far.

Now this place brings the flavors!! Amazing chicken tikka masala!! The chicken was so tender and juicy. The chili chicken was packed with flavor, super delicious!! Garlic naan flawless!

Saffron Flavors was once known to loudly display its political leanings but independent voters like myself can't be influenced by either side, so the only real allegiance I ever have is to an empty stomach.Indian entrees should always come with bread - Garlic roti, Onion naan, and Paratha (GOP?) are all excellent. Roti vs. Naan vs. Paratha...roti is unleavened, naan uses yeast which makes it more soft and pillowy, while paratha is also unleavened but stuffed with a thin layer of potato. There's no debate, be sure to get the Tandoori platter. It's a nice variety of shrimp, chicken, and Seekh kebab lamb bites marinated with yogurt and spices on a bed of grilled onion and peppers, pairing well with Basmati rice. Try the outstanding grilled Tandoori wings which are tender, delicious, and steeped in a very liberal amount of spicy flavors. Yes very liberal, so doubtful they were right wings. I've also ordered a Madras and Ginger Ale (MAGA?) combo at lunchtime. Madras chicken is a superb entree with coconut and spices, similar to curry but with hot peppers and paprika that give it a strong, zesty flavor. The 60s song Mellow Yellow by Donovan began with, "I'm just mad about Saffron, a-Saffron's mad about me" and if you enjoy authentic Indian food, you'll also be mad about Saffron Flavors. So go there to stuff your face (not the ballot box) and you'll find that these folks know how to do authentic Indian food right. Extremely right. Maybe even far right."I'm Bill C. from Yelp and I approve this message."

1/10/25 (Very late review, sorry, I forgot to review and finished the leftover buttered chicken in 2 days.)Walked in about 30 minutes from closing time but they were able to accommodate my aunt and me since I was really craving buttered chicken. I liked the look of the place, nice and warm, but quiet. They have a two hour break for the staff since everything is handmade and they need rest.We ordered tandoori wings with chutney sauce, spiced quinoa, and buttered chicken served with basmati rice.The food was great, and so was the service. The food hit the spot, craving was satisfied, and I was able to take home what I couldn't finish. (If I really like the food, usually I take it home so I can really enjoy and savor the food.)Shoutout to Carol, she was really nice and kind and was okay with waiting with me for my aunt to come back and drop me off. Thank you for the complimentary mango lassi drinks.

Food is good. I would eat here again. My favorite is the mixed tandori grill, everything is awesome though, I really like the ice tea.
