My favorite Indian place hands down. Consistently delicious, and a fabulous lunch buffet.The vegetarian offerings are always perfect, I almost never save room for the meat and dessert dishes.

I've passed by this location so many times. After researching over 5 different Indian lunch buffets, I stumbled upon Saffron. The local Yelpers got it right! The food here was amazing. I loved the butter chicken, gobi manchurian, goat curry and the palak paneer. Flavors and service was on point. With over 10 dishes to choose from and the value under $25 for lunch in NOVA this was a steal. I arrived with my friend shortly after 1130 on a rainy Saturday and this place got packed quickly. The food was already ready to serve and the buffet station was really clean. Inside theres plenty of seating for all parties. The front can be a little tight with the buffet line and people waiting for their carry out orders. Parking is limited in the front, but theres plenty of spaces in the back. Just beware of the narrow spaces and theres no exit to the main road in the back. Highly recommend if you want quality Indian. I will definitely be back to try their other speciality dishes.

Our current go-to for all the buffet needsInterior: I'll be honest, the interior is kinda small, a bit dingy. The parking is tough. But you're in for a treatFood: pretty good variety with mutton/goat curry; some sort of biryani, chicken tikka/butter chicken, fish, chick peas. The flavors are all on point and it's somewhat an open kitchen.Price: from what I remember, pretty reasonable in the $15-20 range for weekdayOverall: 5/5

We loved the food from here. We ordered takeout. We were surprised by their generous portions! It took us a few meals to completely devour their delicious food!-Ian loved their Biriyani. We opted for "mild" flavor and it was the right heat for him.-Humongous portions on their entree's-Entree's came with sides. Rice & Raita.-Chicken Biriyani had huge chunks of Chicken which was delicious marinated & tender!-Goat Biriyani had great flavor. -Goat Korma was cooked thoroughly. I scooped out all the Oil/Butter and it was healthy eats afterwards. I definitely recommend this Indian restaurant if you are in this neighborhood!

D E L I C I O U S! We have always wanted to try this place for lunch for their buffet and it did not disappoint. The experience from the very catering and friendly service to the ambiance was great! Each dish was hot and freshly prepared and most importantly, was very tasty! Lunch time was busy around 1230 as each table was occupied. Make sure to check in on Yelp for a special treat! Will definitely be back! Enjoy!

This restaurant is situated in a small strip mall. I would advise finding a way to make a right turn into the area vs left because the left turn is super hard when there is traffic. Lastly the parking lot and restaurant are both small so pre plan if your going to come during a rush hour.That being said I ordered the garlic nan, butter chicken, and paneer. Both tasted really good and comparable to other good Indian restaurants I've been to. Service was also good, and the waiter had great suggestions for appetizers.I definitely will consider coming back here, but probably on off hours.

Three of us had dinner at Saffron last night and enjoyed the best Indian food that we have experienced in Northern Virginia! The restaurant is in an unassuming strip mall in Falls Church that offers ample parking.We began the meal with palak chaat, and followed that with lamb rogan gosh, palak paneer, dal maharani, and chicken korma. We also had the mint paratha.All of the food was delicious, but the standout was the palak paneer which was so much more favorable than other restaurants. We had more than enough to eat, and the helpful staff provided sturdy containers for our leftovers!A wonderful evening at a wonderful restaurant!
