The 9 Best Indian Restaurants In Austin - Austin - The Infatuation

"Saffron is the type of place that turns a random Tuesday night into what feels like a memorable Saturday. The relaxed dining room is nicer than its Westlake strip-mall exterior might lead you to believe, and you can BYOB for a small corkage fee to make the whole meal a little more special (there’s also a small bar). The menu leans 80% Indian, with a few Nepalese specialties making up the rest, and you should incorporate both sides into your order. Start with some samosa chat and some momos to kick things off, then work your way through as many of the Indian curries as you can (we like the lamb rogan josh). Don’t worry about over-ordering—the curries taste even better the next day or when you get the midnight munchies later." - nicolai mccrary
