Azafran Indian Cuisine

This is such a fantastic Indian restaurant (which also doubles as wine bar). They have a really unique menu featuring Indian staples as well as some more creative dishes I hadn’t seen before. Their naan is some of my favourite I’ve had in Colorado (it doesn’t get hard right away like others do) and their blue cheese & rosemary stuffed one was a really interesting variation that paired perfectly with the lamb. Spice levels are customizable for their curries. I like a little spice and their level 3 was perfect. Highly recommend their lamb malai tadka and if you’re a fan of chicken wings and can handle some spice, try the firecracker wings! It doesn’t hurt that their plating is beautiful as well There is a small amount of parking spots right up from and a lot behind

My husband took me here on a date. The food was amazing, especially the desserts. The food was a little expensive but worth every penny. The staff was especially nice! I'll definitely be coming back.

The food here was phenomenal. There was a long list of food so I don’t exactly remember what I got, but as an appetizer I got Naan, it was buttered perfectly and was so good, and I can’t remember my main dish, it was Jasmine rice (I think) with chicken in it and it came with a yogurt dip or something. Actual perfection. My mom had a dish, it was chicken in a kind of mustard color curry with white rice, and as someone who didn’t like Indian food when they first tried it, this makes all of it up. I later tried the cheesecake and boy was it the best cheesecake my tounge has ever tasted. It came with like an orange thing and I wasn’t sure what that was but it looked cool. On the way out I grabbed a mint. Restaurant was fantastic and I recommend to everyone.

Really slow service but staff were friendly. Food quantity is really too less as compared to price. Food is delicious and will not recommend toBiryani lovers.

A wonderful place serving authentic Indian cuisine by Indians. Service was good and decor was chic but functional. Wine selection looked good and well showcased. For starters we had Aloo tikki - well made chat and presentation was top notch. Assorted bread basket had some effort and a good range in selection. My favorite was Baingan Bartha. Overall don't miss the chance if you're in the area. Rishi was very helpful in selections.

If you’re craving an authentic culinary journey through India, look no further than Azafran . Nestled in the heart of Superior this gem of a restaurant promises a delightful experience for your taste buds. Upon entering, you’re greeted with warm hospitality and a cozy ambiance that sets the stage for a memorable dining experience. The menu is a treasure trove of traditional Indian dishes, each prepared with exquisite attention to detail and bursting with flavours that transport you to the streets of Mumbai or Punjab. A must-try dining destination that guarantees an unforgettable experience. Rating: 5/5 - Simply exceptional!

One of the best Indian restaurants we have been to! Menu is vegan/vegetarian friendly and the dishes have their own unique flavors.

This place is now my favorite Indian restaurant. Bar none. They have a separate vegan menu which was amazing. Food was absolutely divine. We ate all vegan and you could never tell that they didn't use any dairy in it. Absolutely incredible and I can't recommend this place enough. Looking forward to coming here again super soon.

My favorite Indian restaurant in Colorado, so it is surprising that I haven't written a review. It is somewhat of a hidden gem, tucked away by the mall. The food is all phenomenal, the naan is unparalleled, and the vibe inside is perfect for a date night.. lunch or dinner. We came here frequently when we lived in the area (and even when we didn't) + we miss it now that we are in Chicago.. even writing this review, I am missing it.. UGH, seriously.. the BEST garlic naan of your life, I promise you.

When you walk in, it feels like you are in fine dining! The restaurant had great seating and even had a private room for bigger families! We went during lunch and it wasn't busy. We were seated and were tended to right away. Food- Samosa 4/5 -- this was great! Only wish it was bigger Fire cracker Wings 4/5 -- the spice level isn't that spicy which I loved. We were still able to enjoy it! Only wish the wings were bigger but overall, great!! Butter chicken 5/5 -- super creamy and buttery! Very flavorful Palak Paneer 5/5 -- this was so good! The cheese tasted so well with it and it was flavorful Garlic Naan 5/5 -- can't go wrong with naan Mango Lassi 5/5 I def would come back! The service was great and the food was phenomonal!

Absolutely delicious food with the perfect amount of flavor! You must absolutely order naan with your food, and my group always opts for the garlic flavored naan. We had some kids with us, and they all enjoyed the white rice, plain naan, and mango lassi. They didn't have chicken korma on their menu, but they were kind enough to accommodate. Service was great and the atmosphere is casual upscale. Great place for celebrating birthdays and anniversaries. 20% service charge is added to your bill of 5 or more people, including kids. Plenty of parking outside. Call ahead for reservations.

The Tandoori Chicken Tikka was incredible!! They have lot of gluten free and Vegan/Vegetarian options too!

I've been wanting to order from here for awhile now and today was finally the day. There are so many things on the menu I'm dying to try, but decided to order some of their top items. The food arrived hot, fresh, and carefully packaged. The GARLIC NAAN is super craveable and the CHICKEN HARIYALI LAZATDAR sauce had such depth of flavor. The chicken was tender and juicy and a good portion size with plenty of sauce which I appreciate. There's nothing worse than not having enough sauce to dip your naan or smother your rice in. If you don't like cilantro, this may not be the dish for you, but I didn't find it to be overpowering at all. The flavors were well balanced and super tasty. Knocked off a star as the wait is a little long and the naan got slightly soggy, but not a dealbreaker at all. Still super delicious and will 100% be ordering this again.

I've been here before when it was still Azitra. They re-branded sometime after the pandemic. It's in a strip mall and parking is plenty! Delicious food and amazing cocktails. They got square footage here! Azafran is an Urdu word for saffron. My fave find here was their Rara Lamb Shank and their very unique and amazing desserts. First off I've never tried a Carrot Pudding like this! It's like what the description says. It's velvety! To make this dessert is a labor of love from what I heard. The difference in temperature between the plate and the pudding surprised us! The House made ice cream shaped like a cheese and soo creamy! The rest of the dishes were equally good but I'm a lamb girl and this is it! Very memorable. Kudos to @chefsauravm for the yummy dishes!

The food and atmosphere here feels like upscale Indian food! With a good price point too! The food is delicious with a variety of vegetarian, seafood or beef. Plenty for everyone to choose from. The service has always been great and attentive. My water cup is always full - especially needed when the food tastes spicy but delicious. I went with a group of 10 last night and the service was still just as good when it's just me, my husband and daughter. I ordered a 2/5 spicy scale for my Lamb Pepper Stir Fry. It was a little bit spicier than expected but still delicious. I'm glad I got a 2 and nothing higher! The drink menu offers both alcoholic and non-alcoholic. Their lychee martini cocktail is my favorite! Definitely one of my favorite Indian restaurants! I feel like I always forget to take pics of my food because I dive right in.

Food and service were both amazing!! The staff gave helpful recommendations so I ended up with a great meal. Strongly recommend!

Going in the host seemed nice and the restaurant itself seemed clean. The person refilling drinks while efficient seemed very unhappy and brought the mood down. While the food was great the service was mediocre and somewhat slow despite it not seeming busy from where I was sat. The portions were big and the day soup (some kind of coconut tomato soup if I recall correctly) were really good. If the service was better than the restaurant would be rated higher.

Ambience is really nice and flavors are amazing. Although the chickpea stew entree was salty, the appetizers ( chaat and cauliflower Manchurian) were very good. Authentic and good quality.

If I could give this place more than 5 stars, I would. We were greeted immediately upon walking and and taken right to a booth. The restaurant was clean and nice. The menu is very clearly marked for vegan and gluten free offerings but they also have a separate vegan menu available upon request. And the food itself was outstanding. I can't recommend this place enough!

Our favorite restaurant for lunch or dinner! Fabulous food, outstanding service, kind people that care about your experience. Charming ambience for a date, evening out, or family. We're so lucky they are here.

I absolutely love Azafran (formerly Azitra). I'm not exactly adventurous with food, so I was apprehensive when my department had Indian cuisine in another town. I was unimpressed, and resigned myself to "I don't like Indian food" based on that one experience. Then a coworker insisted we try Azitra. What a difference! Eventually I encountered a dish I thought my wife would like, so I brought the family. We're not in that part of Broomfield much anymore, but when we are, this is on the top of our list of restaurants to eat at. From what I understand, during COVID, the restaurant sold (to employees?), so they changed their name to Azafran. Nearly the same menu, save a couple new things. What I absolutely love about the place is that they know me and my usual order. Once I brought my team members there for lunch and forgot to order a mango lassi... and the lady taking my order reminded me. :)

I had an incredible dining experience at Azafran in Broomfield, CO! The Shrimp Meljol was a burst of flavors, and the Short Rib melted in my mouth. The Kofta Anarkali was a delightful surprise, and the Azafran Kabob Sampler showcased the chef's expertise. The Old Fashion with Indian whiskey was a unique and enjoyable twist. Additionally, their extravagant wine selection complemented the dishes perfectly. Azafran is a culinary gem, offering a diverse menu and impeccable service. Highly recommend!

Overall the food and ambiance of the restaurant was really wonderful. My party and I shared the kebab sampler, and although it was a fairly small portion, the food itself was delicious. I personally ordered their daily soup, which was a coconut and tomato soup, and also their butter chicken spicy level 3. Both dishes were tasty and I would definitely order the same coconut tomato soup if they were to offer it. Service did take a while and noticed that there were only 2 servers and 1 other hostess/server. However, every single one of their staff took care of our table and made sure we were enjoying our meals. I also noticed at the time of writing this review that the restaurant was hiring for waiters. I definitely would come here again!

5 stars all around! The service was excellent, and the food was so good! It's also more fancy on the inside than you would expect from the outside! We had so much food for our group and everything was loved! I think the group's favorite was the chicken with Cashew sauce! We will definitely be back!

This place is spectacular! Delicious entrees, creative cocktails, elegant ambiance, and attentive staff. We enjoyed everything about Azafran and we'll definitely be back.

This place is a hidden gem! Food, service & ambiance was fantastic. I had the butter chicken, garlic naan and samosas and everything was delicious. Will definitely come back in the future!

This is the first time this restaurant didn't deliver in every way. My husband and I went for Valentine's Day and made a reservation. When we arrived, our table was not ready and had to wait a bit to even be greeted. At our table, we sat for 15 minutes waiting for someone to come with water or take a drink order. No apologies for the wait. We ordered wine and had questions about some items on the pre fixe menu and since the waitress said she didn't normally work here, she went to get someone to answer our questions. Our questions answered, we ordered our 3 courses. It was another long wait for the appetizers to arrive, when they did they were not hot and the portions were nothing like they are as a regular appetizer order. We got the Gobi Manchurian and the shrimp. They are both delicious when served hot. After waiting another long interval, our main course arrived and both were delicious though the lamb chops were a bit over cooked. Since they were flavorful and not tough, we enjoyed them. I ordered the lobster which was very small but perfectly cooked. The sauce was spicy and well-balanced with a hint of sweet with the savory. We waited so long for our dessert but it never arrived nor were we checked in with. We finally let someone know we just wanted to take our dessert to go because we had already been waiting for too long. We asked for the check and both the dessert and check came without apologies or a discount or offer to make it right. We paid leaving an over-generous too hoping it all goes to the staff who were working under atypical structures. While it was a disappointing Valentine's dinner, this was not how we usually receive service here and are hoping it is something they will fix. We won't be back for Valentine's Day.

If you are on a gluten free or on a Keto diet, you will love this restaurant. They take dietary restrictions seriously and adapt the dish to make it work for you. The Tandori Chicken Tikka is delicious! Our waiter Vic was outstanding and so helpful. Highly recommend!

Went here on 12/16/23. First time here. Went here on date night. Wanted to try something new. The entire staff was great. Explained the menu of we had questions. Tried the Kabab Sampler. Smaller pieces but very tasty. Ordered the Garlic Naan and Roti. Good for dipping. For entrees we got Lamb Malai Tadka (spice level 2), & Dhaba Haandi Chicken (spice level 3). Level 3 was too spicy for me. But all the flavors were so good! Definitely recommend and will definitely be back. Staff was very attentive. Cheers!

Update: their AI generated response is filled with grammatical errors and clearly a copy paste. No thoughtful consideration or genuine resolution was offered. The food was absolutely spoiled raw, and now they're flagrantly lying saying we didn't converse about that. Filth This is literally *the most* unprofessional, disgusting business I've ever had the misfortune of eating at. Oh and my credit card company found Azitra to be in the wrong and rightfully awarded a full chargeback to me--enjoy the future difficulties of applying for business loans or anything related--your credit just took another hammering

The artist formerly known as Azitra, Azafran is apparently the same managers that have changed the name with their new ownership. Visited on a Thursday night as a 3-top. The restaurant was quiet and just about empty around 630p. Parking right out front is a breeze. There was no host at the front desk to greet us. It was soon evident there was only about 3 people working, a water boy, a waitress, and the cook(s). By 7, a lot more people came in, and they went from 2 tables to about 8 pretty quickly, obviously too much for one waitress (who was also seemingly cleaning tables with the water boy). We were ready to order but a couple tables that were sat after us got to order before us, which also meant our food took longer to come out. Where they lacked in staffing, they did make up with the food. The chicken korma (we asked for mild) was excellent, neither too thick or too runny, with good flavor and tender white meat chicken. Fair portion as well. The chicken tikka was a little spicy (they didn't ask for spice level preference) but flavorful and tender enough (I've had my fair share of dry chicken tikka over the years). Throw in some steamy basmati rice and a couple of orders of warm and soft plain naan and it was the perfect amount for 3 hungry mouths. Went down well with a glass of pinot noir. We needed to head out to an engagement but it was tough to get the check and bounce since the waitress was overwhelmed, so we were held hostage longer than necessary. She also had a bit of an attitude, but I will chalk it up to the stress and lack of help. The prices are a little on the steep side -- the taste and quality justifies them but the service and staffing has room for improvement. I have no problem giving them another shot since I'm happy to pay for good quality chicken korma, but hopefully the new name brings an improved experience.

The restaurant is lovely on the inside and the staff is was very nice. Indian food is one of my favorites and this didn't cut it for me. Ordered an appetizer that was made of cauliflower. It was decent. Ordered the Sassy Lassi which was good but small for the price. The lamb chops lacked flavor and the sauce for the lamb chops also lacked flavor. The regular Naan was good. The food presentation was great. It was the flavor that was missing with the main dish and the sauce.

Flavorsome food, Great Garlic naan, decent quantity! Very quick service if the restaurant is not that busy. Decent ambiance! We had a lunch little late, thus, the restaurant was not busy then and it was peaceful! Cheers!

The food and service are always spectacular. We cant wait to have the tomato coconut milk soup. Its always a great start to a fine meal. and as always paired with a great bottle of wine.

I've been to Azafran twice and enjoyed everything I've had here - vegetarian and seafood; starters, sides, and main dishes; spicy and mild. The shrimp achari tadka was especially delicious! The chef is very accommodating about dietary restrictions/aversions. Really nice ambience too.

The food is good, but the portion sizes are ridiculously small. I mentioned this to the manager and she was completely unapologetic. I'm sorry, but if you can't serve a decent amount of food at those prices, you don't deserve the business.

Stopped in for take out on Christmas Eve and was happy they were open. I was greeted by a wonderfully, professional host. The host took my order and it was going to be 20 min wait which was not a concern. There was a comfortable sitting area and a nice bar area. The restaurant is nice looking. The restroom stall is tiny. The entree was $17 and the garlic naan $5. I ordered the veggie curry. For the price, the portion was smaller than I typically pay for Indian cuisine. Also, the food was just ok. The seasonings were decent but could have been better.

Food was amazingly delicious and also the service was fantastic. Very accommodating, very friendly, extremely professional. We'll eat again and dine in

Excellent place. The food was great. The staff was fantastic. The manager gal was super nice. We sat outside and it was a very nice experience. It wasn't too crowded at the time we were there. I would definitely go again. Thanks yall!

Absolutely killer dinner for a party of 7. We ordered multiple appetizers and main dishes, and all of them were wonderfully prepared. I don't think you can go wrong with anything, as everything from the cauliflower to the shrimp was spot on delicious. Great service (Bravo Jason!) and just a great experience too to bottom. We'll be back soon.

This place was amazing! We had a large group go and they were very accommodating. We ordered a wide variety of drinks and then food, and everything was brought to the table and served in a quick manner. The drinks were solid and they had some fun cocktails like the Sassy Lassie. Additionally, the entrees were all great! We got a wide variety from butter chicken and tikkas to veggie dishes to nigiri. We ordered a lot and then shared amongst the table, which was perfect! There was a ton of food and we got to sample a lot of different options. Overall, would highly recommend Azafran! Will have to try and swing by again next time I'm in Denver!

This place was disappointing. I had the Gobi Manchurian, lamb pepper fry, rice and Naan. Gobi Manchurian: old cauliflower that was neither crunchy nor tender. Some sort of tomato paste based dressing on it. Very underwhelming. Naan: good Lamb pepper fry: not sure what they were going for here but it's definitely not Indian. It was like eating pieces of lamb steak drenched in again tomato paste and some spices. The bell peppers were pretty much raw. Not good at all. Rice: overcooked. Dessert: I passed based on the rest of the food. It's a nice place with a very good wine collection. Too bad the food doesn't come close to matching the place. If you're looking for authentic Indian food this place definitely ain't it.

The food at Azafran is really good. What we ordered: Fire Cracker Chicken Wings - Wings were spicy and juicy. I think the sauce used was the buffalo sauce mixed with Indian spices. The taste was great. Azafran's Kabab Sampler - This is a must try. The Shrimp was the best. The marinade was coriander-based and was amazing. Chicken and Lamb were good too. Garlic Naan + Chili Garlic Naan: The usual naan, soft, fresh and buttery. Peshawari Naan : I had never tried this, so went for it. If you like sweet Naan you can go for it. But I personally wouldn't be ordering it. Dhaba Haandi Chicken: I wasn't wowed by the dish. I wouldn't label it as a Dhaba style dish. Kulfi Of the Daily: We had the Rose+Mango Kulfi. I prefer having my kulfi with Faluda. But then the way it was presented and taste, it was good. What I will try again:Fire Cracker Chicken Wings, Azafran's Kabab Sampler, Chili Garlic Naan

Lovely ambiance and great Indian food. Nice wine selection! There was no wait for 2 for dinner and the servers were very attentive. I'm gluten-free, so I loved the symbols on the menu!

While visiting Broomfield, we decided to visit this Indian restaurant. The ambience was good. The service was good, but the food was not at par with other big city, Indian restaurants like Chicago, Houston or New York. We ordered Gobi Manchurian as an appetizer. It was covered in some tomato sauce, not Manchurian sauce. Then we ordered garlic Naan, rice, palak paneer, chicken tikka masala, and Chole. All were well spiced, but too salty. Overall, the salt level of the food was very high. I would prefer to have less salt than more salt. You can always add more. But you cannot take it off. The chicken in tikka masala was overcooked. The rice and naan were good. I will check out another restaurant next time.

I went here for lunch the other day, and I was not disappointed. I ordered the butter chicken and got the sweet corn soup with a glass of Riesling. I will go back as the ambiance is lovely and the staff was friendly.

I was staying at a hotel across the street and went Sat night around 5:30pm, was pretty busy but got seated without a reservation. When I left they were full. The food was tasty and they let you pick a heat level 1-5. They have Indian beer and I enjoyed a king fisher. Very extensive menu. I got pampad and eggplant. If you are in the area check them out. Enjoy!!

Absolutely delicious food. Incredible flavor for every dish we tried. The service was fantastic and very attentive. The restaurant was clean, comfortable and all and all a delight to dine it. I will be coming back on a regular basis and would recommend it to anyone looking to have a delicious meal.

This is a hidden gem. I thought I knew all the Indian restaurants in the area but had never found this one before. The food was excellent. I tried one of their lamb specialties that I have never seen anywhere else. The lunch menu offers a great selection at reasonable prices. Along with your entree you get naan, rice, and soup or salad. It is what I call Indian modern --- a very pleasant atmosphere, not decorated in the traditional Indian pictures. The Manager walked around inquiring if everything was satisfactory. I definitely will go back and recommend it.

This is definitely the best Indian we have had in the Denver area by leaps and bounds. Azitra is an amazing find in such a random place; you are getting one of the higher end Indian food options, in Bloomfield versus Denver or Boulder. The ambience, drink options, wine list are top notch. But even better is the food. The Food is almost universally delicious; the ingredients are clearly fresh and the spice levels are very balanced. The ingredients shine, which is rare for an indian restaurant. Standouts on the menu include: Lamb chops; Chicken curries (both tikka masala as one other one); the Daals are phenomenal (both yellow and black); the breads are great as well. The appetizers are good, but not as amazing as the entree's mentioned. We like the Gobi Manchurian (but could do with a little less tomato-sauce feel vs Manchurian sauce). desserts good well

Good food fast. Probably the best food in the area. We got the medium hot and it was a great level of heat for me and my wife.

In my opinion the best Indian in 80027 and Boulder. Great service too. Great veggie and vegan options.

Have been eating here since it was the other place and honestly - it is still amazing. The food is fresh the sauces on point, the naan delish. Some small points to observe they prepare each chai to order AND it is unsweetened so you can sweeten it or not to your liking. The plates come out fast and look amazing. Others may have said, this isn't a buffet style but rather every dish cooked to order. The staff is fast, efficient and courteous. This is a pretty spot on place to have a nice meal. Lunch can get busy (rightfully so) and I do not know about dinner.

With 5 open booths, we were not allowed to sit at one. Only dirty tables surrounding us. I will never eat here ever after how we were just treated!

Hands down, this is the best Indian restaurant in the Denver / Boulder metro. Everything on the menu is delicious, service is incredible, upscale ambience and incredible wine list. I lived in the UK for 5 years, and until finding Azafran, hadn't been able to find Indian food in the US that compares. Azafran competes and beats the food at many of the best UK restaurants, by far.

The food is incredible! I have sampled a dozen or more items and all have been so well prepared with some of the best flavors and spices you can imagine. The atmosphere is modern, clean and very inviting. The service and attention to detail is impeccable! I will continue to dine here and enjoy all they have to offer.

Literally so so amazing!!!!! Would definitely go again, especially for the rosemary blue cheese kulcha
