Saffrron Restaurant

I tried their butter chicken and butter nan and its really delicious. Nan comes with pure butter smell and the service was really great. While having dinner they asked twice how we’re going with the food which was nice. Amount of the food was good too, i have tried so many Indian restaurants in Darwin and at some point found out the amount of food and price was not exactly matched my expectations. Really nice and loved their lunch options as well with a very reasonable amount and price.

Visited in the new year, service was incredibly poor with food taking well over an hour due to kitchen prioritizing deliveries. Bathroom was filled with overflowing buckets and pools of water due to leaks. Table of 10 only a few people ordered entrees, staff served these on a single plate when asked if they could be split they just scrapped some of the dishes off and and put a dirty plate back in front of us. Drinks had to be returned as they were served without alcohol as well when ordered. Staff softly spoken and cannot be heard were also unable to advise of anything to do with specials.

I was probably HANGRY when I got there to pick up order. I was told to step out n wait for the food, new to Darwin n it's weather and I was super Upset & soo ready to cancel the order. Another Guy came out and dealt with the whole situation, made me feel heard & understood. It was spectacular. He is a superstar. He saved my evening & fav restaurant on my list considering I already have slim options in Darwin.

The best Indian I've ever had. Every dish is delicious whether dining in or takeaway, service is excellent and the atmosphere very pleasant.

We had dine in on Wednesday night with family. Worse dal tadka we ever had ,It was like khichri and even naan breads too expensive over $8.First time in last 16 years I have seen the price of breads too high it shouldn’t be more than $4-$5 just for garlic and butter naan and for stuffed naan it shouldn’t be more than $7

Had a great time with my old man from India. He found the food quite authentic and flavoursome. We ordered the Nellore prawn curry and omg! My mouth is watering just thinking about it again. The waiter was really lovely and warm, he ensured we were happy and even gave us a complimentary ice cream. Would definitely be going back there more often :)

Despite a mix up in an online order The staff went above and beyond and we were very happy with the food and order and will definitely order again. We had the vegan tasting pack and it was AMAZING! Thanks Saffron.

Ordered take away from here multiple times and used to be my go to Indian but quite a few things are really lacking now. Pickup times totally wrong and incorrect, customer service has gone out the door and food quality isn’t as good as what it used to be. Suggest try elsewhere.

Great service and broad menu. We opted for the tasting menu which was incredibly generous (maybe a bit too much). The drinks were fun and overall there was something for everyone.

Their food is very good. But a bit sad that dining there isnt as feasible and is much better for takeway.

Fantastic food. Could have been a little more spicy for me. But i'm sure if I asked they would have brought me some more chillies.

Friendly service and amazing food. I had the tandoori chicken with garlic naan and lamb Rogan Josh. Everything was perfect

We drove past this place and decided to get take away because we were tired and hungry. What we got was some of the best Indian food I have had in a very long time. We had the beef vindaloo, lamb rogan josh, barramundi curry and butter chicken. All I can say is Wow Wow wow. I could eat here every day it was totally delicious every dish was amazing cooked to perfection with the correct amount of spices, it's hot but that's how Indian food should be.

Best indian in Australia. I love this pace- they have awesome take away containers - dosent hurt the environment anywhere near as much. Loads of vegetarian options or devine fish! The lunch specials are a cheap way to get a taste. Phone orders worked for me and when I picked up was ready on time piping hot and so friendly!

Really nice surprise. Saffron is definitively the Indian restaurant to try in Darwin. The Barramundi, with saffron rice, is just yummy. Just disappointed with the Raita.

Quite pricy and heavy on the garlic, but unique and worth a try. Great food, not always what one expects from an Indian place. Friendly staff. Great atmosphere. Amusing tweets. Cater to vegetarians and vegans.

Love it. Have eaten there regularly since they opened. Food and service always top notch and the takeaways are good too.

Excellent place for a meal. Great staff, menu and wine selections. Many of their meals (most) are gluten free so that is terrific. The butter chicken is the best and just love the lamb cutlets. Definitely recommended for visitors to the Top End or a regular place for casual dinning by locals.

I have only had one meal here, but it was fantastic and I left fully-satisfied. Very tasty Indian food and a wealth of options. I suggest the sampler for a group.
