Saffron — Restaurant in Rajasthan

We have visited Jaisalmer a few times on business. Saffron is at the top of the beautiful historic haveli Nancha in the main busy square of Jaisalmer. Like stepping into a fairytale! Just entering the haveli is an experience, you have to discover the ancient stairway up to the rooftop. We have enjoyed tables outside on their terrace and under the tented restaurant. The food is well worth waiting for and all freshly prepared (we checked!). We had indian dishes, best poppadoms ever! loved the vegetable kofta, and also discovered their yummy chilli potatoes.

We were well looked after and and having tried a few other places think Saffron is a good choice - they even remembered us when we went back!

Spacious terrace for a good dinner in the evening

N26.916048 E70.910795 Near the western gate on the Gandhi Chowk Square is Saffron Restaurant on the roof of the Hotel Nachana Haveli, a wonderful cozy hotel with many courtyards and adjoining rooms.

In the evening, we returned for a generous vegetarian thali dish, not printed on the menu. It was delicious. The many biting mosquitoes diminished the experience, but staff quickly took effective measures.

Saffron serves excellent non-vegetarian and vegetarian food....

Poor pretentious eating house located in a high end hotel Positive:Amazing hotel where royal family stays with rich culture and history. Negative: They replaced most of the chef and staff who used to make the restaurant great and lively. Food is badly prepared with frozen meat and not fresh vegetables. Unattentive staff who only speaks broken and unclean English. Making uncomfortable noise when serving and clearing the plates. Never said thank you at the end of our meal. You paid premium for high end restaurant when you end up in a local touristy Indian restaurant with cheap service, unhygiene food and...
