Saffron Indian Restaurant — Restaurant in Florida

Stepping into Saffron Indian Restaurant is like wandering into a vibrant, aromatic tapestry of culinary splendor. Their sumptuous dinner buffet, available every evening from 4:30 (except Tuesday when they’re closed), beckons you with a dazzling array of meticulously prepared dishes that sing with exotic, satisfying flavors. At a mere $24.99, this is no ordinary buffet—it’s a splendid, spice-infused journey through the very heart of Indian cuisine, as if you’ve been whisked away to a bustling bazaar, sitting down to your favorite thali meal in the heart of India itself.

Begin with their perfectly crisp samosas, whose delicate, golden shells crackle invitingly with each bite, revealing a warm, savory filling that will have you instantly enthralled. Then, lose yourself in the luscious paneer masala, its luxuriant sauce brimming with robust seasonings that effortlessly waltz across your palate. The vegetable biryani, exquisitely aromatic and studded with tender, impeccably spiced vegetables, transforms each forkful into a fragrant, flavor-packed celebration. And do not miss the naan—those pillowy, buttery slices of heaven arrive at your table irresistibly warm, a soft embrace of comforting perfection that elevates every mouthful.

Vegetarians will feel as though they’ve stumbled into a verdant paradise, yet carnivores will find their own dreams fulfilled by the sumptuous butter chicken, drenched in a velvety, rich sauce that is nothing short of rapturous. Sip on their soothing, delicately spiced chai tea, letting its warmth and complexity prolong the feast, inviting you to savor each blissful, transcendent moment. Finally, prepare to be utterly captivated by their creamy mango dessert, an outrageously indulgent treat that tastes like pure tropical sunshine dancing across your tongue.

For an extra layer of delight, be sure to ask for Ferlene—she provides incredible, attentive service, adding a personal touch to the entire experience. Saffron Indian Restaurant’s dinner buffet is an enchanting gastronomic masterpiece—a shimmering spectacle of authenticity, artistry, and flavor. I’m still daydreaming...

First and last time eating here. I love Indian food and have tried a lot of different dishes but today I came to Saffron in Clermont and was severely disappointed for a few main reasons.

I do believe the restaurant could have potential, hence it not being a complete one star review but we ordered a chicken 65 appetizer along with a lamb curry as a main course and garlic naan.

The chicken 65 came out first and upon taking my first bite it tasted great but as I cut into my third piece I noticed it was undercooked and raw in the middle so I politely returned said dish.

Lamb korma came out and was really tasty and the waiter was polite in offering us to remake the chicken 65 to which I politely declined.

Upon finishing our meal we did decide to order a lamb curry to go and the waiter mentioned that he took the liberty to make us a chicken 65 to go as well at no charge, however at time of checkout (while I unfortunately threw up in the bathroom) I came to find out that he still charged my wife for the chicken 65 that we had not requested to get once the undercooked food had been returned.

So in summary, place has potential and good spices in the food but overall experience was highly disappointing due to the raw food experience, over promising and on perceived customer service but under delivering and being straight up deceitful.

I've visited Saffron Indian Restaurant with the hope of becoming a regular customer, but I've grown increasingly concerned about the management's practices. It has come to my attention that they discourage or even penalize patrons for ordering through third-party delivery services like DoorDash. This is an unacceptable business model.

The decision to partner with these platforms was a business choice, and any associated costs are part of that operational decision. This practice is especially troubling for those with health conditions or disabilities who may rely on delivery services. It is unethical to imply or enact a policy that would result in a subpar experience for these customers. A business should treat all patrons with respect and provide consistent quality, regardless of how they place...
