Let me say, NOLA is one of my favorite cities for amazing food. The oysters in town are plentiful and delicious. But when I tell you that the charbroiled oysters are the very best I have ever had, I mean that says something. I still talk about these oysters and look longingly at the photos. They were out of shell on a very hot oyster plate that had a well for each oyster. They are tender, juicy and the most flavorful oysters and it is served with naan bread. I am pretty sure we got an onion pakora and an entree (both of which were delicious) but the highlight of the night was the oysters. We also had the chocolate cake for dessert which was also memorable. But those oysters were on point. The place is a bit small so make sure you make reservations. The servers were on top of everything. We wanted for nothing except maybe more oysters. Do you self a favor and get the oysters here.

Incredible dinner! Had a dinner by myself for the first time in a while. Sat at the bar as there was space. (If you want a table, get a resy!) Paul was an amazing bartender. Lots of TLC for the drinks he made and the recommendations on the menu. The cocktail Blue Steel was out of this world. The flavors that hit through the entirety of a sip was truly mind blowing. Indian flair for sure which makes these cocktails so unique. Truly a must. Lamb Chops & Oysters were mind blowing. The sauce on the lamb chops was just amazing - comforting and delicious. This was perfect for the winter weather. The oysters are also so comforting. Flavors were unique and the texture profile was incredible from the crunch to the pillow texture of the naan. You should NOT skip this. I also had the gumbo and the squash which were so so yummy. The gumbo was more on the creole side - very tasty but I wouldn't put it so high on the list. The squash was delightful - I would order this again as it was soft and bright with flavor. Saffron deserves its recognition across the board. CHEERS!

The food and experience at saffron was phenomenal. Each dish was more memorable than the next and the overall experience left us satisfied and happy I can't wait to go back.

So delicious. Had amazing cocktails, and just shared a bunch of small plates. Will definitely be back to try more

The employees were all extremely gracious and welcoming. The environment is a little loud so it might not be a great place for having a conversation, like a first date or talking business. But it's great for friends! I recommend ordering family style because the dishes are large. Great place to be a little bit adventurous because everything on the menu is tasty! The chocolate cake for dessert was crazy good. It was very light but still rich.

This is a great spot to sit at the bar and get some amazing drinks and cocktails! I highly recommend the chargrilled oysters - finger lickin' good. The vanilla handcuffs cocktail was delicious and came with a cute pair of handcuffs and lock on the bottom. Staff is so sweet and attentive! I can't wait to go back.

Lamb chops, seafood curry, royal paneer. We ordered naan too. Oh and I had the Bombay shrimp Everything was good!! Chef's kiss

My husband and I have passed Saffron so many times while browsing Magazine street and we finally made reservations. The food here is great but make sure you come hungry as the portions are large! The Tuna Crudo Chaat was super fresh and the mango sauce added a lightness to the dish. I love any type of crudo and this dish is a must. We also got the Truffle Naan and it was super soft and fluffy with a moderate truffle flavor. The Seafood Curry comes in a cute presentation with basmati rice and a smokey lime. There were large shrimp and a good amount of seafood in the curry. We also got the Chicken Biriyani and this dish was our favorite. The chicken was tender and the saffron rice was so good I could eat it alone. The soft boiled egg was also a nice touch. It comes with a side dish of yogurt to be mixed in the rice. Like I mentioned, the portions are large and you will definitely have leftovers for lunch the next day. I would definitely come back to Saffron the next time I am in New Orleans!

Indian/Creole fusion? Sign me up! This was a great meal all around, and I can see why the chef is a James Beard finalist. The dining room and ambience is wonderful, very modern and with a cool modern playlist in the background. Service was on point at every juncture with a friendly staff, and we even had an appearance from the chef to present and serve the Biryani dish. The cocktail list is large, diverse and very interesting, not to mention delicious. The sommelier was great and helped explain our beverage options. Our waitress was friendly and professional. How about the food you ask? An explosion of flavors! Do not pass up on the "oyster bed roast". Fantastic flavors, perhaps not really Indian flavors, but wow did this plate surprise me with delicious tasting oysters. The onion Pakoda was another big hit at our table. Somewhat like a blooming onion but oh so much better. I could have eaten the entire dish on my own, but grudgingly shared with the other diners at our table. We were a party of four, and all were happy with our food. Entrees were reasonably sized and shareable if you have some appetizers. The biryani was really delicious and a large portion. Our waitress suggested the side order of Raita, which was a pretty sophisticated rendition, and so glad we ordered it. We enjoyed the food so much that we were just simply too full to explore the dessert menu. We will absolutely need to visit again on our next trip to New Orleans. In a city of great dining, this is a real gem
