High Vibe Cafe

I can't comment on the meat items but Saffron's vegetarian dishes (chana masala, palak aloo matar) are among the best I've had. Leaps and bounds higher quality than some other restaurants in Omaha. The decor is pretty vibey and the service is very welcoming. Just an overall really pleasant experience. I can't believe lunches are like $15 when hole-in-the-wall places charge more.

I've been coming to Saffron regularly since it opened two years ago and have never been disappointed. The food is amazing, the service is excellent and the atmosphere is warm/welcoming. I recommend Chicken Madrasi and Chicken Biryani but you can't go wrong with any items on the menu. The drinks are great and the wine list is more expansive than expected. One of my very favorite restaurants in Omaha!

Wonderful all round experience. As lover of Indian food, this is a true gem of Omaha. The atmosphere, flavor, and staff were all wonderful. Tried many options in a family style dining experience and didn’t have a single dish I wouldn’t recommend. Found the lamb korma particularly delicious. Fantastic, I will be back.

Initially we were just walking in for a cocktail and an appetizer so we could walk to another establishment for dinner. (We don’t get to this area a lot so we wanted to dine and explore.) We ordered the Vegetable and Beef Samosas (not pictured). These veggie puff pastries were stuffed with red potato, and the beef ones with ground beef, and sweet peas. Both served with tamarind and mint chutney. The description on the menu doesn’t explain the absolutely incredible flavor bomb that these are. We knew immediately we had to stay. So for dinner I ordered the Lamb Madrasi and the hubs ordered the Tandori Half Chicken. We also tried the Chicken Chili. ALL AMAZING. So much flavor. I will be dreaming of the Lamb Madrasi and could literally just put that sauce on everything…and I’d feel zero guilt about it. The Tandori Chicken with the Tandori and Tikka Sauce….incredible. I don’t know if I opened my eyes while chewing. I was in my own little world. The power of food, when done right, is just incredible. True joy. Warms the soul. Just enjoyed every single bite. The Chicken Chili - this is an incredible dish. While we know Americanized Chinese (think sweet and sour chicken) this is an Indo-Chinese Take. It’s a little sweet, a little spicy, with the perfect amount of salt. It’s balanced. It’s beautiful. This experience overall was incredible. But the best part was meeting the owners. These wonderful people are working to make this food FRESH. I respect that, for obvious reasons. You can taste the dedication to the integrity of food by the ways in which they honor the ingredients. And our server, she was the sweetest. Incredible! If you haven’t tried them, you should. 🖤

What an utterly delightful experience. The food could stand alone, it was perfection in every way. We had the garlic naan, chicken korma, and chicken masala and it was incredible. Balanced, hot, fresh, clearly made to order. But, the restaurant itself is also beautiful, and the atmosphere is clean and romantic. I highly recommend Saffron for a date night. My only suggestion on ordering is that if you want your meal to have spice/heat I would recommend asking for it be extra spicy.

My favorite restaurant in Omaha! I go as often as I can! Service is freat and the food is exquisite! I highly recommend the Palak Paneer, Chicken Tikka Masala, Samosas, and Garlic Naan. Their cocktails are also wonderful. My fiance and I have spent birthdays, anniversaries, valentine's day, and more here. Wonderful place!

Dining at Saffron was an amazing experience! I’m not well versed with Indian food, but luckily I had someone with me who was. It was graduation weekend, so it was very busy. That didn’t slow down the service. The food was amazing, as was the atmosphere. One thing I did learn is that when it says that the food is spicy, they’re not joking. That being said, the flavors were so amazing! I would definitely recommend dining here! We’ll definitely be back the next time we’re in town.

My wife and I had an amazing experience during our anniversary dinner. Saffron provided elevated takes on Indian staple dishes, as well as presenting completely unique items. Many things on the menu had familiar names, but all had a high level of attention to detail and were unlike anything we have ever tasted. Each dish was incredibly flavorful, with fresh spices and ingredients plentiful. It is clear that every aspect of the dining experience was intentional and designed to elevate the meal, even down to the side salad and soup. The service was excellent, and we were checked on regularly. The intentionality of the restaurant also translates into their fantastic drink program and the overall ambiance of the space. We started with the beef samosa and spinach artichoke naan (and I cannot stop thinking about that naan). Our main courses were the Lamb Vindaloo and Madrasi Tofu. We finished with an order of assorted Kulfi (ice cream), including pistachio and mango.
