SAFFRON NOLA New Orleans Reviews from The Last Year
Tl;dr high expectations, but underperforming; lacked
Tl;dr high expectations, but underperforming; lacked seasoning and depth but great presentation and nice ambience The wife and I are visiting New Orleans for the week, celebrating our second marriage anniversary. We've somehow become our parents, so we decided we should have some Indian food while traveling. We were excited about Saffron's menu, which advertised to have a New Orleans twist to Indian food. The staff was very friendly and the restaurant itself has a nice modern, yet elegant aesthetic. We had made a reservation and were seated quickly. Our waiter was very nice and gave descriptions for the dishes. My wife ordered a mocktail, which had a mix of lime, roasted mango and mint and was lovely. Good blend of flavors with the roasted mango not being overpowering and overall being refreshing. We ordered four small plates first. The fried oysters with naan triangles and salmon pani puri are how we started. The fried oysters were good, but nothing special. They had an average Nola grilled oyster with naan triangles, so missed the opportunity to incorporate Indian flavors. The salmon pani puri again had an eye-catching presentation, but lacked the depth and refreshing flavor that gol gappe are known for. These should be irresistible balls of goodness that you can't get enough of; and that feeling just wasn't there. Next up were the onion pakoda and chaat bird's nest. Onion pakoda had an inconsistency; again, the expectation was crunch throughout with seasoning, but we bit into some soft portions. The dish had two chutneys that gave it nice depth though. As great as the presentation of the chaat bird's nest was, it was the most disappointing. A garbanzo mixture on top of a bed of fried potato strings topped with two chutneys and a crunch, overlying a bed of yogurt; great in theory but again lacking in flavor in garbanzo mixture with the potato strings over-fried and dense at the bottom. Last up was the chicken biryani. Nice presentation in a cast iron pot with saffron, fried onions and soft boiled egg on top. The saffron definitely came through in color and flavor. The chicken was well done and flavorful. Probably the highlight of the meal. However the kitchen seemed backed up and so the dish didn't come out for a while. Overall, a solid 3 out of 5. There's definitely potential but a lack in consistency and a lack of flavor. Over promised but under delivered.
Just happened upon this place while visiting last week and
Just happened upon this place while visiting last week and was blown away by the food and creativity! Had the oysters, potato nest, dahl and paneer dishes. Service was spot on, and we had an excellent time! Only feedback was there was a line item on the bill "Kitchen Appreciation". When we asked the server if this went to the kitchen staff, they said it was to pay for medical coverage for the kitchen staff. While I appreciate the owner covering his employees benefits, I find these add-on's confusing and often are detrimental to the gratuity that is left for the staff.
You won’t regret the food and the experience :-)
Hands down the best Indian food !! Starting from the entry , to the chef - everyone was amazing. We had the onion pakora , potato chat and the chicken tandoori for appetizers, each one of them Came with their own dipping sauces. Each of them tasted different and unique - a sign of a great experience. For the entrees , we had the gulf fish , eggplant Hyderabadi , corn kurma and the naans. The truffle naan is literally to die for ! The curd rice on top of the fish is so authentic !! In addition to food , Landon our host was amazing with wonderful recommendations and wonderful service ! He made our day and was very kind All through. All in all an evening well spent!
We were in New Orleans celebrating a friend's milestone
We were in New Orleans celebrating a friend's milestone birthday and decided to try an Indian restaurant for dinner. We picked Saffron based on yelp reviews. The entire dinner was an amazing experience - right from the cocktails to the appetitzers and then the entrees and dessert, each dish was bursting with flavor and authenticity. We had ordered the fish which came with a dollop of curd rice and pickle! We loved it so much that we asked if they could send us seconds of the curd rice. I would like to throw and big shout out to our amazing waiter Landon who always had a smile on his face and was spot on with his recommendations. The highlight of the day was the chef who graciously came out and checked in on each table. You can see his passion reflected in each of the dishes served today. It has been an amazing experience. If you are in NOLA or visiting, do check out this gem of a restaurant.
Food was so intensely good: tasty, healthy, unique.
The service was amazing, and they nailed it on their recommendations. Would love to come back and try the cocktails.
This was among the best Indian restaurants I've ever been
This was among the best Indian restaurants I've ever been to. Fancy ambiance makes it a great choice for a special night out, but amazing food makes it a great choice anytime! The biriyani was fantastic and a plentiful meal; loved that I could taste the saffron in it.
These dishes were probably once great.
Authentic Indian, from street food to classic dishes, with a NOLA twist. Unfortunately, on a midweek visit, the whole meal seemed rehearsed and mechanical, lacking the character I'm sure it once had. The oysters came out immediately, as though they were sitting there, waiting for us. The gumbo was piping hot, but the side of rice (and the rice that came with the pork vindaloo) was cold. The Potato Nest Chaat, which is made to look special (framed in a box on the menu) was $25 - probably 25x what it costs to make. They even took away the chutneys and told us to let them know if we wanted more (there's a better way not to waste). And the old-fashioned cocktail was "pre-batched", leaving one to wonder where the mango chutney was and what was distinctive on this NOLA twist of a classic. The service, however, was excellent.
Not great if you love the classics of American based Indian
Not great if you love the classics of American based Indian cuisine. The naan isn't there. The bright flavors of great Indian food is just missing. Regardless of whether it's traditional or a modern take on this cuisine, you have to impress with flavor. There's not much under the hood here even though the presentation layer is hip. The really fishy and unfresh seafood in the bouillabase is noteworthy and shows the ingredients are pretty subpar. But the really boring naan that comes out cold and almost crusty really show that they have no idea what they're doing. Three stars for making up for the food with excellent service and nice ambiance. There was no alcohol in my cocktail.

Saffron is one our favorite places in New Orleans.
We usually make the reservations a month ahead to make sure we get in. The cocktails are top of the line at Saffron! The charbroiled oysters served with naan bread are the best I've ever tasted. Friends that came with us could not stop talking about them. For the table we ordered Pork Vindaloo, a few orders of chicken Biryani, one of the specials, a kebob dish, and a few gumbos. Every dish was better than the last. The food here is amazing! Saffron's staff are very attentive and the restaurant is so warm and inviting with ambient lighting. The bar is great, too.
Really enjoyed the experience here.
Beautiful ambiance, really low key. The grilled shrimp curry was much milder than I expected but I still inhaled it. Would stay away from the roti and only get the naan. Chicken biryani was good not great -- didn't quite meet expectations. The squash appetizer was the best dish we had (my picture came out blurry so I couldn't post )
Abysmal vegetarian options
Excited to see an upscale Indian restaurant in NOLA with outstanding cocktails and ambience. However very disappointed at the lack of any decent vegetarian options on the menu. This is pretty appalling for an Indian restaurant. The few options that were vegetarian were lackluster and lacked any sort of imagination or creativity.
Great dinner for 6 of us including a vegetarian
6 of us came for dinner including a vegetarian who was born in India. The food was very good with great balance of spice...a upscale indian food experience when you don't want to eat at that great hole in the wall place
Indian Creole Fusion!
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

Working on your bid? |
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted. |
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from? |
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered? |
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.

Banned from Resy for selling reservations- Do we have a rat on our hands???
I am new to this app and started off by selling a polo bar reservation and then quickly sold one more reservation. Not long after I received emails from Resy saying all my reservations are cancelled and I am being banned from Resy for life. How could this have possibly happened without a rat telling Resy that I sold the reservation. I need some advice on this situation and let’s catch the rat!
