Amazing service. Great food. Highly recommend
We are very lucky to have such a fine dine Indian cuisine in Gold Coast. We are searching for it in our five days Stay and finally got it. Food was so tasty, delicious and served with a Indian gesture. Staff was so nice to feel homely. Ambiance is amazing. We fully enjoyed. Indian will really enjoy and realise it to have such a wonderful food away from their home country India.
Beautiful food... lovely decor... very friendly service..went above and beyond with service ...great staff . Must visit for authentic good quality Indian food.
Great food, good service, reasonable price and nice ambience.
The food is awesome and the restaurant is a nice place to Dine-in
The service and food was excellent. Plus they didn't try to get rid of us when they were closing, they let us finish our drinks and didn't rush us.
Food and vibe was sensational! Staff were happy and friendly. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you
Atmosphere was great but even better the young waitress working Sunday night just happened to make it even better. She provided excellent service, she was very happy and welcoming. Wish I remembered her name.... Thank you for being so nice and providing quality service. The food was amazing and I would highly recommend the butter chicken and lamb madras.
Try the best Indian food in Gold Coast with the food like Kadai Paneer rumali Roti chicken tikka Malai Paneer Tikka mutton rogan josh and many more
We chose Saffron for dinner on our anniversary because of a butter chicken craving. A curry isn’t the fanciest of meals for a celebration but this one certainly marketed itself as being on the fine dining end. At $7.10 per naan and $24 for butter chicken I was frankly astounded that the toilet has to be accessed across the road via a code.
The service was a bit clunky but the food couldn’t really be faulted (other than the lack of garlic in my exorbitantly prices garlic naan). The tandoori fish entree was also excellent, deliciously marinated and super succulent. We also had some traditional live music which added to the atmosphere. Definitely worth checking out
We had the prawn masala from here. Must say, it was Devine, extremely well done. The samosa was also delightful. Only thing that I'll pick at is the rice portion size, a little too small.
We will return.
Quality! It Shouldnt Be That Hard! Love A Wonderful Mouth Full Of Wholesome FOOD!

It was a Friday night I called into see if they where busy they said no. Because if they where packed I was just going to get take away and eat back in my hotel because I was solo!!!
I arrived at the restaurant it was Friday night there was only 4 tables full so pretty quiet. The waiter asked where I would like to sit which was nice.
She gave me the menus then placed the napkin on my lap. I asked her if they did Dahl and palak Paneer . She said yes we do both. I said I’ll have them and one small rice. She asked me how spicy I said medium.
While I was waiting for my food I was looking around and taking the feel of the restaurant. It’s very nicely decorated and it would be amazing for a date or party.
The Curry’s came out. I tried the palak paneer first. It was amazing the cheese inside was soft and fresh the spinach sauce was full of flavour.
I then tried the Dahl and it was just as good it was a mix of beans and lentils. The was nice but I loved the palak planner.
I called the male waiter over because I was full and wanted to get the rest take away. I asked what desserts did they have. He recommended kulfi. It is pistachio ice cream. How ever it was made up of what I think is condense milk so I loved it.
I recommend the restaurant, and I can’t wait to go back to try some other curries.
We visited Broadbeach a few years ago and enjoyed a wonderful meal here. It was very pleasing to find that the excellent standard of food had been maintained. Enjoyable.
Absolutely loved the food. One of the best Indian foods served in gold coast. The quality was up to the mark. Plenty of options for vegetarians. Personal favourites are batata bhaji and beans poriyal.
By far the best Indian food ever !! Their chef is passionate about good food and it clearly reflects in the food he cooks. Delicious food . Highly recommended!
Great food very unique modern decor.....certainly not like stereotypical Indian restaurant... Great service. Yes very pricey eyes but they work hard for it
Decor and atmosphere is fantastic. Service is Fine Live music a nice touch. Quite expensive but the Restaurant atmosphere justifies that. Food is good without being spectacular. Would go again!
On a business trip with colleagues, we explored this restaurant and liked the food here. The starter, main course and the dessert did bring out the true Indian flavour, the special mention has to go to the kulfi. Surprised to notice a local playing instrumental version of "Vaishnav Jan.."
Saffron is without doubt the most elegant and luxurious Indian restaurant on the Gold Coast. Its position in Broadbeach is situated directly opposite Pacific Fair and the Broadbeach South light rail station within easy reach of Jupiter’s Casino, the Convention Centre and major hotels. Sridhar Penumechu opened Saffron in 2005 in a bid to take the ‘best bits’ from traditional Indian food and create something new, modern and exciting. On our first visit for lunch, we head for the separate ‘gourmet’ section of the menu containing such dishes as Chicken Softa (a chicken breast stuffed with pistachio and cottage cheese) and Lazeez Champan, tender grilled lamb cutlets rubbed with ginger and ground peppercorns. This dish is served with saffron rice, salad and garlic naan – absolutely delicious! A winner!
Such a wonderful meal. Delicious, well cooked food with prompt, happy service. Saffron Indian never fails to impress. Best samosas I've ever had.
Good but not great. Nice place, staff were good, nothing wrong with the curries we had, but just seemed to be lacking something to give them that WOW factor. Would go again
Best Indian we've had on the Gold Coast. Both as takeaway & dining in. We've always had great meals from Saffron. Slightly more expensive but worth it. Highly recommend.
Delicious indian in a nice restaurant. The food at saffron is great and unlike a lot of indian restaurants the atmosphere of the restaurant is great. Have been back many times and never disappoints
Beautiful ambience we went on a Tuesday night so nice and quiet and romantic ! Really nice people . I got the spinach lamb curry looks grose as in green and spinachy but BEAUTIFUL then my partner got the salmon tomato curry absolutely amazing ! Good value you pay a bit but worth it
Mood & Vibes. Loved the layout and ambiance of this restaurant. The colours were themed and a pleasant change.
Staff were friendly and attentive.
Total of meal for two people was $127.80 which included a tandoori chicken entree to share THEN butter chicken, rogan josh, rice, naan for the main. There were also some drinks for the price but no dessert. Biggest downfall was the 20% surcharge due to it being a public holiday which took the price to $153.36. I thought this surcharge made the meal too expensive.
The food itself was tasty and very much like what you would receive a 'western' Indian restaurant.
Best Indian Food in the World i believe. The food here is amazing and the atmosphere is also good, BUT YOU WILL PAY A SQUILLION FOR IT, its quite overpriced, and the service is its only let down, simply put, don't expect too much, they are pretty hopeless in that department, But like i said if the food is the experience your after, its amazing, get takeaway :) Besides the takeaway meals are up to 2 times bigger than the ones for in dining.

Best food ever..... The best Indian restaurants on the coast, my parents are very regular in saffron all their parties are organised by Saffron. I am not much into Indian food nor my husband but when i heard that they cater for 5 star resorts like Versace & Sheraton I and my husband decided to Dine in there with my parents . and when we reached there Oh my god to my surprise I have been to many Indian restaurants in Australia occasionally but this was wwooooh what a decor the ambience of the restaurant is to die for . we were greeted and were given the beautiful table with great view. When you open the menu oh well organised with the the section of meals no one get lost in , it seemed bit expensive but after when our meals arrived and the professional service we got it was all paid well. the food was delicious and well presented , the fried fish was extremely beautiful but the most attractive part was the drinks menu variety of wines and huge selection of spirits and liquor my husband noticed they have at least 30 different variety of vodka Oh my god and the bar i swear I have never seen so well organised and clean bar in my life that too when they were busy like something . the restaurant was packed but the staff was so well presented with smily faces and their excellent service .
Entree to desserts and coffee everything was extraordinary .
I have no Idea why people complain its expensive I would say its worth it and also we understood why Versace and other resorts prefer Saffron . thumbs up guys keep the good work up. I will definitely come back next year the best dinning experience .......
Worth it. Best indian we've found on the coast so far... was starting to become dismayed there wasn't one. forget the cost, just enjoy...
I love this place we live in Burleigh and dine here and get takeaway all the time! The best dish is the lamb saagwala, looks bad but tastes amazing. The only people who don't like it are people with kids. Please go to curry in a hurry if you don't like the posh ambiance

Elegant and delicious. After long flight me and my family badly wanted some really good food and we happen to pass this beautiful restaurant and damn it was so busy.....but we were greeted and were seated on a table which was beautifully set and candle light was making the atmosphere more desirable. A beautiful Indian lady came up to us and took our order my family was delighted by her looks and her service, not only us but she was looking after all the tables all alone and was smiling always we initially thought she was the owner but she just was working there and was looking after every bit of it doing drinks ,taking orders running food entertaining guests, well organised ,restaurant was beautiful and clean never seen such anywhere in Australia bar was big with different varieties of alcohol and cocktails whole space was well used menu was well designed we placed an order and suddenly we heard some sizzling sound and we all got excited when the platter was served on our table with naan bread and pappadums and this delicious NZ white wine was giving compliments to it we finished and within ten minutes arrived our main mouth watering food ever had in my life and the best was baramundi fish never had that before, prawns massala butter chicken was amazing we finished our dinner with the final touches:) of macadamia ice cream and mango ice cream with coffee we were overwhelmed by the food service and then my sons were curious to know about India and we asked the lady and she intelligently gave us all our answers and to our surprise her English was awesome . highly recommended restaurant up to the mark ill miss you saffron but will be back.
Wonderful food!!. I have always had a wonderful meal at Saffron and I regularly take clients there with a good outcome every time. For all the negative comments...say it to the business owner so that they can do something about it. As for the price, I know a lot of restraunt owners in Broadbeach and I know what the rent costs to know that it is justified. If you know Indian food you would know that the oil floating on the meal is where the flavour is, no one ever compains about the amount of butter used in a fancy french dish. I think Saffron strives for excellence and if they do drop the ball on occassion they need to know.
Some people may be overwhelmed with all the restaurants to choose from in broadbeach. If you're a curry lover than go no futher than saffron opposite pacific fair. Sure u can get cheaper tasteless curry elsewhere but this place is worth every cent. I dont like hot foods but could happily eat the chicken korma every day
I have been living on the coast for seven years now and been regularly visiting saffron for the majority of that time. It didn't take long to fall in love with the food here.. Try it.. I'm sure you'll agree. I prefer the rogan josh but my partner is a beef madras man. The wine isnt cheap and so we usually take our own. The cocktails on offer are very reasonably priced and very expertly made. The staff are very friendly and always keep your water glass filled. The restaurant is modern and spacious, yet ideal for a quiet table for two or a large group. On saturday we had a table for 22 and such is the layout that we were pretty segregated from interupting those having a more private meal. I used to think I was spoilt for curry when I was a student living near the famous curry mile in Rusholme, Mamchester, but after eating at saffron I would be upset if I had to eat anywhere else.
Chicken masala. Love this dish and the nan breads. Nice bar but I'm not a big drinker.
Best Indian restaurant we've found on the gold coast. Great atmosphere, superb flavors. We love it!
WOW!!!. One word! WOW!! we did wait for about 10mins for our table but it was so worth the wait. Its really good to give a restaurant your money when the service and the food is so good! I am going back again next weekend! Highly recommend!
Just different, I guess.... This was a strange restaurant. I was 30-seconds from walking away before we were seated...
When we arrived we were ushered to a waiting room before we were seated. It was comfortable enough and certainly well decorated, but hello, this was an almost completely empty restaurant!
The waiter came out in the nick of time; I was literally about to walk out.
The food was some of the best Indian I've had, certainly the best on the Coast.
The service ended up being excellent, too. The only downside was the exorbitant pricing. There's no excuse for Indian food to be so expensive.
It was good. Hahaha if you think Tandoori Hut is good you're tripping! I thought it was really good. The normal mains are only $20 and you can tell the ingredients are a lot fresher. You could see the coriander etc. I swear I got tinned mushrooms at Tandoori hut but not here. Maybe they've lifted their game since you whingers went?
Delicious Indian food. Great spices and flavours. Good value for money. Dined with children and felt very relaxed. Friendly staff
Always the best restaurant to dine in. We were there after 5 years and enjoyed the ambience and food a lot. Thanks!
This cozy restaurant has left the very best impressions! Hospitable hosts, scrumptious dishes, lovely presentation and fantastic dessert. I like to recommend to everybody!
It was a busy Saturday night in Broadbeach, we were fortunate to get a table at Saffron. It was a wonderful experience. We ordered samosas for starters, but were told they’d run out. Due to our expressions of disappointment, our server asked the chef to make us a fresh batch. That was so accommodating and was appreciated by our table. Well worth the wait. The curries were also delicious. There were lots of ‘oohs’ and ‘yum’ between the 4 of us. I highly recommend this restaurant, would definitely go back there if I return to GC. (We are from Adelaide, SA). The staff were friendly and very accommodating. Our one complaint, the wine was overpriced, in our opinion. But, we took it on the chin, and enjoyed our evening anyway. Thanks Saffron. 😊
Amazing service food. We wanted to know how they got their coconut rice is so fluffy and light. The barramundi with eggplant curry it’s made with the freshest of herbs and spices and amazing - the staff catered to our dietary with utmost attention to detail. Highly recommend this place - price and meal size fair and good
