India is the birth place of Chicken Tikka Masala and Curries. Indian foods are prepared with a blend of finely mixed spices quite popular across the region. The spices develop the rich taste in Indian food enough to boggle your mind.

The Indians also brought their very own vibrant, colorful, and aromatic authentic dishes for the people in the West. While most of the Indian population is Vegetarian, Indian food is great for people who are looking for vegan or vegetarian food option. If you are a Meat lover, don't get disappointed yet.

Saffron just opened this week, so we tried it for lunch today. For lunch they have a buffet for $8.95 per person. It reminded us of the buffet at the other Indian restaurant in town. In fact, it was almost exactly the same. I wasn't really impressed, just basic Indian fare, which on buffets tends to be a bit mushy. I would prefer to order from the menu next time and try more exotic flavors.

Writing this review of Saffron's is going to be very challenging. How does one rate a restaurant this inconsistent? I mean, on one hand, this place is a total mess - its management is aloof and incompetent, their wait staff is poorly trained, and the building (uhm, trailer) itself is in a state of disrepair. There is no passion or inspiration behind their front-of-house operations, including their lunch buffet. On the other hand, some of the tastiest bites of food I have ever had came from here. Their Chicken Tikka Masala is addictive. Yes, addictive. Nothing else can satisfy the craving. That is why I keep coming back and will continue to come back. If I had one meal left on Earth it would be Saffron's Chicken Tikka Masala with naan bread. It is so good I have no reason to look over the rest of the menu. So, I'm sure you can see my dilemma. If you are wise, you'll skirt the bad stuff entirely by ordering take-out. You'll get delicious food without having to put up with the terrible service.

This place was only halal food around panama beach FL. Food was excellent and fresh and Naan was superb and chicken Tawa was awesome.

Avoid the buffet at all costs!! At 1pm over half the items were empty or old and were never refilled. witnessed one table just get up and leave after seeing it. NOT worth the $9.

Not that great. I'm pretty sure I'm not going back here again.

Let me start out by saying I really enjoy Indian cuisine. I eat Indian regularly from 3 places that are local to me in Louisiana. The building is a trailer, but I can deal with that. We waited 10 minutes to be seated when there were no other guests around noon on a weekday. We had to search the place to find an employee. Their Basmati rice is mixed with what looked like white rice-a-roni and smelled bad as soon as we opened the rice cooker. I've never smelled "bad" rice, but I guess there's a first time for everything. The best way I can describe the Chicken Tikka Masala is Chef Boyardi canned tomato sauce mixed with Greek yogurt. It was so bad I could barely eat it -- it tasted very sour and almost like it wasn't safe to eat. The vegetables were tolerable. The waitress stood over me while I left her tip -- rude! I waited tables in college and would never do this! I could overlook the facilities and poor service if their food was delicious. It wasn't just "not good," it was quite literally disgusting. I use YELP a lot and this is the first time I've been compelled to leave a negative review. I am sad that I spent $26.00 on such an awful experience.

Ignore the bad reviews, do not go to the buffet the regular menu is cooked to order. The garlic and seasame naan are great, my favorite is chicken tiki Marsala hot love the sauce. To cool that down a mango lassee is just awesome. This is the best Indian place in town since the curry pot. Tandoria, Samosuas, even chick pea curry was good. I haven't had bad food here been there 5 times. Also, met there head chief a great guy as well. This place is very under rated if you want some great spicy curry and bread check it out ignore the hatters. They also have a shop that has better products and pricing then indopak on 15th st.

Well we visited Saffron for dinner as there was no other Indian restaurant was available. Overall, they are just okay. I cut one rating for each-ambience, taste and service. Ambience wasn't good at all. Server was okay but we got our food after 46 minutes of wait even there wasn't rush at that time. Only 4 tables including ours. We ordered chicken vindaalo, navratan quorma & garlic naan. Chicken dish was so sour, it tasted like sweet n sour chicken. Completely tomato puree. Navratan quorma taste was good but all it had big chunks of potato, five PCs of carrot n two peas. However this dish should have 9 types of vegetables in it. Naan was good. Overall disappointment.

I thought the buffet got a bad rap. The food was hot and tasty and the wait staff was friendly and accommodating.

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, ...this message goes out to fellow Brits and Indian/Pakistani friends, stay away. No matter how much you think you need a curry wait until you get home. Seemed like some kind of packet sauces you buy down the Asian market with no real additional custom cooking thrown in. My lamb tikka was undercooked and sprinkled in some sort of vinegary yellow stuff, tarka dall tasted like Campbell's Mushroom Soup (though yellow). These dishes are the measuring sticks. My hubby had the buffet....and if you are in the mood for orange food then go for it. Classic case of "Oh I'm Pakistani I must be able to cook and hey like anyone in Panama City Beach knows where or what that is" The Lassi was sweet frothy and delicious and filled me up nicely before a date with Harry Potter. PS. The server was wearing a shalwar kameez with a death metal jacket over the top....

Most horrible place! Everything is just a tomato purée and Briyani have huge chunks of vegetables..... To add to it the waitress Cristina has no manners , I would never recommend it to anyone

To be fair I gave it an extra star because no Indian restaurants will be able to match the ones on Devon Ave. in Chicago. I gave it another star because the owner and the hostess (not our actual waitress, who told us how much she hated working there) were super nice. So if you take away the extra stars, you have 1 star left for the food itself. Awful if you know what Indian food is really supposed to taste like. I had several chicken dishes and the only one that came close to correct was the butter chicken (labeled as something else on the menu, but the description will be a giveaway). The other chicken dish, maybe chicken makhani, but I don't remember, tasted unnaturally and almost grossly sweet.

After reading all the negative reviews of Saffron, I decided to adventure and go since it was the only Indian restaurant I could find in PCB. The place is dated, and the decor is terrible. However, the place is impeccable. I always check the cleanliness of the bathrooms, try to peak in the kitchen, and inspect the restaurant's floor. If the above are clean I feel safer about not getting food poisoning. We went there on a Tuesday night. There were only 3 other parties. Our waitress was nice and she brought us our drinks and took our orders promptly. We order 2 orders of samosas. Best samosas ever!!!! Very fresh with perfectly combination of spices and filling ingredients. The tamarind sauce was superb. We also got the chicken tikka masala and it was excellent. It was creamy, spicy and tasty. The jasmine rice was also fresh. I live in Atlanta where we have lots of great Indian places and I would say it's as good as any of the restaurants there. If you want to go to a place for the ambience and decor.... Don't go here. However, if you want authentic, delicious well prepared and pricedIndian food, don't hesitate to go to Saffron.

After finding out that there was a restaurant in Panama City that served Indian food, I was more than excited to visit Saffron. Unfortunately, it was quite the let down. There wasn't any heat (I went in January), so my friends and I had to bundle up just to stay warm while we waited for our waitress to take our orders. Despite the place being pretty much empty, it took us about an hour to get our food which, once it arrived, definitely wasn't the wait. I wasn't too impressed with the menu.

I'm giving 5 stars for the food...but with a stipulation. Go at night. Don't get the buffet. Get the Chicken Makhani or tikka Massala. I've had some bland dishes here, but these two are the cream of the crop in my opinion. Some of the lamb dishes are delicious too. As stated by others, the management is a bit aloof, but friendly enough. And yes, the poor wait staff is usually under trained or experienced. But man...those dishes and some naan of your choice and saffron rice....so yummy!
