Saffron- Upscale Indian Cuisine at AK Village

[Omaha Cowboy]

From the Grow Omaha Market Report last Thursday, 5/27/21:

“Saffron, a high-end, locally owned Indian Restaurant is planning to open in September in Aksarben Village. It will occupy the 4,500 sq. ft. corner space recently vacated by Lotus House of Yoga. That's next door to Herbe Sainte and across the street from Lululemon. Saffron will provide a full menu of gourmet Indian cuisine and a premium cocktail bar.”..

Looks to be a nice new addition and concept...

Ciao..LiO...Peace

Review: At Saffron, well-executed Indian classics are great, and there's more to come

Saffron Urban Indian Kitchen is trying to figure out a way to stand out in Omaha.

Our city already has a lot of good neighborhood Indian spots (Kinaara is one I like) and a couple of higher-end choices (Jaipur is one I like, too.)

When you first arrive at Saffron, and take in the upscale, jewel-toned decor, the craft cocktail list and the extensive wine list, you might sense what they’re going for. You’ll notice a few trendy twists on the menu, including a plate of masala-spiced crab cakes and naan filled with a creamy spinach artichoke dip. All that struck me as both fun and modern.

But Saffron also serves its own thoughtful, well-executed versions of the classics you think you already know. For this diner, that’s when things got really interesting.

We love Indian food, and it is on our short list of places in Omaha to try.

It's good. Not Jaipur good, imo, but its definitely good.
