Why Travelers Love Zafran Indian

Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.

4.7 / 5.0(3,775 reviews)

A fantastic spot for authentic Indian food within a mall. We especially enjoyed the exceptionally tasteful biryani, chaat, and tandoori tikka. The combination of good ambiance and excellent service made for a great experience. To dine at this restaurant, I drive almost for 55 minutes but upon dining, it was quite disappointing that taste of food was not as I expected but anyhow atmosphere and services are quite impressive. Biryani and gravy dishes were below average but soup and salads are good options to have. We had dinner at Zafran with family, and it was a very good experience. The food was delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. The staff Mr. Suddush was polite and attentive, making sure we were comfortable throughout. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, perfect for a family dinner. Overall, we really enjoyed our time here and would definitely recommend Zafran to others.
