Why Travelers Love Zafran Indian

4.4 / 5.0(8,295 reviews)

Zafran Indian Bistro has a beautiful ambience with a warm and inviting setting. The service is attentive, and the food is flavourful. However, the restaurant is a bit overpriced. One area that needs improvement is the washrooms — they should be kept more hygienic and well-maintained. Overall, it’s a good spot for dining if you value good ambience and service, but there’s room for improvement in pricing and cleanliness. Food was good , atmosphere average , service was okay would I repeat this experience again maybe but not soon I gave this place 6/10. Perfect location for Indian food. We came here for the very first time for an Eid gathering with our friends. Very spacious & good ambience for big gathering or with family The food was served hot & the staffs were so good. loved the prawns dynamite, lamb biryani & the salads👌

I was really disappointed with my visit. Everything except the Spinach Chaat tasted bland, completely lacking the rich, authentic flavors you would expect from an Indian restaurant of this caliber. When I asked the waiter, he mentioned that 90% of their customers are non-desi, so they don’t use spices. But the issue wasn’t just the spice level, it was the complete absence of flavor. The waiter also told me that if I had requested more spice, he would have asked the chef to adjust it. But as a first time visitor, how am I supposed to know the baseline level of spice they serve? It should be the waiter’s responsibility to ask every customer about their spice preference when taking the order. Additionally, one female waitress was wearing high heels, and the constant clicking sound was very distracting in the quiet environment. For a restaurant aiming for a fine dining atmosphere, that kind of continuous noise was quite out of place. On top of that, the menu is overpriced for what you get.
