Way to set the bar. My spice level was a 5 and I thought to myself I should've told her 7 but their 7 is my 5 and I like to believe I like spicy food so please keep that in mind. I loved the atmosphere, not too cold not too warm and very welcoming. Customer service deserves its own 5 stars! I will definitely be back to try more things and I can tell this will be one of my staples for when I do eat out. Pictured below, lamb curry with my side choice of rice, chilli momo and garlic & cheese naan. The curry sold the show for me. Momos are its own entree, don't be like me trying to eat everything at once ‍

The samosas are excellent, crispy and served piping hot alongside both tamarind chutney and cilantro chutney for a sweet, savory, and spicy contrast. My biggest disappointment, however, is that the veggie momo cannot be made vegan. They're stuffed with cheese, which isn't mentioned on the menu. I'm grateful that they're informed and honest about it, but that was my main motivation for visiting. At least, the veggie thupka was tasty, like a meatless version of chicken noodle soup. Comforting, unchallenging, and probably good for kids, too. For the more adventurous, the aloo gobi is not messing around; even the medium spice has a nice bite to it. There only appeared to be one waitress working so service was very slow. Order ahead, or plan to make it a night.

Meet a few friends and we tried various dishes. The restaurant was clean and quaint inside with several tables and booths. There was one person working the dining area and they got busy by the time we left. As a table shareable items were the creamy Brussels sprout and the Kothey momo (dumplings), main dish I got the Tandoori Salmon and it was delicious. When they were walking out with the sizzling skillet I was thinking who ordered this?! And it was me. lol the Brussels sprouts had a great flavor and I enjoyed this as well as the momos. Overall I enjoyed the food and would recommend if you're in the area. The menu is quite extensive so be prepared to make some tuff choices. The restrooms were a bit odd as they seemed to be not fully built out, almost an after thought? Perhaps.

I started with the Nepali Chiya (chai) it was sweeter, nicely spiced and made in house! I highly recommend it for any chai lovers.

We also went with the momo (Nepali Dumplings. We went with the Kothey momos which you can choose from veg or chicken ($9) and they come with 5 served with a dipping sauce. These were another hit! The sauce was served room temp and not spicy at all. Very well balanced. For my main I went with the lamb biriyani! And great selection! The rice could have been a bit more seasoned but overall 9/10. My friend got the salmon and it looked amazing! This place is really cute and spacious! Plenty of seating, quick and friendly service and lots of parking since it's in a shopping center!

According to a close friend, Safran Austin located on Far West Boulevard, is especially known for being the first in Austin to feature a dedicated Nepalese menu I was not very hungry so I ordered the Chicken 65 (spicy deep-fried chicken with tomatoes, curry leaves, and ginger) ...a South Indian specialty.

My first time having Momos in Austin and I chose to go to Everest food truck in Cesar Chavez though…read moreI was recommended to the truck in North Austin. The food truck was small and did have ample seating with other food trucks. There were no clear indication on the prices and spice level nor were we informed or asked about the spice level My order: Veg Momo Chilli Momo The Chilli Momo (as the name suggested) was extremely spicy , at the dangerous level, so they should have let us know. I did love the dish other than the spice levels! the side sauces were spicy too. Having a veg momo on the other hand was making me feel better. I might have to go prepared the next time and ask more probing questions. It is not nice to not display the price along with the menu. You will be only loosing customers with this kind of experience!

Also wish there was a bit more. - garlic naan - unfortunately it was quite soggy, tasty though! They're still fairly new so are probably working things out. The portions are a bit smaller than other places, but they do charge less too, so that may be why. Overall the flavors are good and I'd recommend giving them a try if you're nearby. Haven't tried the dumplings yet and those are looking good!
