We ordered take out,and we did not enjoy any of the items we ordered. Mango Lassi: Tasted strange. I drank only a few sips. Normally this is a favorite of mine.My husband drank his but did not think it was as good as those he has had at other Indian restaurants. Butter Chicken: The flavor was "off." I ate a bit of it, but discarded most of it. The garlic naan was dry and much thinner than naan I have enjoyed elsewhere. My husband ordered a different chicken dish. (I cannot remember the name of it, nor can he.). He ate most of it but said he would not order it again. The tamarind chutney was ok. It too expensive. A tiny (2 oz) container that wasn't even full. The raita was ok. The container was larger and the price was more reasonable as compared to pricing on the chutney. Oh, well. I hope others like the food at this place better than we did. We have found other Indian restaurants in this area that we like much better. read more

Chaat Samosa, where have you been all my life? All the goodness of a mashed vegetable samosa with chickpeas and chutneys. Ordered mild but comes with a little kick, as does the Veg Samosa. Dal Soup (lentils) was perfectly comforting and delicious. Very filling. I should have stopped there! Saffron Bread Basket comes with regular naan, garlic naan, and one with shredded coconut (and other goodies) on the inside to make it sweet. Perfect to share as a table. Butter Chicken - The kids loved this. Ordered mild. Goat Vindaloo - Goat and potatoes. Big chunks of goat which were not as tender but not super fatty like other places. I was so full I could only eat a little. read more

Very good Indian food! Loved the food especially the samosas! Would highly recommend checking this place out

The food is individually cooked for each customer, and it's delicious! The staff is courteous and friendly. They took care of us, several times asking to make sure everything was to our satisfaction. read more

Sooo good ! --freshly made and absolutely delicious! The chicken masala and lamb masala were rich and flavorful, the garlic naan was warm and crispy, and the service was excellent. Highly recommended read more

Me and my family visited from Chicago and would give minus score of anything available horrible customer service with no spoons or napkins available, Nothig that we wanted to eat was available Horrible veg corn chip which looked like someone cooked Knorr soup from packet with full of salt Masala dosa was cold and not crispy at all I addressed the concern and this front desk guy literally just ask us for full amount of bill without even acknowledging that we were not happy Please avoid this place if you are looking for a happy ambiance or customer service and in our case decent food!!!!!! read more

The food was really good and the staff went above and beyond. We showed up with 20 people and they sat us and ever thing was smooth.

Ordered from DoorDash as the roads were a bit icy and snow falling and didn't feel my moving the rental car. Did the Mysore masala dosa, carrot halwa, Gobi Manchurian and mango lassi. Other than the Mysore masala dosa being as hot as a Carolina reaper (well in my eyes and palate probably a 2 out of 10 heat index rating) LOL my mouth was on fire and I was sweating but once the lassi calmed it down and the halwa I was able to breath again. :-) Great tasting food that was freshly prepared and next time I will order some milder items. read more

Wow this place is absolutely delicious. If you're looking to scratch that Indian food itch, Saffron Sree is where you should go in East Lansing. My friends and I eat here about once a month and have enjoyed every bit of food we've ate. The staff is friendly and the food comes out quick every time. When it comes to the ambience, the restaurant is quiet, nice and clean with classy decor hanging from the walls. And of course what is an Indian spot without some Bollywood playing on the tv in the corner. This is a great spot to go if you're new to Indian food or if you regularly partake. read more

Our first time eating Indian food. It was awesome! We loved all of the new flavors and dishes. The service was good and the food was just mind-blowing. We will definitely be returning! read more

The food is not bad but my wife and I both asked for mild, not spicy dishes. When they arrived they're both extremely spicy and we could barely eat them. The waiter told us that no spices had been added to them to make it spicy. If this is there mild version I can't imagine they're spicy version. We could barely take a bite of either one. The food might have been tasty but we could not tell because it was on fire. we will never eat there again. read more

Less than average in terms of food quality. The chicken dish I ordered : chicken tikka pieces done with grilled onions - called Kabab. Not really sure what dish he brought. Also got some chicken corn soup but it neither had any yellow corn nor chicken just baby corn cutting pieces. if you'd like baby corn, this is your soup. They should baby corn soup!! Server was nice, just seems bored with his job I'm not one to make a fuss, just eat it and pay, and leave then write honest reviews. 2/5!! read more

Sree Saffron - Not sure what the server brought out....i did order chicken corn soup. I neither had corn nor chicken. Lol - Indian Near Me - East Lansing, Michigan

Saffron is one of the best Indian restaurants in the area. The food feels authentic and fresh. Love this place I go there all the time.

Absolutely the best Indian food in the Lansing area! I'll admit I'm not the most versed in Indian food but I've had my share of tikka masalas and paneers. This place just has something special in it that makes those dishes feel like a whole new experience. read more

Ordered two meals from here tonight. Both of them with no spice in them. One entree was completely normal and tasted fine. The other on the other hand was so spicy that I could only take 3-4 bites before having to throw it out. I have ordered Indian food many times, and this was by far the worst I've ever had read more

I've been a long/time patron of a venue practically across the street. That place started developing strange hours and was otherwise falling out of fashion. Today I made a decision to give Sree Saffron (takeout) a try after seeing a City Pulse writeup and, wow. This food was amazing. I genuinely feel like I've missed out by waiting so long to give them a try. Everything was hot and delicious. Customer service was excellent. Spice level was white-person appropriate but based on how I was treated at Sree, I'm 100% positive if I asked for "Indian spicy" they would gladly oblige. Seasoning was fantastic throughout my order and pricing was comparable to other places in town. This is now my go-to Indian Food place. read more

Not the best Indian food I've ever had but it satisfies my Indian food cravings any day! Pros: - fast service - good quality - relatively affordable - lots of menu options Cons: do NOT get the masala soda-- the concept sounds good but I did not enjoy it read more

Real good experience with a large group of 12 people...service was excellent..food did not disappoint..we will be flash mobbing this place again.. Friday nights we support local restaurants in the area!! Doing our best to help local businesses read more

This place consistently has some of the best Indian food I've ever had in the Lansing area. Can't speak to the ambiance, as I normally get the food delivered, but 10000% the food is flawless. read more

Small place with great food and service. I had the Chaat Samosas and Paneer Butter Masala, both medium. The spice level was just right and the flavor was lovely. Lots of vegetarian option, I will definitely be back to try more dishes. read more

Amazing, incredible, out of this world. My partner is from southern India and she confirmed (after rigorous testing) that it is the only authentic Indian food in the greater Lansing area. We loved the chole, chettinad curry, and pakora. The waitstaff was extremely nice as well. We will be eating there again! read more

Excellent Indian fare as well as great service and reasonable prices. Nice decor inside and pleasant staff. Overall a great experience

Sree Saffron has the best Indian food in the area!! I recommend Mali Kofta and Gobi 65!

1. Made wrong food, when you order to go. I ordered lamb curry, they made me chicken curry because that was a to go order. 2. Very long waiting time. 20 minutes at least. Very oily curry, and tastes bad compared to other places. I won't come again and I don't recommend. read more

I've been to a lot of Indian restaurants in my lifetime and this place is definitely in my top 3 for flavor and taste. We had the tikka masala chicken, butter chicken, palak paneer and garlic naan. All of it was excellent. I would definitely recommend this restaurant. read more

I ordered Sree Saffron for delivery and ended up getting an onion uttapam, and the butter chicken. The butter chicken was 5 stars deliciousness and goodness, and the kind of hearty meal that makes you feel full and gives you energy to tackle life. The onion uttapam was fine, definitely more of a 3 stars. It was fine and decent, but nothing that I would want again. I definitely think there's yummier uttapam out there, but I think they definitely have a strong entree selection. I would totally go here again and try other things, since I had such a hard time figuring out what I wanted to order because everything sounded so delicious. read more

Great Indian spot in East Lansing! The hospitality at Sree Saffron is fantastic. The owner and waitstaff are kind and attentive and the dishes during the buffet are closely monitored. That being said, the buffet is great, but be sure to check their Facebook page before going to see the day's menu. It is also a very small location, so be mindful during the buffet of a wait. I have tried numerous entrees from Sree Saffron, most notably the spinach chicken curry, chicken vepudu, and goat kadai, all of which I have thoroughly enjoyed. Their biryani is good, but when at the buffet, I find that I get a lot of piece of meat that are mostly bone. The gulab jamun is my favorite in the area, not too sweet and a perfect way to finish your meal. All in all, I would suggest Sree Saffron above all for Indian food in EL. read more

This is 100% the best takeout in the Greater Lansing area, and it's not close. The South Indian fare in particular is great. . read more

Absolutely love this place! I always eat until I'm completely stuffed and happy and have no regrets.

I really enjoy eating/ordering at Saffron! Pre-covid I used to go to the buffet regularly which was delcious! During covid, I ordered quite a bit by calling them and through Uber eats and I have to say the quality of food is still excellent! read more

Good food and good service. I went in and sat down but takeout seems good as well. Would recommend!

Amazing food! Delicious seasonings! Best food ever! Everything they have on the menu is just amazing! Great service, but I am typically there for about an hour, so I would recommend having time on your hands unless you order takeout or delivery. Once again, absolutely delicious! read more

Delicious Indian dishes :) I have been to many places in Lansing and this is by far one of the most creamiest, flavorful, and uniquely concoction dishes! They were closed temporarily for a while and just recently opened again. I am so happy to be able to enjoy their mouthwatering and affordable dishes :) I would also add that the staff are all wearing PPE and take out option only. read more

Great food! Chili chicken is the best I've had, and their palak paneer is one of the most delicious as well. Service is wonderful and the manager is extremely helpful. This place was so good that my wife and I kept trying new things from the menu. In over 6 months of regular visits here, we never found an item that we were disappointed with. No food was ever bland... Just the opposite! read more

Update. This last experience was bad. The samosas were good. The naan was fine. The goat biryani was passable, but lacking the complexity of flavor I'd expect from a biryani. The butter chicken was ketchupy and so sugary sweet it should have been a dessert offering. Same with the palak paneer--bland and sugary. Next time I'll save my $ and go to Baskin-Robbins. read more

Food is terrific. Great flavor and spice options. And the delivery has always been ahead of the promised time. Love this place.

This is the only good Indian food restaurant in Lansing and it's the only one I go to. I know Lansing is somewhat lacking to begin with, but still, this place is just as good if not better than the Indian food I've had in larger cities. They give MASSIVE quantities of rice, good portions of curry and whatnot, ingredients taste fresh and everything is so flavorful. Highly recommend the Aloo Gobi. read more
