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

Food was awesome. We asked them to make it spicy they made it spicy but with full of flavors too. read more

Sree Saffron - Indian Near Me - East Lansing, Michigan

This is the best Indian food I've ever had! I've been eating Indian food around the world for 40 years, and I'm telling you this is the best! The owner was very personal, very kind, and very cautious of my young brother's allergy. Btw, the Vegetable Korma was excellent. All 7 dishes I ordered were excellent! I highly recommend!! read more

Great new entry to the local food scene. Very tasty & creamy Chicken Tikka Masala, and delicious fresh garlic naan, that came warm in the delivery packet. Will definitely order from them again. read more

Best Indian food we've ever had! Everything is so flavorful and cooked to perfection, especially the chicken curry and lamb saag. We will be coming back again and again. 5 stars! read more

Tried the lunch buffet! It was alright and small in options but I liked how they brought out the warm naan. It was a decent price but my favorite desert, gulab jamun was cold. I'll probably give some other indian restaurants in the area a try before coming back read more

Best Indian food I've had in Michigan. I've ordered here many times and they always get everything right. The owner is amazing. If you're eating in the place is little and nothing fancy but still cozy. read more

Excellent lunch buffet! The spice level is medium. Love how the naan is brought in a basket to the table. Best Indian I've had in the East Lansing/Okemos area. I don't love the plastic water cups. Also, the place is small, so as awareness of this value amps up, I'm afraid tables will be scarce. read more

Let's start with the most important part the review, the food. Started off with an appetizer, potato bajji which was delicious and they gave you enough to feed a small group of people. I ordered the chicken korma and my friend ordered the chicken tikka masala both with mild spice. The sauces were great, filled with flavor, and the chicken was very tender. The rice was cooked perfectly and the naan was warm and crispy. The male owner helped us during the ordering process and answered questions we had about the different sauces. The female owner came out at the end to make sure we were satisfied with the food, we were! Our waitress was clearly new but very friendly. We found her quirkiness charming and honestly we would come back just to see her again. Overall this was a good place and I recommend you give it a try! read more

Sree Saffron - Indian Near Me - East Lansing, Michigan

This place when Started new had good food and quality of meat and preparation were good. Last few months as we catered many times and also ate few times , seems like they are serving lot of pre-cooked food may be microwave and serve. Had few folks upset stomach. I am sorry to be blunt in writing but today we catered for 15 people dinner and chicken biryani especially had meat which we were scared to even touch. We took some pictures to show it to restaurant staff. I will not eat here ever again. Stay safe and spend your money wisely read more

Sree Saffron - Indian Near Me - East Lansing, Michigan

I didn't know that they only had buffet during their lunch hours, so that was kinda disappointing, since u can't order from the menu and can only have what is in the buffet. It's a small buffet too. Only liked 2 things that were in the buffet, garlic chicken and butter chicken. The waitress was really nice and brought us a basket of butter naan, which was the best part of the meal. Don't leave the tips on the table, hand it directly to your server, because if you leave it on the table, the owners will end up collecting it. Just something I learned when I was there. Total for 2 people for a lunch buffet was over $27, so that was a very expensive lunch, and not that great. The pictures of the dinner menu is just for dinner, and you can't order from it during lunch. read more

See all

consistent, reliable, good food... service is friendly and, for take out, on time... eating in is basic and clean, well lit but not bright, pleasant attractive decor read more

Sree Saffron is one of the best restaurants in East lansing and perhaps the best Indian restaurant in Michigan. The butter chicken, naan, and samosas continuously amaze me. While the service can be a little slow, it's worth it for their food. It's become a Friday night staple in my friends' and my life. read more

I ate at Sree Saffron for the first time last night. My husband and I enjoyed some of the most delicious Indian food I have ever had (and I have eaten at many Indian restaurants across the country). The sauces were smooth, and creamy, with just the right amount of spiciness. We had the goat korma and the butter chicken. Both were wonderful - I am eating the leftovers for lunch today. I wouldn't want to waste a drop. In addition to the excellent food, I was impressed by the kindness and attentiveness of these lovely people. Thank you so much for making my day yesterday! read more

Delicious food. Some communication breakdowns while ordering. Intimate restaurant with relaxed atmosphere.

Really impressed with this lunch buffet. I'm a vegetarian, and there were loads of choices for me. Pros: Great selection of dishes that significantly contrasted flavor profiles and textures. Some more unusual offerings than the standard buffet fare. Very friendly staff. Good price point. Cons: None really, other than water served in disposable cups (but loved being asked whether we wanted ice or no ice), and many of the dishes leaned towards being a little too rich with ghee for lunch. Overall, good Indian food with spices and flavors that were delicate and nuanced, never over stewed. Great quality ingredients and whole spices that were not over cooked. Loved it!! read more

First positive experience. The food is very good and service when dining in is also very good. Never had issues. However, twice I ordered online directly from the ordering system on their website (not grubhub or Mr Delivery) to be picked up at the restaurant by me. Both times they were surprised when I went for pickup as they didn't have the order. However, later they found the order and then started making it. Both times I was asked why I didn't call them after placing the online order. If I had to call every time, then why is the online ordering system needed. I asked for a refund due to the delay and they claimed that the payment goes to a 3rd party and cannot be refunded. Seems the management doesn't understand the concept of online order process or the next steps associated after ordering or even the concept of customer service if things go wrong. They claim that they usually receive a call after an order is placed but based on how the online payment is diverted to another IT company (may be owned by same people), seems someone might be manually calling the restaurant for every order received online. Still on the fence whether to go or not to go. read more

Delicious Indian food in Lansing! Stopped by here because of the good reviews and it didn't disappoint. Great chicken korma and mango lassi!

No importance for a customer. Worst management, can't even reserve a table properly and this is not the way people should look after their customers. We first stepped-in to restaurant and saw its so busy and couldn't get a seat. We asked the management to reserve the seat for us saying will be back in 15 mins. They did gave a call and we said we will be back to restaurant in 10 Mins, but fortunately we were in by 8 mins. This management couldn't even spare 2 more mins for us and gave that table for other customer and said that we came early so they thought to give to other person meanwhile. Who the hell can finish their dinner in 5-10 mins when they go to restaurant. We totally blame the management for this kind of ridiculous service. MANAGEMENT PLZ DO CHANGE!!! read more

Just tried the lunch buffet for the first time and it was great! They bring the naan to your table fresh which solves the problem other local places have of old, stale naan that's been sitting for too long. I will definitely be back. Update: I've been here numerous times now, for both buffet and normal dinner, and the food is delicious. I have no complaints. read more

Food was delicious. Owners were super friendly. I ordered shahi paneer. It had good flavors but way too much onion. My friend ordered a biriyani. Although she asked for mild/medium, it was very spicy. My main concern was, it took them 1-1.15 hours to make our 2 item order. There were only 2-3 more parties at this time, so it wasn't busy either. I hope they work on food prep timing. With that being said, I am going to give them a another chance :) read more

Buffet and take out once so far. Only thing that was probably my fault. Ordered the garlic nan and it was way too spicy with the green chillies. read more

The best Indian food in the Lansing-East Lansing area! The lunch buffet is also really good. The only con is that they play loud techno and videos of raves on the TVs all the time. If you dine in, make sure you have time to spare. They get busy and it some times takes a while to get your check. read more

This place is very flavorful with many unique dishes not usually found in standard Indian fare. The lunch buffet is the way to go because you can sample everything. Cannot recommend highly enough. Watch out because the food is so good it can be hard to get a seat at the peak lunch time. I tend to go at 11:30 to beat the rush. read more

Wonderful! The chicken Marsala was flavorful! We will be back! The chai was delicious !

Very good butter chicken. They didn't have something I wanted to order so they provided extra rice, which was nice of them.

Wonderful food! Went on a Sunday and it was very fast and VERY Good! I had never had Indian food before this visit! But I cannot wait for a return visit read more

This restaurants ownership has changed and so have the chefs. The Biriyani they serve should not be called biriyani. Goat dum biriyani was ordinary goat curry masked in pulao rice. read more

This is our new favorite Indian restaurant in the East Lansing area! We've been there 3 times in the past month (going again tomorrow!) and everything we've had has been fabulous! The lunch buffet is wonderful and we've ordered dinner off the menu twice. Their take on some of the more common Indian recipes is better than any we've tasted elsewhere. Their menu denotes what has meat or dairy so it's easy to please vegans! Everything is so flavorful and perfectly spiced! Service is excellent with a very friendly and eager-to-please staff. Can't recommend enough!! read more

I didn't like the taste of the food served at their buffet. It took them a while to bring out the goat curry and it wasn't even good in taste. read more

Delicious food and I'm quite picky about my Indian food! Cooked with a nice kick, definitely not for those who don't like spice. Biggest problem is the lack of consistency, you don't always get the same thing even when you order the same thing. But still the food has never been bad. We've had the lamb biryani, chicken Tikka masala, chicken 65, lamb curry, korma, palak paneer, and more. All good! read more

Prior experience with Indian cuisine was terrible, so I avoided it, until last night. So very very tasty and I would recommend Sree Saffron for others who already love Indian cuisine or new converts like myself. read more

One of go to place for Indian vegetarian cuisine. Curries are great; however, breads can be better and well baked.

Food was pretty decent. The service however, was horrible. I ordered a dish and the waitress never put it in. She tried to blame it on me by saying that I never ordered it, even though both of my daughters got their food (while I didn't) AND we were the first ones there. I definitely will not be coming back. read more

Today I was at this place for diner it was amazing. I would definitely come back staff is pretty good. The food is delicious best Indian food in Lansing. read more

We usually go to a different Indian restaurant in town and we decided to try out this new place. Great food and great service! A helpful menu for people with allergies. They tell you if an item is gluten free or dairy free. read more

I am not an expert on Indian food, but I have eaten at Indian restaurants all over the country and this is my favorite!!! My family loves to go for the lunch buffet, which has a wide assortment of flavorful (often spicy, in a great way) dishes. They bring fresh warm garlic naan bread to each table, offer hot chai tea, and always have two dessert dishes. The menu changes often, which helps me expand my own palate, while cycling through tried and true favorites. We love coming here and hope you will too! read more

Been here 5 times already, that's how satisfied I am with service and food. Lunch buffet is a steal, the chutneys are one point and taste really good. Goat briyani and chicken tikka masala are my personal favourites. Love the chicken tandoori, recommend giving it a try at their lunch buffet. The desserts are great during their lunch buffet and not to forget the mango lassi, its just yum! Haven't tried the ghee pongal yet, but definitely going to try it the next time i am there. read more

Indian is my favorite cuisine, so when I came to visit the MSU campus I swung by here. I had the Sunday buffet and was really impressed. The food is flavorful and not at all greasy, and includes some South Indian favorites that I rarely see at lunch buffets (vada and sambar!). So glad I found this place! read more

The best Indian food around and some of the best I've ever had. The mixed vegetable pakoda, butter chicken, and boneless chicken biryani are incredible. Service is always pleasant, and the owner is very nice. The food is great. Literally one time I ate here three days in a row and I would do it again any time. read more
