About this restaurant

  • Good for groups
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Healthy
A Taste of the Himalayas, Nestled in the Yampa Valley.
Tucked away in the heart of Steamboat Springs at 425 Lincoln Avenue, Saffron is more than just a restaurant-it's a culinary journey. After a day on the mountain slopes or the river, escape to the warm, aromatic embrace of Northern India. We craft authentic, flavor-rich curries, tandoori grills, and biryanis using traditional recipes and the world's most precious spice, saffron.
While our surroundings are pure Colorado, our soul is deeply Indian. We believe that the warmth of our legendary Steamboat community is perfectly complemented by the vibrant, soul-satisfying warmth of our food. At Saffron, you'll find the best of both worlds: unforgettable, authentic Indian cuisine served with the genuine, friendly hospitality the 'Boat is known for.
Your Himalayan basecamp awaits.

    Don't miss Saffron if you are in Steamboat. We have had multiple dishes there and they are all fantastic.

    This is a really unassuming place, but the food is outstanding! Staff is very attentive. Four of us ordered four main dishes to share, plus the naan bread. It all came with a huge bowl of rice. We ate everything! Prices were very reasonable. Excellent Indian cuisine.

    Unfortunately, after feeding our toddler the chicken dumplings, we opened up the final one to find that it was still completely raw in the center. Due to poor lighting, we are unsure if the others were properly cooked or not. Our dishes seemed to be cooked well and were quite good. We are praying our child doesn’t become ill because of their negligence.

    The food at Saffron was delicious, as always. The 25% off mud season special made it an even better experience. We have never been disappointed with anything we order at Saffron. Please keep them in mind when you are eating out or ordering takout.

    Great Indian food. From the naan to the lamb kebabs to butter chicken and tikka masala, all were amazing and delicious. Not really a romantic date night atmosphere or attentive service but the food is great
