SAFFRON REVIEWS

Loved their food .. quality, quality and pieces are fair. I will go back again anytime I will go to Waco. The Chicken boti was very very yum! To my taste bud goat biryani was average but the goat meat was tender and juicy. Their naan and butter chicken was too good too. They get quite busy as well and food can come a little late since they will be freshly made.

1st time here! pulling up had my doubts! looked like revamped burger joint! not pretentious at all! the food was awesome! the reason we came! lunch was your choice of 3 items and I dont think you could choose wrong! I had chicken karahi, perfect heat! goat bihari and 2 delicious samosas! all excellent! oh! and a basket full of Naan! half of it I took home! Happy we discovered this place!!!

Service was great! They greeted us as soon as we came in and immediately got our drinks. Food came out very fast and was amazing. One of the best restaurants in Waco! The lunch plate is a great choice if you want to try a few things!

TIKKA HOUSE INDIAN EATERY REVIEWS

Best Indian I’ve had in Texas. Very delicious Indian. Things are very clean and not oily. Lamb was clean(trimmed the fat) and tender. We had lamb vindaloo, lamb biryani, samosas and naan. Everything was executed nearly perfectly. Buffet looked great and a very fair price. Portion size was very generous and had left overs. Oh yes, they gave me free chai, that was the excellent.

The food is INCREDIBLE!! Each sauce has a unique flavor that explodes in your mouth. The buffet has amazing options! You’ll never want to each plain vegetables again and the meat was SO tender!! The service was also wonderful! Everyone was so kind. 10/10 would recommend! I cleaned out both plates easily!!

Will come back for sure. The lamb biryani was excellent and the Lamb Tikka masala was quite good with a sweet kick to it. Chicken lollipop very good and garlic Naan was solid. Highly recommend, there even chinese-indian fusion we haven't tried yet!

TAZ INDIAN CUISINE WACO REVIEWS

Wow! You will be SO happy when you find this Indian Gem! We have eaten at other Taz locations. Those are always good. But this location has something a little extra. The food is SO flavorful. The chutneys and currys are so smooth and creamy! Desserts? Yes, just YES. 12 out of 10 rating from me. I'm gluten free and can eat most of this menu. It's a nee location, so hurry up before everyone finds this new treasure!

If you’re looking for authentic Indian cuisine with that true South Indian flavor, look no further than Taz. This new spot just opened in Waco, and my wife and I tried their goat dum biryani, butter chicken with rice, and samosas. Let me tell you, the food was absolutely delicious. I’d give it 5 stars for the food, 5 stars for the service, and 4 stars for the atmosphere. We really enjoyed our meal and will definitely be going back.

We had a fantastic family time here. All the staffs were friendly. We ordered mixed kabab platter, nan, rice and tea. They gave mango lassi to my baby as a complimentary. Hope to visit this beautiful restaurant soon.
