Authentic south Indian food. Very good with taste. Their kheema dosa is a big hit, very yummy. Thali was delicious, but pls add puri or chappati to south indian thali. Very good mysore dosa , vada and idli. Good lassi. Great ambience, very spacious. Must try. Be back soon😊
Went here for a quick lunch as we are in the area for work. Food was amazing and the price for the special was just as great.
Wasnt busy due to covid times so we got the space almost to ourselves.
Saw a couple just finished as we walked in who told us they were happy with their meal as well.
Will come back to try dinner sometime.
Amazing lamb bone soup, chicken lollipop,chicken kothu porotta and dosa. Just felt like having it from back home in chennai. Worth the price and costed us only $35 for all of this. amazing hospitality😍 would definitely visit again!!
Friendly staff. Decor was bright. Layout comfortable. The vegetarian buffet was delicious. Look forward to visiting again to try their meat options. Highly recommended. Could not use zomato gold discounts but reasonably priced anyways so no losses there.
Tasty food and decent portion sizes.
Our go to place whenever we are super hungry. Food is completely satisfying and weekend brunch are best 😋
Been here 5 times now, loved it every time, really delicious authentic South Indian food. The best we’ve tried in South Auckland! Would recommend the chicken chettinad :)
Great South Indian food. The dosas and the curries were on point. They were nice and spicey.
The service was great and our waiter was super friendly. Kept checking up on us and to see if we were enjoying our meals. Good place. Will definitely be coming back more often. Used to go to the Ponsonby one but since that's closed, this place will be my next go to

If your from the south and missed eating idli, dosa, vada, pori, Saffron Brunch Buffet is the place to be. And don’t miss out on the South Indian coffee 😀
Best Indian food I’ve ever had. Went there on my first day in Auckland and came back next day. Chicken 65 and chettinaf is delicious!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
Authentic south Indian restaurant in town, Try their unlimited weekend buffet, best value for money and great taste, hot dosas served to you and also includes a masala tea. A must try place in manukau.
Simply the best dosas in town, also tried the
paneer malai kofta with Paraada n loved it. The service was great as always. Keep up the great work.
Went here for lunch with my partner today, we got the chicken korma and lamb madras, tasted amazing. Authentic cuisine and the perfect amount of spice and flavour, definitely recommend.
Dinner at the awesome Saffron restaurant@Manukau, now open at Cavendish drive opposite The Warehouse. If you loved Saffron Ponsonby, but hated travelling all the way into town, look no further than our hood! Lip smacking South Indian cuisine- both veg and non-vegetarian. They also have a buffet lunch on Friday, Saturday and Sundays from 11am. Great friendly and prompt service too. And to top it all, they also do home delivery for orders over a certain amount. Go on, take my word for it and try it this Easter weekend. I certainly will be going back for more with my family!
Sunday Vegetarian brunch buffet -
Unlimited food and one tea or authentic filter coffee for $15.99. Dosa and vada is really nice. Sambar was too delicious. Good customer service.
Such a cozy place to eat South Indian buffet. Staff is so polite and talk so softly. Food is yummy every time we visited and we have visited there quite a few times 😁
The best Dosa so far I found in Auckland. Comfortable and clean environment. Great flavor on each dish. Good price for the buffet, definitely go again and recommend to everyone.
Great place for weekday lunch and weekend buffet.
Good tasty quality food. Service is really good. Affordable price. One of the best in the area for good Indian food. Well maintained place. The washroom should be cleaned better. Perfect otherwise.

Saffron is a hidden gem in Manukau. Unassuming at the outside, but inside, you'll be delighted at their food and friendly service. Their poppadums are the best I've tasted - just the right crispiness and fresh. Their cheese Naan is fresh too, and love how the cheese stretches when you eat it. Their butter chicken is up there too with the best, as well as their mango Lassi. The rice which came with the curry was nice, light, and fluffy.
Although they got one drink order wrong and the second drink came a bit too late (we were nearly finished eating) and the lamb kebab was spicier than expected, their customer service is better than some places in Auckland CBD. The complimentary dessert at the end of the meal was a pleasant surprise. Note that we weren't asked if we want our curry mild (which is usually our experience when ordering Indian food).
Saffron is highly recommended and well worth spending your hard-earned money in. Will come back again to try their dosa and other curries.
Saturday and Sunday breakfast buffet -Vegetarian! Unlimited food and one tea/coffee for $12.99!!! It’s a real treat for this price. Dosa and vada is really nice. Sambar is so so🤵♂️but you can have 3 chutneys and potato 🥔 masala to compensate!
Value for your money!
Each and every dish was delicious & excellent taste .It is best place where u can find original authentic southindian style food . Especially weekend buffet was realy nice & friendly service enjoyed with my family . And also reasonable price for buffet. Strongly recommended....
We whole family had lunch buffet. It was delicious, food was hot, fresh. Awesome experience. 100% recommended. Loved the cup of Tea.
Great place to taste South Indian food in city. Their weekend buffets are an absolute steal. Can be really crowded at times.
Good service, food was good.
Definitely going again
Only thing is they need to put out a notice or poster as how things work for the buffet as we were clueless standing in the line but figured it out eventually
Really Nice Food, Specifically weekend breakfast !!….. you will feel like real south Indian taste…
Today(26/08/2023) Myself and my wife went for Onam Sadya at Saffron Manukau. We enjoyed excellent Sadya in original banana leaf. Every item was excellent.
Had buffet food. Variety vegetarian food, very was tasty. Environment was warm and cozy. Tables were very close and shared between families.
