    Golden saffron restaurant is an Indian based restaurant. It is nearby to Kuta town and Kuta beach. It serves both veg as well as non veg cusine. It has open bar with all varieties of alcohol mocktails and cocktails. It also serves buffet with indian food serving both veg as well as non veg food. This restaurant is quite expensive. Quality and quantity both are okay-ish as it does not meet your expectations of eating Indian food. But I would still recommend go for dal tadka and jeera rice. For vegetarians, if you are a paneer lover you might be disappointed as they serve every dish in thick Tomato curry. Their spicy is just a No No. Even though you ask for spicy it's still mild. For non vegetarians, you won't be disappointed at all as they serve some delicious food with great varieties and taste is awesome. The quantity is not that great but it taste amazing. Bali Indonesia overall does not serve vegetarian food as their cuisine is entirely Pure non vegetarian. Indian restaurants are the only one with something like vegetarian. Pork and beef and sticky rice are their staple food. Water is not free they charge you for anything you order. Don't forget it's a tourist attracted country. Golden saffron is basically a nice place to visit and eat. You will find Indians mostly and is crowded. Ambience is quite good and dinning place is amicable.

    Great Indian restaurant very close to airport. Good spot to stop for a hearty meal. Nice vegetarian /non veg Thali can be had for about INR 700, or you can order specific items from menu. Buffet options are also available. Beach is closeby. No outdoor seating available, alcohol is served, can seat around 50+ pax I guess. Restaurant is getting popular with both locals and visiting Indians. Parking available for 2 vans may be. We visited here for lunch soon after arriving in Bali last Sunday- was good start to our trip.

    GOLDEN SAFFRON They have a restaurant along with a bar. Ample seating was available when I visited. All the food tasted good and the service was very fast. But everything was very pricey. A good to-go restaurant for Indian cuisine. They mostly serve more North-Indian dishes than the South Indian. Wi-Fi is available within the restaurant's limit. Limited parking is available outside the restaurants.

    After few days of local food, definitely this turned out to be a great choice for Indian food. Good taste, friendly staff. Definitely worth the visit. Lot of choices in the menu - it is really big (about 20 pages). Food in general was good, we all liked it. Except the Lassi that was sour. Bath rooms could be little more clean.

    Had dinner with the fam at this restaurant. Sat at the long table in the middle of the restaurant, ordered our food and while waiting for our food to arrive, I saw a bunch of rats crawling on the grills above our head. Informed the owner of the restaurant about it and he didn’t even apologize to us nor offer refund. Food was also disappointing as we have ordered quite a few different things from the menu and when it arrived, they said it’s the same thing! Not sure if they or knowledge about Indian food is legit or not. It’s also pretty pricey.

    This place is just plane ridiculous. Even if the currency is 100 times less powerful than Indian currency food on an average in a decent restaurant throughout bali is 1.7x to 2.5x expensive than in India. But that's where this restaurant comes!!.. that too Indian madness. Food is on an average 3 to 4 times expensive and qty is 1/2 of what you get in India. Totally avoid this restaurant. Most times this place is empty which reflects it's stature as a money milking machine!. This ridiculous veg thali is roughly 878Rs ( Indian) which you get for 280Rs average in India...

    The service is good, the bartender is good, the manager is friendly. The food is delicious, it's best to have lunch at golden saffron. Food arrangement is also good and attractive. Don't forget that the chef is very good at cooking, very good and for this price it's really worth it❤️❤️.

    Been living in Bali for 10+ years, love Indian food and been to many resto, but just realized a place on Sunset Road is now turned to be The Golden Saffron. Great location and accessibility. I went to have late lunch/early dinner yesterday and super delighted with the experience. We had a shared meal veg and non veg (butter chix, palak paneer, tikka, roti), all are super tasty, flavorsome with the right portion. Price is on medium side, we spent IDR 600k+ for a meal of 3 persons, could easily be more in other place. Staff is friendly with warm greetings, decor was cozy with the right temperature. They have bigger room upstairs suitable for groups. I am picky on toilet and glad that it was clean and well ventilated. It was late afternoon, around 16:30 ish, but already 5-6 tables occupied with guests. Will come back again for sure.

    Worst place to go to. We are pure vegetarians and informed the same to staff there. Ordered veg thali. In paneer butter masala we found “chicken peices”. When we informed them, they simply said we don’t know how it happened.. they simply took out big chicken peices from the subzi and put in some paneer in it and served us, so there were still some chicken pieces left in it.. above all they were smiling when we asked them why they did that. They are Playing with people’s trust n faith. No proper staff.. there was only one lady who was waiting all the tables. Just serving tomato soup took them like 45 minutes. Everyone was irritated with their improper management.. through the kitchen glass you could clearly see that kitchen was also a huge mess. WORST experience Bali Food authority should barge in and shut this place altogether.

    Authentic Indian food in Bali. Loved the butter chicken, must try it out. The staff were super friendly and did an amazing job bringing our food out within minutes of ordering. Definitely visiting again if I get a chance.

    Pathetic Indian food ever eaten outside my country. Dal makhani, thali, pulao you name it and it was bad. Only coke( can) was good. Wasted money. Wasted time and ofcourse one lunch meal. Worst experience ever.

    Horrible experience. We traveled so long just to end up having dinner at an unprofessional restaurant. Service is extremely poor. They give food quantity of 2 people for a group of 9-10 members. And Food quality is also very bad. No management. The owner being Indian couldn’t satisfy Indian customers. That’s a shame.

    My first time having authentic indian food and it was amazing. We tried their roti, chicken tikka masala, murg massalam. Food was good, and staff were very friendly. Will come back for sure to try another menu

    Pity the minimum is one star, ‘this deserves a minus 5. There were three of us an another table of three who had been served their food when we arrived. There were no other customers all evening. The waitress could not answer our questions about food items on the menu. Having gone through the menu, I mentioned to the other two with me that the menu was far too big for them to do justice to Indian food. After she had taken our order, she promptly came back, no Bindi (lady finger) in stock. I chose another dish. Finally, our starters Papri Chat and vegetable samosas arrived. The samosa were ok, I have had much better from corner shops. The Papri Chat was a very big disappointment, it was nothing like a Papri Chat, the cook had cobbled some crackers as base and covered them with chopped onions, tomatoes, very tiny pieces of boiled potatoes and some obscure chutney. I complained and the cook came to talk to us. I told him, that what he had knocked up was not Papri Chat and told him if the ingredients, which included loads of fresh yogurt which was also missing. He just stood there. I had to tell home to go and prepare our main meal. We had ordered 2 tandoori rotis, there were a disappointment as the tandoor had not bee fired up and the rotis looked raw neither any sign of the usual fluffyness nor the odd burn mark one finds on tandoori roti cooked on full head of the tandoori oven. The Peshawari Nan was also a big disappointment and seemed have been a left over from previous service, the stuffing was bone dry and un recognisable. As my companions were locals and no knowledge of Indian cuisine, I did not want to spoil their enjoyment by making a fuss. After our meal I wanted to treat my companions to Indian deserts and Masala tea. They had Kulfi and Pistachio ice creams on the menu. We ordered Pistachio and the waitress came back with no Pistachio ice cream in stock. By now I had had enough and asked for the bill. Would you believe it, they added 18% tax which was just under 94,000 IDR. I saw this scam, but kept quiet for the sake of my companions. No other restaurant that we ate at charges tax on top of the displayed prices. That includes The Hard Rock Cafe in Kuta Beach.. Avoid this restaurant at all costs, unless you want to eat food which is an insult to Indian food and be ripped off with an 18% tax charge. Extremely bad value for money and a disastrous evening. Today we are going to dine at the Punjabi Grill, we bumped into it and it’s owners on our walk back to our hotel. These people were very warm, friendly and spoke Punjabi. The grills and tandoor are visible to the customers. Looking forward to tonight at the Punjabi and some decent real Indian food.

    Great place for Indian food. Authentic Indian dishes. I had fish thali. Both fish fry and fish curry tasted yummy. The fritters are a must try here. And so was the mango lassi

    Bad experience !! What is printed on the liquor menu is not served for customers. If you ask them to get premium whiskey which is the menu , they will deny and demand you to buy the entire bottle. No prompt response from staff. Manager not at site to answer queries. Food quality is very average. Will not recommend this restaurant to anyone. Double black which is printed on the menu was not served to customers. Instead it’s demanded to be purchased as a full bottle.

    Not recommended! This is a pure Indian restaurant We went on a package with the agent and the gave us the buffet. Food tastes bad and is very crowdy with lot of noise. Wash area is not great, too much pressure from tap can spoil your clothes. Parking available. Toilets are available.

    Our only Indian meal during our stay here and it was wonderful. The tandoori roti was superb and so was the dal fry. Lassi finally!!! Highly recommended for Indians missing home food.

  • 1/5 kanishk s. 1 year ago on Google
    Caution - place is only for south Indians As everything is made in coconut oil. Everyone can't like that food. North and central Indians just be aware. Find a better option on Legian street. There are lots. Just 10 mins from golden saffron

  • 1/5 dinesh b. 1 year ago on Google
    Most Overrated food .. They gave half cooked biryani with too much oil .. Price is too high with 500ml water bottle is 15K and doesn't have big water bottle. Overall, had very worst experience and suggest not to this place.

  • 1/5 Venkata N. 1 year ago on Google
    We had a very bad experience going here in the midst of rain. Food taste was not at all good and burnt out smell is coming from the biryani that we've ordered..We returned and they sent other biryani which rice was not all properly cooked as shown in the below snap. Another biryani is full of Oil and doesn't have any taste.. We made a mistake of going there and I recommend not to go in this restaurant as taste is not good and too pricey ..

    Good place to have Indian food, it's on the main road if you are traveling anywhere from airport or from/to ukuwatu / Canggu. We ordered chichen home style it was good the roti/breads were fresh. Also had the briyani which was decent enough.

  • 4/5 Narender K. 1 year ago on Google
    Delicious food. A bit pricey though. Overall a good place if you are looking for good Indian food or vegetarian food. Service could be improved.

    Friendly staff. Would go to the place just for its Masala Chai alone - ended up having 3 cups. Best Masala Chai I have had in Bali

  • 2/5 ramprasad j. 1 year ago on Google
    We had the vegetarian thali for lunch. The portions served are not enough for a hungry adult. Anything beyond what is in the thali is extra. Little on the expensive side for the quantity served. Taste is fine.
