★★★★★ 5.0 Trysta Mo · Feb 2026

This is officially our go to place now! We tried Central by Saffron Valley today for the first time and it was amazing! The food is the best Indian food we've had all over the valley (we've searching). Everything was unbeatable quality with memorable flavors. Everything we tried was beyond our expectations, we cannot wait to try more! The atmosphere is unmatched especially compared to other Indian restaurants we've been too; the lighting is bright and welcoming. The space is beautiful, stylish yet cozy. We took our 15 month old and she was able to be herself in the environment With many issues of bumping into other tables. Perhaps one of the best parts of our visit was the service. The hostess and waitresses were very tentative and friendly, even going as far as giving us an appetizer to t

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Sabita Reddy · Feb 2026

The primary reason people dine at restaurants is to savor authentic food in a welcoming ambiance. Regrettably, authenticity aspect is missing here. Nevertheless, the staff's attentiveness to customers is noteworthy. This establishment's distinctive design may appeal to families with young children. Our order consisted of chicken kebab, Hyderabadi Biryani, and Rasmalai cake. The cake was flavorful, whereas the kebab and biryani were disappointingly bland 😤.

We went here for Valentine’s Day and they fit us even even though they were very busy and we didn’t have a reservation. We enjoyed it so much we came back for the lunch buffet the following day. Food and service were both excellent. We have eaten a lot of Indian food. They had some of the classics which were great but we also had some new flavors we really enjoyed. Highly recommend it!

I am not easily convinced a place is this good but the central in downtown really hit the spot. The chai was the right amount of plain and milky for me like the railway side chai. They added green chilli to my Pani puri and that’s a win win for me. The dosa , after a long day - my craving for a simple masala dosa with chutney sambar palya was just soo satisfying. Enjoyed it a lot. The ambience is top notch.

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Saili Thakur · Jan 2026

Vibe: The restaurant has a good vibe and is quite spacious. Service: Food came out in about 15–20 minutes. Wait Time: We visited on a Saturday for lunch and didn’t have to wait at all—the place was fairly empty. Food Quality: Overall, the food was just okay and didn’t really impress us. We were served a complimentary dish that tasted like a fried rice ball, which was fine. For starters, we tried Pani Puri and Dahi Puri. The pani puri water lacked flavor, but the dahi puri was tasty. The Paneer Apricot Kebab was disappointing—the apricot didn’t pair well with the paneer, and the paneer itself was quite tough. The mint chutney was bland and lacked a proper mint flavor. For mains, we ordered the Malabar Fish Curry, which was average and nothing memorable. The Garlic/Classical Naan was mo
