Saffron Kabob House - Katy

This is a new Afghan halal kabab place in the Katy area. We went there for dinner on a Friday night. It was fairly empty but the food was really good. Staff were friendly and food was served quickly. I’ll go back and I’d also recommend.

The food portion is quite small and insufficient to satisfy hunger. Prices are high in comparison to other nearby restaurants with similar ambiance and pricing. Customer service was average; staff showed limited attentiveness and did not …

Pretty good spot for some afghan dining. The restaurant itself is spacious enough with sitting for all different sizes of the group and is maintained well. We tried a few items including the mantu which was quite good as well as the …

Excellent & Exceeded Expectations! I’m very surprised at some of the bad reviews here, because we’ve eaten all over the world & this is one of the best restaurants we’ve eaten at. The venue is clean and simple, the server informed us that …

Soooooooo good! We came to Saffron Kabob House on Mason tonight! The Mantoo was so fresh and flavorful, the Bolani was toasted and tasty. We shared a naan and the Challow Kabob and it was seasoned perfectly. They need some Katy Foodies …

I’m a fan of Afghani cuisine, but here you don’t feel the place is welcoming as soon as you walk in and the servers are slow. Ok to try and the prices are reasonable. I tried the lamb shank with pilao rice and the kabab with nana

Great Experience at Saffron Kabob! I had a fantastic meal at Saffron Kabob recently and felt compelled to share how great the experience was. …

Very good Middle Eastern food — fresh, tasty, and full of flavor! Everything tasted authentic and delicious, and you can really tell the ingredients are fresh and high quality. The dishes here are more flavorful and unique compared to other …

Unfortunately, I have to update my review from 5 stars to 1. The service has gone downhill—servers now seem to have three top priorities: playing with their phones, playing with their phones, and playing with their phones. I assume the same …

My family and I have eaten here several times now and the food is constantly good. Even ordered online pickup and portions are just the same and full of flavor. …

I just ordered to go this past Friday evening (this is my 2nd time ordering to go). First time, the food was great.. I was so impressed, kids and husband love it, we really enjoyed it and ordered the same food again for our friends to try. …

Lucky to have across this joint during our visit to Houston . Excellent chicken and beef kabobs. Borani Bandejan was a super tasty surprise. Mango juice is the real deal unlike the fake stuff in most restaurants. Will visit again … cheers 👍 …

First time here. My wife and I found on Google maps looking for a kabob place. Place was kind of empty, only two parties in the restaurant. Took a bit to get …

We got the Kabuli Pulao, Mantoo and Chapali Kabob. All the food tasted fresh and we enjoyed it. The lamb shank and the chapali kabobs were juicy and tender. To be honest, I think their menu prices are reasonable compared to many other …

I really liked ordering here at first because I liked the food, but this is the second time now they've given me the incorrect order. You need to check your food before you take it if you choose to order from here. I ordered the challow …

The food was exceptional. Perfect portions! The rice was flavorful and perfectly cooked, and the meat was well-seasoned—especially the Chapli Kababs, which were outstanding. …

Good food and service. The mixed platter was really good.

One of our favorite spots for Afghani food! We've come here often enough to have tried all of their kabobs, and each one is …

The food was prepared fresh and all the dishes we had were cooked to perfection. Will definitely be coming back. We ended up ordered 5 dishes dishes and dessert as well.

It’s a very first time at Mason’s location but there Hilcroft restaurant we have visited many many times and I should say we started visiting Hilcroft location since 2002 but many managements changed and since last 10 years they are the …

We came fairly early on a weekend so got our order done pretty fast without rush. I have been wanting to try their menu for a while, and I liked the taste quite a bit. I got their mantoo dumpling, chapli kabab with rice.

The restaurant is excellent, offering delicious kabobs with rice that have an incredibly satisfying taste. The TEKA is outstanding, and we thoroughly enjoy it. Additionally, the waiters are friendly, welcoming, and efficient in taking orders.

I come here all the way from Canada. Whenever I visit Houston, a stop here is a must! The best Afghan food I have ever had. The flavours are incomparable to any other place you’ve ever tried!

Food was spicy. I ordered the beef kabob. I could not eat it. My wife ate it the next day. She said thdy used the cheapest meat they could buy. Experiencing this restaurant makes me realuze that I only eat out once or twice a week and I …

Excellent food and service. Quiet atmosphere that you can talk with raising your voice. I have recommended this restaurant to many. The flavors are well balanced, spicy dishes if you want, but every dish filled with flavor.

The place is easy to find and there is ample parking. Complimentary salad is a welcome touch. Food came pretty quick which is great if you arrive there already hungry. …

This is one of my favorite places! Love eating here. Love the tandoori chicken and chapli kabob.

This was my second visit to Saffron Kabab. I placed to go order. The chapli kabab was ok (decent) but the naan that came with the order was cold and stale. I guess they think that it's ok to serve stale naans with to go orders.

The staff was really nice. They gave us recommendations of what was good. The food was great. The wait time wasn’t bad at all. We got bolani as an appetizer and a salad. Bolani was tasty and had a little spice. The salad was refreshing. We got the chicken and beef which were seasoned amazingly. I would definitely order again!

I had bolani, borani badejan, quabili pullow, and Mantoo. The rice with the carrots and raisins is mind blowing, it’s so good with the seasoned rice. I’m very pleased how good the food is and the flavors are mouthwatering. I’ll definitely …

Excellent afghan restaurant, very delicious food. I like the kabob combo dish and appetizer. Definitely I will go back!

The food was absolutely fantastic, and their Yemi tea is an absolute must-try! I can't wait to go back again.

HANDS DOWN THE FOOD WAS AMAZING! Everything had really good flavor, and I got full and still wanted to continue eating. Even the plain rice had so much flavor and the manager was very sweet and constantly checking up on us with the order. Food was also fresh.

The best Afghani food in town. The new location however has serious service issues. I placed my pickup order on call and was told it will be ready in 15-20 minutes. When I reached, not one …

Amazing food. Very reasonable pricing. The staff gave a very family feel. Will definitely be frequenting this place regular.

Absolutely loved our visit to Saffron Kabob House! The food was bursting with flavor you can tell everything is made fresh with care. The staff was not only attentive but genuinely kind, which made the whole experience feel extra special. …

First time eating at this location in Katy and I'm glad it's so close to me. The food was really good and the service was top tier. Highly recommend.

Caught up with some friends here today. The food was excellent. Glad we found this hidden gem. Will be returning next chance I get!

Honestly some of the best food on mason rd. When my family comes from out of town we go there. The dumpling and potato bread the kabab everything is so good! It's clean too that's a bonus! It such a cute place

Really nice place. Very clean and the service is pretty quick. Not pricey at all. The quboli rice with the lamb shanks was amazing. Definitely worth a try.

The eggplant curry with naan was so good. We also ordered chicken kabob. The chicken was so fleshy and flavored. overall experience was very satisfied.

Pretty good spot and food if y’all are ready to try some good Afghani cuisine.

The food was pretty good but there was a bug in our naan so that sort of ruined it. It also would have been nice to know we would be paying $1.50 for a bottle when we ordered water

First time going today. New restaurant only open a few months. Naan was fresh made and very delicious. Inside is soft and outside slightly …

The food was great and reasonably priced. I’ll definitely come back!

Food is great here, love their chicken tandoori!be sure to ask for the menu with more pictures.

Surprisingly good!!! Nothing fancy but I really enjoyed the food. I would definitely revisit

This place is amazing, great tasty food, service beyond the best. Bezad my server friendly and polite. I definitely coming back, I recommend this place one hundred percent. I had chopli Kabob, it was exquisite.

I’ve always liked Safron Kabob House. Last week, I went there for dinner with two other families. We sat at one of the large empty tables and were soon greeted by the waiter. He mentioned they close at 10 PM, and I told him it was only 8:30 …

The worst food ever and too expensive.

This place has made me fall in love with Afghani cuisine, really good chapli kabab and kafta kababs.

It’s a clean place but I got sick after eating here. My sister was fine though.

Went here with my daughters and the space was very clean and quite pretty but the food is where it's at! The food was amazing. My one daughter didn't want to go here at all thinking she was not going to like the food offerings. She got …

Great food and service for a very affordable price. Peaceful place for family dining.

SO GOOD! and so glad it’s just around the corner. I’ll try to stop by again soon. It’s been too long.

Bad service period. We went there with family, they didn’t ask us for any drinks brought the salad and appetizers without any plates, got one of our order wrong. The server was …

There are many amazing restaurants in greater Houston/ Katy area, so keeping up with good service is essential which this place lacks. Also the portions are surprisingly small not fully representing the Afghan cuisine and hospitality. However, the taste of the food was good.

Amazing chicken kebab. Staff was super friendly. I was on a road trip, but if this place was close to my house I would be there constantly. They also have great vegetarian options, thanks for the great lunch!

I ordered delivery...Food was very delicious and fresh..Also it is not over priced..I will order again

We came here with family, and enjoyed the food. Service was very good.

Delicious food. Quiet. Perfect for unwinding. Afghani tea was a great compliment to the lamb. Busy. Lots of takeout traffic. Will definitely be back. …

We visited this restaurant several times simply for the reason that it offers good food and service. The Staff is excellent. We have no complaint about it, however, on July 01 we had a family lunch with our guests from Austin. After having …

Amazing food as always. Great and prompt customer service.

Great flavor. We loved everything that we tried.

The place was nice, quiet but the portion for food is too small to even fulfill one person, and most importantly the staff was not nice they were confused and had no idea what they were doing. The server guy tried to charge us more even …

Delicious Food , good people, i have tried this place more than 10 times and loved all 10 times. Definitely recommend

Terrible experience from start to finish. Service was painfully slow, and the restaurant was clearly understaffed. Our entrées came out before the appetizers, and we had to wait nearly an hour just to get our food. Completely disorganized and unacceptable. I will never be coming back.

WILDLY TASTY! Took a few minutes to get change for a $50, forgot the salad initially and the to-go silverware also, but that doesn't matter to me.

REALLy good food and prices. Afghanistan’s rice and lamb was SOO good

Food is incredible- some of the best I’ve had in an area with great restaurants all around. Kabobs are juicy and flavorful, mantoos are delicious, even the rice tastes great. Prices are reasonable too given the portion sizes- one could easily split an entree between two people.

I’m giving it a 4-star only because everyone in my group liked the food. The items I ordered weren’t good and I was disappointed, especially considering the excellent food and service at their Sugar Land location. My salad had mostly wilted …

Place has a pleasant atmosphere, very clean, staff is courteous and fast. We ordered in total 10 items of food and from first to last bite it was a genuine treat ,a food of a big comfort. I definitely recommend this restaurant, you will not …

We've gotten food to go from here a few times and today was our first time dining in. Food has consistently been delicious. We love the appetizers mantoo, bolani, and badejan, hoping I remembered the names right. I've tried the lamb curry, …

Edited - used to be 5 stars, now 2. I come to this restaurant multiple times a week….I’ve given this restaurant …

Great food. Awesome Chapli and an amazing Lamb Shank. The Shank is a bit spicy, so be prepared. It's not fancy - it's a comfortable family-style spot.

Clean, tasty food, good price, good portion Service could be better. Looks like family business and they are busy sometimes

Food quality and taste is amazing. Would definitely recommend the Chappli kabob and chicken tandoori. Also can never go wrong with Bolani. Only downside is you have to pay for water and not the greatest sit down environment.

We love the food here. Always fresh.

Absolutely amazing. We ordered on a whim and we're not disappointed. The chicken and lamb fell off the bone and the rice.. so perfectly seasoned. This place has made our weekly list on the first try. Looking forward to exploring their menu!

Last week we visited this place in Katy. The food was amazing. We had Afghani Lamb Pullao, Chicken Biriyani, Beaf Kabab with rice and Garlic Naan.

Wonderful flavors, great food! Enjoyed everything we ordered. Chapli and challow kebab were our favs. Also enjoyed the Lamb Curry (we ordered seconds of all of these)! …

First time tried this restaurant. bolani, mantoo, chapli kabab and afgani pilaou all are so delicious. Quality meat and good taste.

Don’t take phone orders if you will still make customers wait hours

Been leaving one star reviews for repugnant service in Houston (people don’t like their jobs here) but it’s nice to commend Saffron an appreciable restaurant. Great food. Lamb Curry had me licking fingers! Down to earth service. Most restaurants make you feel like you’re interacting with TSA at IAH!

Saffron Katy never disappoints. It’s a nice place to sit inside and the food is consistently good. My favorite is the Chapli kabob platter and mantoo. In addition, the food is affordable unlike other halal restaurants in Houston.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at this restaurant and was thoroughly impressed with their Afghani cuisine. The chapli kabobs were outstanding - perfectly seasoned and cooked to finger-licking perfection. Additionally, the kabli rice …

It's the same old authentic afghan cuisine. They have been in houston for a long time with locations in hilcroft, westheimer, and now serving in Katy. Must recommend! …

I’m a kabob lover, and these are some of the best kabobs I’ve tasted. Everything was super delicious…the green chutney was the best chutney I’ve ever tasted. Service and atmosphere was very nice as well.

I liked their lamb shank. You gotta try their pudding it’s the best dessert I have had ever. We also went late and the were very patient with us even though we delayed their closing time

My family and I come to this restaurant semi-frequently. We’re usually big fans of the food, but oftentimes we’ll have to check if the order was prepared correctly as we’ve had mistakes on our takeout order from this place multiple times. …

Delicious food and great portions! Really enjoyed the environment and the service. Great experience! Will definitely visit again

We really enjoyed our lunch here. Everything was seasoned very well. We had the mixed kabobs and a Dahl soup, and a mint-cardamom-yogurt sides. The house baked Afghani Naan was a nice touch. Though we don't normally get a dessert everything was so good we tried the house made firni and were not disappointed.

The food at Saffron Kabob in Katy is fantastic! Had the Quabili Pallow and Tandori Chicken. Both were nicely spiced and tender. The best, however, was our appetizer Mantoo. This was fabulous...will order as an entree next time. Looking forward to a return visit so I can try other items.

Walked in today for dinner with family but it smelled so bad in the restaurant that we had to leave. To the owner: Your food is always amazing but please hire a professional …

Yesterday was my third visit, and it’s my last. I ordering the lamb kabob as usual for pickup. The rice tasted stale as if it was reheated from either earlier in the day or the previous day, and the lamb chops were all bone and fat with …

We placed Tray order for Kabuli Pulao and Chicken Kabob for our party and all of the guests really liked the Food from Saffron. Kabuli Pulao rice was well cooked and Lamb shanks were very moist and tender. Chicken Kabobs were very flavourful. We will order from here again specially for large parties.

Absolutely amazing service and food was so freshly cooked ,delicious,very organic ,I’m a good cook myself and I can spot on,figure out,if there’s something wrong ! They nailed all the dishes to perfection .loved every morsel ,nann was so crispy and fresh . Keep it up 👍 …

I got the chicken kabob, nan and mast o-khiar to share with my husband. The rice and chicken were cooked perfectly. The salsa that comes with it has a really nice flavor and kick. The mast o-khiar was delicious to dip the chicken in. I'm …

Very tasty and fresh. Cozy restaurant.

Taste of chapli kabab and lamb curry is the same as hillcroft location but quantity is signficantly less. Chapli kabab was thin and rice quantity was pretty less. Had to order extra rice that isnt required at Hillcroft location. Borani …

Good portion, food (Chelo Kabob )and appetizer( Eggplant Borani ) tasted great . The bread was really good. Clean and nice environment. I definitely go back with my family .

Very clean place from the inside, very tasty food. We came in just because I found them on Google. We got quabilli pallow and the tandoori chicken along with daal. Very good food! And the prices were very fair and decent! Highly recommend this place. The servers are nice too.

Chapli Laban we’re the best. Nan was hard, should be soft. Challis Laban was could be little more spicy. Cucumber in salad was hard to chew because it was not peeled completely. We expected lamb shank in the menu being an Afghani dish. Over all good experience.

The food, the environment, and staff were above and beyond. We got the chapli, challow, and beef kabob and they were all exceptional but my favorite was the challow kabob. We also loved the appetizers here.

Chicken was tough and too much char. 2nd try and will not be back. Charged same price for a water as a soda. Can’t get a glass of free water?

Very bad experience. The service was terrible, the food was awful, and everything was extremely slow. Overall, it was bad in every way. I would not recommend this place at all.

The food is quite good but the service is quite amateur and the atmosphere very basic. I hope the management gets their employees better trained because I am sure they can do better. …
