Saffron Haveli

Tucked into the Mount Victoria area, Saffron Haveli serves Indian food to locals and visitors in Mount Victoria, Wellington. Its central position makes it easy to reach on foot from most inner-city accommodation.

Diners come here for Indian food. If it is your first visit, look out for classics of the style such as garlic naan. With 35 Indian options across Wellington, this corner of the local food scene is well covered.

Saffron Haveli opens 5 days a week and is closed on Mondays and Saturdays. The earliest start is 11:30 am on Tuesdays, and the latest finish is 9:30 pm on Tuesdays. Like many traditional restaurants, it closes between lunch and dinner service on several days, so check the times before heading over mid-afternoon. In total it trades for about 33 hours each week.

For budgeting, Indian restaurants of this kind in New Zealand typically cost around $20–$40 per person (Moderate). The neighbourhood is a busy food area – there are at least 10 other places to eat within a kilometre, so you have plenty of options for drinks before or dessert after.
