Welcome to Saffrron Restaurant

Saffrron is an award-winning and eco-certified restaurant serving delicious indian food made sustainably from local ingredients.

We source our local produce from Darwin’s best markets or directly from the grower. That means healthier, fresher, tastier food that also delivers a real sense of place and season.

We minimise food waste through smart stock management and kitchen prep practices. We don’t frown on doggie bags at Saffrron or let our customers feel uncomfortable about asking for food to be packaged up to take home – we encourage people to avoid food waste!

Being the first restaurant in Australia accredited with Climate Action Certification, and the first restaurant in the NT to receive Green Table certification, we strive to follow eco-friendly practices in our kitchen.

At Saffrron, we no longer need to turn lights on in the kitchen during the day, and you can enjoy air-conditioned comfort knowing that we installed an energy-efficient system with help from Eco-Biz NT.

We use energy-saving lighting and water-saving aerated taps and dual flush toilets. We recycle all glass and packaging. Even our waste cooking oil goes off to Fryer Fuels Darwin, a fantastic local business, where it’s made into bio diesel.

Saffrron has received various recognitions including the annual Earth Hour Awards, Banksia Sustainability Awards, and the United Nations Association of Australia World Environment Day Awards.
