Absolutely appalling service. An order of over £47.00 missing an item. Had to make 2 calls whilst my family were all eating their dinners to try resolve the issue. The item was then delivered, after we finished… eating, to which the driver said ‘these are another customers order’, which were stone cold. Called for a 4th time to which the guy on the phone repeatedly spoke over me. Refused to put money on the account for the next order and was happy to turn our business away. We regularly order from Saffron as a large family but after this service we will not be going back

Ordered a prawn saag, it's 95% spinach, 3% sauce and about 2% prawn! surely that's a false description? called restaurant to highlight this, extremely rude to my lady, calling her mate and accusing her of… having eaten all the prawns before complaining. lamb biryani was tough as old boots
seriously over priced for poor quality food and rude service

We first tried this restaurant via a takeaway delivery. The dishes on the menu persuaded me to try them as there were some authentic dishes you don't often see in the UK. The takeaway was fantastic. The restaurant this evening exceeded our expectations. The wine list was good, the staff attentive, and the food exceptional. The restaurant itself was immaculate and had a lovely decor. I will absolutely go there again, or order their delivery service.
