Tasty food in this Indian restaurant. Staff attentive and helpful. However parking is not easy very near the restaurant. Easier to park on the Heath and walk to restaurant.

If I could give less than a 1 I would. The standards here have dropped considerably. As a member of the local community who has always trusted the quality of food provided by the Saffron Club, our recent order was quite the unpleasant surprise. Three of my relatives ordered a chicken tikka masala. To our horror, we agreed that the curry tasted uncannily similar to Heinz tomato soup (again, I'd like to emphasise that we have used and trusted in the Saffron Club, and have never had reason not to otherwise). I am convinced the curry contained this soup, which is unacceptable considering the prices

The Alexandra Players (drama group) from Charlton had their first Christmas outing all together since the pandemic started tonight. And it was wonderful! Great restaurant, delicious and appetising food served by very friendly, accommodating staff made tonight extra, extra special. I had the chicken tikka masala which was incredible Forgot to take a piccie of my dinner as I was hungry and didn't want to stop once I picked up my knife and fork. Highly recommend! Thank you for looking after us Saffron Club!

Delicious. We asked for an item that wasnt on the menu (Pathia, definitely recommended) and that, along with the 2 specials, was perfect. Tasty, freshly made, and simply delicious. We will be back!

One of the best curries I have ever eaten! So much better than the usual standard menus that a lot of restaurants have. Cant go wrong with Nepali food in my experience mind. We only had vegi - so cant comment on the meat choices - but the Thali was amazing. We had ours spiced up. Dumplings for starters shouldnt be missed either. Fab!

Food is very tasty, though slightly on the pricier side. Service could be better. They charge you 1 per poppadom so beware - its not free like in other places.
