First visit and the food was first rate. The service was a little small, but we was told that they was short staffed. That was OK as we were in no rush. We enjoyed the food and the service was very friendly and I will be happy to go again

We always use Saffron Tandoori and have done since we moved here. We have always said its the best around. But the last takeaway we had on Saturday was very disappointing. When we ordered it they said 1 hour and 20 mins no problem that was just after 6 when we made the call. We actually got our meal around 9ish. And the meal was cold..really not good your better than this.

Don't recommend for a delivery and you should check what you got before you pay. We ordered the food for delivery on Saturday evening, I know it might be a busy time of the week, but we waited for the delivery for 2 hours. Also we had 2 missing items. I contacted the restaurant, but no response... It is not acceptable.
