Saffron Indian & Bangladeshi Restaurant: Reviews & Ratings
Food was very good, I usually go for an Indian takeaway over eating in the restaurant as I usually prefer it but I have just had one of the best dhansak I’ve had and the service was impeccable . Definitely coming back.
One of the best restaurant to eat in and take away and if I could give more then 5* I would. this was for the old saffron and the new one is so much better. Everything on point i would definitely recommend them for the space and quality food and services. ...
Went on Sunday night and took advantage of the Sunday Special - 18.50 for starter, main, side dish and rice or naan. The food was amazing. Very delicious (particularly the Saffron starter platter and the lamb in garlic and coriander). The food was a flavourful blend of spices without going overboard on the heat. The side dishes were also tasty (although, I would've liked the Bombay potatoes to be a bit spicier). The service was great, very attentive, although, to be fair, the restaurant wasn't busy. The amazing thing about this meal though was the price! 18.50 per person for the quality and amount of food provided represents incredible value for money. Will definitely be back on a Sunday!
We've visited several times - delicious food, freshly cooked to order so understandably doesn't come out quickly. Previously we've found if difficult to keep the drinks flowing but this time the waiters were better at checking on our drinks, which is important to keep the vibe whist waiting for the food. One of the waiters was not as happy/friendly as the others. It turns into a bit of chaos when the dishes arrive (ours was a party of 8). With the waiters shouting out the dishes and the recipents finding it hard to recognise what they ordered. Would be great if the waiters had system to remember who ordered what to make for a more pleasurable experience. Lastly, they don't serve tea of any sort! We're a tea drinking nation, and so is India. Please invest in some tea pots and tea bags. Peppermint tea is also a popular choice. The food will keep us coming back.
Great food, great people, great vibe, great price and most of all a great curry. (Can’t forget the Cobra either) Highly recommend for anyone in the area. The best curry house in Eastleigh

On my visit, I couldn’t resist the Sunday Special, which delivers a remarkable deal at just £18.50 for an impressive spread: starter, main, side dish, and either rice or naan. The Saffron starter platter and lamb in garlic and coriander were particularly highlights, showcasing a careful balance of spices that elevates each bite without overwhelming the palate.
