Chana Masala is my favorite Indian dish, and Saffron's is my favorite Chana Masala. Don't bother with the fried whatever they bring to the table free; save the room for more Chana Masala.

The dal makhani was delicious. Great fresh bread. As good as any Indian food in the UK!

Great butter chicken. Very good vegetable dishes, especially the cauliflower. Really good service. Only place that provided drinking water for my toddler in a covered disposable cup with straw.

First time here and the food was delicious! Not too spicy and very flavorful! Definitely coming back here!

We get catering from here often. I like their aloo gobi a lot. Butter chicken is good too but very heavy.

If you like spice food, choose the "Indian Spicy" Lamb Madras. It is amazing.

Pindi chana, piping hot rotis for a Sunday dinner buffet.

Buffet lunch, go big! Very big. Don't eat breakfast big. Order a mango lassi. Yum homemade nan. Make sure to save room for rice pudding. Say hi on Facebook.

Pricy and not particularly tasty or good service for this price

Front desk is unprofessional, gives out lower waiting time & doesn't even bother keeping the list in order. Just stand up front & you will get seated first. Food is delicious but service is poor.

Love smokey taste of butter chicken - great buffet ( yeah my weekly routine) - minus staff attitude

Very rude service. When asked to pack the remaining food on the table (as we ordered more than we could eat for 2 people), they brought empty containers and foil and told us to pack it ourselves.

Naan is super fresh.

My weekly (weekend) Buffet was great as usual - only if staff can season some attitude!
