Best Indian takeaway, maybe ever. Pre-ordered on New Year's Eve, delivery was slightly delayed but understandable given the date. We were very impressed with our delicious curries - fresh and flavoursome and definitely worth the wait. I had a vegetable pathia, which was so tasty, and not a frozen pea or carrot in sight!

Missing items on a delivery. Disappointed.
One colleague passing the phone to another caused confusion with an order which resulted in items not being placed on an order.
No boiled egg in garlic chili achari apna style either ? how difficult can it really be.

Booked anniversary meal (29ssp) with Husband as good Reviews ,but defo not this one!!
They had a birthday party of 30 x18 year old lads having fun, VERY boisterous and MEGA loud!!!!
i was the only female and felt really uncomfortable!!
We complained only to be told that everyone had booked , not just us!!
Food was not award winning as advertised, we have been to much better in shrewsbury, poor show.

Don?t fall for the reviews. Service was slow, although there was barely anyone in the restaurant. The gravy was cooked with sugar syrup despite asking for it to be spicy. Overall nothing like authentic Indian food, the menu didn?t have a single paneer dish, although it?s available off-menu. Poor dining experience.

I'm going to preface this review by saying I eat out a lot, my standards are high - I am simply too fat to eat average food.I had high expectations of Saffron Cafe, after all if the infamous curry munching fatty Eric Pickles has eaten here...Unfortunately the service was average, the food was average. It just didn't wow me. Although credit where credit is due, Chablis albeit an average bottle was on the menu. Not many places stock reasonable wine now a days.The highlights were the nan breads and tarkha dhall. The prawns were fresh. And none of it was 'bad' just average.Coming from near Walsall I have been blessed with some of the best curries. So I know what good curry is all about.The poppadoms whilst cooked today were not warm and fresh fresh. They were likely cooked several hours before or maybe even the night before.Rice was again average, lacking vibrancy. The two main meals whilst vastly different on the menu shared a common base sauce. Never a good sign.Whilst I would not be in a rush to visit again I shall certainly give them the benefit of the doubt and try another dish.As for price it is at the upper end of curry pricing. I have paid more and had better curry and I have paid less and had better curry.Perhaps it was an off day for then, or perhaps they are living off a past reputation. I don't know but I cannot and will not say it was bad and nor can I likewise say it was fantastic.It was just simply average. And I'm too fat to eat average food.

ambiance good Claire at the bar who served me was very friendly and efficient. was there on the 18th around 6pm i had a 1/2 pint of Guinness while waiting for my party to arrive. was charged 5.25 gbp for that. it does not seem right. i believe that i was overcharged looking on line etc. i may be a neighbor there soon and in the interest of good relations and future business for you; i would-like that charge waived for the inconvenience here of contacting you; or at the vey least refund that price to my bank account i think you have the details. and re charge me the correct cost if you do not waive it altogether. i will stay in touch but if no reply i will dispute it on HSBC. my bank. i have left phone messages and e mails over the last 2 days thanks. my account shows 5.25 from the saffron cheers stephen mellini from new York; but englsih legal resident now

Slightly strange layout, the resturant is on the top floor, the decor is a little sparse. I have to say the starter I had(chicken chaat on puri) was absolutely fantastic, packed with flavour, it really had my taste buds dancing. After that I could not wait for my main. However I was left slightly disappointed by the lamb balti, the meat was quite fatty and the sauce was unfortunately a little bland which is sad after such an amazing starter.

My very dear friend and I dined @ your curry house of late, reason for 4 stars was because we had to wait a little longer but more probably the fact it was a busy evening. The curry I had was perfect, perhaps could of been hotter, however my friend found eating his Chicken Tikka Massala to sweet.

A friend received a recommendation for this restaurant so we gave it a go while we were visiting Shrewsbury. It was a Tuesday so it wasn't busy. A menu with plenty of new things to explore and award winning dishes. Great service and reasonably priced. Deffo worth a visit.

Helpful and attentive waiters. Showed me all the dishes they could make vegan and which dishes were already vegan. Great service and food was excellent! Good pricing. We had already been there 8 years ago and it has always been a high quality restaurant.Dietary restrictions: Excellent advice and knowledge from waiters regarding their dishes and ingredients.

Ordered a takeaway this evening, unfortunately there was a piece of sharp plastic in the meal, it could have easily cut someone?s gum. The restaurant denied all responsibility and would not refund the portion of the order that was affected. Terrible customer service, avoid!!!
