    It was my first time booking into Saffron on the 14/08/2022. I was very displeased and unhappy with the food. The starter table was very basic and the mini quiche was very dry and so was the samoosa. Everything else on the started table was very basic. The main course was not exciting, the beef casserole and the meat was dry everything else was very basic. The brisket and grilled fish was basic aswel. The dessert table was just fancy looking and the cakes where dry n not appealing. The cream used was also artificial and did not taste like proper cream. I will not recommend this place to anyone and will not come back to Safrron in future.

    Excellent service recieved. An initial request of having a prebooked table with a view at the window wasn't accommodated however management made sure that they make up for this error. Extremely pleased with the service. Will definitely recommend Saffron.

    I absolutely enjoyed my experience at Saffron restaurant. From easy booking, friendly staff, relaxing atmosphere and the most delicious foods. Everything was spectacular. The buffet was amazing with a variety to choose from. The soft soothing music added to the ambience. Will definitely recommend it and will return many more times.

    I arranged early arrival and early drink arrangements. No service was received for up to an hour. I was disappointed as no adequate communication between staff was done - thus slow service and confusion occured.
