New Saffron in Breckland

Fabulous meal. Staff were very welcoming, friendly and attentive. Lovely evening. Thoroughly recommend.

Had takeaway, food arrived luke warm was tasteless and the portion size was at best tiny,. So disappointing . Needless to say shall not order from here again

Superb. Service was exemplary. Not sure what the have so the waiter offered some advice. Obviously knew the menu very well and his suggestions were spot on. Food arrived promptly and was fabulous. We were very impressed with all aspects of our visit. Definitely on our list for a return visit.

Superb host, excellent quality food, great price - been using new saffron for many years now and haven’t had a bad meal. Always feel welcomed

Whilst visiting family in Thetford we had an evening meal . Fabulous! Service was great, staff very friendly and attentive. The food was delicious, excellent produce and flavours. We all had different dishes and thoroughly enjoyed. I would highly recommend and hope we will visit again, many thanks (sorry not many pics as too busy eating) 👍

Unfortunately the food tonight was poor. There was no taste to the curry’s. My partner threw his in the bin and said he won’t be having it again. Such a shame as it’s normally very nice

We went today for the Sunday buffet menu - it was great - good service - freshly cooked, tasted lovely and super good value.

Absolutely incredible, now it's Saffron the place was packed out. So lovely to see it alive, brilliant service and gorgeous food with lots of really interesting stuff beyond the usual Anglo-Indian menu staples (they're there too, don't worry.). Recommend asking for the Chipon special (forgive my spelling, might be wrong.)

Unfortunately food wasn’t good this time , tikka masala and korma was too sweet all I could taste was coconut nothing more , couldn’t eat it .

Best curry i’ve had and amazing service

We found this fabulous restaurant recommended on TripAdvisor, and we were not disappointed. They went above and beyond to make sure we got our food served in time, as we were running late for the Theatre. Food was so delicious, fresh and hot. All the staff were very friendly, with excellent customer service. We will definitely return if we ever visit Thetford again.

no salad with prawns even though ordered !! overall NOT piping hot, maybe not all cooked at the same time !

All staff pleasent and friendly helpful, food was absolutely loads very hot and tasty really enjoyable and tastes amazing definitely going back again.

First time at this restaurant we at at elveden center parcs went there tonight the staff was brilliant food was excellent so claen would definitely recommend this place to everyone Absolutely brilliant definitely going there again

You will struggle to find a better Indian/Bengali restaurant in Norfolk. The staff are friendly and charming, the tables have crisp white linen and the drinks menu wide ranging. The food was really unique, the herbs and spices fresh and flavoursome. My chicken tandoor Kata had lovely fresh curry leaves, lovely medium spice sauce and delicious moist chicken pieces. Don’t go anywhere else for a meal in Therford!

Ordered a delivery from here while staying at Center Parcs, and we were absolutely blown away. We ordered two of the set menus for 1, and the person who took our order on the phone was very accommodating regarding making changes. The price was unbeatable and probably half the price of the Center Parcs curry house for double the amount of food! The delivery was exceptionally quick and the driver called us when he left so we knew when to head to the security gate on our bikes. The food was still piping hot when we got to our lodge and we were pleasantly surprised with portion sizes. We could not ask for better service and cannot recommend enough! (Please note that Center Parcs does not allow delivery directly to lodges :) )

It was a lovely evening. Great food and service.

Food is warm at best and left half of the order out, got told to order next time by phone

Really great meal, food was delicious. Staff very personable and friendly. Would highly recommend.

First time using them fancied something different and very happy with the food and quick delivery and happy driver ☺️ thank you look forward to going for a meal inside

Had an amazing meal in here yesterday with the other half. We went due to the reviews and was not disappointed. Food was so nice and service was superb I highly recommend this place for a lovely meal 5* from me.

3rd visit. Wonderful, fresh food. Very friendly and accommodating. Very attentive throughout. We'll be back!

Brilliant. Highly recommended.

Amazing meals and service. We visit regularly and travel 30 minutes from a local Indian as it's that good! Service is second to none and we always look forward to our return visit before we've left. Good job to all running and working here

Fantastic food, service and value for money A+++

Always excellent food and service top and always made to feel welcome and are very attentive

Staying in the area for work for a couple nights so decided to try this place. I was very impressed, the service and food were both top notch. Decent price and one of the best curries I’ve had. If I lived close by this’d be a regular place.

First time I've visited and it won't be the last. Food was delicious, service was brilliant. Definitely recommend

Ordered from new saffron to try it as the other Indians are a bit iffy at times. Food was amazing. Delivered hot. I would defo recommend their rogan Josh and tikka masala!! Best I’ve ever tasted. Me and my partner were very satisfied with our take away. Oh also the delivery was fairly quicker than we got told it would be too.

Where to start.... We purchased a takeaway online and spent around £42.00 Went to the restaurant to collect and all seemed fine, the place looked nice and the staff seemed very friendly. Brought our food home, and that's when we realised the food was absolutely terrible. Balti chicken tikka was bland, watered down, and tasteless. So was the chicken tikka masala. No spice and definitely no flavour. The keema naans meat was a little funky. My cheese naan was chunks of cheddar folded in the naan. The only slight positive was the portion of onion bajhis. I really cant understand the positive reviews which is why we tried this place. What a waste of money.... won't be returning again.

food was delicious, bit skimpy on the screen though 😋 👌 😍

Really lovely food great price and quick delivery, the best Indian in town.

Lovely atmosphere and lovely service. Would love to go their again with more family and friends.

We were met at the door and showed to our table by a very polite member of staff. The room was light and airy with lovely decor and aircon. We were given time to select drinks then food. Everyone we spoke with was helpful and polite. The food was amazing and the Chef came out to ensure the food was good and the heat of a dish was how we liked it. It was a great evening, a great food experience in a relaxed environment. We will be going back, thanks to you all in the New Saffron.

Excellent food and service. Would highly recommend coming to the New Saffron.

We went here last night for the first time. Absolutely fabulous, cannot fault it and will definitely be returning very soon. Very good food and the service was excellent.

We had an amazing meal. The food was delicious, tasty and plenty of it. Very professional staff made us feel comfortable, welcome and important

Great location a few minutes walk from our hotel. Warm welcome, great food, decent prices. Good Indian cuisine. Highly recommended.

lovely meal, hot and very tasty

I'm visiting from London and have to say that's the best indian food I've had in aa very long time and I visit quite a few in London will defo visit again wen I'm in the area, we were treated great were served with politeness and they catered to our tastes great restaurant would defo recommend thank u

Was visiting from London and stopped by this restaurant have to say its better than any I've been to great food great service felt really welcome here thank u will be back wen visiting again

So delicious. Arrived hot and full of flavour. The stuffed pepper was one of the tastiest foods IV tried

Amazing food, service and a very big WELL DONE to all charming staff. I tried the lamb shank and the meat just fell off the bone. Cooked with the onions, tomatoes and various spices, - absolutely delicious. Shipon, the Apple juice made the meal! 😜😜😜 A wonderful restaurant and it seems to go from strength to strength.

The people at the store were welcoming and nice. They made sure to read my note and made my food spicy, just how I wanted it. The food was delicious. Lovely experience, would visit again.

Tasty food? Good service. Spotless white tablecloths. Couldn’t manage to eat everything, so waiter kindly put in a container.

Great meal at the New Saffron on Friday evening, everything was spot on. Great food, ice cold beer, great service, uniformed staff, super clean & smart. If I was local I'd be a regular there!

Very disappointing... the dishes were all sauce with very little meat... the prawn dish had 3 prawns in it for £13. Will be ordering else where next time

Food: Excellent. Delicious. Well paired flavours, generously spiced and garnished, made with fresh ingredients. Everything piping hot and well presented. The prices are actually on the low side considering the quality of the dishes. I recommend the lamb korai, which delivered amazingly tender and flavourful lamb pieces in a rich sauce. Service: Attentive waiting staff, not over-the-top friendly but perfectly professional. The owner, Shipon, was kind enough to explain some details about the dishes we were considering, and we were impressed that he was so happy to customise our dishes to suit our taste. He really delivered the personal touch, remembered our name and used it when speaking to us. Atmosphere: The restaurant is tastefully decorated and some simple background music adds a little atmosphere. The only reason I did not give five stars for this is because I felt a little on edge with the constant loud pacing of the floorboards by the waiting staff behind me. I felt that the constant walking back and forth looking for something to do was a bit of a mood killer for me. Would I go back? 200% yes.

Always amazing food and service from Shipon and his team

Excellent service - fast, friendly, and relaxed. Excellent food - a lovely tender lamb biriyani. Lived up to the great reviews - I’ll be back. Huge thanks to Shipon and Sal who served me.

Our first visit to the Saffron the food was very good what impressed me was the hot plates. Nice clean napkins and table cloths. The very nice manager came talking to us which we all enjoyed having a 😃 laugh. Will return. Good luck guys

Quite possibly the finest Indian food I've eaten outside of London. I've eaten many curries, sides and starters in my time and have also schooled myself extensively in making my own BIR style currys having researched and spent a great deal of time getting it (i hope!) just right. Eating at New Saffron last night reminded me once again why the pros are just that.. pros! My partner and I had a chicken dish from the chef's special menu and a lamb bhuna. The chicken was flavorsome with multiple of layers of flavour and a beautiful smooth finish. Delicious. The lamb was cooked to tender perfection, it was at a mouth melting level without a hint of fat or chewiness, the first time I have experienced this properly. Again depths and levels of flavour were astounding. Peshwari naan a personal favourite for both of us was simply outstanding and the lemon rice a perfect compliment to the two dishes. Plates and cutlery were clean, glasses clean and polished to perfection without a scratch or mark/smear in place. Service was attentive but not intrusive and the Head Chef who has taken over from his late father a force to be reckoned with. Young, passionate, knowledgeable and more than willing to generously share his knowledge and encourage others to try their hand at curry making. The kitchen was organised, clean and the chefs working in harmony with each other also. An absolute must visit for anybody in Thetford or Norfolk that is passionate about Indian food. The choice on the menu is vast, prices reasonable and service time speedy. 10/10 all round Danny

Super restaurant. Great food and service. Strangely they had moved from their prious location but I'm glad we found them, again. Their food and service are both excellent.

Flavoursome food, great variety and efficient service. I highly recommend and I will certainly be going again.

Great food and great service at a great price. A brilliant alternative to the awful food at centre parcs. Imran was particularly fantastic.

Such a lovely meal 😍 Really glad we found this place online (saved us from sub-par Center Parcs meal).

food was piping hot and was extremely flavoursome. Will definitely be eating from here again

First visit to the relocated restaurant. Such a nice restaurant and so spacious. Food was delicious as always and you have now added desserts. - a real bonus. Nice to see familiar faces and some new ones too. Impeccable service and truly enjoyable evening. Thankyou

We had a mid-week catch up after work with friends at New Saffron. An excellent meal with a very friendly and efficient service in what is a brand new venue. One of the best indian restaurants in the area by far!

I missed some of the Nimmi menu choices but the food we ate was delicious.

I must say! The BEST FOOD I’ve ever had. Highly recommend mixed grill, korma, prawn bhuna and biriyani. Perfectly seasoned and so flavoursome, 5* to the chef . Desserts were amazing, kids were amazed by the penguin ice cream. The staff was super friendly yet professional. Drinks and food served swiftly. The restaurant itself had an amazing atmosphere, the fish tank and the water feature definitely topped it. Honestly “THE BEST”, well done.

Temperature of the food was not even warm, curry lacked flavour and was watery.

Visited whilst travelling through Thetford. Great service, excellent standard of food - Highly reccomend. We were a family of four with 2 children and they really went the extra mile. The owner/manager has excellent customer service skills.

Excellent food and service. Lovely place to eat and celebrate special occasions with our family. Food is always extremely good.

Had a fantastic meal, the food was really delicious, probably the best Dansak you’ll ever have. The curries are not greasy at all. The restaurant is very clean and all the staff are smartly dressed and provide excellent service. Love the new premises, we’ll be back!

A lovely gem of a restaurant. Highly recommended for great service, attention to detail and delicious food. Will definitely be a regular and can’t wait to visit again. Well done to the whole team and thank you for making it a special night for us.

Wonderful service great food first class experience fabulous staff can't recommend enough was the end to a very special day many many thanks

We found this little gem before they moved in to new premises in White Hart Street. Food is lovely and more than enough of it, the service is great and the owner/manager takes time out to make you feel special each and every time you visit. We are not the easiest people to please, being Vegan always has its problems, but each and every time the food has been amazing, hot and good quality. Can recommend enough and can't wait to go again! Good luck in your new chapter!

Good food, great service and a nice atmosphere. Ideal for famished cyclists

The food and service was spot on last night. So nicely cooked and the atmosphere was warm and friendly. I look forward to eating here again very soon.

Ship and is staff immaculately presented, in there new restaurant, with a fantastic vibe and ambiance. Food was excellent as always and a 20% discount for mothers day, what more could we ask for. Will be back soon for another feast.

The new restaurant is much larger than the former premises. The decoration and accoutrements are first class. The staff are all very welcoming, friendly and efficient. The food was excellent. Parking is available within 150 yds. Certainly worth the twenty minute drive to get to the restaurant. We will be returning very soon. This venture deserves patronage and I feel sure it will be very warmly received within Thetford.

The best dining experience at the new saffron restaurant in Thetford The authentic curry, especially the chicken tikka masala with naan bread, was delicious. And enjoying it with a kingfisher, traditional Indian lager was delightful. Finishing off with a very nice liqueur coffee was a perfect way to end such a fantastic meal. We recommend the experience tasty food and enjoy the culture of this truly amazing restaurant

Food was amazing 10/10!! Staff were extremely welcoming, friendly and attentive. Family friendly and fast service, definitely the best Indian restaurant we’ve been to! Will definitely be returning again soon.

The New Saffron has traditionally been our favourite Indian Restaurant and I’d rate it the best of any I’ve been to nationwide. The recent move to new premises on White Hart Street has raised the bar even higher with comfortable surroundings, friendly staff and excellent food making it a special occasion for us. Well worth a visit.

We're fortunate to have such an good Indian Restaurant in Thetford. The New Saffron has been a great venue for our special occasions over the years and the new premises have raised the bar even higher. Well done.

Valentine's night food was barely warm, extras were missing and the prawns didn't taste fresh. We ended up not eating the meal, calling up the restaurant and asking for them to collect the food and issue a refund so we can order from elsewhere. We ordered online, through their own website and paid cash. We were offered a £5 gift card which isn't acceptable. We asked again for a refund and we're told we had to do it through the website we ordered through. Their website. I checked the website I ordered through and it gives the telephone number of the restaurant regarding complaints. The chef I spoke with told me I'm getting nothing and was abrupt and rude saying that the food was cooked fresh and that he can't refund us as they have delivered the food. We were then told, quite rudely again, that it was busy and that they would call us back at some point later. Worst customer service I have ever received!!

One of the worst Indian restaurants I’ve been to. How can you serve me one prawn as a sharing starter. Chilli paneer was mediocre. Biryani was underwhelming. Tarka dhal was bland and cold. Would not recommend, not sure how it has good average reviews. I should’ve walked out when I got there and it was empty but I thought it could be due to bad weather.

Wow..... This curry house is right up there in my eyes.The food was lovely I had a lamb dish that was to die for.Spoke to the owner who informed me they slow cook the lamb for maximum taste and melt in the mouth texture.The passion he shows is absolutely brilliant.Dont go anywhere else but here when in Thetford.

Another great evening, very friendly service, super menu, great food yet again, highly recommended for any occasion :-)

Had take away,food was luke warm,chicken was over cooked,naah was under cooked,always been very nice in the pasted

Food was brilliant, service even better.

This is a very pleasant modern minimalist Indian restaurant with curtious, knowledgeable and attentive waiters. The  food was cooked to perfection, tender meat, perfectly seasoned sauces and the lightest naan bread. This is one of the best Indian restaurants in which I have had the pleasure to eat and I would highly recommend to anybody looking for a comfortable and enjoyable dining experience.

So very tasty. Authentic. Would order again.

The food is always delicious, thank you very much.

We previously rated this place really highly and would pick up an order whenever we passed but this time quality seemed to have declined. Vegetables and other ingredients clearly weren't fresh. Hopefully a temporary blip.

Fantastic Lamb Shank prepared by Shipon. Matched by great service as always. Good luck with new premises.

Perfection. Best food we have ever had and hospitality, so friendly and welcoming. Highly recommended.

Best Indian restaurant and take away in Thetford. Friendly staff, Excellent food. Never anything missing when you get it home. Highly recommend.

Wow what an amazing find. If you find yourself in Thetford you must go here. Best curry i have had in a very long time

Another splendid curry on our annual midweek break to the area. Always looked after like royalty. Keep up the great service and good luck for future plans. Bobby, Dave and Joanne

Fantastic food efficient delivery. Definitely use again

Ordered take away and was really looking forward to good scampi but it was awful not proper scampi it was the mashed up rubbish. I can't eat that it has to be whole tail scampi. For over 10 pounds you'd expect decent meal but it was the worst scampi I've ever had. Please don't order this dish if you want proper scampi as you'll be very disappointed

The food was good, although the foil trays were only half filled.

Spot on! Good food, fast delivery, shall order again 😃

Delicious and generous as always!

Superb as always. Love New Saffron.

Excellent food and best Indian restaurant in Thetford staff make you feel welcome really recommend restaurant

As good as always, tasty and exceptional value for the money. Staff friendly and always willing to offer different options for your meal

I went with friends who were visiting from abroad. We had been on their last visit and they had specifically asked to go back. New Saffron didn’t disappoint. The service was extremely friendly and quick. The food was absolutely delicious. I will definitely come again.
