We love this restaurant and have now been four times despite not living locally. It’s family run, the food is excellent across the board and it’s very pleasant to visit. Whilst the location is on an industrial estate just past the railway station ( next road down from there), once you’re inside it really doesn’t matter. The service is efficient and friendly and we will be back!

My friends and I ordered a takeaway meal. Chicken korma, chicken madras and a saag paneer. It was the worst Indian meal I have ever had. The mains consisted of chicken and sauce, not a single other vegetable. The saag paneer had lumps of paneer in it the size of 10p pieces. Really, really awful. Will not be using again.

Delicious food! Never ate such a great tasting Indian food before, better than I ate (several times) in London or in the Netherlands, where we come from. And also an excellent and friendly service! We would come here again if we are nearby! Thanks a lot to the staf of Safar for having such a great experience!

we went here TWICE in one week, the food is incredible and the service very friendly it always feels risky going to a new indian whilst on ‘holiday’ but after reading the reviews about this places food, we felt we should & we were not disappointed the mixed meat platter (pictured) as a starter looked and tasted wonderful! what we particularly enjoyed were the ‘chef specials’. for example, one of us had the southern indian korma and it was a delicious spin on the normal one, as was the southern indian butter chickenthe king prawns in the king prawn tikka were HUGE. i’d recommend the chicken tikka dansak (i was weak and had it mild haha!). the portions of rice and naan are also very well priced and generousall in all, a wonderful place for an indian!

Delivery service is unacceptable. Firstly the website would not accept my order so had to phone in the order and pay 10% more. Ordered a takeaway at 1815 and told delivery would be between 1hr and 1hr 10 mins. After an hour and a half no food had arrived. Rang and enquired where the food was and was told it left 20 mins ago, at 1925, the latest time they promised it would arrive. It is only a 15 min drive. After another phone call it arrived at 2015 and after 50 mins on the road the food was cold and spoilt. The same happened a couple of years ago but we thought gave them a second chance! Never again. Restaurant may be ok food might also be ok it it doesn’t tKe 50mins to get to you but DONT USE THE DELIVERY SERVICE!

Booked online after reading reviews. Booking confirmed promptly. On arrival we were slightly concerned at the location of the restaurant but needn’t have worried as both food and service were very good. Both my curry and my wife’s were excellent along with the Nan breads and at a very reasonable price. There we a couple of things we didn’t like which were the mixed starters for two which was a number of items chopped up and served with salad and the accompanied raita was gloopy and sweet.If in the area again we will definitely go back but order different starters

Usually we are very pleased with our meals from Safar but on this occasion we had a meal and wondered whether the chef had changed. The dishes were insipid-lacked flavour and most unusual we had to add salt.Usually we have plenty of food for the next day but we decided to dispose as we really did not enjoy it.£50 wasted on this occasion.Delivery was quick and we always appreciate the service.

Fabulous Saturday lunchtime treat collected from Safar today. Tikka Dhansak was excellent - perfect balance of hot, sweet & sour with lovely thick sauce. Chicken Karahi was also extremely tasty with lots of onions & peppers. Bombay Aloo is always a must - I have no idea how Team Safar manage to make this dish so flavoursome!Just one more thing to say to Chris, Daisy & the Team...........please keep on doing what you do best and DON'T change a thing Looking forward to our next meal already

It isn’t hot and I wouldn’t call it medium either but it wasn’t a bad thing it was nice to taste the spices. Thoroughly enjoyed it. And the driver was very polite too and the food was still very hot and we are about 5 mins drive away. Excellent service Thanks again

During the present lockdown the delivery service for takeaways provided by Safar has been consistently good. The food arrives either spot on the time given, or a few minutes early, it is cooked to their usual high standard and it is hot - how they achieve this in the current cold spell is amazing, but every week that we have had food delivered it could not be hotter if we had been sitting in the restaurant!The menu is varied and full accurate explanations given for each type of dish and the pricing is really competitive.If you haven't ordered a takeaway from here before I recommend that you give them a try - you will not be disappointed.....The delivery staff are pleasant and courteous and mostly observe the current standards for delivering the food, though there has been the odd occasion when it has been handed over instead of being left on the doorstep, the only criticism that I can offer.

We decided to have a treat New Years Eve, so logged into the online ordering as they opened at 5pm, I placed the order (set meal for 2) for delivery, and it said 55 minutes, perfect timing for us........ At 7pm I rang and asked when our meal would be with us, I was told another 20 minutes ..... at 8.20pm (after trying for more than 10 minutes) I got through again and was again told another 20 minutes, rather than wait for delivery I informed them I would be there in 20 minutes to collect, and I still had to wait another 15 minutes before we finally had our food.The food was mostly good, Lamb tikka very tough and we only received 1 rice, but I was too tired and hungry to complain ....

Ordered food at 6 o'clock online to see an online timer to saying it would be 50 minutes. 2 hours after ordering we're still waiting. We've made a phone call and have been told "sorry, we're waiting for a driver". That's all we could get out of them. So are we lead to believe that our food has been sat there for an hour just going cold??? I don't care how nice the food might be when it eventually arrives. I'm staving and clearly the staff don't care as they already have our money.

Whilst enjoying our starters it was so nice hearing other guests complementing the flavours from there dishes. People were greeted, customers were cared for beyond words to discribe. I am yet to delve into our mains as what we have already experienced so far i am so excited to taste the rest.

I ordered tonight at 20:26, spoke to a female, who called me a Sir, eventhough it was obvious by my voice i am an young female. She advise me of 30-40minutes wait for the order. As she wasnt sure of the area, she passed her manager on to take the address, which was 1.1 miles away.By 9:30 i got worried, so i phoned the restaurant for an update. I was assured, the food will be with me in next 10minutes. I gave it another 20minutes,so they dont feel under pressure. At 9:50pm (nearly 1 hour and half from placing the order) the phone was engaged. 3 more attempts, no luck. By then my daughter was really hungry and tired, so i put her in her pyjamas into the car and decided to collect it myself. We reached the restaurant in less then 5mins using satnav, as we are not local. Only then i received a phone call from a delivery person that she is nearby my address, but not sure where about. Eventually she brought the order back to the restaurant car park, where i received it nearly cold. I would NOT recommend this restaurant for a take away service at all, as they havent got reliable delivery service if any, and are not reliable when it comes to time keeping of order delivery.

I have ordered a few times from them before and deliveries you expect to be a bit late but not way over an hour. I was very polite to the manager and just explained it was not our problem they was running late and I didn’t think it was exceptable for it to be this late. I think it’s an absolute disgrace I was spoken to in this way and a simple apology would of been nice. I can’t actually believe the service I received this evening very disappointing!!!!!!!!

Lots of chicken in my Vindaloo, delicious sauce, Rice fluffy and fragrant, Paratha fantastic. Onion Bhajees just as they should be. I collected my takeaways and received a discount and free popadoms. Today's was my 4th meal from this brilliant restaurant and they have all been just as good. It's the best curry in this town and as I have already said, I have never tasted better anywhere ever..

We came here on Saturday night with my auntie and uncle who recommended you to us as we are not from this area, we were so grateful for the complementary Indian nibbles, the curry was excellent the best vegetable balti I’ve ever had and everyone else’s curry’s were just as good, the portions were very big and well presented and very tasty, a big thank you for my surprise birthday cake after the meal, all these extra touches go a long way, the service was excellent and friendly, next time we are visiting the area we will definitely return to pay a visit. Thanks again for a rememberable evening.Thanks Paul & Paul

Wow, I wish I’d found this restaurant earlier! Chris and Daisy are friendly gracious hosts and the food is truly the best Indian in the uk I have had in years! The mixed starter was awesome, crispy fragrant fish, light as air onion Bhajis and (first time ever) unlimited pickle and raita dishes

I would not normally take to Trip Advisor, but felt compelled to leave this positive review after taking my family to Safar. From the moment we arrived Chris and Daisy made us all extremely welcome and showed us to our table with clean crisp white table linen and fresh flowers..!To also give an indication of it’s reputation, we did not expect a full house on a Wednesday.With first impressions already great, I have to say the eating experience was exceptional and second to none and a real credit to this little hidden gem.Thank you and see you again soon...!

We were a party of 7 celebrating a birthday on Valentine's Day - the restaurant and tables looked fabulous with fairylights, red roses, balloons and hearts & petals scattered on the tables.

My partner and I visited here for an evening meal, knowing the food was going to be good as I’ve eaten here before, but this meal was by far the best experience of Indian food I’ve ever had yet, the food was absolutely amazing, best customer service from the owner Chris, food came out in good time, and it was so good i even got a takeaway as well, worth more than 5 stars by far,

Another lovely meal ..... I had a mixed Breyani which was tasty and well cooked. My partner had the prawn Korma and that was lovely too. The service is exceptional and I will be back. Highly recommended

Great location firstly as there is loads of parking. Very nice atmosphere and decor. Best of all food is top notch. Not too bad prices as you get good size portions ...enough to take some home.... which was no problem to them at all.

We ordered a meal which we collected. It was first class. Every dish was good and as described on the menu. We all enjoyed it. My Lamb Maharajah was particularly good, really hot and really tasty.

We got a take away from Safar and it didn’t disappoint. All our dishes were hot and tasty. Their menu has a wide variety and would recommend to others. Will definitely be using again.

A quick lunch that I strongly feel was one of the best curries I have had in a long time.the garlic nan was perfect, the boiled rice was light and fluffy and the chicken ceylon curry was excellent. Very nice welcome and service, the restaurant looked newly decorated. The surroundings were a bit odd (it is in an industrial area) but don't be put off, make the effort to look them up you won't be disappointed.

Whilst in Axminster for a couple of nights with work i fancied an indian meal. Boy did i choose the right place. Quite an intimate place i was a lone diner with two other large parties in at the time. My service didn’t suffer because of the two large parties.

Ordered a meal for delivery and well over an hour later, and later than advised I had to chase delivery. I was told it was leaving now, of course, and nearly 30 minutes later when I was contemplating asking for a refund it arrived. I got no apology at time of calling or time of delivery but my 'free bottle of wine' for an order of over £25 was actually a bottle of cobra beer!!!! Wow.....will never order from here again.

Another great meal at Safar restaurant with my family. To begin with the restaurant is spotless which is a must for me and it's the first thing I look at in a place for eating. The food is delisous, evey meal we ordered looks and tastes wonderful, the chef takes pride in his cooking and presentation. The owner is so attentive but never intrusive, he is especially generous with children. This restaurant deserves to do well, you will not be disappointed beleive me.

I’m sorry but this is the worst Indian food I’ve ever had! The chicken tikka in the meals was just like plain chicken-bland and tasteless. My 2 boys love chicken tikka masala, and eat it anywhere, even with all the variations on colour and taste, but would’t eat it from here. Really not sure how this place has for such great reviews?

I ate here with my elderly mum and thoroughly enjoyed our meal. She has eaten there with others family members but this was my first visit. The owner and his wife were very welcoming and our order was quickly taken and drinks served. We shared a delicious mixed tandoori starter and followed it with a delicious Murgh Tikka Makhani and Keema rice. The whole experience was lovely. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Six of us visited Safar on a Friday night. We did book and they were great when we rang to say we would be delayed due to the weather. A first visit on recommendation of a friend. Great little restaurant with really nice staff and the food was delicious. Probably the best Indian I’ve had in a long time. Will definitely return.

Excellent food and service, with plenty of choice for vegetarians and gluten free. Don’t let the unlikely location on an industrial estate put you off. Also does takeaways. Best Indian meal I have ever had, and reasonably priced.

Food came out with a skin over the curry, so it looked like it had been left a while. Curries tasted nice but very little spice

We have been in twice in four days whilst on holiday. Ate too much because everything we ordered was delicious. The service is very, very good; efficient but not invasive. Reasonably priced food and drink. I just wish it was closer to home!
