Saffron in Inverclyde

Looking for authentic Indian food? Then Saffron is a must-try! Nestled in a charming little village, the drive is absolutely worth it. Their lamb chops are perfectly cooked and sooo flavorful! And the prawn curry paired with garlic and coriander naan is truly exceptional. A delightful culinary experience!

We had our friends visiting from Luxembourg and again they asked to get dinner from Saffron! we all have dietary restrictions but we all managed to find dishes we could eat! Clean plates all round and we all loved the taste and quality of the dishes! We would recommend Saffron 100% and again 10/10 for taste and quality

3rd time having a Delivery from here, every time the food seems to get better. The food is authentic and the owners have done a very good job in keeping the consistency right. There’s no other Indian Restaurant around as good as this.

Decided to sit in the restaurant last night as a birthday treat! We were not disappointed! As a plain Jane who always has the same dishes we went for things outside our comfort zone!! To say we were delighted with the taste and quality is an understatement. Service, quality, food and great atmosphere 10/10. If you haven’t tried Saffron yet it is definitely worth a visit! You won’t be disappointed 😊

One of the place in Glasgow where we had delicious veg food. We had paneer curry, chana masala and dal tadka with nan and rice and it was yummy. Good place to spend with family or friends.

We recently dined at Saffron, and it was an experience worth sharing.The food was authentic and flavorful—especially the curries and Butter Naan, which were both excellent. The staff was friendly. Great value for money too! I’ll definitely be back.

Excellent quality although a bit pricey.

I took the family here tonight ( nine of us ).I had the lamb Kadahi and the usual bits and pieces . It was the best Indian meal I have tasted and I have travelled in India and eaten in the best Indian restaurants in Scotland . Prashant and his wonderful team continue to deliver . Paul Doherty

We have been going to Saffron for years, especially for big family dinners. The food and service are fantastic! Prahshant and Aman are so friendly and accommodating. Thank you for making our 4 week-old baby Leo so welcome for his first Saffron!

Delicious food and comfortable atmosphere, thanks!

A delicious evening with amazing service! Loved the butter chicken. Everything was great.

Gorgeous Indian food with lovely service. Subtle spicing, with real delicacy but packing heat where it needs to . The mackerel starter is a must have.

We had our cricket team's mid-season meet-up at Saffron. The place was nice, cosy and welcoming. The owners and the staff were very polite and ensured that everything was well prepared, their service was spot on through the evening. The food was fantastic, we had samosa chat and garlic chicken wings for starters which was lip-smackingly delicious. The main course consisted of chicken Tikka masala, dal makhani, paneer curry and garlic nans which were equally scrumptious. I would definitely recommend the place if you wish to enjoy some delicious Indian food with wonderful hospitality. Thank you Aman and the entire Saffron staff for hosting us :)

Wonderful original and authentic Indian food. Everything from starters to mains was cooked to perfection, thoroughly enjoyed their Chilli garlic chicken and fresh soft garlic naan. The best part was that none of the dishes had any artificial colours or excessive oils. Service was great and ambience very friendly. Must visit place, I would be going back for sure👍

I have visited this restaurant this month, first of all I reassured liked the surroundings, it’s built in a quiet nice location. Coming to food I had starters (Chicken wings and Veg chat) which tastes amazing, in main course I had Chicken curry, Panner, Daal, all the dishes served hot and taste was yummy. I really enjoyed the tenderness of both Chicken and Paneer. Worth to mention great hospitality by the owners of the restaurant and it felt like home. I would recommend to visit here and in future I will definitely be back to enjoy some more of their delicacies.

Best Indian food that you can have in and around Glasgow. We tried starters and chicken and paneer curries and food taste was top rate. Service is quick and staff is very polite and attentive. Highly recommended if looking for good Indian food.

I had an amazing dining experience at The Saffron Restaurant . The food was bursting with authentic Indian flavors with the perfectly spiced dishes. The garlic naan was fresh and buttery, the perfect companion to the flavorful dishes. The ambience was cozy, and the service was friendly and efficient. If you’re craving for a desi cuisine in Scotland, The Saffron Restaurant is a must-visit. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Celebrated our mid year party yesterday at saffron. Amazing atmosphere, tasty food and great service. Thank you Aman and team.

Having just moved to the village we were looking for somewhere to sit in and eat late in the evening. We bumped into a local who recommended the restaurant at The Saffron. We arrived near on 9pm on a Thursday night and were welcomed into the restaurant with no questions! The service was attentive and the food was delish! This meal was authentic, freshly cooked and a real delight. The fish starter was delicious and the lamb meat for the main was tender and of a high quality. There is no doubt in our mind we will be back to experience this restaurant again.

This was always fantastic but last nights food was grainy , tasteless and the chicken was a horrid texture . Has this place changed chef . SO disappointed

So disappointed. Chicken wasnt nice and sauce was bland and grainy . What has happened? Have you changed chef . Did NOT enjoy this

First time visit and I will be back, food and service was brilliant.

Saffron is the highlight of coming back to kilmacolm! I haven’t been able to find an Indian restaurant like this anywhere (even London and New York). Everything is delicious

Delightful meal, with absolutely fantastic service. All dishes were sensational and restaurant catered very well to our needs!

Sensational Indian food at a very reasonable price with excellent service. Lovely relaxed vibe, great value, friendly faces and quick service. Some of the best curry you can have. Don’t miss the Aloo Saag

Amazing service time. Great Indian food. Would recommend the Korma, Bhuna and Masala. Other options are available such as pizza.

Really great spot! Love the paneer and bhuna. So good we had it two nights in a row!

Ordered in advance a take away for 20 made up of various meals for 3. Delivered on time, hot and excellent quantity anf quality. Many thanks Graeme Ross

Excellent restaurant. They cater very well for any allergies you may have. Food is delicious

Excellent food, the best Indian restaurant in Inverclyde. Very friendly service.

An intimate gem. It may be a small restaurant but the food was very good. Fresh tasting and great flavours. Vegetable choices limited for someone like me who prefers vegetarian Indian dishes more than meat. However the server heard my comment and offered an off menu mixed vegetarian dish which was good. The channa dish from the menu was also very good. Would recommend this restaurant and will return.

Amazing food. Authentic Indian taste. Very friendly service. Recommended.

Had dinner at this amazing restaurant. Food was simply awesome , mouth watering flavours and freshness in each bite . Staff are so friendly and warm which adds further delight to this place . I highly recommend it and will obviously go again to try their other delicacies . Keep up the good work to team saffron

Fantastic place. Take away normally but have sat in a few times. Food even better as it comes straight from the kitchen and piping hot.

Spiced haddock starter excellent. Prawn starter also superb. Lamb Rogan Josh and lamb korma both very good. Pashwari naan and saffron rice very good. Great to hear staying in Kilmacolm

Truly one of the best Indian dinners we have had! Would highly recommend! Food was faultless and super friendly and helpful service. The chicken bhuna, pakora and naan bread were sublime. Well worth the short drive from Gleddoch hotel. We will definitely come again next time we are close by!

Amazing food, Amazing service by the owner himself. One of the best Indian restaurants in Scotland and maybe the UK. If you love Indian food, its worthwhile taking a small detour to enjoy the food here! A Must Try!!

Really poor carryout meal tonight. Came within 30 min so expected it to be hot and fresh. Fish pakora was lukewarm, very salty and consisted of 5 pieces in a small greasy paper bag with a couple of bits of onion, no salad. Did not get the extra sauce we ordered. Popadoms tasted like they had been fried in rancid oil. Spiced onions lovely. Garlic naan did not taste of garlic at all. Main courses and rice were nice enough. Not nearly worth the £40 we spent. I fed this back to the owner using the feature on their app but sadly no response. Will not be using (or recommending) again

Fantastic food. We booked for 9 people and everyone loved it. Authentic Indian taste.

The food is exceptional and service always friendly and efficient. We are lucky to have this great wee place in our village and we visit on a regular basis The monkfish Malibar is to die for and the pakoras are excellent but honestly I have not had anything but delicious food anytime I’ve been

I have visited 3 times so far. Food assortment is much smaller than the large curry houses but the quality and flavour is superb. Without doubt my favourite curry house in the West of Scotland. Worth travelling for.

We have friends over visiting from Luxembourg and decided to treat them to a Saffron take away meal and again it didn't disappoint. 11 of us with all different requests were treated to a banquet. Clean plates and full tummies after our tasty meal. We would definitely recommend anyone to try this restaurant as it caters for everyone!

We visited here as a group of 5 for a meal booking at 5:30pm and were the only table in initially. By the time we left the place was full. Small menu which I like as everything is fresh. We all had a different dish and everyone raved about their choice. Would recommend and will now also try the takeaway service offered next door. Fresh great food at an affordable price. Service was also very good.

Fast efficient and food was amazing. Large order, correctly delivered and bang on stated time. Comprehensive menu to suit all tastes

We had curries for 17 people delivered last night, and the food was absolutely delicious, as always. Thank you to Prashant and team Saffron.

We were recommended this take away by a friend and we were over the moon by food and the staff 5✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️ we'll be back thank you guys

Use this restaurant frequently, staff always pleasant , food always fresh and tasty, prices fair.

Another fantastic meal at Saffron!! Food was absolutely delicious & great wine too!! So lucky to have this little gem in our village.

I'd heard such good things about the takeaway from Saffron, looked forward to trying it tonight, and in the end was so disappointed with the food! I've given 2 stars because my son and partner felt their lamb and chicken dishes were edible at least. I had a vegetable kadahi- it was dry, had a powdery texture and the vegetables were so undercooked they were almost raw. After a few bites I threw it in the bin. Will not be back.

Wonderful place with great ambience. Food is so yummy and mouth watering that we weren't able to stop. Had hot Indian food after so many days. We ve ordered Dal tadka and kadhai paneer and it was really good. Nice place to have Indian food.

We have been using the guys at Saffron for many year but having moved village, we haven’t been for a while. We picked up a Tandoori Mixed grill last night and we were blown away by the favours. Even the chips were superb and chips don’t like travelling! Proper cuisine. The sit in is outstanding also, the Monkfish curry has always been a lasting memory for me. Give it a try, it’s worth the travelling or phone call!

Excellent tasting food and reasonably priced.

Outstanding fresh delicious food. Beautifully cooked a genuine taste of India. Creative use of paneer. First class service.will be back. Thank you.

Food was great , good choice for anyone in the hunt for a kebab or a pizza. Been my go to local take away for a while now. Highly recommend.

Just picked up a chicken and donner kebeb. I can safely say its the worst I have ever had. Boring, cold, dry chicken, sodden salad in a dry nan. Not worth a penny. We usually have tea time special and never disappointed. Thought we would try something else. It is disgusting and going in the bin. Next time I'll the king nan supreme from the Kebana Linwood. Very disappointed

Just collect a chicken and donner kebab. Worst ever!!! Dry chicken, dry donner meat in a very thin nan Everything was cold, salad was dripping water and 1 small sauce for all that. No colour. Dull and boring, tasteless food. Usually get tea time special but thought we would try something else. It was disgusting and straight in the bin. Not worth £12 at all. Next time back to Kebana Linwood for King nan supreme

Another sensational meal in the restaurant last night. Fresh and so flavourful. We are so lucky to have this on our doorstep.

We had our first meal from Saffron this weekend having just moved to the area. We ordered online from Saffrons website which works brilliantly and you are updated on the stages of your order and emailed when it’s ready. The staff are so helpful and friendly on collection and, most importantly, the food was stunning! My husband and I shared the butter chicken with rice and a coriander and garlic naan (amazing flavours) and we ordered a pizza for my son. I am already deciding what our order will be for next weekend! Thanks for a brilliant experience Team Saffron! x

Excellent service and food. Highly recommended.

I have been eating from Saffron for a number of years now. It would be very difficult to find a restaurant with the same quality of food and price. I would certainly recommend to anyone to try you certainly will not be disappointed.

Kilmacolm is so very lucky to have this most superb restaurant and take away. I simply cannot think we have had better Indian cuisine anywhere. We had the King Prawn Malabari and the Monkfish Tikka Masala. Both sauces are absolutely fantastic and the monkfish was just outstandingly good. Thank you Saffron.

Always good service , great food and flexible house . Staff polite and amazing food and portions .

We had our first takeout from Saffron delivered last night. It was delicious, very fresh and tasty. We had the Chicken Tikka Masala, Dansak and Jalfrezi and various sides. The garlic naan was very garlicky, which we loved. Looking forward to trying different curries in the new year!

Excellent food and Takeaway service from modest premises.

Excellent gluten free and dairy free selection with attentive staff

Never had anything other than excellent food from here. Sauces and meat dishes are freshly made and full of flavour. Portion sizes are good too. Will be back to try the restaurant soon.

The food here is excellent. Its the takeaways I get and I've never had better Indian. Dishes contain proper skewered chunks of lean meat rather than over-boiled prepepared rubbish other places in the area serve up. Sauces are always cooked to perfection.

Had another takeaway last night. We had the meal for 2. Food was fantastic as usual. Staff are great.

First visit in over a year and did not disappoint. The food is consistently excellent - fresh and full of flavour. Service is friendly and quick. New menu is lovely - especially the monkfish main. Small inside but don’t let that put you off.

What a tremendous family outing. Saffron is always great but their new, pared-down menu is still fantastic and the atmosphere was great. Really authentic dishes, large portions and excellent service - a definite asset to the. Ullage.

excellent food which is always awaiting pick up when pre ordered by phone very good value especially the tea time spec ial

Very authentic Indian food. Delicious ,unusual and appropriate portion size . Best curry and side dishes we have ever had .

Fantastic to have you back open - great food, as always and even for the first night, the menu was superb and really authentic. Huge portion as well!

Outstanding customer service and best curry other than ones i had in India.Thank you.

Great value food and nice helpful staff

Consistently good curries , excellent service and delivery . We have used Saffron for many years and have certainly used their delivery service during the pandemic.

Food delicious and amazing service

We regularly call into Saffron for a take-away Friday pm curry and find the staff friendly and quick to get our order ready.You cannot enjoy a proper curry without accompanying naan breads and Peshwari naan and their tandoori oven gets the right results every time. You can't bake a nan without a purpose built oven and theirs is excellent.

I’ve had carry out from Safffron twice and it’s been delish both times! Our favorite place to carry out a curry is in Glasgow, but we live in Bishopton so it is quite a hike to go regularly (although worth it)... anyway, we are really glad to now discover Safffron because we love a carry out and this place is the best I’ve had anywhere in the nearby area. We will surely be back very regularly! Great meal deals as well! Affordable for a large family!

Have enjoyed quite a number of excellent take-aways. in particular, fish pakora always delicately cooked. On 24/05/2020 had a very disappointing take-away...Chicken Tikka well overcooked and dry, fish pakora soggy. Chef's night off? Will not judge on one bad experience, however, so will try again.

Delicious food fantastic service

Never had a bad curry from Saffron any time we’ve tried to eat in it’s booked out that has to say something! Wast so keen on the pizzas but the korma, tikka and the pakora are spot on comfort food.

Really enjoyed our return visit to saffron. Lovely , fresh & tasty food. Booking a must as it's such a small place.

Fabulous food and friendly staff! Haven't been here for ages so had forgotten just how good the food is here. Really lucky that I live so close to it. I'm vegetarian and there's lots of choice.

We have been to this restaurant and take away a number of times and have been happy with the quality and taste. On our last visit everyone's (1 veggie, 2 meat eaters) food was overly salty across each course that has led to us being reluctant to return for either take away or a dining experience for a while.

Always busy and always good. We regularly get a takeaway from Saffron but even when we phone our order ahead we still have to wait, it's that good...

First time visit. Really enjoyable meal, friendly staff. Try the Classic lamb curry.

Excellent food, got takeout.. took about 20 minutes.. got a nice glass of wine across the village green at the wine bar 😆

Been to this lovely Indian restaurant numerous times and cannot recommend it enough. Staff are wonderful, atmosphere is cosy with good music and the food is delicious - definitely deserves 5 stars. I cannot wait for an opportunity to return as it is one of my favourites. Make sure to book in advance as it is a fairly small restaurant and is popular with the locals.

Highly recommended India Restaurant, very small so make sure you book, or you can take away.

Very small but very special Indian Restaurant in village with comprehensive takeaway next door. Food is beautifully cooked and presented in modern style by its young and friendly staff.

We have used Saffron for takeaway food for years but decided to sit in the restaurant for a change. Two adults, two kids. Three starters, two main courses, a small pizza and an even smaller supposed to be large chicken kebab. Two glasses of wine and two soft drinks. £90!!!! The food was tasty but the portion size is really really poor. Both lamb dishes had 4 pieces of lamb. I had asked for a large chicken kebab. Five small pieces of chicken. I had to ask for dinner meat on the side.We won't sit in again and wouldn't recommend you to sit in if you are hungry. Very overpriced for the portion size so sorry, because I really rate the food, but as a sit in meal, it's three stars. We'll stick to takeaway in future.

The experience at this place is poor , very poor , food is overpriced and it’s not even fresh , plus the food I got was just thrown there , chicken was not fresh at all . Staff are a bit ignorant and cocky avoid this place at all cost !!!

We visit Saffron periodically and it is generally quite good.On this occasion the food was just ok, not the usual culinary delight we have come to expect.What spoiled the evening for us was the oppressive heat coming from a fan heater on the wall.The place, although small, does require heating but this kind of heating meant it was difficult to breathe.Friends who have visited separately have the same complaint.We will think twice about returning until this has been remedied.

The menu is still great - all the usual favourites, well cooked and served in a great, informal atmosphere. Small, but perfectly formed! This is a great curry house.

food and service is amazing ... highly recommended..found this wee place by accident last year,and its become our favourite place to eat,ideal for nice relaxing meal,they also do takeaways . if your too busy to go out but still want amazing food.

Been a few times and always look forward to returning, this place takes indian food to the next level. The place is intimate and holds aroind 20 people, the staff are very friendly, and prices are reasonable. I don't think there is a better place on the local area. I love the smoked chicken tikka starter, the sauce is very unusual but goes well with the tradition indian favourite

Great place first class service very intimate & food was outstanding

We’ve had takeout from saffron lots of times over the years although it was more often when we lived in Kilmacolm and the food is pretty much always lovely, got a delivery to Houston snd food was as usual lovely but i was a bit shocked at paying £3:50 for delivery, normally I would give delivery person a tip but not when their getting that for delivery, oh and if your looking for delivery drivers keep me in mind n I could probably give up my day job
