5 out of 5. Absolute amazing meal! Such a little gem that we stumbled upon on the way to Whipsnade Zoo and it did not disappoint! Everything was perfect, from papadums, starter, main and naan bread. We had the mixed kebab starter, the meat was amazing and melted in the mouth. The chicken tikka masala was 10/10, very sweet and tasty. Garlic naan was super soft and doughy. Service was lovely, very welcoming and happy to have a laugh. You need to go here!! 5⭐️s

Formally known as the Saffron and now under new management and name. The Malaraj is a true leader in Indian and Asian contemporary cuisine. I have been a frequent visitor for many years and every time I have been met with outstanding meals and exemplary service time and time again. I can strongly recommend this restaurant and try something a little different from the new menu. Thanks again.

Fabulous food. Lovely service. Such a nice place. Food cooked fresh and you are not hurried. Lamb dishes very tender. Will definitely be coming back.

I have as had my fiancé been going to the saffron for many years and always been very happy .. But the last two occasions were dreadful... The last visit we sat and waited to be seated for 20 mins in an almost empty restaurant while we watched people waitng to have their orders taken and the only person working was standing behind the bar drinking coke ... We in the end left and went elsewhere.. The time before that we did manage to get seated but then had very distracted service due to a huge row going on in the kitchen that was really loud .. This was always one of our favourite restaurants .. sadly after these visits we are not going to be returning

Went last night for the first time. The staff were welcoming and friendly. The food was outstanding. Beautifully cooked, fresh and tasty, good sized portions and we were very very happy with our meal. I would highly recommend this restaurant, we will definitely be back for more!

We went last Sunday for a get together it was absolutely delicious! Not only was the portion size massive but there was a great selection of vegetables and the flavour was fantastic.

We ordered curry from here and it was amazing. They delivered it quickly, they were really friendly at the door and even included a free dish along with a little hand written thank you note for ordereing with them. The customer experience is literally not notch, even when you order out. Highly recommend.

I had been to visit a friend who lives nearby and I asked him to suggest a local restaurant with BYO as I do like a glass of wine with my meal and prefer a wine that I know and select from many wine tastings. He did not come with us as he had a late and rather large lunch so it was only myself and an Indian lady friend. It was Sunday evening and at 7pm we were the only ones there. My first reaction was that it was rather more expensive than most Indian restaurants which we visit so we decided to skip the starters. They also add a 10% service charge which I do not greatly like as I usually give a higher tip but not when they add one. The portion size was at the smaller end of average. And with no starter we easily ate everything and did not leave anything to take home as we usually do. The dishes tasted as they should but were generally not very spicy and I guessed that was to please the generally English clientelle. Particularly the fish dhansak was really quite mild whereas most restaurants cook it as quite spicy at 3/5 of a vindaloo. It was nice to have the list of generic dishes including a fish option. The service was generally good and I am a little surprised at the several reviews mentioning bad service but then I had no need to engage in any complaints which perhaps they do not handle very well. During our visit only one other couple came into the restaurant which I found disappointing for a Sunday evening. So for me the BYOB would attract me to go back there again when I am next in the area.
