I live locally and decided on going here for a meal. I've eaten in hundreds of Indian restaurants and lived in Birmingham for 25 years. Have had take away from here before but thought we would try the eat in experience. We had pre-booked a table for 4 earlier in the day. First impressions from outside are not great. The place looks run down and unkept. To be honest the inside isn't any better. Not a picture on the wall, no music playing and cold. The place felt soulless. When we arrived at 7:30 there were two other tables of two. We ordered poppadoms and dips. These came after about 10 mins. We ordered our starters and mains next. These came after about 10 mins. The starters were nice and fair size portions. As we were half way through our starters a table of 19 came in. They had pre-ordered their food. So the wait for our mains was quite a long time. When the main dishes were nice but mine was a little tepid and the cheese naan was very greasy. The food presentation was good. While we were eating a member of staff was bringing big boxes of pre cooked poppadoms and other things through the restaurant to the kitchen which personally isn't very good practice. I decided before I left to use the toilets which was a big mistake. The toilets are really bad. Smell of urine. There is an open drain in the floor of the men's toilets which the urinals and basin empty into. To be honest they smelt worse than a festival toilet. Avoid using them if you can. Overall I was disappointed with the whole experience. The food was nice but everything else let the place down. No atmosphere,cold and dirty. I wouldn't recommend the eat in experience. Oh.. and it's cash only. Which in this modern age I can't quite work out why???

Had looked online for the opening hours and found them on the restaurants own website. Used the Web form to book two days in advance, showed up to the restaurant only to have a 'closed' sign on the door and amended hours stuck in the window. Despite booking, we were not told they wouldn't be open and have had no form of communication from the place, who have been unreachable by phone for three days.

Tonight was our first time having a takeaway from Saffron....EXCELLENT! We will be ordering again as our food was first-class from start to finish. Good portions and nice to have a dish that was actually filled with meat unlike some places that may allow 4 pieces of meat per portion and leave you with a sea of sauce instead. Support your local business and when stuck for something to eat then try the Saffron.

The takeaway menu sounds like the restaurant cares both about its food and its customers. Sadly, my first-hand experience bore no resemblance to that impression. I had to email twice before getting only a quick, one-line reponse that did not even begin to answer a clearly stated question regarding a small selection of specific dishes regarding allergies. Two further attempts at getting some more information failed. This despite the restaurant's statement that they can cater to dietary needs. Sadly, I never even got to the stage of actually ordering and sampling any of their food, which is disappointing because this was going to be a family treat. Feel very let down.

After what had been almost 18 months not having a take away from Saffron, Knighton, I walked in and was immediately welcomed by my first name. Brought a smile to my face! Friendly, warm and welcoming, Saffron also doesnât let you down when it comes to the food. 7 main dishes and 5 sides all tasted great, especially the King Prawn Exotic, a particular favourite. The team is always happy to chat and welcomes customer engagement. Recommend this restaurant highly. P

It is almost one year since I last visited and was disappointed on that occasion. It is my daughters favourite restaurant and whilst visiting her recently took her and her husband for a meal there. This visit was entirely different from the last. The staff were welcoming and the food was really good. The vegetable pathia was outstanding. Full of flavour and served as a big portion. The others really enjoyed the mains they chose.

Over priced. The food was ok but the Nan bread was as tough as old boots and had a job eating it and give up in the end. The price is extremely expensive considering we had only bought for two. Which was only two curry's, chips, poppadoms and a nan bread and it was ÂŁ35.00. So I won't be back unless they sort there pricing out.

We turned up on a rainy Thursday evening and were soon accommodated in the small dining room. Normal Indian menu with enough choices for the vegetarians in our party.

I do not understand what went wrong on my experience. Stayed up the road on Saturday 23 Feb. Prices good, poppadums fresh and starter was OK. I had lamb tikka. It wasn't as tender as i expected and a little bland but OK. Had Garlic Naan which was fresh and loads of garlic. However, the mains i can only describe as not being curry. I have eaten at loads of Indian restaurants and appreciate a range of dishes. However, nothing like this. I had the house special Hari Mirch chicken which is described as a hot curry. The chicken was alright and it had fresh green chillies but the sauce was an odd pale colour with zero spices and zero flavour, depth or texture. It was a bit like a non seasoned onion broth that had been quickly reheated. It was so so strange for a curry. My mate had a vegetable dhansak that was precisely same?!? The only reason i would go back is out of curiosity about whether there was a genuine mix up, or people in Knighton have never been to another Indian restaurant and don't know what curry is. I assume the former. I saw one other review that described the same thing re the sauce so i don't know. Perplexed.

Very poor food, everything tasted pre cooked, we ordered different curries but they were the same colour, smell and taste but the only difference was one was slightly hotter, the chicken was uniform squared with an unusual texture and not very hot. The rice was ok, the naan was stodgy. Very overpriced for what you got. We didnât eat very much and wouldnât go back.

We were renting a cottage in the town & ordered a takeaway for my son & friend. We were told 8.40pm but didnât actually get it until 9.20 but they did apologise and gave us a large bottle of coke. We said when we left we were coming back to eat in. We arrived back about 15 mins later and by that time all the takeaway people had gone and the restaurant was emptying. We had poppadoms, starters and mains which were all delicious. Total bill ÂŁ30 as they have no license so no alcohol to pay for. Staff were very friendly and would go again if in the area again

Worse curry ever. all of the dish's were bland, unseasoned, no depth of flavor, and contained very little meat, mostly runny sauce. they were off color too, like they had been diluted with milk. The naan breads were dry, and contained no substantial filling. The rices quite obviously hadnt had any salt added anywhere in the cooking process.

meal for 4 priced at ÂŁ35, cant go wrong. Very nice dishes, the Chicken Pathia was a little sweet for me, whilst I appreciate it is a sweet and sour dish, it was more sweet than sour, but still enjoyed it. The variety of nann breads we ordered were equally pleasant, although not being from the area, not aware of too much competition fro other restaurants, this would invariably bring the standard up to 5 out of 5. Would I visit again? Yes. There was a sign out side saying bring your own bottle, that's always nice to see!
