saffron in Rhondda Cynon Taf

Best Indian food in the area by a mile, always good, never had a bad meal from here, staff are very friendly 10/10

Great customer service, stunning food would definitely recommend

Always great food and selection. Tasted fresh and authentic

Huge choice of meals. Easy online order. Food ready for collection in no time. Super friendly staff. All of the dishes ordered were spot on. Really tasty and authentic. Huge portions… thankfully as was so delicious. Chicken Chat to die for! Ponty needs an Indian takeaway this good!

Just ordered food. The rice was actually the same shape as the cotton would not separate or clamped together Phone them up to complain. He ended up putting the phone down on me. Absolutely disgusting if the manager can have the strength and the mind to call me tomorrow and offer me my money back. I will be happy, but I will never order from there again.

Always amazing food. Best place in Pontypridd for miles and ive tried many places. The chicken tikka kebab is spot on and sauces are maxed with flavour. Only thing that could make this place better for me is if it did deliver. Pick up only but the estimated times given are quite spot on. Will be back again soon!

Ive had saffron takeaway on two occasions now. The food is hot and freshly prepared which are the plus points. The problem is everything seems to be caked in salt. Ive had two different curries and the taste of salt overwhelmed any other flavours in the curry. I gave it the benefit of the doubt first time but its obviously the way they cook their dishes.

Excellent food Excellent service

This place offers very tasty foods at reasonable price. Recomend any type of biriyani including vegitable bitiyani

Nothing special here to be found, your very average & basic take away. The lamb was too tough in starters & mains & even the salad accompaniment was not cut properly. Cost was very average. Meal overall was tasty but that tough lamb spoilt it for me. I'll not return in a hurry, they don't even deliver which would help them & other customers.

Awesome takeaway...food fab as always

Used saffron for the first time yesterday had a really good chat with the young lad serving really knows his stuff all the staff are so friendly and the vindaloo was absolutely stunning will definitely be back

Starters, mains & sides for 4 was over £90. The lamb was chewy. It tasted ok overall but that's as far as i'd say & there are better Indian take away places in/around Pontypridd.

I ordered a take away with yourselves on Wednesday for my husband birthday, we order with you a few times throughout the year for special occasions and have never had any issues with our food until Wednesday. I had chicken tikka masala and there was a funny taste to the sauce and chicken. Which I couldn't eat it. My husband had south Indian chilli chicken but there was no chili in it and very bland tasting. All the dishes were very poor and tasted old, even the popasoms were burnt. We all woke up the following morning with curry belly, something we have never had before with you. We are very disappointed with the quality of your dishes we had and have put us off from ordering again with you as we are worried with what we will receive next time. It's alot of money to pay for something that we cannot eat, we had previously really enjoyed the quality of your ingredients and cooking but this was quite easily one of the worst Indian take aways we ever had

I ordered today for the first time and will be ordering again. I had a cracking chicken vindaloo and the Mrs had a tikka masala with rice and naans. You can see the cooks doing your food. Only downside was we tried to order online but it didn’t work, it was all sorted over the phone.

I used to be a regular but we moved away. Popped in last light for a Naga curry and a paneer tikka jalfrezi. It was always great food, but it looks like they've upped their game again. I'd rate this over the Cinnamon Tree and the Juboraj restaurants and is deffo on par at least with Gateway of India in Rhiwbina, it's very very good quality food. Thinking about it it's significantly cheaper that GOI, so yeah... going elsewhere is simply pointless. Well done.

I'm a regular at Saffron and Friday I ordered online for the first time. It was straightforward and the food was ready on time and was clearly marked for me and the family. Quality of the food was 1st class. Cheers guys! Mike

We've ordered from Saffron a few times now and the food has always been outstanding. Good portion sizes, great flavour, always quick and the staff are friendly and helpful. Definitely some of the best curry I've ever had

Chicken tikka very watery,chips up to understand and rice very nice

Absolutely beautiful takeaway!! Food was incredible amd was well worth the price. Definately reccomend this one👌🏽

Awful. First time to try but never again. Expensive and inedible.

Haven't ordered from saffron for a few years and the food we order was amazing. Will definitely be back Thank you Saffron

Ordered food online at 18:30,told to collect at 20:10 at 21:10 we’re still sat waiting for food to be done….no apology nothing. Food may be great but service is diabolical

Fabulous food - very highly recommend this special Indian up market food - always freshly cooked with great friendly service

Firstly our £60+ order was missing 1 starter. The 2 of us found the lamb was tough/chewy. The sauces were as tasty as they should be as was the chicken but these 2 big fails merit a poor rating. It looks clean/tidy in there but i won't be returning in a hurry. We've only eaten from here twice (& i recall the last time wasn't very good either) because they don't deliver but there are better Indian take aways for sure.

I was recommended the Makhani chicken by Monsur and it did not disappoint. The food tasted amazing and the staff were very friendly too! I would highly recommend and will be back!

Food was amazing, so much flavour. Staff very friendly as well. Would definitely recommend to anyone! Drove from Birdgend for it and it did not disappoint. I will be back!

Fabulous Indian Takeaway lovely staff and Stunning Food definitely recommend.

It was really easy to use the online ordering system and the food was ready to collect within about 25 minutes. We ordered poppadoms, onion bahajis, vegetable samosa's, a king prawn biryani, butter chicken, pilau rice, chips and peshwari naan for around £30. The food was great value for money, delicious and freshly cooked. The portions were huge and we had plenty of left overs which we ate the next day. I would definitely recommend a visit, especially as it is such great value for money.

Really good quality and great selection of curries. Service is also very good with friendly service.

First one in months, as amazing as i remember fantastic and good value for money cheers guys

I ordered the Tarka Dal, SaaTikka and Naan. It was quick and easy to order online and the food was ready to collect within 20 minutes. All of the food was really tasty (not really creamy or sweet like some takeaway meals are) and it was really good value as well!

First time we have ordered from this place and the food was fantastic! Thanks guys will be ordering again 👍

First time we have ordered from this place, even though they were so busy, the food was amazing! Thanks guys will be ordering again 👍

What an amazing little place! They are ALWAYS prompt with the orders, and everything is made fresh. They even have an open kitchen so you can see the food being made (which I love). This is by far the best curry in Pontypridd! Since finding this little gem last year, I wouldn't go elsewhere. They are accommodating with allergies (gluten free) and everything tastes incredible. Thank you for everything you do!

Amazing food, friendly staff, always punctual. Well priced. They ALWAYS tell you the price before you leave the house over the phone. I have now unfortunately left Pontypridd, but I’m happy to carry out the drive to get food instead of going anywhere else!

I remember writing a review few months ago and I must say I had to again tonight. It was my daughters birthday and we chose Saffron for her birthday meal. When I called they told me the food will be ready within 25 minutes. When I arrived the food was ready to be collected. The food was absolutely delicious. My daughter said it was one of the best meal she had in a while which was a bonus especially on her birthday. I have been a regular in Saffron and I must say I have never been disappointed. Thank you for the amazing meal tonight and making my daughters birthday special.

Well, I'd put down a visit, since it was a quick one. In an out of the door in about 5 secons flat since the server told me to leave, since was ''scaring away the empty establishment and I'm bad for business''. Lol, bad judgment straight off without knowing me. I'm sure that not using your hair net scares people. Never mind, I'll be back...eventually

Phone orders are very quick, and the food is fantastic. Staff are very friendly and the menu is very well organised. Well worth a visit! (Oh, order a side of chips with whatever you get - the chips are amazing!)

Excellent meal but had to wait 15 mins to be cooked. But they do have everything fresh so can only be a good thing. The chips ere home made cut chips very crispy

Beautiful fresh ingredients cooked before you, excellent

Being a vegan, ordering out is a lot more difficult for me. However, this takeaway went the extra mile for me. The staff at the front went through all the items that will be suitable for me which I really appreciated. The food was full of flavour and was absolutely amazing. The whole experience was lovely and once again I thank the staff for being attentive and willing to help me with all my queries.

I ordered an Indian takeaway from Saffron tonight. Can honestly say it is one of the best meals I’ve had in a very long time. I ordered the Lamb Pathia and my wife ordered the Chicken Tikka Massala and both of the dishes had so much flavour in it. I was also impress with the service we received as our food was ready to collect within the estimated time given. Not always a person who writes reviews but I thought I had to on this occasion. Thank you for a great meal Saffron and will definitely recommend you to friends and family.

Ain't going to win any awards .. does what it says on the tin. It's a Indian/Bangladeshi takeaway that isn't very expensive and more than adequate for a chicken tikka Masala and half and half .

I had the "Saffron Balti" this evening which was absolutely delicious, probably the tastiest Indian food I've had in a very long time.

Have visited Saffron so many times for a takeaway. Have always had a lovely, quality meal and reasonably priced also. Staff at the desk are always friendly and welcoming. Would thoroughly recommend as the best Indian takeaway in the Pontypridd area.

The best jalfrezi in Ponty ! The curries are cooked right infront of you from fresh ingredients ! A1 curry house

We have never had a bad Indian takeaway from here. We ordered by phone and picked it up a short time later.. The staff are very friendly and the food was magnificent.. A family member is lactose intolerant so choosing and Indian takeaway is challenging, but here they are fantastic..

My absolute favourite Indian takeaway. I recommend the Chicken garlic chilli massala or the chicken tikka biriyani. And the naan breads are to die for!

Had our first takeaway from Saffron last night. I don't normally leave reviews but on this occasion I felt I needed to. Ordered via their website and the food was ready to collect within 20 minutes. We live around 5 - 10 minutes from Pontypridd but when my husband got home with the food it was still piping hot. Flavoursome dishes, not at all oily and excellent quality meat. The whole family agreed that it was the best Indian takeaway we have ever had and we will continue to order form Saffron in the future. Added bonus - nice staff :-)

The food is really excellent, but what makes this place is the attention to non-standard diets. They seem to get veganism and are more than willing to adapt dishes to suit. Highly recommended.

We decided to try Saffron back around May/June time, and we’ve had food from there every Friday since! My dad has always loved cooked Indian curries, and has spent years learning and teaching himself. He absolutely loves saffron, as do we all! The food is always of the highest standard, so tasty and the right amount of heat for separate dishes. We haven’t had one bad thing to say in months of eating from here, the staff are always friendly and welcoming and happy to help with anything. There’s not a lot on the menu that we haven’t tried between us, every curry is different, you can really taste the different spices in every dish. We are never waiting longer than what we’re told, We recommend to anyone that we can! Thank you saffron for such amazing service - compliments to the chef! (And the whole team)

I must write a review as to the saffron in ponty when people have a fantastic meal they perhaps won’t write a review to mention how good it actually was only writing a review as to a complaint with something they weren’t happy about. well after having a lamb passanda and a chicken jalfrezzi I defy anyone too find a better one this side of the Severn bridge absolutely amazing guys please carry on with what you’re doing taste is incredible the quality is out of this world thankyou and a well deserved good review a happy chappy. Always ready on time made our Saturday night

Great food here. Nice to be able to watch them cook. Staff are always friendly. Hoping they are doing their Halloween special as a good price.

Ordered a curry for me and my partner and it was wicked I find myself craving a nice tikka masala and you guys hit the spot it was sweet , kinda different to others more bland yours was sweet I liked it enough to want to come on here and write this give the chef my regards it was the best tikka masala I've ever had!

Fantastic Indian!! Always the first place we think of when we fancy a curry. The staff are brilliant and friendly! Best curry in Pontypridd by far! Try the kebab trays if your not looking for a big meal. (Naan bread wrapped around chicken tikka masala or curry of your choice if you ask the guys! Comes with a little salad and mint sauce.)

Este lugar después intentó una sugerencia de un amigo. Un poco escéptico al principio como normalmente no confía en nuevos lugares, pero sin duda me alegro comprobado. Estupenda comida ofrecida por un gran equipo. El director mismo vino a saludarme y preguntar cómo estaba todo. . Y ahora que no es algo que se puede esperar en todas partes!

Mejor Indio en Pontypridd! ! ! La comida es buenísima, preparado mientras observa. Siempre hay un +++ estándar. El personal siempre es amable y educado. Sin duda recomendaría comer aquí

Casa curry local mejor 💯 comida es una tontería en mi opinión. Soy un cliente frecuente. Sr. Ceri Curry es el pináculo para mí. Servicio de atención al cliente es en el punto y todos los platos llevan mucho sabor.

Conseguimos algunos poppadoms, pollo tandoori, naan y algunos de arroz. Toda la comida estaba bien preparada y me pareció que el servicio de atención al cliente era estupendo. Sin duda el fin de nuevo si estoy de regreso en la ciudad.

In my opinion this is the best Indian takeaway in town, the food is always on point and the service is always welcoming. Will be back next week

Food here is amazing and the customer service is way beyond helpful. They help with your preferences and make great conversation while ordering.

Had takeaway from this place twice, 1st meal was bland and tasteless..gave them another try a few months later...equally as bad. Ordered a madras, really not quite sure what I ended up with, it didn't have have any texture or spice.

Picked up a takeaway, probably the worst I've ever tasted. Spices not cooked through and tasted powdery. In the bin it went. Not much chicken either.

This is my favourite Indian take away in Pontypridd, if they delivered it would actually be the only Take Away in Pontypridd that I would (currently) use. Freshness is the key word here.The staff are always very friendly and are happy to suggest and tweak dishes for personal preference.However, it's great to pop in order the food wait in The Llanover for a pint or two and receive a TXT message when it's ready :)

Our local Indian, love it, food cooked in front of you, kitchens spotless and greet menu. Wish they did deliveries!

Good traditional curry, ordered starters and 2 curries, approximately 25 minute wait,Nice and polite staff and good to be able to see the chefs cooking.I would return when I am next in the area.

We wanted to try a different Indian takeaway from our usual and this was the perfect choice.Really tasty food,well packaged,and customer service was excellent. You can watch your food being prepared which is an extra bonus.

Food here is at a high standard, one of the best I have ever had in Pontypridd. Collection based only takeaway with a small waiting time and an open plan kitchen. From what I can see the kitchen looks really clean which puts me at ease. Watching the chef cook the meal is a plus point and adds to the Indian takeaway experience. Thank you saffron for your amazing food I will be back again.

Collection only takeaway which has its system set up perfectly. The process in this takeaway is so simple and effective. You simply order your food, they will tell you how long it will be and then you go and pick up your fresh hot food. Normally waiting time is between 15-30 min max depending on how busy it is, even on a Saturday night which is amazing. We order regularly from here and never had an issue with it. You can also see the food being prepared In Front of you which is unique because I haven't seen any other Indian takeaway with the same concept. Honestly even if the waiting time was an hour I would still wait because I rather have a good quality food than a rushed one. Give this a try and I guarantee you won't be disappointed. Keep up the amazing work guys

Had a takeaway from saffron last night .collection time was on time didn't have to wait for food it was ready .staff were very friendly .food was absolutely delicious no oil at all which is very plus point for me .will defo come back again .cheers guys

Found myself in Pontypridd for the evening and a friend recommended Saffron to me...turned out to be a great choice!I ordered Poppadoms, Chicken Biryani and Tandoori Chicken. Food was served quickly and stayed warm in the takeaway box, i.e. didn't need warming up when I got back. You could tell all the food was cooked well and the meat was of pretty decent quality for a takeaway place.Tandoori Chicken was definitely the highlight. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend!

Really enjoyed the food.Chicken was fresh and tender, i had asked to make curry a bit spicy and it was perfect.Will definitely order again.Well done saffron

After a busy day, decided on indian meal, not are regular take away.Ordered a Korma kebab, When I opened it at home, it was a sloppy tasteless mess, covering a equally tasteless chewy nann bread :/ No chunks of chicken, no salad. it was disgusting. We rang Saffron not for a replacement meal or refund, they were not interested, so well used to complaints. We wil l go elsewhere in future.

Had a takeaway from Saffron a few times now, and never had any problems food is always great. An amazing dish to try is the chatti potti very nice. Will be back soon.

Had a meal which I had frozen for a couple of months from here tonite..lovely..unlike the meal I had on Friday..same meat but it was awfully.tough to the point of inedible..anyone else had this experience from here.sad really as we use this place now and then.

I wonder whether this place has been taken over? Gone are the celebratory newspaper clippings from the wall, I didn't recognise any staff and the uniform was different. Having been taken over would certainly chime with the standard this time. Although the food was nice, the order was 20 minutes late, 2 out of 5 dishes included the wrong meat, and the meat portions seemed smaller than before. Time to find a different takeaway methinks.

We love this takeaway having tried other establishments we always return they are the best by far.Portions are generous but the quality ensures a throughly enjoyable meal.Your name is remembered when your a regular

My husband & I have been regular customers of Saffron for a few years now, and are continually impressed by the quality of their food. Coming from the North of England, my husband has long running experience of Indian cuisine and is difficult to impress; he has never had a meal from Saffron that hasn't met his exacting expectations, and they are always ready to customise a dish to someone's taste. I'm the boring one that always orders a Chicken Tikka Masala, but it's always full of flavour. I will admit that you will never have a dish that tastes exactly the same 2 times running as the taste will vary due to the chef who has cooked the meal that evening, but to me, that proves that the food is freshly prepared every time.

Always look forward to a Saffron takeaway. Good portion sizes too. Would recommend the mixed grill. Have been here loads of times and never had a bad meal.

yet again another great meal at this branch,saffron in pontypridd fresh quality meal.the flaming goan dish was sublime.thank you!

Truly amazing service no complaints, food on time as promised as well a friendly bubbly atmosphereFood is A class, cooked freshly which can be witnessed as they have a open plan kitchen Excellent food, excellent service, excellent happy customer surly be bak again, thank u saffron keep it up

My favourite Indian Takeaway, the kitchen is open panned so you can see the chefs cooking your meal. They a quick, polite and the food is excellent.

Very tasty meal, the food is cooked perfectly and is clearly of a high quality compared to other Indian take aways. It may cost a bit more than other places, but it's well worth it. Food is fresh and the spices are unbelievable. Pay the extra, eat quality.

Can't compare this to other local takeaways as I won't risk trying anywhere else. Great service, always on time and delicious fresh tasting dishes every time.

Have had takeaway Indians from Saffron a few times now and have always been pleased. The portions are a good size and the food all very tasty. Service is friendly and the kitchen always looks clean from what I can see. The only downside is it's a little bit more pricey than other Indians, but the quality of the food justifies this!

We tried the chicken bhoona and lamb jalfrezy with tarka dhall it was very tasty will be back soon.chef was friendly boss was smiling it made me feel good.

Fresh mix grill fresh chicken jalfrezzi steamed rice lovely onion bhaji and poppadoms with fresh chutney. Good service good food weldone saffron did it again enjoyed the meal thanks.

I used to love this place, the food was fresh amazing and plenty full, the service always top notch and attentive. Now however on my last few visits the food is just smothered in oil and tastes like something they would serve up in a weatherspoons on a bad day. The service has suffered as well (i think this is due to a change of staff) on my last two visits they forgot to add cans of coke to the order but charged me anyway and on my last visit when i went to collect the missing cans the chief just looked at me stupid and said wait there 2 minutes with a rather impatient tone. I waited only to be waved at from a distance and told to take my own cans from the fridge. Think i will give this place a miss for a good 6 months and see how it does.

Good food and excellent value for money as I find the portion sizes are easily big enough to share. Just wish they delivered.

Really enjoy The takeaway - could do with a delivery service though. Would definitely recommend as food is always very good.

very much enjoyed a takeaway from here last night,well done guys keep up the good work.Excellent meal.

Great service and food. Nice to see the pod being cooked while you wait in the open kitchen. delicious flavours recommend the Mackeral Mirchi, Chicken garlic chilli and Garlic Mussels. Absolutely divine!

Visited by saffron indian lots of times and always enjoyed the food. Visited today and the food Tasted awful. My chapatti tasted oily. Chicken in currys was dry and the massala sauce left a funny taste. The mint sauce had past its useby date (not labelled but being a chef I know when things aren't how they should be) over all very didisappointed. Wont rush back...

The food from here is amazing! One of the best Indians I've tasted! I'm not the best with spices but I could manage to eat this Indian it was to delicious to stop eating! Highly recommend this place I'll definitely be returning!

We have had quite a few takeaways from here now and the orders are always spot on.Food is high quality and delicious. Not local to us but well worth driving there they have never let us down. A*

I've never had anything but a great meal from the Saffron. Last night i ordered the chef's recommended meal for three.....great value, fantastic variety of dishes and all well cooked. 5* and faultless!!Highly Recommended :-)

We were recommended by friends you must try it and find out yourselves the quality of this establishment.Everything is healthy and fresh produce as certified by theyre gold award for healthy eating options amazing meal and portions well done to Saffron we will be back soon.

Visited Ponty over the weekend. The Saffron was recommended, so we thought we'd give it a try. I had a Bengal Shai Chicken madras hot. Lovely dish which is cooked with minced lamb, onions and spice. My daughters chicken tikka starter was a big portion with good quality chicken chunks. The onions seemed to have minced garlic and ginger - mmmmm. Very nice dish and very good for a takeaway. I had a sag aloo side which again was far bigger in size than normal and was spot on quality. Even the mushroom rice portions were bigger than usual.I'm looking forward to returning to Ponty soon - just to have another Saffron meal!

I ordered:Flamin' Goan Chicken: Had a good gentle heat, lots of flavour and great texture, chicken on the dry side but the sauce was very tasty.Pilau Rice: Great colourful rice cooked just right.Jalfrezi: Lived up to it's 2 chilli rating, quite hot, good for those who can handle it, personally I found it too hot but wouldn't have ordered a 2 chilli meal for that reason! However it did have a nice taste, like a hotter, more "grown up" version of a tikka massala.Keema Garlic Naan- A Bit soggy but possibly due to the garlic paste, but tasty enough and made with what seemed like kebab meat.I will be returning next time I fancy Indian food, the phone handler was friendly and the value for money was okay. I will only buy from here as a treat rather than when feeling lazy as it is slightly expensive. Could do with offering a student discount or *get free rice with 2 mains*- some offer of sorts as none currently exists.
