Saffron in Dacorum

We had a delicious meal at Saffron. The starter was particularly good….Gobi Maunchurian, followed by Malaraj butter chicken whcih is the restaurants own special recipe with a nice little kick at the end of eating a succulent piece of chicken. My partner had Morisha which was recommended by front of house and did not fail to deliver as a more flavoursome option to a jalfrazi. The Naan bread was one of the best we’ve had….mushroom pilau rice and onion bhaji all washed down with an ice cold Cobra. This restaurant is also ideally located on the A5 for picking up a takeaway on your way home from work!!

I always rated the Safron as a quality restaurant, but under the new management it seems to have moved to a whole new level! The Chef has added a lot of new dishes to the menu, including some fusion recipes mixing Indian food with Thai/Chinese as well as all of the traditional fare. Our waiter was extremely helpful and knowledgeable of the menu and made some great recommendations. It was a lovely warm & welcoming atmosphere on the cold winter’s evening we visited. It’s well worth giving this place a try, I don’t think you will be disappointed!

Love this place. Has the best food and possibly the most condiments to come with poppadoms I've ever had in an Indian restaurant. Staff are so lovely too. I'd eat here every week if I could and possibly will. My only bad review would be only rating it the top 5 stars. This place deserves another 5. Magnificent

Come up st albans for work, 100% recommend, beautiful food and friendly staff couldn't of picked a better place for dinner!

Been coming here for so many years now! Always receive the best service from Abdul, he even knows my order off my heart- would highly recommend!!!

Lovely, friendly staff, food was great

Friendly staff, food was ontime for collection

Very late night takeaway this time. Food still fab. Tandoori chicken and onion bhajis were superb!

Delivery absolutely shocking! Took over an hour to deliver. Then the driver just sat outside. No phone call nothing. When we went to the car and asked why he’s not delivering it his response was ‘it’s raining’. Do you just deliver in dry weather??

I used to come here 20y back. Dedcided to pop in for takeaway... service and food on point. Just as i remembered

So good! The chicken was lovely and moist - hard to get with a take away curry. Would defo recommend

Slight change smaller portion for 2 people and ingredient texture different ok but not as previous

Absolutely delicious, as always.👌🏼 Thank you! 🙏🏼

Fab tandoori chicken, lovely onion bhaji, lovely prawn patia. All freshly prepared and very tasty 😄

Lovely food again! Lamb Karai was gorgeous.

Having used the other three takeaways in Markyate this is our first order from Saffron. Amazing!! Best vegetable curry I have ever eaten and the chicken korma was fresh and succulent. Our new favourite.

Lovely food, even though they forgot the puri for the prawn puri! Fab cauliflower bhaji , lovely onion rice. Yum!

Absolutely delicious meal tonight. 😃

Amazing food and service; it always is. Thanks to you all. J

Great food, was really impressed with the flavours. The chilli paneer had a good kick to out but not overpowering and very tasty for a starter. Surprised it was quiet for a Saturday, for how good the food is. Really good value for money - £60 for the two of us dining (drinks, poppadoms, starters, mains, sides,naan) Will definitely return in the near future and will be recommending.

first time ordering and certainly won't be the last. great food. great portions and absolutely delicious. chicken just melted in the mouth. made for a perfect end to my birthday 🎂

food still lovely and warm. from ordering to delivery about 1 hour. site said about 1hr 30 mins!

Lovely meal. Fab lamb bhuna. Nice balti and Nan. Very tasty!

Probably the best Methi chicken I have had .

Lovely food again. Delicious Lamb Rogon Josh. Really nice. We will defo Oder from Saffron again!

very tasty! will be back for more

Lovely meal again. Great lamb bhuna. Came super fast too. Very nice food.

1st order from here. Was very nice, arrived hot and will be ordering again.

Ordered from here loads of time but unfortunately this meal was not up to their usual standards. It’s had no flavour, the chicken was rubbery

Lovely food tonight. Tandoori chicken was superb! We will be back 😀

Absolutely delicious meal from Saffron again, tonight. Yum!

Early dining on a quiet Tues evening. Food nice and fresh, although a bit eclectic! Good value.

Absolutely delicious takeaway meal. Lovely lamb. We will be back!

It was all really good, and I don't mind it turning up early.

Order delivery time updated after order placed so added on an extra 25 mins. Rude staff at restaurant when called. Small portion sizes.

Amazing food and great quality with speedu delivery! Will definitely order again.

Had a night out with the lads . Fantastic food and great freindy staff make you feel really welcome. will be going again and will have take aways as well

Lovely meal, delivered on time nice and hot.

Lamb bhuna and sag alloo very poor. Nothing compared to restaurant quality

Nice tasty food. Delivered nice and hot by a very pleasant young man

Great food! It’s my second time here and both times I really enjoyed. Food comes quick and portions are really generous!

Good food and staff very helpful

Overpriced food items for the quantity. No value for money. Taste was not great. Regret placing this order.

Quality of food is not appropriate...u can't get the indian food taste there. We have tried a couple of dishes.. but non-of great or say good...its an average restaurant. Not recommended to others.

Jhalfrazi was nice, as was the Korma however the tikki masala sauce was like watered down tomato sauce and pretty tasteless which was a shame

Lovely food tonight. Nicely cooked lamb. Very tasty.😀

Very good food - was also early - 2nd time we ordered - first time was not so good -glad we tried them again

Very good dinner last night. Vastly improved since we've last visited

Random location, but food and service was excellent.

Order incorrect and quality not great! Such a shame as usually brilliant

The grub here is always incredibly good. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

My first order with Saffron & it was delicious! Good portion sizes, the lamb was plentiful & tender. Delivered within a reasonable time by a friendly driver.

Madras was very watery, drivers wouldn't come to my door

Couldn't recommend it enough. New favourite place

Very tasty food, piping hot, very polite delivery driver

Was a lovely wee restaurant . Food was delicious

Great food !! Great service…. Very happy 😃

Oh my gosh. Could this be my new favourite curry house? Having never been to or ordered from Saffron before, I decided to give it a go. The food was delicious, well seasoned and exactly what I wanted on a Friday evening.

Under new management, Saffron has certainly improved its dishes and flavours. Best tandoori mixed grill I have had in a long time. Everything was piping hot and presented beautifully. Highly recommend. Don't be put off by the look of the outside as inside you get a warm, friendly welcome and great food.

Boss & staff very good and kind.good and testy food wow love & like it.many many thanks.

So I was excited for a rare occasion with the wife child free. What a disappointment, raw chicken, flat and tasteless house special. I'm so lucky my wife is amazing, she made the night as always shimmering her assests! To be fair the service and the beer was good.

Been here many times. Always brilliant service. Food is delicious and I think the price is fair. The best thing about this restaurant always used to be the extensive pickle trays with 10/11 different pickles etc. This was always a highlight for us but they have stopped doing them and now it's just bog standard average quality pickles. Would love to see the deluxe version brought back and would be happy to pay more for better quality and choice.

wonderful restaurant, nice Indian food and a friendly owner. Will be coming back.

Great curry house, good selection of curries and the staff were very friendly. Cobra beer on tap which is good, and comfortable seating. The rice portion on the biryani was very generous, so avoid if you can only manage a small portion, and the curries we had were very mild so would suit those new to curries or who don't like spice. That being said we didn't order the hotter end of the menu so I'm sure they will crank the spice up if requested. Would recommend this and will go again if in the area.

Great food, great service and all at a great price. Recommend

Absolutely wonderful service, food and atmosphere. A brilliant establishment and freindly people. Will be returning!

What amazing service. My granddaughters had never been to an Indian Restaurant so we opted to try it out. The gentleman that served us was super he made them feel so comfortable and recommended what was good to eat. They did a show with a salad which was stunning in itself. All in all I cannot thank them enough for the amazing experience, worth every penny and we will be back.

Had a lovely meal last night, owner and staff always ready to help me and very friendly.

Not expensive. Good food. Service could be quicker, but hey at least that shows that the food is fresh. Very friendly staff. I would visit again.

Had another take away last night as last always great food I am in love with the house special dishes every time new dish new experience 👌 keep up the great service

The food quality and service is excellent. Would have loved to give them 5 star had we been offered a drinks menu. We ended up ordering a coke which was straight out of jumbo bottle with no gas for which they charge over £4. Definitely area of improvement for management, it's not that hard to offer a drinks menu or serve a decent can or glass bottle of coke.

Lovely food, great customer service. A*

really tasty food exactly how its should as an Indian cuisine. definitely will order again

Lovely food and a pleasant environment although the location on the A5 is slightly odd. Staff were attentive and the toilets were clean

Great Indian restaurant with good service, friendly staff and varied menu.

No proper seating at the restaurant. We ordered coffee and samosa. They tasted fine. I have added the picture of the place where we were seated. It was very difficult to drink coffee or eat samosa on such a low table.

Saffron was my local Indian Restaurant but I've moved away so don't get to go there as much as I used to. It's only by trying other restaurants I've come to realise just how special Saffron is. Excellent food and service and the beer is always icey cold too. I can't recommend highly enough.

After a zoo visit we were so hungry, decided to stop here, Food was amazing, everybody was so polite and welcoming! Really enjoyed it. Thank you

Lovely food and really hot as well (not as in spicy) ..service was good and friendly staff

Very much enjoyed my dinner at Saffron. The food was good, the plates hot and the service excellent. Nice environment with linen tablecloths. Sensitive Indian music in the background. Plenty of space to park out front.

I am afraid I was quite disappointed with the food that was served. The saag paneer was overcooked and the parathas were not professionally made. My friend was served flat coke. The first waitor was impatient with our order. Mentioned he would give us more time to decide on the order when actually my friends and our kids were already decided. He sent another waitor to serve us after a while who was nice and understanding. When he returned to put the food in the table, we tried to be friendly with him and did request for some more mints however, his hostility was very obvious. I feel we were not welcome at the restaurant. Compared to other restaurants which serves fantastic Indian food with great hospitality even when you are attending alone, I am afraid our experience at Saffron was disappointing.

Fantastic place. Used to be a 'little chef' re-purpossed to become the very best Indian Restaurant in the Dunstable / Markyate area. The staff are friendly, helpful, managed by Jay . The nicest fella you're ever likely to meet. We've been eating here for over 12 years. The food is fabulous 😋 and the range, variety of dishes is second to none. The chicken and lamb dishes are exquisite. The kema nan stuffed with mince meat is almost a meal on its own. They will also provide you with a doggy 🐕 Bag. Nothing beats a curry 🍛a day later. Hmm!!! Can definitely recommend the service, food and friendly atmosphere. 👌

Good Indian food in a nice restaurant.

Saffron’s the best Indian food 🥘. There keema rice 🍚 is the best recipes I have ever eat. So delicious 🤤. U all should try the keema rice. When here am guaranteed i will be full and still take away some home with me. Thx saffron for always make big-mama happy 😃 .

Very tasty food lovely environment. Perfect for party.

Usually I could find fault with any restaurant and believe me when I say I do, but not here, the staff were friendly the food was amazing they even cooked me my favourite dish which was not on the menu, the restaurant was busy so I expected delays but the food was served in great time and the flavours were perfect, this visit was a lads night out, well done Saffron see you next week with my family *****

The food quality and service is excellent. Both my boyfriend and I thoroughly enjoyed our meals and we had excelled service providing us with what we wanted there and then. Definitely would recommend coming here for a take away or an authentic Indian meal.

Fried rice called Biriyani. Plain curd at £2.95 is called Raitha. They call plain yogurt as Raitha .STAY AWAY.

Very welcoming. Great food and plenty of it. Very tasty and great value for money. Will definitely be eating here again.

My husband & I love it here. The food is incredible and the staff really make an effort to make it even more enjoyable. Definitely recommend.

Excellent food Excellent service

Top class cuisine fantastic staff

This place was always my favourite but this evening was an awful experience. Food was dry and the man answering the phone at the restaurant was very unhelpful and rude. Jay was as lovely as ever, I wish all the staff had his manners and integrity!!!

Very very good, probably the best Lamb Korma I have ever had.

It had good reviews on Google so I gave it a go. The food was great, really full of flavour and good portions. Would go again if in the area.

Food Top notch staff very pleasant great atmosphere.

Food lovely, service great, defo go back👍

Food was great, staff very friendly and helpful, interacted well with friends son, who has some additional needs. Environment tranquil and very clean. Recommend and look forward to returning soon.

Such friendly and helpful staff and the most delicious authentic food!

Fantastic food, friendly staff. Would go again if I lived locally.
