Saffron in Derry

Food at this place is tatally blend, i am not going to say anybody to go there and have some. We were having biryani but it taste like we are eating pulao and the butter chicken tasted like chicken with tomato soup. It was a terrible experience. I have never ever had this kind of terrible food in my life.

Usually a great restaurant but the last few weeks we had arrived there had been a waitress with long blonde hair which she has constantly been swinging around the restaurant whilst I was eating my food. I felt very uncomfortable as it wasn’t tied back and I could see her playing with her hair up at the bar and then touching and serving customers.this hasn’t been the first time this has happened it has been multiple times and every time we arrive her hair is either down or tied up but the pony tail still swinging around. I think this is just unhygienic as there is food and drinks beening served to customers and I just think all hair should be tied back suitably in a restaurant. I just was not one bit happy as I wasn’t comfortable eating my food.

We would eat in the restaurant a good bit and we order lot and have been customers for a long time but the past two times we have ordered there had been issues. Two drinks were forgot the first time and we were told they would be sent up they were not sent. Tonight we ordered a chicken mardras and a prawn madras and waited 1 hour and 30 minutes and received a wrong order we were sent chicken vindaloo! When we rang up they send they could credit the account or send one up but it would be a while absolutely no rush to correct the order!! I feel like it will be a while before we're back or even order again

Fabulous food, cocktails and atmosphere! Excellent service and staff are professional and friendly. Owner took the time to go around and talk to customers, felt very welcome and can’t wait to go back.

Food is delicious in my opinion. The staff are usually nice, however I did get 2 people that spoke to me like they had their back up against the wall. It was clear that the staff I spoke to on this occassion didn't care for the business, their behaviour was apalling, I felt like they were acting like the moody children in high school that would deliberately act with a bad attitude to display to everyone that they mean business if you cross them like some kind of defence to intimidate people enough so no one bothers them, this is my impression from a phone call, all I've got to work with is their tone of voice and how they're choosing to speak to me, it wasn't even a lack of respect, it was like intentional disrespect, so weird to get 2 of the same kind of people being the face of the business behave in such a way, embarrassing. You would of thought I was asking them to do something they despise. It was really disappointing, especially when I only hear good things about the owners of this place. Most of the time though the staff are brilliant and the food is delicious. However my last experience has left a sour taste in my mouth. Would be 4 stars if this never happened, but things can improve so heres hoping.Value wise not the worst - bit pricey, but good food so I can look past it. In regards to the side portions, instead of getting an even number per item you get an odd one, no good when you're a couple. This can't be the first time this has been mentioned. Sometimes, (and i mean sometimes) the sides can be a bit burnt, doesn't bother me too much but for the price this shouldn't be the case.

I made an order for delivery, the man talking on the phone rushed the phone call I wasn’t finished saying my order and he interrupted me telling me how much it was and how long it would be, twice I got interrupted when I wasn’t finished. I asked for an extra samosa and onion bhaji in the portions, the man said ok but I feel like he wasn’t listening to me. He didn’t ask how i wanted to pay, it was very rushed. We are currently self isolating so I rang them back to pay by card and to go over the order and a girl picked up, her customer service wasn’t great at all she was very blunt. I asked her to repeat the order and she didn’t say about the extra samosa and onion bhaji so I asked her and she said hold on a minute, I could hear her saying in the background “I told her that”. She came back on the phone and said naw we don’t do that, I told her that the man I was chatting to 2 minutes before just told me that I could and I have ordered it like that before and paid extra and she said “well I don’t know who you were chatting to.” Shocked at how hostile she came across I didn’t know what to say and was really disappointed. I don’t care about the extra samosa and onion bhaji it was the awful customer service.

Our starters of onion bhjai was a bit spicy & the samosa was a bit bland.Mains of a chicken & a lamb biryani were delicious & packed with meat, both ample portions.Reasonably priced.Covid-19 restrictions applied ie hand sanitizers, table service only, visors worn by staff.

Tuvimos una buena comida aquí y nos sentamos arriba. Las fotos en el sitio web quizás crean la impresión de un interior más sofisticado (es un lugar agradable, pero no tan genial como las fotos pueden hacerte pensar), pero tenía una buena relación calidad-precio, comida sabrosa, con decente, si no muy cálida o Servicio amigable.

Fui a este restaurante anoche. Mi compañero había leído muchas críticas de antemano, algunas malas y obviamente algunas buenas, pero decidimos intentarlo de todos modos. No es la mejor comida, nos dieron poppadoms para comenzar que no pedimos (pero no nos quejamos), con algunas salsas en ollas muy pequeñas en un plato que era demasiado pequeño para sostenerlas. Luego comimos bhajis de cebolla para compartir, que sabían que podrían haberse cocinado por más tiempo, un poco empapados. Luego vinieron los de curry, estaban bien, pero tenían un sabor muy similar y como en un frasco. ! Mi socio odiaba el suyo. También se sirve en un tazón de cereal / sopa, con verduras limitadas también. Los cuencos estaban muy calientes, como si los hubieran calentado en el microondas. Cuando terminamos le dijimos a la mesera que recogió nuestros platos y sobras de comida nuestra opinión y creo que obtuvimos los bhajis gratis. No volvería, sin embargo, el personal fue muy agradable, aparte de ver a la camarera reírse con el resto del personal sobre nuestros comentarios sobre la comida en su camino de regreso a la cocina, lo cual me pareció de mala educación. Al final del día somos clientes, bueno ya no.

Precioso edificio, personal agradable. . . . Pedí un cordero Dopiaza, mi amigo un plato tandoori. . . La mía fue decepcionante, tibia. . . Muy pequeño y no hay nada que destacar, excepto la factura que, en mi opinión, era demasiado cara. A nadie le importa pagar por algo bueno, pero esto fue mediocre en el mejor de los casos. Y no es una Dopiaza como lo esperaba.Dos platos principales, dos bebidas y dos cafés. . . 46. 20 - Luke cálidas, pequeñas porciones que eran nada menos que pobres fue realmente decepcionante, vivimos y aprendemos.

Fuimos a Saffron la primera semana en que se alivió el cierre y se permitió la apertura de restaurantes. Saffron tenía desinfectante de manos en la entrada. Las mesas estaban a una distancia segura sin temor a ser invadidas. Nos sentimos realmente seguros. El gerente fue amable y acogedor. El personal fue excelente.La comida era increíble y las raciones eran enormes. Definitivamente regresaré

Had a tasty indian meal with family and friends. The staffs are friendly and helpful with the choice of selections. Nice atmosphere for family or couple date night. Naan is delicious!

Have been a real treat in this weird time - food is fabtastic as always and the service provided has been really polite, friendly and efficient even though its clear they are under pressure! And as said as always the food is a delight!

Ordene una comida para llevar aquí de vez en cuando y recientemente quería probar algo diferente en el menú, mientras ordenaba, otro teléfono sonaba de fondo y podía decir que la mujer estaba nerviosa porque no solo quería pedir A be & C y cuelgue. Le hice un par de preguntas diferentes sobre cosas que no había probado y estaba pensando en ordenar. Aún así, el otro teléfono siguió sonando fuerte en el fondo después de lo que no fueron más de 2 minutos, ella dijo "¿Podrías darte prisa, por favor, estamos ocupados? ". No es exactamente lo que yo llamaría la etiqueta del personal de recepción. Si esos son los niveles de estrés que puede soportar este lugar, contestar un teléfono mientras otro suena significa que eres brusco con tus clientes que pagan, creo que los clientes que pagan se convertirán en clientes EX, este sin duda lo ha hecho. Hay más de un restaurante indio y me gusta mi comida con una guarnición de arroz o naan, no una guarnición de actitud. Adiós.

Good vegetarian food served by professional and friendly staff. Location is really handy and the restaurant modern but comfortable. Portion size just right.

Prompt service and well mannered, food is excellent and always great with pint of cobra Staff are great.

El plato de inicio es genial. Para los platos principales uno estaba bien, el otro estaba mal. La comida no es auténtica para la India. El personal es muy agradable y tienen una buena lista de cervezas. Quizás la cocina estaba teniendo una mala noche, pero no recomendaría ni volvería!

I am of Indian descent and live in Detroit, MI, USA. The food at Saffron beats all the restaurants back home and the atmosphere is very vibrant. Highly recommend the Vegetable Pakora or the Onion Bhaji as starters and any of the main courses!

When entering the restraunt we did not receive a nice welcome but after asking if we could take a seat since no-one came near us, we were told that we should have booked and there would probably not be availability for us in the near empty restraunt. The lady then begrudgingly gave us a table and upon ordering, mockingly corrected our pronnounciation of everything, overall a very patronising experience. However our food was very good and was delivered by a very friendly and helpful young waitress.The menu was fairly easy to read but the king prawns were quite tough to eat. Overall it was a good first experience of Indian cuisine, pity about our initial first impression given by a rude member of staff.

Pedimos comida del menú para llevar y necesitábamos consultar con la persona por teléfono sobre las opciones veganas.Fueron muy serviciales y la comida estaba lista a tiempo cuando fuimos a recogerla (Cebolla Bhajis y Samosas Vegetales).La persona que entregó la comida fue encantadora, y me dio un menú con todas las opciones veganas marcadas, para referencia futura.No hace falta decir que la comida estaba deliciosa.

We have never been disappointed with the meals we have had in this restaurant. Its our go to Indian and the staff are always pleasant and helpful.

We had dinner here for two while at a conference at the Millennium Forum. Food was great, service terrific. Bathrooms were newly done with beautiful wood doors.

La comida era deliciosa, los entrantes llegaron rápidamente pero el principal tardó un poco ya que estaban ocupados, pero nos dieron 2 cervezas adicionales para disfrutar de nuestra espera. Definitivamente valió la pena la espera. A mucha comida, así que nos sobró y terminamos con arroz extra. No me puedo quejar de nada. Definitivamente.

Can’t fault this place at all the food was second to none and the service we received was excellent . Would highly recommend to everybody. Can’t wait to go back.

Although we live in Scotland, we always visit Saffron when we are in Derry. The food and service are always excellent and this visit was every bit as good as we've come to expect. I'd recommend this restaurant to anyone without a moments hesitation!

Food was tasty and delicious however, the madras was sadly not hot enough (that’s only my personal opinion though)

Very good and tastefull food . Nice friendly service. Quick. Various menu. Vegetarian, light dishes, hot or not hot. You can choose what hou want.

Primera vez aquí, encantador ambiente moderno y agradable personal. Poppadums llegó con, creo, comprados en tienda. Compañero ordenó bhajis, los cuales estaban secos y casi quemados. Encargo de gambas a la jalfrezi. Sin gambas (tienda Tesco al otro lado de la calle), pedí Lamb Keema, nunca la había probado antes, así que no estoy seguro de si debe estar quemado o no. El pollo jalfrezi no tenía el sabor esperado, siempre tiene jalfrezi. Dejamos la mayor parte de la comida y el servidor no preguntó si hubo un problema. Si quieres una comida realmente buena, recorre unos cientos de metros por Strand Road y encontrarás uno de los mejores restaurantes indios del noroeste.

This restaurant was recommended to us and it didn’t disappoint. The interior is modern and clean and the food was great. We arrive dearly and it filled up quickly so make a booking.

We've been here a couple of times on our trips to the city. It's more like a cafe than a restaurant. Food is good but there can be quite a wait to receive the dishes. Their Makhan is one of their specialities but I found it had a little too much perfume flavour for me and not enough butter. All the other dishes we've tried like chicken and fish pakora, dhansak, bhuna, veg masala and a couple of others I can't remember, are perfectly acceptable. They do low fat options and coeliac friendly dishes too. Most of the staff are very helpful.

We didn’t enjoy our meal at Saffron. A king prawn light dopiazza (£14.50 with rice) contained many prawns but they were quite tough and had a slight chemical taste - none eaten. The - v friendly, helpful - waitress offered an alternative - I asked for dhal which was nicely cooked but too salty. My husband’s lamb curry was rather tasteless and the sag aloo was over cooked. A veg curry and a paratha were the only acceptable dishes - the rice seemed old. We were also v surprised to discover that sides could only be ordered as a veg curry costing just under a tenner. We normally get three but weren’t going to pay close to 30 pounds. We asked if we could have two different 1/2 portion sides - no - why not, at these prices? We were offered them at takeaway prices but still £6-7 - £7.25 in fact - still pricey. Yes they come with rice but as the mains do too, this doesn’t help.We often eat at Indian restaurants and alas, Safrron was one of our worst experiences, especially at relatively high prices. It’s a nice place with good staff but the food leaves a great deal to be desired. Would not recommend

I don't normally eat, let alone ENJOY Indian food, but when I went to Saffron, the staff were really helpful and the menu was packed with tasty dishes.

food is great and the staff are pleasant,helpful and well mannered, highly recommend you try this place.

Outstanding service from we set foot through the door. Staff out of this world very helpful and knowledgable of menu. Staff recommendation of food was excellent and was greatly enjoyed by all. Food was exceptional, portion size perfect. The naan bread is the nicest I have ever tasted. Worth a visit if ever in Derry.

My partner and I have been to Saffron several times now and highly recommend it. We were there last night, it was so cosy coming in from the snow, the girl serving is always so friendly and offered us a choice of available seats. The young waiter serving us was also very efficient and helpful and of course the food was excellent as always. Great menu options with choice of light dishes, highly recommend the karahi ☺️

Any time I am in Derry this restaurant is a most.

Really attentive staff who check what you like and what you have had before and try to expand your horizons. Happy to feed you your comfort food and happy to help you learn more about Indian foods.

Excellent service, delicious food, delightful atmosphere. I highly recommend the tandoori mix starter and the chicken madras for main. The draft Cobra is crisp and refreshing, the perfect accompaniment to any curry.

Once again Suki and his brilliant team delivered an outstanding experience for a large group of friends and I. The food is the best Indian food in Northern Ireland in my opinion, and the personalised service which is friendly but professional is another reason that I always find this place just faultless. Thanks again, I’ll be back soon!

Fantastic service from staff. excellent meal and reasonable prices. Highly recommended. Great ambience.

Saffron is always my go to for Indian food. I got chicken pakora for a starter and there was plenty of chicken. I then went for a chicken madra which could have in my opinion been a little spicer but was still very yummy. Cocktails were lovely and we went on the meal deal day which is an added bonus.

He estado en el azafrán dos veces ahora. La primera visita fue realmente encantadora, tuve biryani de verduras y mt, mis amigos comieron mantequilla de pollo y pollo korma, pero es una espera extremadamente larga. La segunda visita tuve paneer mattar. Como un cocinero entusiasta, hago una muy buena paneer mattar, pero la que me sirvieron fue absolutamente sin sabor. Un color poco atractivo y paneer recocido. Cómo hacer un curry sin sabor No estoy seguro, pero me decepcionó mucho y, para ser sincero, probablemente no volveré.

Mi compañero y yo viajábamos al extranjero y visitábamos a un amigo que vive en Derry, en septiembre. Uno de los días de nuestro viaje, nos comprometimos en una visita turística. Esa noche nos detuvimos en Saffron para recoger comida para llevar, y nuestro amigo (¡por lo que pudimos ver, parecía ser un habitual allí!) Mencionó nuestras felices noticias. El propietario estaba extremadamente emocionado por nosotros, y generosamente nos ofreció una botella de vino para llevar a celebrar. Su amabilidad realmente nos conmovió, y la experiencia es una que recordaremos felizmente. Además de la cálida bienvenida, la comida era deliciosa y sin duda volveremos la próxima vez que visitemos.

Como un grupo de 21 amigos tuvimos una excelente comida en Saffron. Les habíamos hecho saber que veníamos y se las arreglaron para tomar los pedidos, servir los platos a la persona adecuada muy bien y en un lapso de tiempo cercano, lo que requiere mucha organización detrás de escena.

Teníamos amigos con nosotros y visitamos Londonderry para los eventos de Halloween que tienen lugar.

Really fancied a Friday night Indian and came across Saffron after our walk around the city walls. Service was spot on and the food was amazing! Best tikka massala and peshwari naan were the best I’ve eaten.

Thought the food and service were great. Only in Derry a week and went twice. Easygoing atmosphere, allowed to linger and chat,

We ate here last night it was very tasty and the menu was well priced. Service was good both waiters were very friendly. Overall lovely experience. Will defiantly be back

I have been to Saffron numerous times and had decided to get a takeaway order. The order was phoned in advance and was nearly £50 worth of food. I then travelled to the resteraunts to pick up the order only to be told that my order had been given away to someone else with an order under the same name. Which I find hard to believe as the store had been open for 25 minutes by this stage. As a result the order had to be remade from scratch and I have now been waiting for an hour. Maybe it's time for Clara to be retrained on how to give people the correct order. This is shocking service considering the amount of money that was spent. I advise anyone who wants to visit this establishment to sit in the resteraunt as the takeaway element is completely sub par.

Saffron is the best place in Derry to get very tasty food. They serve the best India food in Derry. Sometimes we would eat in the restaurant and sometimes we get a takeaway. Today we got a takeaway and it was delicious as always. Staff very friendly and service excellent.

I wouldn't be a massive Indian fan however we tried here for my birthday. My partner had the chicken pakora and I had the shish kebab to start. We then both had a korma for main (I had lamb and she had chicken). We received complimentary pompadoms as well. Service was fast and incredible value at just over £40 for 2 courses each + drinks. Well recommended and will probably return soon or even use their takeaway service. 5* experience!

This friendly and welcoming restaurant is different from many Indian restaurants we have visited. The dishes were beautifully and subtly spiced, redolent of the London based Dishoom. The portions were excellent and the breads superb in themselves. The service was prompt and very friendly, and the decor 'a cut above'. All in all, a great way to spend our evening in Derry. Thoroughly recommended.

As a plain eater I was apprehensive about trying Indian food but I had heard good things about Saffron so decided to give it a try. I recently went with my son and I was immediately impressed with the decor and friendly greeting at the restaurant. The menu has a lot of variety and our server Carla was very helpful in recommending a dish for me to try. I chose the Karahi and I was pleasantly surprised! I really enjoyed the whole meal and will definitely be back to try another dish in the near future. All the staff were very friendly and it was a very enjoyable evening overall.

I came here and had a very good meal. The spicing was good. I had chicken makhana with Nan and dahl. Service was a little slow but very happy with the meal

Had the most delicious Indian meal ever at saffron. Both my husband and i had starters and main course which were all delicious. The staff were so pleasant and helpful and the service was excellent. I don’t like too spicy and my husband likes extremely spicy both of which were catered for with no problems at all. Delicious meal in a relaxing tho buzzing atmosphere with excellent service. Thank you saffron!

A nice relaxing place to eat, excellent food and drink. Staff very welcoming and very reasonably priced. Will defiantly be back.

Booked table for 6pm ......got main courses at 7:35. Despite the time afforded ...meals came out wrong and one of the meals ( a bog standard lamb bhuna ) was inedible. Staff response " if you don't like it....you don't like it it". The point is, I ordered it because I actually do like lamb bhuna.....but not the bitter tasting sludge that was served here. Derry has a lot of really nice restaurants...try those instead.

My search for Indian food is Derry landed me here. Tried the Chicken Tikka Masala and Garlic Naan here and didn't like it at all. The gravy was sweet and Naan was extremely thick. The service and ambiance is nice but the food is overpriced and meh. This is not what Indian food tastes like and I don't mean the hot and spicy part. The Indian flavors were just missing.

Rang my order in for collection and was over priced for what I got,, mixed kebab on naan, £7.00 for little dried chicken and chicken madras chips and rice. I called to let the server no that it was not a mixed kebab and they hung the phone up on me. Over priced dried chicken,, any wonder why they gave us chilli and garlic sauce on the side. Won't be back

A good crowd of us including two English, one Irish and two Sikhs! South Indian influences mainly). We all enjoyed the food. Service a bit slow, but who cares! Couls hardly be bettered

We had dinner here yesterday. On arrival we were told a table would be around 15mins so we sat at the bar, 3 drinks and an hour later we got a table. Service was extremely poor. The owner was very rude also and the food was definitely not up to standard and way over priced. Will not be going back!

Service was good, although needed to make eye contact a few times to get the table cleared. Food did not really live up to expectations, very different tastes to what we are used to. Ordered Jalfrezi and it was so bland. We did tell the waiter but not sure if it will taken on board.

Was in for dinner on Saturday night, I got a gin fizz to start with , it was sooo good, then I ordered the lite option it was delicious as always. The garlic man is to die for. The service was very good ,the waiting staff are all very pleasant. Perfect

As usual, beautiful meal and gorgeous food. Great value too, well worth a visit. We eat in here fairly regularly and have never had a bad meal. Oh, and the house red is very tasty too 😉

Visited this restaurant on St Patrick’s Day evening. We hadn’t booked but rang ahead and was told that there was no issue in turning up - which we did. On arrival we were asked to sit at the bar which we did and duly had a drink. The restaurant wasn’t busy, but the staff didn’t seem interested in getting us seated or indeed in us generally ! When pressed - we were shown to a table which was fine, but then left again for 15 minutes before being asked if we were ready to order ! The food and wine was good - really good and very tasty - but the service continued to disappoint ! A real shame !

What a fantastic experience dining in this beautiful restaurant.

Tonight we decided to order an Indian takeaway from Saffron, Chicken Tikka, Tandoori Mix, rice, chips, the nicest sauce ever tasted Makkan sauce and Nan Bread. The food smelt divine but the rice, chips and Nan where all very cold not luk warm actually cold as was the makkan sauce, the Tandoori and Tikka were piping hot. We were told it would take 30 mins so it was collected within the time, we live not far from the takeaway a 5 min drive. Perhaps the rice, nan and makkan sauce should also be in foil containers as these hold the heat. We don’t expect to pay £30 for a takeaway to put in the microwave when it arrives. Disappointing but still tasty when reheated.

Love this restaurant. Great atmosphere. Lovely staff. Brill service. But above all the food was beautiful. Full of flavour.

Staff are lovely and friendly. Restaurant lacked a bit of amotosphere. The food was nice. I feel there was a lot of meat with little sauce. Service was a bit slow but Staff were aware of this and apologised a number of times advising they were understaffed that night. I would try again.

Visiting my daughter with her god parents,so came recommended.

Great food and lovely place to enjoy a meal. Lots of options and every dish tastes fresh and different. A proper authentic Indian restaurant. I particularly love the onion bhajis, the saag paneer and the lamb dansak.

I hired Saffron to cater the day after my wedding, in Donegal. I chose them as they make the best curry in the North West (and I know my curries!), and Suki managed everything beautifully. I literally did not have to worry about one detail, he contacted the venue and they organised everything between them. On the day itself, everything went so smoothly, the food was gorgeous (exactly what all the hungover people wanted), it was piping hot and plenty of it. I cannot recommend their curries and catering services more highly. This was last March, and I’m so sorry to the Saffron team for taking so long to write this!

Good Indian food and good service. Our son loved the korma, I had the lamb vindaloo. Our food came family style, so plan to share.

The only reason i give this 3 stars is because i thought the food was just "ok". Our servers were all very friendly, efficient and took time to describe the dishes. The restaurant is bright and has a lovely atmosphere..just a shame the food was so bland.

Quiet Thursday night.... plenty of free tables.

Ate at Saffron on Saturday night with my husband after we'd been to the cinema.

The food was out of this world so fresh and so much flavour! The only disappointment I would say for us was the service there was a few guys that were great then a few other members of staff that were a disappointment. Other than this we hope to return and hope we have an even better experience again you need to try this Indian food it is by far the best in Derry without a doubt!

Been to this place after tiresome drive along Atlantic... just got the right Indian taste though miles away. Great food and friendly staff.

We particularly sought out an Indian restaurant in Derry-Londonderry and this one was highly recommended by locals. We ordered only two main courses - and we were delighted with both of them. The staff were friendly and efficient. The restaurant was very busy and it was obvious that they had a clientele who returned time and again. We would definitely go again.

We had a very good Saturday night meal at Saffron. It's modern Indian cuisine and the space has a nice design and is very welcoming. It's located in a pretty central area of Derry and it's one of the bigger, non-pub restaurants that is open late.

Had a takeaway from here tonight. We've eaten in and had takeaways from here many times so we were really looking forward to it. It was a disappointment. I had the aloo jeera (Bombay potato to you an me). On previous visits it has been a beautifully bright flavour with a rich colour but tonight it was a pale flavourless mush. Having waited 30mins for it we assumed it was being made from fresh but you wouldn't have known that from the look or taste. Likewise the onion bhaji lacked any sort of spice hit, all I could taste was oil and they were so over cooked that they had gone completely dry inside. If we didn't live 15miles away I'd have returned the entire thing because at almost £12 (for aloo jeera, onion bhaji and plain nan) it was an expensive meal to bin.

My wife and I went here on Monday nite. It was totally empty at 6pm. We had two starters - veggie samosa and chiken shaslik. These were ok. We were supposed there were no free pappodoms. For main course we had 2 curries - lamb massala and Karachi chicken tikka. I have had alot of curries in different Indians and also had take aways from here many times. This was very poor, tasteless and spiceless. Both curries tasted exactly the same. I will not be going back

Have been eatting out of this place for years, can safely say i have never had a bad meal, both in the resturant and a takeaway meal, highly recommend this place you wont be disapointed, top class.

I had the most enjoyable dish I've had in such a long time, tasty, saucy and not oily. Karahi Chicken Tikka. Like the way that you get a choice rice or bread with each main ordered, so then the price isn't as steep as first appears. Not a great choice of vegetable dishes, but went for a Veg Korma (main) which will do plenty for a 2nd (leftover) meal.

Been to Saffron a few times but never left a review. Great menu on offer with choices of beef, chicken or lamb with most. Very friendly warm atmosphere in the place and the food is always amazing. It's definitely the best Indian restaurant in Derry and we'll worth a visit.

A must visit on your trip to Derry. Dishes a little milder to suit local taste , which means the Chicken Jalfrezi is just right for me. Same recipe for the last 25 years , and I hope they never change it.

We live in a city that does not have great Indian food, so to arrive on Londonderry and find this restaurant was so terrific. The menu had many dishes I was not familiar with and the staff was great at explaining the dishes. The food was fresh and prepared to order. We had a terrific meal.

This is our annual family visit from Dubai/UK, and our third visit to Saffron. It fails to disappoint, the food is totally tasty, staff friendly and helpful, and the price just right... cos my big brother paid ha ha. Thanks again Saffron

Despite living in Derry this was my first visit to Saffron. I recall it being the India House when it was situated on Carlisle Road, and my parents always had a good word to say about the restaurant.I visited on Saturday evening with my girlfriend and was very impressed. The staff were all very friendly, our order was taken promptly and the food was great.The menu is so expansive, there is plenty of different things to try. I will definitely be back again!

A curry here is well worth a try. Delicious food and definitely pay another visit if back in the city.The staff were very friendly and the food orders did not take long to arrive plus was not very expensive.

Good food,nice staff,plenty of tender cooked lamb.whats left over you can take away with you.would be nice if there was some Indian back ground music.monday and Tuesday are buy one get one at half price

Allways top quality from service too food, staff are really nice and always a parking spot on the street. 10/10

Delicious, delicately spiced meal in a comfortable modern restaurant. Had the £14.95 two course option which was very good value for money. Worth the short walk from the city centre and would definitely come here again when we next visit.

Delicious indian food in a modern atmosphere. The owner, Suki, and staff are very friendly and took great care of us. If you like spicy food, I would recommend Lamb Keema Peas.

We have been returning to the same Indian for over 25 years, they never fail to deliver on quality , it's so good

The food was well cooked. I liked the Roti and Daal Tadka. The staff was friendly. The curry were made fresh. Enjoyed the bollywood posters on the walls. Had a good time there. Highly recommended!

I went in not expecting anything authentic or good - but, had the best chicken dalfrezi (with a great ban) I have EVER had. Great, friendly service and ambience to boot. With a large glass of delicious White Zinfandel, the bill came to just over £18 (sans well deserved tip). Highly recommended.

Give it a miss,we had to Wait along time for not so good food,some staff unkempt,beer good.lack lustre atmosphere.

Had a beautiful meal in Saffron last night, staff were more than friendly and the place had a great atmosphere. We'll definitely be back for more!

Enjoyed a fab meal out with the family before our daughter returned to California after Christmas. The blond waitress (didn't catch her name ) was more than helpful as we had a vegan in the group was able to advise on choices. Highly recommend Saffron for great quality Indian food at a very reasonable price - will be returning.
