SAFFRON Authentic Indian Restaurant & Takeaway in Swale

What a lovely little surprise. I had been hankering for an Indian since arrival. I can't recall who advised this. We were the only people in at the time. I had the madras and I'll freely admit I could have licked the plate clean. Very good value for money.

Chicken Dhansak is the best I've ever had! Lovely staff & fantastic service

First time there very clean and well presented.

there was a nice spice with a bit of heat that u would expect from a medium curry. also tried the chicken chat puree for the first time! full of meat full of flavour usually have prawn puree which is just as good but this was also wonderful! nice to have choices. spice and heat that I don't get from most other indian takeaways

great service and great food as always.

Nearly 2 hours to deliver and food was cold.

High standards all round, from delivery to food and also the coconut ice cream is amazing.

absolutely delicious and a must if you are staying in leysdown. superb

We waited 2 hours. Which is fine but the chicken tikka wasn’t in our order. £5 which I won’t get back. Food we received was nice but not fair spending a lot on a take away and not receiving it all.

meal was very good and my lamb was super tender.

Food was sooo nice best curry ever! Very friendly staff, made us feel so welcome with a compliment shot as is was our mums birthday today who is heaven which made it even more nice, thank u so much

Delicious food. We don't have a curry that often and sometimes its a miss. This place is a hit. Next time I'm over I'm coming back. The food is great and the staff are very friendly and welcoming. Thank you for a lovely evening and yummy food.

excellent service and delicious food! highly recommend!

As usual the wait was worthwhile as the meal was truly excellent. Thankyou Saffron.

Ordered early to avoid any delays However Order was late, I enquired through just eat , was told half an hour then , rung up was told delivery driver was sent to Minster for a delivery , did apologise, Driver arrived but no apology from her , food was excellent just let down by delivery service tonight, - disappointed !

Always get a lovely meal here tasty and hot

Food is great, Great delivery service.

Best takeaway Indian.👈On the Isle of sheppy(fact) they don't make "out their above the customer". Excellence personified. Well done at last.✴️✴️✴️✴️✴️✴️PS. Saffron has new owners."is now open, best take away I've had in donkeys on this island, knowbody comes close".FACT..💯👍

food was amazing, lovely helpful staff and management

absolutely delicious. Will be back when next down

1st time trying hear and it was very good 👍

Very bland not enough spice in the biryani

Sad . To see a place go down hill .from the service to the place it’s self - minus not worth a dime should be closed down , more or less the same prices you would expect to pay in London , the quality was not to say old and over cooked food . I had found a black hair on the curry , the staff did not praise much to say . Me and my family always come cause of locality near to the holiday park . All the best the the staff . And just coincidentally went to a local shop and saw the place on the local papers and the owner has been charged for sexual assault on a minor . Good places do not last forever . I guess it’s the owners greed and hunger that made the place go down the drain

Amazing place food is out of this world staff are very friendly can't recommend this restaurant enough I'd give it a definite 10 out of 10

A great place to eat lovely food at great prices - staff welcoming and friendly Value for money - highly recommended xx

Fantastic food we order regularly

failed to deliver...had to collect but still took delivery fee..... i wont even bother about saying about next order

We are amazed for food quality and we are good price for vegetarian items

A .very good meal and the lady courier was a very nice and courteous person. Thankyou for a very nice meal.

Great food, excellent delivery.. definitely use again

Excellent food. Delivery services is brilliant. We ended up ordering twice during the weekend at our caravan park. Highly recommend. If you’re ordering from a caravan park they will call and meet you at reception.

Very good service and excellent food. Love it!!!!

We eat here quiet alot . Once again food was very nice service excellent as usual. Such a variety of dishes . We highly recommend Saffron best Indian restaurant ive dined in fir long time . 5 stars 🌟 all the way

We have visited restuarent with two family ( 4 adult and 4 kids). All enjoyed the food. It wasn't very spicy or oily. The food had good flavours. We order all vegetarian food such as vegetable briyani, plain naan, chana masala, veg jalfrezi. The service was slow may be because of Easter eve. We travelled from Swindon and staying in park holidays so we were pleasently surprised with good food in small place like Isle of Sheppey

Food was good as always and they kept us up to date with the late delivery so that wasn't and issue

Lovely food. Fresh and hot. Will order again

Again, great food and speedy delivery

Nearly 90mins late despite preordering before the restaurant opened. Was told the food was being bagged up and wasn’t delivered for a further 50mins. Free bottle of coke was the only compensation!

Great food, prompt service. 5 stars!

Really enjoyed our meal. Very tasty. Definitely order again

Ordered a balti. In there menu it say balti comes with a nan bread. As it should. When it arrived ( late) there was no nan bread. When I phoned them they said it was because it was a just eat order that's why they didn't send a nan. How mean is that? Proberly costs them pennys. So I will not be ordering from them again

Food was fairly nice. Ordered in the restaurant and it quickly became apparent the menu outside is showing old prices as it was about £5 more than it should have been for just 2 meals and 1 side. I later checked the JustEat app and found it would have been cheaper to order through that than in person which seems odd given they charge fees!

Perfect yet again! So tasty, great quality. Chicken chatt Puri starter was delicious

Good quality food and service excellent

Full of flavour. High quality ingredients. Will definitely order again

Our meal was really good. Definitely going to order from these guys again

Arrived later than expected. Food was amazing and well worth the wait. Just order 30 minutes before you would normally order. Masala is to die for. Delivery driver was polite and efficient.

Don't bother, if you want to spend £40 and get cold food and when you phone to complain their answer is "we can microwave it"!

At first when you walk in everything is new for the staff as they don't know what to expect from the customer,once you visit a few times the staff always remember you and will warm to you ,I love it

Best curry since we left London

You didn't deliver lemonade. Please bring lemonade.

very nice would highly recommend

The foods are really tasty but there is still fault in some dishes. We ordered garlic king prawns, masala aloo, Nan, rice and saffron tandoori mixed stater. We are very happy with garlic king prawns and Nan. Rice is a bit hard though and others are just okay. Decoration is a bit out of date too. Surprisingly, the prices are nearly the same as London. I would suggest that they could either redecorate the place with this price or adjust the price accordingly.

When it 1st opened, i didn't like this place it was bland... i can tell you now without a doubt it's one of the best iv had... great food

Lovely decent food would definitely recommend

The first time I've had a issue with these so gonnavgive them the benefit if doubt and try again, it was late and order was incorrect, (only the papadopoulos were wrong)

Forgot part of our order and we both now 11 hours later have both started vomiting and have diarrhoea

Food was good as always, delivery was late which is unusual. Normally on time or early.

Very nice meals. The only area it needs to improve is the restaurant decor

Was very impressed with the food very tasty and was ready on time for collecting. Staff very polite. Will definitely order again.

One of the best curry house about the food it's amazing the lady saying its the worst she's just a hater, truly the best curry about.

States delivered at 19:40 yet i had to ring the shop @ 20:00 as not arrived. Finally arrived at 20:15

Fab food, a bit of a delay but understandable as restaurant was very busy

Says foods been delivered but hasn’t, more than 10 minutes late

Delicious Desi and tandoori roti

The chicken tikka masala tasted very bland. The chicken portion was small. Rice was nice.

I order chicken shaslick which cost £11 what I receive was a tray with 6 small pieces of chicken no bigger then half a chicken nugget. I have had this before from other takeaways and disappointed with quality the chicken had no tandoori flavour and was dry. I also ordered masala sauce which again was not cheap and what came was a a bright red sauce that tasted like korma and had loads of coconut in it. The chips where also soft and wet and not crispy at all. Probably the worst Indian Iv ever had especially when it was not cheap food

Fantastic food great and friendly service very reasonably priced if u havnt been there before u decently should try it

Great food, delivery and size. Always pleased with their service.

Worst curry we've ever had! DO NOT ORDER FROM HERE. We eat a lot of Indian cuisine whether it's dining out, takeaway or cooking our own. And this is by far the WORST we have ever had. 1. All curries were bland. We had a butter chicken and a vindaloo and they were awful. 2. Our Dahl was slop! Just water and tasted burnt. 3. Lamb was chewy..obviously overcooked. Thought it was a cheap price so obviously that's because it tastes like rubbish. You need to invest in better ingredients and a better chef.

Had twice last week and both time it made me sick as a dog should have learnt from the first time 🤢

Absolutely delicious food. Would definitely use them again

Very tasty ,plenty of flavour ,nice size portions Highly recommended *****

Arrived to a warm welcome. Ordered vegetable byriani and a chicken passanda, food was excellent really fresh and hot, tasted really nice will return.

First time ordering and the food was good. Chips weren't the best but that isn't the main part of the food so minor detail.

Great service from ordering, delivery and the food was lovely- will definitely be ordering again - Thankyou

Lovely food. Very courteous delivery driver. Highly recommend

Absolutely beautiful food infact so beautiful we ordered the next night also

Very nice good . I’m not a massive fan of Indian takeaways but this one I’ve ordered from a couple of times. Alway lovely food.

Had a very tasty meal tonight. The staff were very attentive and service was great. Order a chapati you won't be disappointed😁 Highly recommend a visit.

Lovely food and service as always

Great flavour, chicken tough, on the cooler side.

Amazing food! Iv never had a bad meal from saffron always tastes great

Good value, tasty food, will definitely order from again.

The food was nice, but couldn't find the house.

Ordered our food for 18:20, this was confirmed by the restaurant, then it was delayed for 30 minutes. Then again for a further 30 minutes. This seems to happen every time from this restaurant. And we will not be ordering from there again. If we would have known it would be an hour late I would have gone somewhere else.

Always a favourite. Food is spot on. Prices average, not too expensive. Very relaxed atmosphere.

Great food. Great service. Highly recommended 👌

I’ve ordered from you a few times but last order was insulting and very low quality. It was quite obvious in my chicken passander was super market quality already cooked and sliced chicken!!!! I have photographed the evidence and it’s clearly the chicken tikka as I’ve quite often have bought it myself already cooked, coated for a quick chicken dish. Truly dissatisfied with this dish and quite honestly feel cheated, not only in price but your honesty in your dishes provided. May I say it grieves me to have to write this review but do hope you are more honest in the future to your supposedly freshly cooked dishes people spend their hard earns cash on and you provide what you promise.

Delivery time not good but food was amazing.

Never had a bad meal from here. One of the best Curry’s on the island

I’ve ordered 3 times from here now. Here’s a review of all the items I’ve ordered: Tarka Daal: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Very aromatic and just the perfect consistency Masala Daal: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A thicker kind of daal, very rich, aromatic and tasty. This is a secret item that one wasn’t on the menu; I was asked if I wanted a thicker kind of daal. Be sure to ask for it! Saag Aloo: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Perfect. Not oily like many other saag aloos. Chicken Phall: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Perfect ultra-spicy chicken dish Lamb Phall: ⭐️⭐️⭐️ This was nowhere near as spicy as the chicken Phall. Did they give me a vindaloo or madras by mistake?! Lamb biryani: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Very decent. Some might consider it a 5-star biryani, but I prefer it to be slightly spicier and slightly more aromatic. Chicken Tikka Biryani: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Same as above, with chicken tikka. Plain rice: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ It’s well cooked basmati rice, goes along well with the other items we ordered. I had a pint of Cobra beer while waiting for my food, which took about as long as I expected. The manager is a nice guy and we had a nice chat on Sunday when it was less busy. Would definitely come again. I did not expect to find this calibre of Indian food in such a remote part of the country!

The food was very nice but the delivery time was a joke and they missed off one of my items.

Food was bang average, collection time was over 45 minutes later than was told and got back to my caravan and had 3 items missing. Got given a bottle of Cobra for waiting so long but it was generally a hugely disappointing experience.

Food was ok in terms of taste, only warm upon arrival. The delivery driver was very apologetic which suggests good customer service. However, I'm more upset at the lack of contact over delay in delivery which lead to me having to contact the restaurant to find out where my food was. Had we been advised in advance, we would have been able to accept the delay in a more manageable manner. Again, food was tasty, but far from hot enough when it turned up. We ate it mainly due to being hungry

Tikka masala didn't taste right

Lovely food lovely service with a smile

Chicken was dry and wasn’t too sure about the luminous green mint sauce.

A biriani that’s meant to be lightly spice was far to spicy to eat more than a mouthful for both myself and my husband who loves spicy food!! Bombay aloo hardly any flavour and just say in 99 percent oil. The vegetable curry for the biriani was missing the vegetable oh unless u cou a potato in one and seeming nothing maybe bit green leaf in another

Best indian takeaway I've ever had
