Saffron Club in Lewisham

Everything was great, both the environment and the coffee. The staff were really kind, especially Parya. I will definitely recommend it to my friends

Nydelig mat. Vi spiste Tikka Masala og nanbrød. Mye mat og god service. Tok litt lang tid før vi fikk mat, det trekker ned litt ( ca 45 min)

We’ve been coming to Saffron Club and ordering take away from here for years now. It’s by far my favourite Indian restaurant. I’ve been to both India and Nepal and the food is on par with the local cuisine there. Really good for a vegetarian as well as their paneer and dal makhani is my favourite. So delicious. The staff are super friendly as well. Will come back for years to come.

Had been recommended Saffron and as seafood lovers booked for our anniversary. The Nepalese menu offers many dishes you don’t get elsewhere especially fish and the tastes are delicious. A small restaurant with very attentive staff, tasty and different and will definitely be returning

Found this restaurant on foot looking for a takeaway, people were very friendly. Served a pint whilst waiting for food. The food was absolutely top notch fresh garlic, very tender flavourful lamb. Lamb samosas for starters packed with meat. Lamb sag paneer dansak with garlic rice, garlic pash coriander naan. Well done guys, very happy customers

Double the price of most Indian restaurants - inexperienced staff - Nepalese manger ... more of a sausage factory - at twice the price of regular Indian restaurants

We were staying at a local hotel due to an emergency at home. So after a long day, we were ravenous. We found this little gem locally and decided to give it a go, and it was such a pleasure! It looked rather busy from the outside, however staff quickly seated us and provided us with popadoms and drinks rather promptly (we visited on a Monday at 8pm). The food was fantastic! Portion size was perfect, and everything tasted fresh and delicious! It was traditional Indian cuisine but without the tonnes of oil cheap takeaways usually send, and with great meat:sauce ratio. The service was fantastic, the gents were lovely and really made an effort with our fussy 4 year old. She managed more than her usual 4 mouthfuls and they kindly gave her a chocolate for the achievement. Our only complaint would be the drinks were quite pricey for what they were, £2.95 for a can of Coke, but other than that we couldn’t fault it. If we ever find ourselves in the local area again, we will happily return!

I had a very disappointing meal here tonight - the Meat Thali was bland, tasteless and the chicken and lamb curries tasted exactly the same! the Raita was thick and cloying and the Dhal, no better than a poor street takeaway, the difference being that I was charged £14.95! Avoid this place - there so many better places to enjoy Indian food cooked with taste, imagination and flair....

One of the best curries I have ever eaten! So much better than the usual standard menus that a lot of restaurants have. Can’t go wrong with Nepali food in my experience mind. We only had vegi - so can’t comment on the meat choices - but the Thali was amazing. We had ours spiced up. Dumplings for starters shouldn’t be missed either. Fab!

What a pleasure to enjoy the food at Saffron Club. Dishes made from scratch which really shows with the flavours. Our favourite curry house in Blackheath (Taste of Raj a close second). P.S under new mgmt in 2020 so please disregard earlier poor reviews.

Nice to see back to good quality food. Probably one of the best in the area. Can’t fault the food or service. 4 stars purely because it’s got a tad bit expensive, starting to spend £75 -£95 for a curry for 2 with a few beers and starters however you can’t knock the taste and favours.

Dropped by on friday eve, the staff escorted us to a table. The restaurant took our details as part of the test and trace scheme; all staff were in a masks and the tables were at distance. We decided to go veg and ordered - dal makhani, chana masala and aubergine bharta along with garlic naan. I must say the food was delicious, fresh and piping hot - a delight along with a bottle of kingfisher beer. The naan was one of the best I've ever had - absolutely soft and melt in the mouth! Would definitely recommend.

My boyfriend and I visited last night for the first time and it was amazing! The staff were so friendly and went above and beyond. My boyfriend asked for the spiciest curry they had and they made us something off money to cater to his request! He said it was the best curry he’d ever had. The rest of the food was amazing too and we will definitely be back! Thank you so much for having us Saffron Club.

Saffron club Ii order a curry last Saturday the curry was very bad not atast look like a dog food I ever have lseen curry like these have you changes you chef I

The best takeaway curry in the Greenwich area. Thanks guys!

The food is OK. Not the best but equally not the worse. Service is Good. Parking is tricky although available near the station.

Disappointed with the curries Chunks of meat with no taste, texture or flavour Heating a frozen M&S curry would have been more flavoursome Will keep away

Always exceptional good and service

Best Indian in the area, so much taste, great portion size And just brilliant food!

Portion size was huge, plenty of biryani left over for next night’s dinner. No flavour to the vegetable curry sauce it came with though and the “King Prawns” were tiny, not King-sized at all. Peshwari naan was decent. Food came very quickly. Delivery driver was very friendly.

Fabulous vegetarian food. We really enjoyed it.

Went there last Friday and had a really tasty meal. Ordered the chef's thalia..hmmmmm...yummilicious. most certainly recommended although I would have like a vegetable dish to replace 1 of the 2 meat dishes. The service was a slow despite the fact when we first arrived, there were ONLY 2 other tables of 2 b4 us. Was difficult to get the attention of the wait staff to take our orders or to get our bill...it looks like there more interested in chatting to each other near the bar area. If it wasn't for that, I would have given them more star rating. Shame the fronted house let down the chef n kitchen staff really really badly. Will go there again for the dishes but if the service is still the same, we will certainly throw in the towel on this restaurant!

Really delicious and well spiced biryani, comes with a thin curry with lots of veg.

Excellent food. Taste was super and good quality and quantity.

My first visit to Saffron Club and the food was absolutely delicious, staff service was excellent and extremely good value for money .. can’t wait to visit again

Vine aquí con amigos como estaba interesado por las opciones nepalesas en el menú. En general, sin embargo, lo encontró similar a muchas otras casas de curry "promedio". No se destacan los platos y pedimos algunos y compartimos. Las porciones de arroz también eran muy pequeñas, lo que es consistente con algunas de las otras críticas.

Cené en The Saffron Club, pedí una variedad de platos vegetarianos y de carne, no me puedo quejar de ninguno de ellos. Se puede decir que la comida está hecha desde cero y que no se usan las horribles salsas preparadas con sabor a helado. El curry y los platos de acompañamiento tenían un montón de verduras picadas agregadas y no eran grasosas, en realidad se sentía como una comida saludable. El servicio era bueno, la decoración es un poco viejo / gastado.

Have always considered this the best curry house ever in Blackheath but the new menu/ownership has seen the quality of food fall dramatically. Each curry was watery and incredibly similar in taste, bearing in mind 6 people each ate different dishes. Shame.

Very impressed with the biriyani ingredients. Glad to see lower quantities of oil than in other establishments. The Goan fish curry was a marvel of subtle flavours and perfectly cooked seafood and fish. Highly recommended.

Good Food, Good Service.Chicken Chilly was really delicious.Definitely we will recommend this restaurant.

Food has great taste. Service was very good, will be coming back again. My favourite Indian restaurant in South east London

Where do I start, well I loved this place so much I thought it would be a great place to meet with my son and he’s new girlfriend, well how wrong am I. Bad service from the start as the waiter was actually going to remove someone from a table we had asked for. So now seated in a table we didn’t ask for we were treated with a scene straight out of faulty towers, plates of food smashing all over the floor dropped menus I was just waiting for John Cleese to pop out. Now the food, my wife loved the Punjabi fish and chips they had on the old menu. We asked if they still done this dish and was told they could still do it, what came out was a trout with McDonald’s french fries it was then I asked if the ownership had changed which the waiter just about let us know that I realised its not the same restaurant. My curry was over cooked chicken in very bad sauce I had to remind the waiter that I had ordered onion bhaji the whole meal was a farce. I can honestly say I will never come back again which is a great shame because this was my go to Friday night curry

A good curry house in Blackheath village, I would describe it as a nepalese restaurant. And these dishes are more interesting than the traditional indian curries. My only complaint is the silly small portions of rice.

Mi marido y yo vamos aquí regularmente y nunca me decepcionó. Fuimos el fin de semana pasado y me encantó ver que ahora tienen un menú vegano. Encantado de verlos ponerse al día con esto, hace que sea mucho más fácil que tener que mirar todo el menú y preguntar qué puedes o no puedes tener.

Reservamos esto para una comida familiar (cuatro de nosotros) y no nos decepcionó, la comida era increíble, aunque el servicio era un poco lento, pero estaban muy ocupados. Pedimos entrantes (¡el plato de barbacoa para 2 es genial! ¡Especialmente el salmón!) Y además todos teníamos un plato principal, más lados y arroces.

Visité el Club Saffron para una comida de cumpleaños de amigos el 21 de diciembre de 2018. Pedimos la comida de antemano ya que había 19 en nuestro grupo y toda la noche fue fantástica de principio a fin.

Llegamos en un día de semana muy tranquilo, de hecho, solo otra mesa estaba ocupada, pero hemos estado aquí a menudo y nos hicieron sentir bienvenidos. La comida ha mejorado mucho aquí en las últimas semanas, el servicio es excelente y la música de fondo es buena. En esta visita, todo era bueno y la comida era excelente, pero era una pena que el anfitrión de la mina, que estaba parado a 10 metros de distancia y que el bar tuviera un frío tan pesado. Para sentirse más cómodo, el huésped de la mina limpiaría sus fosas nasales resoplando. No solo pequeños resoplidos, sino también profundos guturales resoplando desde la base de su alma. Cada 30 segundos. Espero este tipo de comportamiento de las personas que viven en su propia pequeña burbuja y tienen poca consideración por esto a su alrededor, vista con frecuencia en el transporte público, pero ¿de mi anfitrión? Una vez que la lista de reproducción de música terminó, el ambiente del comedor se volvió intolerable, así que nos fuimos lo más pronto posible. ¡Qué pena que la comida fuera tan buena! ¿Qué pasa con el buen pañuelo viejo? TME supongo.

I avoided for a few years after being a regular as seemed to have gone done hill. Retried early last year and pleased to see back to its old high standards. Some nice different dishes on the menu and always good quality.

Visited this restaurant on a Sunday evening. Excellent food and quality was excellent. Very worth while for a visit when in the area. The Chicken Mackani is amazing. Good friendly service. Recommend.

Catalogado como un indio y restaurante nepalí, aunque parecía que había más de un énfasis en el lado indio de las cosas.

Hace algún tiempo, este restaurante ha sido la cima de nuestra lista para nuestro local India/Comidas de Nepal. Nunca nos ha decepcionado en ninguna manera. Además de que, este restaurante ofrece lo que he llegado a considerar como mi plato top hit número uno de la India de todos los tiempos: "Murgi Ghar Ki", descrito en el menú como una casa de estilo tradicional, pollo al curry punjabi. Realmente es fabuloso, y cada vez éxitos todos los gustos. Yo lo recomiendo encarecidamente, ya que no se puede perder. Mi esposa y mi hijo disfrutó de su plato de cada "Pollo Gorkhali". También estuvimos más que encantados de ver en el menú de postres Gulam Jamun del restaurante. Consejo, incluso para las cenas: reserve con antelación.

He estado en azafrán un par de veces y es simplemente increíble, sin duda mi favorito Restaurante indio tan lejos en el sudeste. El servicio es eficiente y el personal es amable y acogedor.

Saffron Club is tasty, it's licensed and they deliver in those reusable boxes. Though our food arrived early, that was after being told it would be 75 mins. (I've started ordering from JE pre-6pm just to get dinner at dinnertime.) It was a little bit pricey for the starters and rice— guess that's the Greenwich tax.

i like safrron club but the portions are way too small.. forcing you to order more and thus it isn't good value for money ...

Love Saffron. So glad its 10 mins away from me. Most Indian takeaways and restaurants are not really authentic. Food never tastes like I would remember back home. Thankfully Saffron has opened up and I have been ordering takeaways and popping in when I can for years. So I thought I should let other know of this little gem.

Food is nothing special. All tasted the same

Perfect Best curry in London And delivery driver was lovely - efficient and polite Thank you

great service and good indian, thank you

Llegué a eso de las 10. 30:00, y me dijeron que es necesario darse prisa y pedir varias veces que iban a cerrar. Estuvimos mirando el menú y nos recordó que necesitamos orden rápidamente, me preguntó a qué hora cerraban y me dijeron 12 de medianoche. Le pregunté por qué estaban pidiendo a prisa y me dijeron como estaba lleno, Yo busqué y incluyendo nuestra mesa había tres mesas ocupadas, yo digo que no hay mucha gente aquí y él dijo, pero ha sido ocupado todo el día. La forma de pedirlo a la orden no era muy educado, Generalmente oigo, qué quieres? Etc, el camarero dijo qué quiere comer?

The food we ordered was tasty but the presentation was not great; the service was a bit slow, the food is priced reasonably

Saffron es un habitual para mí. Soy bastante quisquilloso con la comida india como yo a menudo creo que puede hacer una mejor curry mysel (! Pero saffron es delicioso) especialmente la especialidades como el cordero ghorkali nepalí.

La comida era deliciosa y el sabor era satisfactorio, sin embargo, normalmente no ser tan negativo sobre las comidas que tenía y de los lugares que visitamos como siempre soy muy cuidadoso sobre dónde voy pero me temo en esta ocasión, este es una excepción. He tenido bastantes buenas comidas del Club de azafrán en el pasado, sin embargo, esta vez la presentación y el servicio tuvo mucho que desear. Primero de todo, pedí cebolla bhajis somosas y que no venga con cualquier ensalada que parecía aburrida, y aunque el sabor y unpresentable el sabor era lo suficientemente agradable. Pedí algunas botellas de cerveza y el camarero nos dijo que teníamos que esperar, ya que no estaban lo suficientemente frías. Así que esperé 15 minutos y el camarero aún no habían regresado y tuve que recordarle. Me trajo la cerveza y para mi sorpresa, la cerveza helada! mágicamente Entonces le pregunté al camarero si una porción de arroz hervido sin hacer dos personas y dijo que estaba. Cuando él llegó, todo el arroz trajo sólo uno de un pequeño bowl y no hubiera una persona incluso alimentado! Le dije al camarero que trae otro plato de arroz, aunque me trajo la porción extra de arroz más rápidamente. Al lado, pedí el helado de chocolate. Aunque el camarero había avisado que tienes tres bolas, pero el tamaño de las bolas eran ridículamente pequeñas, de hecho, no era más grande que el tamaño de una pelota de ping pong fue que ridículo! La cuenta fue de casi 70 libras por dos personas que no pensé que merecía la pena, teniendo en cuenta el servicio que tenía y la falta de presentación de los platos. Sin duda tiene mucho más que desear! No creo que tanta prisa por volver!

I felt sorry for the chef who cooked lovely dishes with fresh herbs ( i had the vegetarian thali) having people serve it who have zero empathy. There were 2 other people in the restaurant, yet I had to wait ages. No apologies whatsoever. No...

Fantastic food whether at the restaurant or at home this is now my go to Indian takeaway

Excellent service, chicken perfectly cooked and succulent, on time delivery

Surprised to see only 2 lamb chops in an £8.50 starter when there are usually 4. Bhindi undercooked. Not up to Saffron's usual standard.

Delivered quickly Missing items, phoned restaurant and their comprehension of the English language terrible, I gave up Birriyani pretty bland, worste veg curry Ive ever had with it. No taste what so ever There are far better places to order from , stay clear

Tuvimos una comida para llevar Azafrán última noche, ya que en realidad no tienen tiempo para sentarse en una mesa, aunque hemos estado allí en el pasado. Nos dieron un tiempo de 30 minutos para la comida lista y era. No soy un amante de curry así que tuve el cordero korma. Estaba delicioso, tierno cordero y una deliciosa salsa cremosa. Pero de hecho nos overordered no dejan mucho. La comida estaba bien caliente y bien preparado. Puede incluso tentado a probar algo un poco punzantes la próxima vez.

Arrived 45 minutes after stated delivery time. Food was lukewarm. Spent over £80 . Very poor.

Absolutely delicious, high quality takeaway.

Absolutely delicious. Such a great takeaway service.

Not quite up to their highest standard, but still a great curry compared with their competitors.

El curry indio y nepalí que he probado aquí han sido realmente genial! El personal es muy amable y todo es bastante razonable.

Absolutely delicious food. Highly recommended.

Ignored the delivery time and order arrived an hour early. Otherwise, food quality is great. It was hot and flavoursome..

Superb food and I really appreciated the delivery driver ringing me when my door bell didn't work.

Best biriani I have had for a long time.

Delicious takeaway. One of the best in the area.

came quicker than it said, was v hot, delicious and came with free beer. top class

Really great curries, both the meat and vegetarian! Food came 20 Minutes before the minimum delivery time.

I've used Saffron before and again it was excellent, thoroughly reccommend.

Great tasty food. Delivered quickly and still hot when it arrives

Delivery time given was just over an hour however it was actually over an hour and half with no call to advise or apologise. Food was cold and two elements, momos and roti were inedible.

Ordered at 750 pm delivery time initially 850pm changed to 9pm then finally arrived at 950 pm taking 2 hrs despite being reassured it was on way - "in 2 x minutes", driver even called to verify address and then gave road closure (you wouldn't go anywhere near it!) as excuse when he arrived 1/2 hr later ! Food was lukewarm and average. Also Free wine offer ignored and bottle of beer sent.

Estado viniendo aquí durante los últimos 4 años y cada Nochebuena. De lejos, el mejor de la India es South East London y North West Kent. La comida increíble, un personal encantador y un gran ambiente. Se viene aquí por muchos años más

Delicious. Not cheap but always quality food.

this is a good curry house, best one in blackheath village. indian and nepalese food. the only downside is that the mains and sides portion sizes are borderline too small and high prices on poppadoms etc

Chicken is both dishes was a bit dry and overcooked as was the paneer in the starter. Biryani was dried out. Not up to Saffron's earlier standards (2014-15)

Saffron Club is my favourite place to eat in Blackheath. The staff are friendly and attentive without being over the top. The food is perfectly cooked and the portion sizes are spot on! Yes okay, maybe you do have to wait a while for your mains... At least I know theyre being cooked fresh! I'd be worries if it turned up in 5 minutes!Very reasonably priced for what you get. Their take away/delivery service is amazing too! No lacking in quality because youre not eating in!

Order was incomplete , 2 items missing.

It always varies depending on which chef is working but we've never had a bad meal. Last night, though, everything had some kind of large seed (I'm assuming cardemon) in it. Although it adds lovely flavour, it ruins your meal when you're munching on one every two minutes! We've never ezperienced this before and it did spoil our dinner a little.

Superb food choice for Vegetarians. We had a great evening at this restaurant with friends.Good atmosphere and attentive service.Lovely food - great all round choice.We will be going back.

Delicious food. Pricier than most but quality of the food is worth it.

Bit disappointed overall. Ordered the mixed veg platter starter, but got 4 soggy bhajis. Curry was ok, but nothing special. Saag aloo was overcooked spinach and undercooked potato. Have had much better in the area, but won't be coming back here, sadly.

Great food fantastic waiting staff, and a lovely lady who runs the floor . Always treated special, even getting a takeaway you are always treated so well. Fantastic food, is a must if you are in the area. Highly recommend a visit.

A little salty if I am being honest otherwise excellent food all round

Pricy takeaway but glad to say that the quality is there to justify it.

Pricy takeaway but glad to say that the quality is there to justify it.

We had a great meal here, brilliant service. The waiter we had was 1st class and very informative and helpful, about the menu, the meal was fantastic, I had the special which was delish. I would definitely go back there again when I'm in the area.

Food was great , friendly staff , only one small disappointment was the complimentary cranberry juice 😄, will recommend ppl to eat from here , thank you

Best food in Blackheath by a long way.

Did a local pickup and was ready on time. Great food. Been going here for years.

Poor customer service. We ordered takeaway from Saffron and was told it would be delivered in 50 minutes, and 1h15 minutes later it was finally delivered. Then we found part of the order was wrong and phoned them straight back. They said they would send out the correct dishes, 30 minutes later no delivery. By this time I've eaten my dinner, whilst my friend sat here hungry! We phoned again and they said someone would be here soon. It's now over one hour later (two hours 20 minutes since we ordered) and still no food, no refund and not one apology. Saffron I'm very disappointed.

Have eaten at many of the restaurants in Blackheath and finally managed to book a table at this restaurant on a Saturday evening. Pleasant interior and the sevice wasgood. portions of food good and cooked as requested. Wine and beer reasonable priced.So all in all had a pleasant experience at this restaurant. Menu prices slightly higherthan our stamping ground in Bexleyheath but cosidering the area to be expectedWould recommend

I reviewed here back in mid 2015, but had a mediocre experience, so stopped using.I recently ordered just a couple of dishes for takeaway which was really good, like it used to be when I first started to visit.The lamb korma was tender, creamy and mild, but everything was piping hot which was a huge improvement on last time.The delivery is still slow, always at least an hour, even for 1 or two dishes, but it was very tasty. Mushroom pilau was lovely and vibrant and piping hot too.Popadoms again were slightly chewy, some crispy and some chewy.Still good though, but needs to be 5 stars again!

Prawn Biryani was soggy, pilau rice was burnt (although when I rang they did bring me a fresh portion), naan bread was burnt underneath. Chicken korma was edible as was poppadoms.

Had some good meals here in the past but disappointed by recent experience. Waited over 40m for a curry with rice & a naan!

Used to enjoy the food here years ago before moving. Recently moved back into Blackheath and the welcome back party was catered by these guys. I of course dined there beforehand to check standards had not slipped, it was perfect as ever. Especially the barbecue meat and prawn platter

Food overall was really tasty and the curries were generous portion sizes. The complimentary wine was appreciated. However the sag aloo appeared to be more sag than aloo, and the lamb shank was missing its vegetables and mash. And the 2 hour delivery time was unacceptable.

Food delivered in 1 hour. Lovely but a bit cold
