Saffron Indian & Bangladeshi Restaurant in Eastleigh

First time at Saffron and it was great! The food was so delicious, loads of vegetarian options and the restaurant is so pretty. Will definitely be back

Lovely meal out here, but beware poppadoms were £8.50 for five and three small trays of sauces was £5.50 😣

order was prebooked for 6.30 delivery and arrived at 6.50. Food wasn't hot. Lamb Korma didn't taste of much. Onion bhaji was stodgy. Pompadoms were totally crushed and in very small pieces. I was very disappointed as always happy with previous deliveries

Amazing food, quick and efficient delivery. Thanks

Ordered a takeaway from here with ubber 12/5/25 food was bland at best then had my card used fraudulent at 20 past 8 the next morning by someone ordering a tesco delivery with my details

Food was lovely order was really late! The delivery driver was really nice but order over 30 minutes late

Very good meal, food was fantastic. Staff very efficient.

Fantastic food, staff were accommodating and the food was next level 5*

Food was first class. Would order from them again.

Food was very good, I usually go for an Indian takeaway over eating in the restaurant as I usually prefer it but I have just had one of the best dhansak I’ve had and the service was impeccable . Definitely coming back.

We've visited several times - delicious food, freshly cooked to order so understandably doesn't come out quickly. Previously we've found if difficult to keep the drinks flowing but this time the waiters were better at checking on our drinks, which is important to keep the vibe whist waiting for the food. One of the waiters was not as happy/friendly as the others. It turns into a bit of chaos when the dishes arrive (ours was a party of 8). With the waiters shouting out the dishes and the recipents finding it hard to recognise what they ordered. Would be great if the waiters had system to remember who ordered what to make for a more pleasurable experience. Lastly, they don't serve tea of any sort! We're a tea drinking nation, and so is India. Please invest in some tea pots and tea bags. Peppermint tea is also a popular choice. The food will keep us coming back.

Had the murgh mushroomi and tandoori king prawns and everything was excellent, staff were brilliant would highly recommend

Great food, great people, great vibe, great price and most of all a great curry. (Can’t forget the Cobra either) Highly recommend for anyone in the area. The best curry house in Eastleigh

The food was brilliant and the service was outstanding, couldn’t have asked for more! Booking was nice and easy and parking couldn’t be better.

didn't think Saffron would deliver outside Eastleigh but, they do and after the meal we have just had thank heavens for that

Excellent food, very polite staff. Good beer. Would like to go again.

Excellent! Good service.,fantastic food.

Ordered a king Prawn biriyani last night for delivery to my hotel a tub of oil is what I got. The vegetables in it did not taste freshly made i had one bite and threw it away.

I have had this order from Saffron Indian eastleigh several times but this time the food didn’t look or taste the same. Very disappointing

Ordered takeaway via Deliveroo. Saag aloo absolutely incredible, probably the best I’ve had. Chicken tikka masala pretty good. Onion fried rice terrible - crunchy, and completely inedible. Not sure what happened there. Maybe I’ll give them another go at some point! 👍🏻

waiting for collection was 20 minutes over the actual collection time

The meal was very good, the servers attentive. A good place to eat in this town.

Lovely food and great service best Indian restaurant in Eastleigh

Went on Sunday night and took advantage of the Sunday Special - £18.50 for starter, main, side dish and rice or naan. The food was amazing. Very delicious (particularly the Saffron starter platter and the lamb in garlic and coriander). The food was a flavourful blend of spices without going overboard on the heat. The side dishes were also tasty (although, I would've liked the Bombay potatoes to be a bit spicier). The service was great, very attentive, although, to be fair, the restaurant wasn't busy. The amazing thing about this meal though was the price! £18.50 per person for the quality and amount of food provided represents incredible value for money. Will definitely be back on a Sunday!

Luke warm. I have had hotter salads

Amazing food and amazing service.

Excellent food. I tried several dishes, all were very good. Naan was perfect

Excellent food excellent atmosphere staff friendly snd welcoming fitted us in at the last minute and made our night

Great food. Amazing staff and great atmosphere . If you're in Eastleigh this is the place to go !

What an amazing night best food we have had in a long time. Thank you so much

Our food is waiting to be picked up by your driver. I called the restaurant and they said its been sat there waiting to be picked up and is now cold.

I’ve been in the restaurant before and the food is absolutely fabulous. the time i decide to order from home my food is cold, not even lukewarm, my rice is crunchy as if it was left/overcooked.

September of 2024. I was staying nearby and was having trouble finding a restaurant that was open late, so they let me in. I haven't been able to find delicious food since I went to England, but the curry at this restaurant was delicious. Thank you to the staff. thank you very much.

Food was supposed to arrive latest at 8:20 after ordering at 7:20. Turned up at 9:30 and had to reheat all food as was cold!

Lovely food and delivered on time.

Food as always really good and hot, my only gripe here is the additional service charge of 11% then having to pay for the delivery charge as well ! a tad naughty when it's a takeaway meal ! please remove this as it's unfair and not acceptable

Great food, great menu, great service making for a great night out with friends

Good apart from an item was missing which was really annoying

As always an excellent meal well delivered.

Delivery was later than stated, ALL the order was cold!

The Korma was three quarters sauce 7 small pieces of chicken, not worth the value. The last two orders had more meat less sauce definitely value for money but not this time!

It was really tasty food and we enjoyed but I think delivery from Eastleigh to hedge end on a push bike is a bit too much. The dishes had leaked all over the order and it was a bit of a mess. Apart from that I’d recommend and the deliver rider was lovely

The definitive curry house to go to in eastleigh and I've been a happy customer over the past 3 years

Ordered through Uber Eats. Do not ignore some of the poor reviews as someone mentioned the food did not look right and caused them food poisoning. Me and my wife ordered in and when the food arrived, it did not look the usual standard of an Indian Grill. The food was colourful however lacked flavour. The worst thing about the food was that it caused us food poisoning, my wife spent a few hours of the night vomiting and had an upset stomach for a few days. I also ended up with the runs. Someone else also had a similar experience if you read the one star reviews. AVOID AT ALL COSTS UNLESS YOU WISH TO RISK SEVERE FOOD POISONING.

The food was not that great, no butter chicken listed on the menu, the korma was very sweet. the lamb dish had a thick layer of oil and the lamb pieces had too much fat. However the reason for the post was the service charge that was added for a table of 3. Very strange as I understand the service charge is sometimes added to tables of 6 or more.

Was visiting the area and fancied an Indian, absolute first class service/food and atmosphere, definitely dine here again if I'm ever in the area again

08/10/24 17 of us were there for a birthday meal, food was amazing service spot on, all meals come out together. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Bloody grand I can tell thee, Got myself a madras and made a reet good pong back at the travel lodge missed first half of Cast Away but well worth it 👌

Prompt delivery of lovely food

Sadly, the onion bhaji was overcooked as if it had been recooked from the night before. The curry was not at the level of quality that we have had when visiting the restaurant. Disappointing since we had such a good experience at the restaurant.

Best curry we have had in a long time chicken was lovely and tender. Will definitely be having again.

Thought I'd try it, We'd 14.8.24, as hadn't been there since moving to Eastleigh Dec.2023. Yeah I enjoyed it and booked for Saturday for my lady and myself. Onion Bhajis, Chicken Madras, plain Naan and a couple of Cobras. Wasn't too busy and I was well looked after particularly as I have mobility issues.

Good food, good surroundings. Service a little slow sometimes but not really an issue. One of the better Indian restaurants I have been too.

The Saffron was the only Indian restaurant I would use for many years but this, sadly, was the worst food I’ve had in a very long while. The curry was very watery, the naan was thin, similar to a pancake. Poor quality food all round. Everything had a sweet aftertaste too.

Curry was very very watery, left a pool on the plate and was very bland on flavour

We went to Saffron on a Friday night. We asked for some recommendations. I had a lamb gosht kallimirch and it was without doubt, the best curry I’ve ever tasted. The staff were lovely, the food sublime, and the restaurant was tasteful and clean. I would definitely recommend Saffron.

This is the best Indian food I have had in along time!! I highly recommend this restaurant

Food Delivery was great, but unfortunately had no cash for the delivery guy's tip, as ordering takeout was on a whim. The packaging on the other hand was not very helpful. The bag ripped from the lower corner and the duck dish sauce spilt onto one of our throw blankets (beige) and the wool carpet. It will probably be a permanent stain since spices are difficult to wash. Please consider better packaging, as the current ones are flimsy, or the paper bag is not reinforced enough when soaked with sauce.

I ordered food earlier by uber eats nothing is good roti not perfect i mentioned already make it thin not best never use it again Be aware everyone dont waste your money here

Delicious delicious delicious, thank you!

The best curry I've ever had! And I don't say that lightly!

I wanted to change an item and phoned the restaurant. They said just to order onion bhaji’s, add a comment and they would add what I wanted. Guess what - it didn’t happen and they sent onion bhaji’s - not happy!😡

the madras curry was missing we called the restaurant and they admitted the Curry was sat on the side but could not get it to us . so we had to accept this but then the nan breads were the soggest coldest worst we had ever had very disappointed 😞

So my son and I had a rather interesting experience in this particular establishment this evening, the food to be fair was last about ok , however, the bullying I witnessed of the new member of staff was disgraceful, younger man constantly betraying a new older member of staff, vile behaviour, Whoever owns this place needs to have a word with the entitled jumped up tool that's running front of house

Food was swimming in water. Not much taste either. Although probably not the restaurants fault, it took 2 hours to be delivered.

Food was delicious, we love this restaurant

Had a very nice meal here last night

Table for six Wednesday at 6pm. Restaurant was quite on arrival. Pleasant welcome from staff member.Great service relaxed not rushed.Food arrived promptly as did the ordered drinks and was very nice. Could not fault this restaurant that had filled up and was busy when we left.

We have been regulars at saffron for a long time and they have just gone more and more downhill. We got a takeaway last night from them which was inedible. Really disappointed and will no longer be eating here.

Fantastic restaurant! Really lovely interiors, great service and food was excellent. Highly recommended 👌

The platter was OK. Murgh 65 was not OK

The food was delicious and thanks so much for sending complimentary items. Really lovely meal thank you.

Good services. Highly recommended

Didn't enjoy this meal at all not a lot of taste

Naan bread was cold and rest of food I would say was just warm. Shame as used to love saffron but let down today

Another great meal tonight. Looking forward to coming back very soon.

Always a great meal from Saffron. Love their Makhani Chicken.

The food was very good and there was a good menu to choose from. The service was slow. It took 1 hour 15 minutes for our main course to be served, although we did have popadoms and chutneys served shortly after arrival. The restaurant was very busy with some groups dining and I think they needed more waiters. It was nice and warm.

Food was cold. Chicken dish had spilt out of container. Poppadoms were broken. Rice had dry clumps of white rice in . Worst meal I have ever had delivered.

They got us in last minute on Christmas Eve, and the food was phenomal. Staff were really friendly too. Would definitely go back without hesitation.

Not all the order was delivered which seems pretty standard for most delivery services at the moment.

Foil trays dented and leaking, a bag full of sauce. Not that hot but the food itself was tasty. In future I will order from a restaurant that delivers by car, not bike.

Easy to use, food delivered and hot. Would recommend.

Food was delicious! Really hot, great quality. Delivery was good too. Overall, great experience. Will order again.

Arrived nearly lukewarm warm !

Out food was out if the tin boxes and in the bottom of the bag. Spilt everywhere!

Delicious food, good vegetarian options, delivery prompt and easy.

Nice meal for a retirement function with my old colleagues.

The food was disappointing. I had a chicken jalfrazy which was rather mild and had far too much onion. Staff were great and ambiance good

First visit to this venue, very impressed. Food was lovely with plenty of choice, staff very good, service great, will go again

Was actually nearly 2 hours late. Service was shocking. I rung the restaurant my food was sat around for over an hour cooked in the bag and no one to deliver it. Turned up cold and disgusting. So angry and disappointed with this service

Absolutely delicious. Lovely big chunks of chicken in plenty of sauce. The nicest so far - and very tasty side dishes too.

Not as good as everyone makes out. Shaslik was way too hot and the Bhuna was mild. Balti was very good, though

Currys were tastless and watery.

Top experience. Managed to get a good table without prebooking, friendly/professional personnel and excellent food. Would visit again if in the area. Thank you!

Food cold I’ve had to re heat! Ordered it for 6:15 got it at 6:35!

It said delivered and it has not been. We are terribly annoyed. First time we have ever tried this service - never again!

This place has certainly improved its mannerism and service, all I can say is good about it now, food has been amazing on last few visits and service is very good, keep up the good work and please don't come complacent

Extremely late delivery and food not as good as usual. Very disappointed.

Had to go collect it myself - this was ordered hours before the chosen delivery time! No excuse for being this late.
