We visited around 5 on a Saturday evening with our 2 young children we were made to feel unwelcome and it seemed as though we were an inconvenience and they just didn't want us there as it was busy. Sat us next to a door where people just kept walking in and out. Seemed to rush to get us out. Food was expensive and just very average, meat was rubbery. Would not visit again

After reading good reviews with some not so good ones on TA, we decided to take a chance and we are glad we did. We didn’t book a table but they kindly accommodated us on what was a busy evening. The food was very tasty and service was excellent. Only thing I would suggest to the management is not to spray cleaning solution on the table next to customers eating as we could smell and taste it , instead should spray on a cloth first. Other than that we’d go back and would highly recommend the restaurant.

We took friends here last year and enjoyed it enough to go back. What a difference. I made a reservation three hours before we went, but when we arrived they had no booking. The drinks order was taken but only three turned up, the fourth drink didn't. The customer had to go and get it from the bar. The naan breads were like lethal weapons. My husband snapped his and flakes flew across the table. By the end of the meal I wish I had used mine to slice my wrist, it was certainly crisp enough. One meal had a piece of raw chicken in and this was the second bite. They took it away and offered something else which was refused. Later they brought back the dinner, with the chicken washed on a plate to show her, it was only one raw piece. Never in my life have I come across anything like this. They again asked if she wanted another meal which she refused. We asked for the bill and were still waiting 1/2 an hour later, so we decided to walk out and pay on the way. They presented the bill, which still had the uneaten meal on. We refused to pay. The bill was finally adjusted. As we left the building the girl on the desk asked us if we had enjoyed our meal and when I said, "Sorry, no not really" She replied, "LOVELY, have a nice evening" and turned back to her screen. It is a shame as I had recommened this restaurant before but not now.

After reading the reviews about people not being able to get a seat without a booking, was not expecting to get a seat on a Saturday night walking in. But we did! We shared poppadoms, a chicken tikka biriyani each, shared a keema Nan and some chips. Disappointed with the chips, which were more like fries and a tiny portion. But the rest of the food and the service was excellent! Didn’t take any pics, too keen to eat the food!

high class Indian food. From the delicious chutneys to the mains, sides and naans. Absolutely delicious. Big portions, so need to factor this. Very good value for such beautiful food. Sabzi Balti was a new experience, but so good. Bhindi Bhaji the stand out dish. Fabulous.

We visit Saffron every time we go to Barmouth . The food is excellent and we love it there - only downside is the terrible attitude of the lady owner . There no reliable booking system in place when bookings can be made except to leave a voice message which is totally ignored . You have to pop in days before to book as their so busy which is ridiculous if you’re only there for the weekend .

The food was delicious and flavourful. The staff were friendly, chatty and helpful. Excellent news that the restaurant scores 5 out of 5 from Environmental Services. Would we recommend absolutely 💯 lots of locals returning. Always a good sign. We ordered a bottle of wine from the wine list, we didn’t receive the one we wanted, maybe out of stock? The decor could do with updating, I appreciate every day living costs have increased.

As far as the average curry house goes this is pretty decent. We enjoyed all the dishes and if I lived here I'd definitely go again. It's quite a small restaurant and we walked in around 7pm and got a table for 5 on a Sunday evening in April but I would definitely book if you are visiting in peak holiday time as I imagine they get very busy. They even had to turn a couple away whilst we were there.

Have been to Indian restaurants all over the world and ordered chicken tikka masala which was extremely poor. Looked like chicken in Italian sauce but without tue flavour. Taste just of coconut which is odd in a masala. The butter chicken was horrendous this is suppose to be in a flavoursome tomato sauce with subtle herbs and came in what looked like pure ghee! Weirdly the only thing that was ok was the chips maybe they need to reappraise their menu. Very very poor all 5 of us extremely disappointed. We will not be back ever!

Visited here while staying in Barmouth, we booked a table which is highly recommended as the place is very small. Food was very good apart from the Madras which was too hot , more like vindaloo, ( and the wife has madras every time at an indian) the price as well was expensive, including the the house wine at £20 , its the same one we buy at tesco for £7 ! So if you need an Indian it's the only one in the village so you don't have much choice

After reading mixed reviews , we decided to book a table for dinner on a Saturday evening. So glad we booked, as the restaurant was so busy. Thought we had ordered starters, but realised we hadn't, which in the end was a good thing as the mains we ordered were more than enough! Ordered Poppadoms, Chicken Jalfrezi, Nawabi Khana, Vegetable Rice, Bombay Aloo & Keema Naan. The meal was delicious, no issues at all. The wait time was really good also. Although Saffron is approx. 50 mins drive from where we live, we will definately be visiting again!

Highly recommended Indian takeaway. The food was tasty, fresh and hot.

The wait time was a little longer than originally quoted when ordering, but the restaurant was busy and the additional wait was worth it.

It was a busy evening in Barmouth and we were looking for a bite and the Saffron managed to squeeze us in. We waited an hour at a nearby pub whilst having a pint and then returned to the restaurant for dinner. The staff, although young, were very attentive and served us quickly. We are tandoori chicken, Dahl and saag aloo and biriyani. We also ate chapthis and salad and it was all very delicious. My husband is Sri Lankan and quite fussy if he eats out at restaurants but he thoroughly enjoyed the food. The staff coped with a big family group, a large group of fellas in a night out and couples and all were treated the same with courtesy and politeness and had quick service. We would have no hesitation going back to eat here.

We visited in the evening as a group of four friends, for a meal booked at 8pm.Very disappointed with Covid precautions taken by Saffron and it's staff. On entering, signs reminded us to wear face masks and to respect social distancing so I expected to feel safe and that Covid guidelines would be followed. However, social distancing was impossible as tables were so close together that they barely had 2 feet between tables. It felt very uncomfortable. There were 4 staff, 3 had masks, 2 of whom wore their masks on their chins for the complete time we were in the restaurant, they never used them to cover mouth and nose and the third member of staff wore it on her chin for the majority of the time, only raising it to cover nose and mouth twice during our evening visit. Due to the closeness of the tables when staff served our food they had to stand very close to us, unmasked. Initially the door was open for ventilation - however a customer in shorts and T shirt stated he felt cool, so shut the door making a comment that he might die of hyperthermia instead of Covid if the door was left open! Staff made no comment, did not speak with the customer and did not reopen the door.The two starters ordered on our table were brought before we had even finished our poppadoms - which felt as though they were rushing us so that someone else could have our table quicker, as it was very busy..My food was not hot, barely warm - I had to ask for all my food, including the rice, to be reheated. They did apologise. However, it took a while to bring it back, and when they did they initially put it all on a table in the middle of the room instead of bringing it straight to our table! I waited again and after a short while 2 of the the three dishes were brought to our table but they had to be reminded to pass me the rice that was left on a table in the middle of the crowded restaurant.I had been looking forward to this meal at the end of our walking holiday - and was really disappointed with the Covid precautions not in place, staff attitudes and food not served hot enough. Such a shame - as when I finally received the food I had ordered the flavour was lovely. I appreciate that it was a really busy time on a Bank Holiday weekend - but I did not get the service I expected and have always received from other Indian restaurants.

We have been coming to Barmouth for over 20 years, always enjoyed an Indian from Saffron Last visited in September and had the most divine butter chicken, upon return today we couldn’t wait to tuck in, VERY disappointed to say the least. Butter chicken was just chicken floating in watery milk - not a thick creamy sauce like you’d expect. The best way to describe it would be a cheap milkshake with added water !! Couldn’t eat it We also had a chicken madras which was equally as poor and watered down The vegetable rice was ok but again this was not as it used to be, pretty much an uncle bens micro pouch ...Unsure what’s gone on here, whether it’s changed hands or just a chef mistake/issue but we won’t be going here again sadly I hate to write bad reviews, and this is actually my first - as harsh as it seems myself and my family where all really disappointed and I feel like both the restaurant itself and and anyone wanting a takeaway deserve to know the poor quality of watery unflavoured currys that we where given tonight Really hope that improvements are made, a real shame !

You receive delightful tasty food at a very fair price and you always receive good and friendly service.Our appetisers were popodoms with a tasty chutney tray. We opted "out" of starters as all the main dishes (and a large selection) are ever so satisfying. We went for lamb and chicken jalfrezis, chaichen shaslick and chicken tikka massala, accompanied with vegetable and pilau rice.Delightful and so enjoyed.

We visited as a last resort, having found most local eateries fully booked due to only running on 50% bookings. On arrival, we were seated immediately and our order taken fairly quickly. I ordered the chicken tikka chilli massala which was ridiculously hot and my partner the balti akbari cham cham which he really enjoyed. We were sat feet from the bar area where they were taking takeaway orders (loudly) every few minutes. Great for business - not so for diners. If you're an asian connoisseur, you'll be disappointed but as we we're just having a few days away it did the job.

Staying for a few days in Barmouth and given the current circumstances there is a captive market for people who want to grab a take away or eat out, our experience feels like this. We were quite looking forward to an Indian but were really disappointed here. We booked the day before by just popping in - no problems there. Overall the food was not great - bland base sauces with a few bits of lemon or other spices added. We tasted each other’s curries and they were both the same. There’s not a lot more I can say - mass produced for the predominantly take away trade and As the only Indian for miles no much effort for the trade.For Covid - interesting - one manager was walking around with one glove on and one glove off , hands everywhere, not sure what the rationale for that was. Another staff member wore gloves for everything, the waitresses however were very good with hand washing and no gloves. When we asked why gloves were on all the time we got a confusing answer, not good for real confidence or hand washing .

We had poppadoms, lamb bhuna, saag aloo, tandoori mixed grill, keema naan and pilau rice. Most of the food was fine, there was something I didn't recognise in the mixed grill but you know. The keema naan wasn't very good and they did the usual takeaway trick of missing out an item but because you've got a takeaway and you've only discovered it when you're back at your tent and can't be arsed so I'll never know whether the pilau rice was any good. It was fine, but it could have been better. Covid measures okay.

Visited on first day of opening after lockdown. We were sat at a window table at the front. Good parts:Asian food was good.One of our party was a non curry eater and had Scampi & chips, which was very poor - everything was cooked from frozen; the scampi overdone, the chips barely done. Bad parts:- the place is filthy. The window ledge we sat next to was covered in a layer of dust and dead flies. The windows don’t appear to have been cleaned in a long time either. - we found the service terrible. Staff and management ignored us and were more concerned about discussing football with their mates. - drink options poor and expensive. Soft drinks are served warm with no ice. - oddly, most of the light bulbs in the light fittings don’t work- there is no ambience - no Asian music. It’s all regrettable as the curry is good We won’t return.

Popadums fresh, lovely mint sauce and mango chutney, but no onion salad in the pack. Curries were watery and lacking flavour. One Korma the chicken wasn’t properly cooked. 2 x cheese naans hardly any cheese. 1 x keema naan, no bloody meat in it !. Garlic naan missing from order Considering the staff were so polite, it’s a shock the food was so poor. £62 wastedStay regularly at Sunnysands, but won’t be ordering from here again. Disappointed family

We came to Barmouth for a 2 night stay and ended up eating here both nights. Staff are very friendly and attentive. The food is beautiful. Will definitely eat here again when we come back.

Finding ourselves in Barmouth at the end of the tourist season and many places closed for the winter we tried The Saffron...the staff were very friendly and the food was a delight. Tried the Chicken Jaflong as it sounded a little like my favourite Ceylon which is a rarity these days. It was really good, full of flavour and just the right level of heat. My companion had a Chicken Pathia that she described as one of the best she had tried and the accompanying rice, naan and Okra were all fresh and perfect too. It was all so good we went back the next night and had Chicken Tikka Madras and Jalfrezi with sides and again not disappointed in any way.If you’re in Barmouth I strongly suggest you try this place, you’ll be glad you did I think.

Well we had the best curries here than we have had in a very long time. Everything was spot on and the staff were very friendly and helpful. We will certainly be back for another fantastic time.

We ordered a takeaway. Took a long time for it to be ready, but the order was correct and the food was good, other than the chips which weren't great. Cost was a little above what I'd expect.

We visited Saffron on a busy Friday evening. We hadn't booked but we were warmly greeted and a table was soon found for us. The staff were extremely attentive and the service was quick and efficient. I had the chicken tikka sag this time which was 'okay'. It was not bursting with flavour and the chicken was quite tough but it was certainly not the worst meal I have had. My partner who is not used to eating Indian food opted for the chicken korma and he enjoyed it immensely. I have eaten here before. I would not say the food is 'amazing' but it is 'okay'. Would I eat here again - yes.

Went here in July with the family. The food was fantastic. Had a takeaway in October and it was without question the worst takeaway I and my other half have ever had. It's was watery and tasteless. Won't be going back.

We went on a Friday night after reading several mixed reviews. Lovely staff, really welcoming and a cracking lamb madras. Don’t be put off by the odd bad review. We really enjoyed it and would definitely go again.

We hadn't booked anything, went out to eat but everywhere was either closed, closing or fully booked. This restaurant was full but they said they would fit us in half an hour later, we went for a drink in the pub next door and they came and fetched us when our table was ready. The staff were so friendly, the service was great and so was the food

It's a very good British Indian restaurant. Living in Barmouth, I've eaten here... oh!.. it must be 50 times, and the quality of the food is always good - I can recommend everything I've tried on the menu and I've tried most things. Particular favourites are Jalfrezzi and Jaflong or any tandoori dish. I occasionally go 'hot' too and here I can particularly recommend the chicken naga curry. Service is good too and you can't knock the prices either. It's not one of those newer, slightly posy Indian Street Food type places - some of which are really good, but they tend to be a more expensive... No this is a typical, old-style, curry house, but one that is really good at what it does. It's pleasantly decorated, but it can feel a little cramped when full - which it often is in the summer.

Went Sunday early evening with hesitation after reading reviews. Friendly guys waiting on, lots of locals coming in for takeaways and regulars eating in. Meal was very good so if you want a curry while in Barmouth would recomend.

Heerlijk echt Indiaas gegeten. Je moet wel van behoorlijk hete maaltijden houden. Ruime variatie in eten uit diverse streken uit het moederland. Zeer vriendelijk personeel Prijzen: OK.

Very disappointed. Paid £25 for 2 takeaway meals (no starters) Tasteless main course - very oily and seemingly just spooned into the takeaway carton from a standard pot of ‘curry’ Pretty much taking the mick out of anyone wanting a decent Indian meal. STAY CLEAR.

If it’s late then this is pretty much the only show in town for a sit down meal. Very generic food and just like your average Indian.

meals were very nice, and a reasonable price, but were served incredibly quickly and came out whilst we still had our poppadoms, the place could do with a bit of a clean, but overall the food was nice

I love tarka dhal & am always disappointed in other restaurants when it comes out thin & weak tasting. In Saffron it was the best I’ve ever had, full of flavour, thick,with chickpeas & very, very moreish!

Chicken Tikka Masala just tasted of coconut. Dahl was like a thin soup. The rest of what we ordered was basic and under-whelming. It’s 2019 and I’d expect an Indian restaurant to have moved on from this uninspired version of eighties curry house food. And while the service wasn’t at fault as such it seemed all a bit of an effort for them and we didn’t feel particularly welcome. Seating was all a bit cramped too.

Had a curry whilst on holiday here.. thought it was lovely. Had garlic chilli chicken, naan bread and popadoms. The curry was very different to what I’m used to back home but it was still very nice. Couldn’t fault it

Lovely meal, very helpful staff who went and asked the chef before I ordered to make sure my meal would be gluten free. I was delicious. Very resonable prices too.

My wife and I have been here before and loved it. Revisited this evening and we were treated to great food again. There is room for improvement on the upkeep of the building, and a bit of background music wouldn’t go amiss, but all in all it was a very enjoyable visit. Being ‘cash only’ is a bit of a nuisance these days, but that is won over by the fact you can take your own wine… if you need either cash or wine there is a convenience store a few yards away!

Not sure why but the restaurant was not open the week we were in Dinas Dinlle which was a disappointment. Should have realised really as no reviews since 2019 and the website doesn't work.
