A wonderful experience ✨️ everything was magic. I believe that we will return to visit northern Ireland for this restaurant, no kidding, it has remained a point of reference that my husband always compers to, even when on our recent visit to India he said no food was as good as this portrush hidden Gem, I'll also add that we arrived in a busy night on a bustling bank holiday evening, we still got incredible service, excellent food and a magical atmosphere, the restaurant had indian dinners that seemed above and beyond happy with there food so that is also a great indication. Thank you again for an unforgettable experience ❤️

I had an extremely disappointing experience at Saffron Indian Restaurant. The staff here have absolutely no manners when it comes to treating customers. When I arrived, they literally shut the door in my face and rudely informed me that no dining was available. There was no apology, no explanation, just an abrupt dismissal that left me feeling disrespected and unwelcome. This is not how you treat customers, and I would never recommend this place to anyone. If you're looking for a pleasant dining experience, steer clear of this place. They clearly don’t care about their patrons.

We are big fans of Indian food, in the US. Saffron ranked right up there with the best of them. Friendly staff as well. We were the only customers in the restaurant on a Wednesday night which surprised us. Restaurant is neat and clean but nothing fancy. Medium spice level was just about right.

Can't actually fault this place, will be honest after 16 years living in London hadn't been for a curry since I moved home in 2022, this place wasn't my first choice but due to it being the only place open in the area on a Tuesday night, but will definitely be back, yes it was quiet, the food was incredible, like Brick Lane level, couldn't fault a thing and some very happy guests all going along with my want and stepping out of their comfort zones. Definitely a must visit if you're in the area and want some really good traditional curries. Highly highly recommend the Saag Aloo.

I recently dined at this restaurant during my road trip from Dublin. I ordered the special biryani for £15.95, which included a mix of sheep, chicken, and prawns, along with a side of vegetable curry that resembled a thick sambar in appearance. However, it tasted nothing like traditional sambar. Unfortunately, the biryani had uncooked masala (chilli powder) which made it really hot and didn't meet my expectations in terms of taste. When I shared my disappointment with the manager, he mentioned that this is how biryanis are prepared in Northern Ireland, following a lesser-known Indian biryani style that very few people are familiar with. As a traveler, I was hoping for a slightly closer authentic culinary experience. I believe there's room for improvement in the quality of their dishes. Overall, my visit left much to be desired."

As per restaurant owner Chicken Biryani is Northern Ireland special biryani, not Indian biryani. The worst biryani in Northern Ireland. Please don't ask for spicy birayani, they will just add chilli powder and mix it. Update : As per the REPLAY from the restaurant, it is ok to add chilli powder and mix it. Please don't call yourself an Indian restaurant, it's Northern Ireland restaurant. I request all Indians to try out other authentic Indian restaurants,, not this one.

Here you can try out the "northern Ireland special Biriyani"😂😂😂😅😅😅. I think everyone should try out this 🌶️ biriyani. REPLY TO THE RESTAURANT JUSTIFICATION: Yes i can surely say that you didn't put green chillies, instead you dumped a whole lot of red chilli powder in that overcooked rice. So i personally like to name it is a 'Red Chilli Biryani' not a chicken biriyani. I recommend other authentic Indian restaurants for Indian cuisines.

Great tasting food, good selection, and good service.The pricing point is about average. Maybe slightly above to sit in. The only minus point would be the decor, which is a tad poor.

The restaurant wouldn’t win any awards for its interior but the service was very good and the food tasty but not really true Indian. I did enjoy it but having been to several regions of India I know the food served here was very Europeanished. Lots of sugar added to sweeten the curries up, some of the dishes could have been desserts. They all however could not be faulted for the amount of meat in them. Some time you get lots of sauce with very little substance where as here it was quiet the opposite and it wasn’t cheap meat cuts either. All the meat dishes we had contained big tender, succulent hunks of meat. So although it was the Indian I was expecting it was still very enjoyable.

Food was mediocre and not to my taste for Indian food. Hot, but lacking in individual spice taste. Tikka chilli masala was drowned in salt which precluded taste of spices. Left meal unfinished, as palate couldn't handle being overpowered by saltiness. Balti was better, but not usual Balti, lacking flavour. Didn't have feel of being cooked from scratch. Restaurant itself was relaxed and staff not attentive when busy.

Hard to find a decent curry in the area- but We ordered the Lamb Rogan Josh and it was pretty tasty with a nice level of spice. The lamb was tender, not dry. We wouldn’t call it a typical, authentic Rogan Josh- however- it was a half tasty, flavoursome dish. Very saucy. Fluffy pilau rice. 😊

Our view on Saffron is a bit different to most of the reviews. The number of good reviews on Trip Advisor encouraged us to try Saffron. But we found the food bland - our dishes tasted quite similar and the Kadhai Paneer was much more salty than is pleasant. We normally find that Indian restaurants make good use of the variety of spices with quite different blends in different dishes - whereas Saffron’s dishes are all similar in taste. Their equivalent of Bombay potato came in a curry sauce, which I have never had before as it usually comes without a curry sauce. I appreciate that some people may prefer a relatively bland taste - but I think this misses out on the wonderful blends of spices which some restaurants achieve.

Update: The owner asked me to reach out to him privately to rectify the experience, but when I responded now over a week ago he is yet to reply or do anything g to make up for us wasting £80 on food that was not edible. Maybe this is because our cash went in his pocket and not the till as their restaurant was “cash only.” Really disappointing. I really wanted to enjoy this meal but it was the worst Indian I’ve ever had. We ordered five different dishes and the only one that resembled real flavourful Indian was the tandoori chicken. The sauces had such strange textures and colours. The butter chicken tasted like apple sauce had been mixed with it, there was no depth of flavour and zero spice. In the end a LOT of food (and money) went in the bin.

We were greeted very pleasantly and shown to our table, Drinks order took and then boom it all kicked off... Phone ringing flat out for collections and deliveries, other tables arriving was fantastic to see. Drinks to the table and our order was taken.. Poppadoms and dips complimentary within minutes, and then our starters arrived. Mixed Tandoori starter and Raj kebab. They looked and smelt amazingly, and indeed, they were the flavours and taste were perfect and cooked amazingly.. Once eaten and plates were removed, all we could talk about was how impressive starters were.. Onto the mains.. Saffron special biryani and chicken bhuna with garlic cheese nan.

Disappointing. I’ve had Indian food all over the world and was expecting this to be the same, but both dishes we tried were very sweet and shouldn’t have been. It seems like they have altered the food for a less spicy palate, but if that is the case they should call it something different because we were expecting a normal chicken tikka masala and chicken korma and and what we got was very different.

We used to go here quite regularly when we had a holiday home in the area so this was our first visit in a couple of years. My wife and I's opinion is " disappointing". No poppadoms or dips to start ( they used to arrive immediately on the table in the past and other GOOD Indian restaurants still do it ). The food was fine - but not exceptional. When my wife asked for her unfinished meal to be boxed to take away, two empty cartons + lids + a plastic bag were set in front of her. DIY in the extreme and silly, short sighted cost cutting.

Food is not good. instead of grevy you just get tomato ketchup with paneer on any Paneer butter masala . Its very expensive. Mango Lassi was really bad where termeric powder was added to mango lassi for more yellow I guess!

Delicious food and a good, varied selection. Veggie options were fab... The staff were so friendly and service was very quick, highly recommend. Decor a bit dated and from the outside it looks more like a takeaway only - but definitley worth a sit down dinner.

I just ordered 5 minutes a Doner & regular portion of chips with sauce. They person didn’t tell me the doner come with chips. Then when he is paking the food he asked me to choose two sauce. I replied is it free with the doner? he said yes. While delivering the order he is asking me for 2 sauce price 3£!!!! I told him you said It's free before. Then I request to keep the sauces because I don’t need this. He replied I have to pay it’s not free!!!! This is so pathetic for me. What I will do with doner with chips & more chips with 2 extra sauce?? Please try to be professional & treat the customers as a clients. Don't just cut their pocket### #From a professional chef & customer
