Saffron Indian Restaurant in Northampton

Ordered from deliveroo food was absolutely appalling the butter chicken was way too sweet and had coconut chunks and the food was very cold. My order wasn't right aswell never order from this restaurant

The food was exquisite and delightful for your taste buds!! The service is immaculate and couldn’t fault it one bit, staff is admirable! Thankyou for such a lovely time :)

They have done something very crafty and cheeky hoping none of you realise it, they have increased there menu items on just eat by a huge % we are talking a £2-£3 increase on some of them! I noticed this when I compared my last months order to this months order and noticed the total cost was a £4 increase (for 1 person) currently inflation is down, no recent increases so this is clearly them price gouging in the hope you don’t realise it, oh they also ignored me then I pointed this out to them, tells you everything you need to know. They also decreased the % discount from 40% down to 30% on just eat.

I have had about 8 takeaways via just eat from Saffron and I cannot fault them . The quality is consistently excellent and delivery is always quick , on top if that you get 30% discount which is an added bonus 😁 I guarantee you will not be disappointed!

The food was burnt (see picture) the chicken was rubbery, when I complained I was given a spiel about the chicken being cooked in a marination and so this is normal despite mentioning I was from the same heritage and this is not how food is cooked. The poppadoms were offered complimentary at the begining only to find at tje time of settling the bill we had been charged at the end. We were not allowed to order one dish between 2 people as a minimum spend which having eaten in maddhus and Indian restaurants this has never been the case. The service was poor and food/culterlt was spilled on us at the table. Finally they almost declined the BLC discount despite this being clear on their website and didn't really discount the food. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND, spend extra and head to MK if your local to northampton reigon.

Ordered for 730pm delivery. Had a knock on the door at 653pm. No where near ready to receive the food and eat. Driver states they ring if its going to be early but we have had no contact. Made a call to them to complain to be told they are busy and that's why it's early. So why wasn't it put behind the next order. Man on the phone was rude. Only put 1 star as can't post without it

Outstanding food, great service

Servers are totally not trained couldn’t get what we asked for not a better one the food isn’t great and stinky very bad experience

Small but nice Bangladeshi/Indian restaurant. Lovely food to suit all tastes. Go on a Wednesday and get the buffet option - starter, main,side for just £14 (at time of writing). Very chipper, comedic maitre d'. I had the mango chicken which was lovely.

Consistently good. Service always excellent.

Amazing food, lovely staff and atmosphere

Went for a family meal for a birthday, the food was average but sadly the bill was way more than we had expected. Over priced for what it was. We've been to many Indian restaurants in Northampton over the years and had many excellent meals and experiences but Saffron wasn't one of them. Just an added note, you respond to your many positive reviews however there are no responses to the less positive ones, would you not like to address your dissatisfied customers concerns/issues?? High prices for average food, I'll stay home and order in next time!!

No options for vegetarians and vegans

I'm here for the first time, and I'm impressed by the fantastic staff, delicious food, and reasonable prices. I'll definitely be coming back!

Great night out, with superb food... My guests and I loved it...

That place had fantastic food, friendly staff, and a really nice vibe. We ended up staying there until closing time. I would definitely suggest checking it out.

Excellent Indian restaurant, cozy atmosphere and the food was very tasty. Friendly service.

My family and I have been regulars here for years, and it never disappoints. The food, service, and hospitality are always top-notch. Definitely worth a visit.

The restaurant has a really nice decor, and the staff are super friendly. They gave us some good recommendations for our main course, and it was delicious. The atmosphere is really chill, so you feel comfortable and relaxed here.

Rana bends over backwards to make sure we were accommodated well and the food is always exceptional every time we visit.

Amazing food and service , couldn't fault it . Waiter was polite and food extremely tasty. Thank you.

This place is a hidden gem! Just had the lamb vindaloo and it was incredible. Perfectly balanced heat with complex flavors, the lamb cooked to perfection. Great portion size too, left me happily satisfied.

The food was absolutely delicious, great service by friendly and considerate staff. The atmosphere is calm and relaxing. Would definitely recommend

Came here for a date night and it was wonderful. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, the service attentive without being intrusive. We shared a vegetarian selection and everything was so fresh and flavorful. A real treat!

Never have anything bad to say about this place, everyone is welcoming. And they can’t get a better manager than Rana Rahman

We regularly use this restaurant on banquet night, lots of food, friendly staff and great value for money. I would definitely recommend.

Great place for Indian meal. Customer service was excellent. The food was very good and tasty and it came out very quickly.

Been wanting to try this place for ages and finally made it tonight. So glad I did! The peshwari naan was the best I've ever had - light, fluffy, and packed with sweet coconut. My palak paneer was divine, perfectly creamy and the paneer like little pillows of cheesy goodness.

Excellent takeaway experience! Ordered online for a night in and everything arrived piping hot and beautifully packaged. The butter chicken was a winner, the sauce silky smooth and the chicken melt-in-your-mouth tender. Generous portion of rice too!

Rana Rahman, the general manager at Saffron Northampton, embodies excellence. His dedication to customer satisfaction and team morale is unparalleled. Under his leadership, Saffron Northampton shines as a beacon of hospitality and culinary mastery. Highly recommended!

Perfect for a family meal! The kids loved the chicken korma, it was just the right level of spice for them. We adults enjoyed the chef's special which was a real showstopper, full of unique and exciting flavors. Great value for money as well.

Regularly eat here when we are in town. Always made to feel extremely welcome by all the staff as soon as we arrive. Great selection of Bangladeshi foods have never left feeling hungry. The mango chicken takes some beating. Not to mention they have an extensive range of gins.

A true taste of India! The menu offers a wide range of regional specialties, something for everyone. I had the Goan fish curry and it was incredible, the coconut milk adding a lovely creaminess and the fish cooked to perfection. A real taste sensation.

Wow! The best samosas I've ever had. Light, crispy pastry filled with a perfectly spiced potato and pea filling. The accompanying chutneys were delicious too, a real flavor explosion. A great start to what I'm sure will be a fantastic meal.

This place is my new favorite Indian restaurant! The service is always impeccable, the staff attentive and knowledgeable. They even helped me choose a dish based on my preferences and it was spot on. Can't wait to return and try something new next time.

Delicious food, great service (thank you Mr Rahman), in this beautiful restaurant. The Bangladeshi Chicken and Mango was more than I could eat. Cubes of chicken in sauce, slices of mango - what's not to like! My friend had Lamb Passandra, another Bangladeshi dish, which had the most delicious sauce and slices of tender lamb. I look forward to future visits.

I hit up Saffron in Northampton a bunch – the grub's unreal, staff's super nice, and you get your money's worth. The menu's got awesome choices, and the drinks list is solid too.

Had dinner with friends here. The waiters were cool, helping us pick out some tasty dishes. The food came out hot and packed with flavor. For sure, I'll be coming back for another round.

Excellent food and the service from Rana Rahman! He gave the best recommendations for food and we have a wonderful meal! The restaurant is a vibe - very contemporary. Easy parking and again excellent food and service! We are visiting from Chicago and we really loved the food.

This place is just awesome. Great food, great drinks, and the service is top-notch. I'm definitely making a return trip. Perfect spot for a night out with your significant other or even the in-laws. It's a guaranteed good time.

When you step in, the restaurant gives off this warm vibe. The team is super friendly and knows their stuff, happy to walk you through the menu for a great dining experience. The food is top-notch and really good bang for your buck.

For the past few years, Saffron has consistently provided excellent service, a pleasant atmosphere, and delicious food. The menu is interesting, offering delightful flavors. I wholeheartedly recommend it to everyone! It's a place where you can always expect a great experience, and I can't wait to share more enjoyable moments there.

Amazing food, quick service and such a lovely environment !! Rana Rahman was a really attentive server and we had a really nice evening in the company of all the workers !!:))))

My wife and I decided to visit Saffron for a pre-theatre supper, dining at 6pm. We were warmly welcomed by the staff, in particular the general manager, who showed us to our table and was attentive the entire time we were there. The restaurant itself is very-well presented and exudes an air of quality without being 'stuffy'. It is clearly very popular locally because by the time we left just after 7pm, it was full. We opted to have a main course only, plus a couple of side dishes. The only real challenge was deciding what to have because every dish sounded great. I chose a chicken dish which was described as a healthy option because it didn't come with a sauce. Nevertheless, it was still very moist and delicious - a good choice. My wife chose achari lamb - absolutely lovely! These were accompanied by a very tasty saag aloo and an equally-taste daal dish which my wife enjoyed so much, she asked for a doggy bag so she could finish it for lunch the next day! Add to this the generous size of the glassess of wine my wife had (I was driving), and we came away two very happy (and very full!) customers. Small warning: Saffron is very much not your 'run of the mill' curry house, so just be prepared for a bigger bill But it's worth every penny.

Very disappointing if you are a vegetarian. My husband and I each had one of the vegan options and with your eyes closed you wouldn't be able to tell the difference between them. A bland, non spicy generic sauce with some vegetables/lentils thrown in. The onion bhajis were bland but were a nice texture, the vegetable samosas were ok and the peshwari naan was stodgy. The tarka daal was lovely!! I had a beer and my husband had a soda and lime and the total bill was over £70 which was extortionate. Needless to say we will not return.

I loved having dinner at Saffron. Place is clean, service is excellent. Food is awesome.

Saffron is the ‘go to’ Indian restaurant for my myself and family members. Was here again last night with my son for pre-theatre dinner. Very clean and tastefully decorated with a very nice ambience. The food is always very tasty and served in a timely manner. The whole team are very polite, friendly and welcoming, service as it should be which is sadly lacking in many other restaurants. A special mention for Rana Rahman who is always very witty and entertaining! Thank you Saffron !!!

Our fav. Indian in Northampton - we come every time we go to the theatre/cinema. Good and service are always really good.

Tried Saffron for the first time tonight. Friendly and polite staff, managed by the wonderful Rana. Very clean and beautifully decorated. The food was amazing, served quickly and efficiently. Perfect. Will definitely go again.

Great food, 10/10 service from Rana, can’t wait to come back, whole family loved it - food came fast and was amazing - would highly reccomend

Had a lovely mothers day meal here with my family! The food was fantastic and the service was top tier! Rana was our server and he was fantastic, Friendly and has a great sense of humor! Would recommend eating here! 10/10

A genuine 5 star experience. A little pricey but the food and the service was exceptional. Rana the manager made us very welcome and even made us an aubergine side dish which was a highlight. The menu is interesting with some novel dishes. They can also make things that may not appear on the menu. Nice fresh herbs and spices. One of the best overall Indian meals. Would recommend for a special occasion. Lovely friendly staff.

I have been eating Indian food in Northampton for 35 years. So decided to try this Restaurant being advertised as Northampton's best Indian I was very disappointed. Chicken Tikka was yellow and tasteless unlike any I have had before. The Madras Curry was just hot with no flavour at all . Chicken Tikka masala was watery cold and Chicken was tuff. Mushroom rice was great. But that is the only good thing I have to say. Also very expensive. £73 for 3 meals.

It's a pleasant place with polite staff, and good food. But sadly overpriced.

We walked in as a family at 10:30pm, closing time is 11:30pm. The guy at the bar was quite rude as if he has to pay to let us in. The food was the worst ever Bangladeshi food I have tried in the UK. We were a Indian family and despite ordering just enough for us we left the food because it tasted stale. I wonder how they served us the food within 5 mins of the order, we ordered from chefs specialities. Overall double priced bangladeshi (not Indian) food probably fit for English pallets only.

We always get takeaway from here, quick delivery, excellent food and helpful staff. Highly recommend!

I recently went to dine here with a friend and let’s just say this will be the first and last time I go to this place. The pricing of the food is ridiculous for example a naan bread and pilou rice are £6 each and their portions are tiny! When mains are priced on average of £17 for a standard curry is not worth it at all. As for the service, the staff are very blunt but very pushy when it comes to tea/coffee/desserts in the end like they couldn’t take no for an answer the first time they have to ask over and over again..overall the food had many faults and the staff think they are something special when they are a standard typical Indian restaurant :)

Got Uber eats tonight and all can say I'd this isn't the same saffron it was 6 months ago food was barely hot, rice overcooked, naan extremely dry and chewy! The masala had barely any sauce flavour was also questionable really disappointed! Will be going to elsewhere in the future for out Indian food

Some amazing food with amazing service driver forgot my coke but quickly dropped it too me food was lovely lots of empty plates and full belly’s thanks guys

Best curry and whole restaurant experience I think I've ever had, food was excellent, drinks good, service was excellent too, couldn't do enough for you. Finished my meal off with a cup of masala chai, delicious. Definitely recommend.

Someone suggested this restaurant, and man, am I glad I checked it out! The food is seriously amazing – so fresh and flavorful. And the service? Top-notch. Definitely worth a visit; you won't be let down. I'm definitely coming back for more.

We're regulars at this joint – our usual spot! The staff is super friendly, always recognizing us. The food? Oh, it's a delight, and the vibe is just lovely!

This place has been our go-to family spot forever. We've been regulars here for as long as I can recall. The grub is consistently delicious, and the servers are always warm and friendly. Totally recommend it!

Food is great, very filling, and truly enjoyable. The service is fast and friendly. The prices are fantastic, making it a great value for money. I highly recommend it and will definitely be returning for more!

During my recent visit to Turtle Bay Oxford, I must commend the excellent service provided by staff member Courtney. I was thoroughly impressed with the food, drinks, and overall service. I would definitely recommend it;)

The flavors are well-rounded, with light and fluffy breads and delightful salad and vegetable garnishes. They always provide a courtesy poppadom and pickles. The selection of food is great, catering to everyone's preferences. I would highly recommend it to anyone! It's a diverse and enjoyable dining experience.

The food was very tasty; I ordered the half chicken with spice fries and a side of plantain. It was delicious and flavorful, and the drinks were amazing. You won't regret coming here! The overall experience is a delightful one.

Best Indian restaurant in town, staff are friendly and manager is great too, worth a visit fantastic food

Decided to give it a try after reading positive online reviews, and we were not disappointed! The service was excellent, creating a nice atmosphere. The restaurant interior is clean, tidy, and warm, maintaining high hygiene standards. It was a pleasant experience overall, and we'd recommend it to others.

The food is amazing and unique, bursting with flavor and authenticity. It's well-priced, and overall, I would give it a 5/5 rating;) I can't wait to go back for more! The experience was fantastic, and I'm eager to return.

Over the past couple of years, Spice Roots has consistently delivered excellent service, a great atmosphere, and fantastic food. The menu is exciting, featuring mouthwatering combinations of flavors. I highly recommend Spice Roots to everyone;) The experience is always top-notch, and the diverse menu is sure to please.

Fantastic food amazing service I highly recommend a visit Special thanks to the manager Rana for making a really enjoyable night .

Visited this place for a work meal Where to start ... Let's start with the service walked in, and the manager had a face and attitude on. The waiter likes to think he is a comedian and is not funny what so ever, if anything confused the order and wasted time. Now let's start on the food We ordered a variety of 8-9 dishes Not 1 dish was nice in taste or flavour !! Was absolutely gutted how poor the food quality is and how Limited the menue is, after a very long time I have been to a place to eat with such poor food taste and quality. Very very small portion which are ridiculously over priced ! The naan was tiny and again really poor quality not fluffy as a naan should be. The tikka masala has coconut milk in it ? The jalfrezi is just a normal masala with a bit of veg thrown in The chef doesn't even know 5he ingredients to the curries The rice was soggy and flavourless I didn't have one thing that actually tasted nice I would not recommend this place to anyone This is the most honest review I could give about this place

Had a fantastic night, food was amazing Service was outstanding special thanks to Rana who made the night special .

food is very tasty, and the service is friendly and great. The entire experience is reasonably priced. Highly recommended for a satisfying dining experience!

Fantastic meal, the volcano named for a reason 🥵 MO and the team were brilliant, will be back again. Thanks guys.

food is delicious, the service from the waitress is fabulous, and the atmosphere strikes a perfect balance—vibrant yet intimate enough for great conversations with friends. Thank you, we will definitely return, for sure. WELL DONE!!!

It's worth giving it a try—never disappoints me. Although my family leans towards the scallop gratin, it offers great value for money. I'll definitely be going back!

I've visited a few times, and every experience has been delightful. The service is fast and friendly, the food is amazing, and the prices are great. I can highly recommend it, and I will definitely return for more enjoyable visits!

food was excellent, and the service was commendable, especially considering the staff member handling reception, phones, orders, and serving. The dishes were presented in special utensils, and the portions were generous. I would definitely recommend trying it if you're looking for good food.

Had a fantastic experience! The food was amazing, the restaurant was clean, and it had a relaxed vibe. I plan to come back, and they should consider opening more places. They offer delicious options for both vegetarians and meat lovers! It's a place that caters to everyone's taste, making it a must-visit for a delightful meal. Can't wait for my next visit and hoping for more locations to enjoy their tasty offerings.

Recently had a meal at this restaurant for the first time, and it exceeded our expectations. We both tried the Chicken Tikka Masala, which turned out to be the best I've ever had. The naans were also delightful, not thick and doughy like some from other places. Looking forward to ordering from here again. Thank you!!!

While the regular menu can be pricey, the lunchtime menu significantly reduces costs. Looking forward to coming back soon;)

Enjoyed great food, especially one of the chef's special Nepalese spicy dishes, and it was delightful. The service was quick, the place was clean, and the prices were reasonable. Couldn't recommend it enough.

Consistently, they provide excellent service. The menu is filled with many good options, and the staff is always friendly and attentive. I've returned multiple times and plan to keep going back for more delightful experiences. Looking forward to many more visits in the future!

food here is surprisingly fantastic, boasting a unique and authentic menu. The staff is excellent—friendly and attentive. I highly recommend it, and I'm definitely planning to come back for more delightful experiences! Can't wait to explore more of their amazing offerings.

Just tried this place for the first time, and I must say it's the best curry I've had in a long time—really tasty! We ordered a Chicken Tikka Madras and a Chicken Tikka Rogan Josh. The Garlic rice and naan were also amazing. I would certainly recommend this place for a great evening meal, and when we visit next, we will be back;)

Personally I feel this is very expensive for what it is the chicken was very tough and not to my taste was celebrating a birthday everyone else got a pudding with a sparkle we got nothing will not be returning 😞

Everything was superb—quick service and very friendly staff. Had a fantastic experience at this restaurant on a Monday night. It offered good value for money, and the food we ordered was absolutely delicious. They are at the top of our list of recommended restaurants in the welcome pack

I've visited twice, and the food was delicious on both occasions. They offer plenty of vegetarian and vegan options, and the service is excellent. I'll definitely return!

Every meal I've had here has been excellent, cooked to a high standard, and well presented. The staff is always lovely and attentive. The cozy and friendly atmosphere is enhanced by the relatively small size of the restaurant. I believe this must be one of the best restaurants around;)

Visited for the second time after a long while, and it's still fantastic. The place is cozy, the service is excellent, and the food is amazing. I can't recommend this place enough. It's truly top-notch!

It was very quiet, but it was a Monday evening. Nevertheless, the food and service were excellent. We will certainly revisit the next time we're in the area;)

We came for a last-minute family meal, and I'm thrilled they could accommodate us. The staff is very friendly, the service is efficient, and the food is simply delicious:) Looking forward to visiting again

This place is truly delightful!! The staff was incredibly friendly, suggesting the best dishes and portion sizes for our group. Every item we ordered was delicious, arriving quickly and fresh from the kitchen. They offer plenty of vegetarian and vegan options, and the service is excellent too! Highly recommend!

This restaurant is a definite favorite of ours. The service is consistently excellent and friendly, and the food is truly fantastic. Every dish tastes fresh, and they strike a perfect balance with the spices. It's a place we genuinely enjoy for its great service and delicious offerings. Can't wait to return for more delightful experiences!

food was fantastic, cooked with fresh ingredients. The staff was exceptional and really attentive. If we lived here, we'd definitely go back. I suggest it to anyone looking for delicious food and outstanding service. Can't wait to return!

We had an amazing meal in Northampton! The menu had a modern take on Indian cuisine, and it lived up to the good reviews we read. The staff was really friendly and made our experience even better. The food was always delicious, and we can't wait to go back on our next visit.

On my third visit, and I'm already eager for the next one. Despite always being busy, the service is consistently excellent, and the food is consistently really good. Definitely a place worth revisiting! Can't wait to return for more enjoyable times.

A friend recommended this restaurant, and it lived up to our expectations. The food is excellent, and the service is friendly.
