Saffron Indian Restaurant & Take Away in Lichfield

Excellent meals, massive portions and the staff are great well worth the money and the wait yummy from start to finish

Thank you for amazing service and super good food would recommend the Sunday buffet deal 👌 make the popadom prices clearer though

After travelling back from holiday, the last thing we fancied was shopping let alone cooking. My husband is very picky about takeaways and would rather eat porridge than revisit some of the takeaways in the past but seeing the reviews of Saffron I talked him into giving it a go. Got lost walking through the door and ended up in the hotel but I missed the door but once we found the bar we were greeted with a very warm welcome. This is definitely a hidden treasure! We decided to eat in rather than takeaway. The service, you couldn’t ask for better. I was having a hot chilli moment, my husband was choking on poppadom and he rushed over with 2 pint glasses of water without asking. The food was amazing, tasted just how it used to in the 90’s, full of flavour. Just the right amount. Will definitely be returning and even my husband asked for a takeaway menu!! So please owners, don’t change if you get really busy, stay just like this because this is by far the best Indian restaurant in Tamworth.

This is more of an up market Indian restaurant.the food was delicious and the chef very attentive and considering freshness and quality not expensive.very quiet night when we visited so go while you can as I am sure will become busy as the word spreads about a new place to eat.hope they can maintain standards,you have to try the onion Bargy never had one like it almost the size of a tennis ball. Role on pay day so we can visit once more

Genuinely a delight to visit. Ample seating and an excellent and diverse menu. We had mushroom bhaji, chicken tikka, saag bhaji and Tandoori prawns. It tasted fresh, piquant and delicious. The table staff were attentive and eager to please. The dishes were ample in size and reasonably priced. Interestingly, you are not confined to the restaurant to eat your meal, if you fancy eating outside in either the garden area or in front of the pub, you're more than welcome to do so. The restaurant has only been open three months, so get in now, before it gets well-known and fills up! At the moment it's a lovely place to eat fine food!

We (me, DH eldest daughter and tiddler daughter who is 2) thought we would give Saffron a try in Fazeley. It is situated within the Plough pub, which had previously been a Tapas bar but we had seen that it had changed to an Indian restaurant and thought we would give it a whirl. Turns out to have been the BEST move we made :)We arrived and were surprised to find that for a Friday night they were empty so had choice of tables. There was plenty of space with seating and some offered outside, which was nice given the most recent warm weather and the inside fully air conditioned so very comfortable. Service was very quick and polite offering poppadums and drinks while we waited which took very little time to arrive. We usually order what is called a Fusion from our usual curry house, which is rather than one curry, half and half of your choice from the menu. This wasn't actually an option but the chef was more than happy to make this up for us so that we could try a variety of food. We had between three of us - chicken tikka saagwala, chicken tikka bhuna, chicken tikka pathia, chicken makhani, chicken chocolate massala (yes chocolate and it was lovely), chicken tikka dopiaza with two vegetable rice and a plain boiled rice with plain naan. Tiddler had her usual chicken tikka starter, which went down well as usual. All of the chicken was moist and tender, full of flavour and the sauces to DIE for! There was a lot there to eat but so nice, nobody could face leaving anything on the plate. We paid and for all of that (two dishes had extra chicken), two pints of cider, four pints of Coors light and it came to £55 which was considerably cheaper than the usual place. Service was very friendly and swift and the chef was lovely. He came out to speak to us before food and we asked to thank him after our meal as we had enjoyed it so much - top bloke :) Highly recommend this place in fact we will be back there this weekend to try something else! Happy eating folks x

Best curry around the Fazeley area or even Tamworth the onion barges are the best I’ve tasted around all authentic food and very friendly staff

Amazing restaurant, very friendly service and lovely staff, food is amazing and such great value for money. Definitely recommend this to everyone that loves their food. Stunning place. Thank you, we will be coming back soon

Amazing curry best around Tamworth definitely the only one I will be going to from now on staff are do accommodating

The best Indian meal I have had in a long time, the service isn’t rushed as the chef cooks everything fresh and you can definitely tell the difference. I had the chicken Pathia which was excellent and reminded me how curries used to taste in the 80’s & 90’s. Fas the chef is passionate about his food and will explain everything on the menu. Highly recommend!

Not been open long hence lack of reviews, however the food is really nice. It’s our 2nd visit in 2 weeks and we don’t normally eat curry. I must say they do the best onion bhaji’s ever. The staff are very friendly and service is great. Looking forward to visit number 3
