Saffron Indian in Plymouth

This our local Indian take a way. Food is always lovely and tasty, cash only Staff are very welcoming Highly recommend

Possibly the best Indian takeaway in Plymouth. Saffron is our only goto Indian. Never had a bad experience, food is amazing, and so are the staff.

This is our go to indian and we're regulars because it's always nice but Saffron completely outdid themselves last night! Unfortunately I didn't get any photos because we were too busy scoffing our faces but credit where it's due, it was sensational. Everything was piping hot and you could just tell that it was all completely fresh. I usually have the butter chicken and it was just pure creamy velvet and my partner has the garlic chicken and said it's the best he's ever had. Onion Bajis were crisp and to die for, starters were that tender, the chicken just fell apart and the delivery man was lovely. Our only tiny pet peev was that the nanny bread was very hard and could do with being softer but it didn't stop us eating eat. 5 stars Saffron, well done! Xx

Best Indian food in Plymstock that we have encountered. Tried others in the area but always come back to them. Often use delivery service and staff are friendly. Sometimes you need to order early on busy weekends, but that's because they are in demand, which is a good sign, right?! Highly recommended.

Order late by nearly 2 hours, No warning ⚠️ about being late, also the was rude on the phone, when we called about asking when why order was late. Food was alright just took too long. When they say a time they should be on time but nearly 2 hours late is an absolute joke

Ordered multiple meals, all looked different but tasted the same. Garlic naan had the texture of a cardboard box, very disappointing. Only positive was the yellow sauce that was very tasty. Unfortunately will not be returning.

The food is excellent and the staff are very friendly.

It’s a shame because the service is good. I’m disappointed with the food unfortunately, it wasn’t bad but not good enough compared to other places. Portion size is good but curry lacks flavour and not enough vegetables and variety. Shame.

Food is always lovely always very hot and staff very nice

This place is brilliant. The people who run it are lovely and the food is excellent. I popped in after the gym as I was driving by. The customer service was friendly and so very helpful. The food to my mind is second to none. For sure the best I have ever had in Plymouth. Highly recommended.

Ordered for the first time ever using the website. Delivery was quicker than expected and driver was lovely, ordered tandoori mixed grill which tasted amazing and piping hot on delivery, keema rice was so good. Every item was perfect will defo order again after such an amazing first time with saffron UPDATE just had our second takeaway from Saffron, ordered exact same food but this time the meat in the mixed grill was awful, tough, overcooked and not much flavour, so disappointing, the keema naan was decent but not as good as last time. Pilau rice was dry. Poppadoms were good and the mint sauce but that's about it. Delivery was still good and driver friendly but food so poor.

I could never in good conscience recommend this Indian take away shop. I love Indian food and have had a variety. The food we received was bright red (chicken Tikka masala) and bright yellow (chicken korma). Both tasted exactly the same, douced in sugar, no hint of authentic Indian spices - we couldn't eat it. Honestly, it tasted like candy with artificial coloring. We wiped off the sauce and ate the chicken with sauce from our kitchen. The egg rice did however have some good flavours. And the poppadums were crunchy and moreish.

Absolutely gorgeous curries can't beat them.

I’ve ordered from Saffron at least twice a month since moving to Plymstock. The family that work there are incredibly friendly. The portions are not stingy- even in the cost of living - inflation rising era. It’s always hot and Tasty. Under appreciated gem Indian.

Really quick delivery, food hot when it arrived and some of the best curry we've had for a long time! The naans were so thick and kormas really really good, wouldn't highly recommend and will deffo order again.

Very disappointed. Ordered Chicken Tikka Masala. Sauce was bright red, tasted very of coconut (new one on me for Tikka Masala), spices non existent, chicken tough and never been near a tandoor oven first. I asked for gluten free - was assured it was. Trust me it wasn't! Popodoms and Onion baji was good. The kebab starter inedible.

Consistently good. Really nice phone service, always arrives quickly, and amazing flavours from every dish. Not only is this the best takeaway in Plymstock, but possibly the best in the city.

A completely unacceptable wait for food that tonight was average at best! In fact average is being kind!

The best Indian cuisine ! The food is fantastic ! Amazing family run business very authentic and delicious flavours. I see the reviews on the time for delivery , they’re clearly in high demand due to the quality of their food , just pick it up if your extra precious over time then you’ll get to see the open kitchen cooking your delicious delights

The food here is absolutely delightful and I enjoy it regularly. This is a business I want to support and will always order whenever in the area. My favourite dish is their tandoori chicken main, however I also really enjoy a chicken tikka masala with a keema naan bread . They’re a very beautiful family who care deeply about providing outstanding service and food . Couldn’t recommend enough . Big thanks to you all :)

Ordered at 6pm. Was told it would be between 60-90 mins. Still waiting 3 hours later and was told that 'it was on the way' but couldn't tell how long it would be.

Cooked fresh in front of you very tasty friendly staff reasonable prices could do with taking cards .

Disappointed with meal tonight, generally order from Saafron and love it but tonight mixed kebab starter was awful :-( lamb was sooo chewy and not good at all) wanted to leave review on Saafron website but wouldn't allow because it was below 5 stars 🤔

Simply the best! They also deliver for free as we are so close. Nothing but love for Saffron!

Fantastic curry (chicken takeaway massala) lovely naan bread. Chips tasted like re fried leftovers. We ordered at 5pm and ate at 6pm

Poor online service, 3 hour wait is ridiculous. Won’t be trying again in a rush if that level of service is normal

The food was good but the lamb meet was too hard to eat, it was mutton. Maybe that's why the price was identical to the chicken when normally the lamb is more expensive.

We have been using this takeaway for a while now. Very friendly owners good food vooked in full view

Lovely food, best takeaway we have had in a long time. We collected our order and didn't have to wait long, but some of our family ordered for delivery and waited over 2hrs, they had to call to make sure their order hadn't been forgotten.

We had a tikka and a korma, and poppodums. Great food, can't complain, nice portions, nicely priced, plenty of choices. The girl on the desk was so friendly and helpful, the only reason I haven't given 5 stars is because it's still a cash only business, a little bit of an annoying but other than that great all round.

The food is first class and delivery is good highly recommended

Have been ordering from here for years and it is always great. I’ve eaten Indian food all over and at different price brackets and Saffron ticks all the boxes. My favourite is the naga chicken 😁

We were told our food would be delivered at a certain time, had to call an hour after the time it was due to find out where it was. Were told they were just packing it. 30 mins later it turned up, it was cold!!! So disappointing!!! Wont be returning anytime soon!

Will never go back. Upset tummy for 2 days after here.

Was promised my food would be delivered within 2 hours. Waited 2.5 hours and ended up having to drive and pick up as when I rang they said it would be at least another hour! The girl on the phone was rude. To then be overcharged by £20! Should have been £33 and we were charged £53! Only realised once I was home and added up my order. When I rang back the same girl did not seem bothered at all and stated “if our till is up you can have it back if not you can’t” Once they had cashed up they said the till was only £10 up and that was tips they had (over the whole night, between all the staff, on New Years Eve?!) If they are that desperate to steal £20 off a customer they need to make blatant lies up about tips then they can keep my money. This is about the principal for me. I asked them to check the cctv where they would have clearly been able to see my boyfriend count out the notes individually, they claimed they don’t have one. I am absolutely appalled by the dishonesty and lack of customer service!! They have lost a loyal, regular customer in me, not to mention people I tell and people reading this which you’d think would mean more to a business than this. Utter disgrace!

Rang to order food at 5.30pm and was told to come at 7pm to collect which we did... By 7.30pm we were still waiting so had to enquire what was going on, all we got was a sorry mumbled. 7.45pm and we had to ask again how much longer it will be - our threat of wanting a refund and cancelling the order was the only thing that prompted them to start cooking our food which we still didn't get until gone 8pm. There were so many other customers waiting around it was rediculous, too many people there to make it Covid safe, plus they only accept cash - again not at all Covid safe! I understand there are busier days and times, but if you can't provide the food in a sensible time frame don't just keep taking orders!! Anyway what we were finally given was not worth the wait. Half of it was cold, the naan bread was so soggy it was actually soaking wet and all the chicken dishes tasted like they were made from those frozen bags of pre portioned cooked chicken you get at a supermarket... Not nice, we had to pick it all out! Overall very disappointing.

Another really tasty meal. Highly recommended.

Lovely food. I was told to order from kukd but just eat delivery charge is one pound cheaper. Naan breads have gone down hill a bit. Gutted they are closed Tuesdays.

We ordered two curries for delivery last night. Knowing it might be busy as it's a saturday night during lockdown, we ordered early, at 5.30pm. 2 HOURS LATER the curries still hadn't arrived. We phoned and the person we spoke to said they were being cooked right then. 20 minutes later we phoned again and they were apparently still being cooked! We cancelled our order as 2.5hours is just too long to wait for a curry!

Had a lovely takeaway from the Saffron last night. Food was fantastic and staff really friendly. Thanks guys. 😊

Always lovely food here and brilliant service. My go to Indian takeaway! Free local delivery which is also a bonus! I like the fact you can see the kitchen.

First Indian takeaway for over a year as I don't eat many taka ways. Ordered via the on line menu which was quite easy and worked efficiently. Portion sizes were good and food delicious.

Excellent food and great customer service. It’s great to get a veggie curry that uses a wide variety of fresh vegetables.

We had a take away on a cold February evening and it was great. Fresh and hot we will definitely be using again

Third time we have used this takeaway faultless again great serve and food we would highly recommend

We have had a couple of takeaways from Saffron now & have always been impressed. The service is excellent & the food is absolutely delicious. We would highly recommend.

Delicious food, quick delivery, recommended. I usually have the Korma and it's delicious. The onion barjee's are to die for.

Better than paja raj in my opinion

This is my favourite place to get an Indian takeway, I just love the korma and the onion bhajis with the sauce - yum.My grownup DD now lives out of their area, so invites herself round to ours for a takeway, just to be able to have their Chicken Korma.We have had nothing but good service from them and the food is always lovely.Why go anywhere else when this place is sooooo gooooood!

Pedí una comida para llevar de Australia. Se lo entregué a mi padre en Inglaterra, cerca de Plymouth. Fantástico servicio! Comida increíble. Lo entregaron rápidamente, a pesar de que Kukd. com (a quien lo ordené) me envió un correo electrónico para decirme que estaba fuera del área de entrega. ¡Muchas gracias Saffron por una comida deliciosa para mi papá y por entregarla en una zona muy rural, literalmente, sin luces ni señales!

Food arrived after an hour and 20 minutes, 40 minutes later than told. When it did arrive it was cold and barely edible. Very disappointing.

I order from here every week, it's the ONLY shop in Plymouth that makes a hot enough phall. Always polite and friendly whether I pick it up or have it delivered. Keep up the good work guys, Love from Batman

The food was gorgeous. Seemed to be freshly made. Ordered online and picked up and it was ready when I arrived. Very friendly place.

Service was fair and the food was tasty

Esta es la primera vez que uso este lugar, y definitivamente no será la última. Fueron altamente recomendados y no decepcionaron.Simplemente una comida fantástica, excelente relación calidad-precio, cocina muy auténtica y muy sabrosa. Entregados a tiempo, me llamaron para decirme que se iban a entregar, la comida estaba caliente, todo correcto.Muchas gracias por una gran comida.

Ordered 2.5hrs ago... Still waiting. Have to be up for work at 5.30 so won't eat it tonight now. Waste of a Saturday night. Won't be using again

What would I like to do at the end of my birthday weekend?

As visitors to the area we didn't know where to go for a takeaway so read a few reviews and found Saffron, pretty much, on the doorstep. The food was cooked fresh and tasted great! We ordered online and collected which was convenient for us and were surprised to see an open kitchen, that was bonus as we could see the food being prepared.

Visiting family in Plymouth this week for the fireworks. For 6 of us we opted for the set meals for two and three to give us a good choice. Portions were great and we could have easily fed 2 more. A good choice of dishes from a mild to a hot curry starters, poppadoma, nans, rice. It arrived as hot as it left the kitchen and delivery was super quick even though it was a Thursday night at 6pm. Excellent value at just under £10 each. We will definitely use again when we visit Plymouth.

Always use this takeaway for Indian food

Consistent top quality food. Best Indian in the area by a way.

This family run takeaway, where everything is cooked fresh, is the only place to go if you really love Indian food. The staff are happy to offer suggestions or make alterations for people who may prefer one thing over another.

Very nice family. Always get a smile and freebies

I only live around the corner and yet it's the first time I've had food from here. I'll definitely be going back, great selection of foods and if everything else tastes as good as my first meal then it'll be superb

We order take out delivery via just eat at 19:00 knowing they would be busy as it was a Friday and were given a delivery time of 20:20. That time came and went. Waited a further 20 minutes before calling them to then be asked if we could wait a further 30 mins for our order place at this point nearly two hours ago.

Use to be my favourite, now I will not order from them again.

Food arrived LukeWarm and the prices have all gone up a considerable amount!

Brilliant service and amazing food every time

Good food, friendly service, reasonably priced...offers takeaway and delivery only, no dining in but worth a try

Food is nice, but took forever to get to me. I was told an estimated delivery time of 22:15 by just eat but the food didn't arrive until 11. Had to call twice to get an update on where my food was. The first time they said 15 minutes, but even this took another 40 minutes. All we got by way of apology was two cans of coke.

This place is so unreliable and they make continuous false promises of delivery after countless calls and it still doesn't turn up! Appalling, just appalling!

Ordered food at 2100 on Just Eat. Said it would come at 2215. After two calls it still hasn't turned up. Said it would be here within 15 minutes on the first call. It's nearly 2300 and still nothing. Wouldn't recommend at all.

We got chicken biryani, daal, lamb shatkora and naan bread. The food was already, a little bland. The price was decent.

Primera vez tratando este para llevar, pedimos una selección de comida a través de la página web simplemente comer, nos dieron un plazo de entrega del pedido. Luego recibimos un correo electrónico diciendo que sería 10 minutos más tarde no es un problema, ya que vivo en un pueblo a pocos kilómetros de distancia. Nuestro pedido llegó en el tiempo original y la huele que venia de la orden habían dispuesto a probar. Disfrute de la comida en porciones más grandes que nuestra tienda de comida para llevar. anterior Pedimos 2 entrantes para compartir, 2 comidas principales y 2 montones de arroz para el marido y yo, un plato de arroz y para nuestra hija. Cuando comimos la buena sabía tan bien como olía con cada plato teniendo su propio sabor, de nuevo nuestra última tienda para llevar todos sabían similares. Estoy muy contenta de haberlo intentado Azafrán como este uno en el futuro. Mi esposo también es feliz ya que suficiente quedaba para su almuerzo de mañana.

I came from London so wanted to try the local Indian that was two years ago I haven't been back since

Este era nuestro lugar de elección, pero hemos vuelto a Papa Raj debido al hecho de que nos gusta más de platos ahora está mejorado.

Me sorprendió harto trabajar hoy después de comer la comida que nos ofreció!

No es frecuente, pero cuando lo hago publicitario quiere un hindú para llevar este es donde voy. Siempre fresco, siempre una gran relación calidad-precio y siempre muy amable y cortés. Puedes ver los ingredientes y oler las especias que se usan en la suya y otros alimentos y es limpio, no varían si no está roto, no lo arregles" no aventurarse más allá de mi delicia comida.

This is a very good takeaway lovely and clean and very friendly food always fresh hot worth a visit I like it and iam fussy

Always my first choice for a cheeky takeaway 😀

Siempre tuvimos buenas comidas de aquí nunca quejas una pena que vivir tan lejos de ella! Elección habitual de Pollo Tikka Massala-jeera muy agradable en ocasiones un korma también muy bueno. Yo creo que lo que diferencia a este para llevar aparte de los demás es el servicio, siempre amable, siempre herramientas en extra poppadoms no me puedo quejar, dirigido por una familia por el aspecto de lo que hace toda la diferencia.

Tenía mi primera comida para llevar desde aquí la última noche, estaba bien, pero tenía unas cuantas preocupaciones. El Tikka Masala era tan rojo, sólo creo que este podría haber sido de los colores. Los disquetes eran sabrosos pero popadoms y muy oscura. En general, fue un aceptable curry.

Amazing food and service order again best takeaway ever had

Usually fantastic food however the service I received on the phone this evening was disgraceful. After asking for a meal for one and to change the main for another I was then told I couldn't change pilau rice for boiled rice as I was only allowed one change. I said this wasn't a change as such and would be much less trouble for them. The person was pretty rude in her manner and as such I've told them I won't be ordering again. Disgraceful. If they can't even bend to a simple request for which I offered to pay extra they don't deserve a good review.

hi i called today to order a meal for the first time they said it would be 20 mins and it was all items in the bag .food was very tasty. only problem they dont take cards you can get cash next door for free but i think everywhere should take cards now. i would use this indian again

Super tasty food, really friendly staff and reasonably priced. Highly recommended.

This is our favourite curry house in Plymouth. Great food, selection and prices. Order takeaway from here on a regular basis and find it is always delivered on time if not early.

I orgered Chicken Pasanda and it was heaven. Really enjoyed it. The staff were very friendly. Had to wait 15/20 minutes but was well worth the wait. Food piping hot and plenty of it.

Ordered on Just Eat and was told it would be 1hr 20mins delivery time. I am now up to 2hours 20mins and food still hasn't arrived despite a phone call to chase.

Hot and tasty, worth every penny.

While staying near Plymouth Yachthaven we felt like somethiing spicey.Thanks to just eat we found Saffron Indian. Looking at the menu I spotted the set meal for one which came in at around £12 . We opted for this as it seemed like an awful lot of food for one, and plenty for two. I was right we couldn't finish it all and it was delicious. On that basis I would certainly give the restaurant a try when we return to Plymouth next year.

Hansom best takeaway restaurant evey clean and lovley food

Beautiful will never go anywhere else now!

I had food from hear last night and all I can say about it is it was spot on. Delivered within the allotted time and it was lovely the meat was lovely and loads of it. Will definitely use again.

Awesome meal and very reasonable prices. Thanks guys will be back soon x

Awesome meal and very reasonable prices. Thanks guys will be back soon x

This is the 2nd time we've ordered from here. Throughly enjoyed and delivered before the estimated delivery time!
