Saffron Kitchen in Waltham Forest

We recently had an extended family meal at Saffron Kitchen, including kids, and it was a good experience. The food was full of flavour with plenty of options to suit everyone’s tastes, from the little ones to the adults. The portions were very generous and reasonably priced, which made it great value for money. There’s lots of space inside, making it a good choice for small events or family gatherings. The staff were friendly and welcoming, which added to the relaxed atmosphere. To get the best experience, I would recommend booking in advance and coming a bit earlier to avoid the busier times, it can get quite lively. Overall, definitely worth a visit if you haven’t been before!

Came here for a family dinner, Staff were very attentive & polite. Atmosphere was great however the food itself was very disappointing & over priced. Noodles didn't taste fresh the chicken in them was hard & chewy, the haleem was stodgy & the pani puri platter & masala chips were average. I won't be going back !

I absolutely loved Saffron’s Kitchen tender meat, with really well seasoned rice. The butter chicken is amazing, workers are somewhat friendly and the food is impeccable. Service was rather snappy, the atmosphere is great, toilets and other facilities were squeaky clean and smelt pleasant. Although the dessert for me was quite hard, I had a cinnamon sugar donut with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. It was tasty, honestly no complaints about it other than the temperature and the texture. I ordered a scoop of mango sorbet and weirdly enough tasted like olives or something of the sort? Other than that, the main meal is incredible. Will definitely be coming back!!

Service was great,butter chicken was okay my wife said it was bland and my kids hated their meals and said it was too chewy and they got the kids tender meals and my teen is really picky and only eats off the kids menu because he only likes tenders and he couldn’t eat them because of his braces and he was starving because he couldn’t eat it and after we had to go to a pfc shop to get him a nugget meal. I am disappointed because we used to always come here before Covid and it was great but after it all changed

Great atmosphere, decor and service. Food continues to disappoint. Ordered a mixed grill, 2 garlic naans and a keema naan, and wings. Keema naan was dry and keema tasted old. Wings were very small, over cooked and again tasted dry and lacked freshness. Lamb chops tasted good, ribs were soft but too much sweet BBQ sauce. Chicken tikka, leg and kebab were the best parts of the grill. Drinks bumped up the bill. Will not be coming back. Saffron Kitchen is much better.

I went on Eid with 27 family members, all prebooked 3 weeks prior, and no issues. Didn't have to wait around. The food was brilliant, with no complaints. The mocktails drink jugs were brilliant. Food came out a bit slow, but that understable as they were extremely busy, but overall, I was happy and would visit again.

Food here is amazing, very tasty and the atmosphere is always great. Only negative is they are extremely pricey.

Top quality Indian food everytime. I'm Bengali so I know good south Asian food. Compared to anywhere else, this is consistently great food. More on the pricey side, but worth it. Best thing to go for is butter chicken and garlic naan. Never disappoints. Plenty of parking at the back and the food comes relatively quick if it's not busy. Plenty of uniformed Staff is always around to help.

I would strongly recommend avoiding this restaurant. The service was absolutely terrible, with the staff being incredibly rude and impatient even upon arrival. When I asked questions about the menu, they acted as though my presence was an inconvenience to them. The worst part, though, was how disrespectful they were—at one point, the waiter made a nasty comment about my friends size, which was completely unnecessary and hurtful. You would think that you weren't paying for a service. I’ve never been so embarrassed and upset in a dining experience. Not only was the food subpar, but the toxic atmosphere they created made it an experience I’ll never forget for all the wrong reasons, leaving a bitter taste in my mouth. If you value respect and decent customer service, save your money and time and avoid x The people around us had their bills paid at the table and the rude waiter who fat shamed my friend insisted we paid at the till.

I am writing to express my deep dissatisfaction with my recent dining experience at your restaurant on 31/03/2025. unacceptable level of service and the disrespectful behavior I encountered during my visit. We arrived at the restaurant opening hour 5:00. Upon arrival, the service was immediately off-putting. The staff was incredibly rude and impatient. We asked for a table for 2 and said we don't have a booking. Bare in mind that the resturant was not full the man screamed “SUBAHANAALH, on Eid day”. When ordering I asked questions about the menu, I was made to feel as though my presence was an inconvenience to them. The experience only worsened from there. At one point, the waiter made a completely unnecessary and hurtful comment about my order size claiming that because we were two people we ordered too much. This kind of behavior is not only unprofessional but deeply disrespectful. We were sat in a closed tight space which meant that the other customers sat beside us also heard the comment made and asked us if we were ok because that was casual fat shaming comments being made. To make matters worse, the food was subpar, and the toxic atmosphere created by the staff left me feeling embarrassed, upset and uncomfortable to the point where we just wanted to leave. When it came to paying for the food, the people beside us had their bill and card machine brought to them meanwhile the waiter demanded we went to the front desk to pay. It was an experience I’ll never forget, unfortunately for all the wrong reasons. It truly felt like I wasn’t paying for a service, but rather being made to feel unwelcome and uncomfortable in a place I expected to enjoy a meal. If you value respect and customer service, I would strongly advise you to reconsider how your staff interacts with customers.

Little bit hit and miss. Bhuna gosht was nice on a previous visit but not so good on a return visit yesterday. Meat curry seemed to lack seasoning.

Reasonable priced. Masala chips and biscoff fried chicken was elite. Lamb biryani was good too.

Unfortunately the place is no longer a 'go to' place for us. The food is now below standard and everything between the chicken lollipops, paneer and masala chips tastes like its all tossed in the same sauce. The chops are just so poor for what they charge for 4 pieces. The lamb and chicken Biryani is also poor, and the chicken pieces are tougher than old boots. Lamb pieces were soft but lacked any real flavour. The lamb curry was the highlight, the prawn was a miss as it tasted like cheap frozen Prawns. The chicken 65 noodles were a joke, the chicken pieces were so tough and definitely not fresh. Mango lassi was quite good but mocktails were just unmixed syrup in lemonade. Most certainly won't be returning again after another disappointing visit. Also the waiter taking our payment was annoyed because we asked him to split the bill in two payments. Grow up mate.

Saffron Kitchen – A True Gem for Bangladeshi & Indian Cuisine I’ve been to Saffron Kitchen multiple times with friends and family over the past few months, and every visit has been an absolute delight. The food is consistently amazing, the service is top-notch, and the atmosphere is warm and inviting. The lamb chops, lamb ribs, and lamb shank are a must-try—tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. Their Samosa Chaat is the perfect starter, bursting with spice and tangy goodness. For mains, the lamb curry, chicken curry, and chicken biryani are cooked to perfection, rich in authentic flavors that truly stand out. And to finish it off, the milk cake is simply divine! One of the best parts about Saffron Kitchen is the private dining rooms, making it perfect for family gatherings or special occasions. Plus, the convenient parking at the back is a huge bonus. Every visit here has been an incredible experience. Whether it’s their delicious Falooda, the amazing Thali selection, or their warm hospitality, Saffron Kitchen never disappoints. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for the best Bangladeshi and Indian food in town

Amazing food great service, I have dined and the resturant and have been to events held at the venue.

V standard food. I nearly had an altercation with the owner if it wasn't for ramadan and I was not fasting. Terrible service as I had to ask for dates and had to wait for my food.

Recently visited Saffron Kitchen for Iftar, and as always, it did not disappoint! This is one of my favourite places to dine, and every visit is a great experience. The food, the vibes, and the excellent customer service make it a top spot for me. One of the standout features of this restaurant is the prayer room for both males and females, which is really convenient. They even provided us with complimentary fruit, which was a nice touch. What We Ordered: • Masala Fries – Perfectly cooked, soft, and full of flavour. • Lamb Chops – Tender, flavourful, and cooked to perfection. • Lamb Ribs – First time trying these, and they were amazing—soft, juicy, and tasty. • Butter Chicken – Rich, creamy, and delicious. • Garlic Naans – Freshly made, soft, and the perfect accompaniment to the mains. • Strawberry Mojito Jug – Refreshing and great for sharing. The food was freshly cooked and packed with bold flavours. Every dish was well-prepared, and the quality was top-notch. Saffron Kitchen continues to impress with its great food and welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommend it for Iftar or any occasion!

The food was nothing short of extraordinary, bursting with exquisite flavors that danced on our palates. The spices were expertly balanced, making every dish enjoyable even for those who typically shy away from heat. However, an air of discomfort lingered as the staff fixed their gaze upon us throughout our meal, creating an awkward atmosphere that overshadowed the delightful dining experience.

Visitamos este restaurante cada vez que estamos en la zona. La comida es preciosa y el personal es muy amable. Muy recomendable.

Food is delicious. Excellent service

Disappointing with the standard of service and food quality at the original Saffron. Food wise, ordered the mixed grill, lamb ribs, murgh biriyani, chicken jalfriezi, prawn tower, masala chips, tenders kids meal and lassi and popadoms AND can’t forget the butter chicken. Mixed grill, chicken kebab was AWFUL, so dense, hard to cut through and dry! Lamb chops, you guys used to do the best lamb chops, now it’s bang average, such a shame! Tasteless flavours on everything apart from the ribs. Murgh jalfriezi was not ‘jaal’ at all, popadoms were fine but what is up with the condiments, how much more do you wna water them down? Standards man, completely dropped! Lassi was good, didn’t try the biriyani myself so can’t comment, kids meal tenders were thigh pieces coated in fry mix but coating was too hard. Chips were undercooked but really golden in colour but the kids didn’t mean it. The BUTTER CHICKEN though, DAMN man! We ordered two portions and sadly both were really poor. We took one portion home as we couldn’t enjoy it and maybe we should have said something but you’re in Saffron Kitchen, you just expect it to be good not bang average! Again, used to be the best chicken around but wouldn’t order that if we went back. Masala chips always good and nans were nice and fresh. Service wise, I mean it was a Wednesday night and not that busy and we had to get up and ask for service which wasn’t they great. Price wise, not good enough if you can’t get the food right and charge high end(ish) prices for the location you’re in not good enough. Real shame and such a let down! (Prayer room always a hit, do like this)

I've eaten here several times since my first visit both dine in and takeaway. The food in this place is absolutely gorgeous, I couldn't wish for anything better. It is, however, so expensive. But that's all pakistani/Indian food cause the ingredients are expensive, so it does come with the territory. Order this with like 5 people so you can each spend 20 pounds but get enough food for each of you.

Went there for a quick meal. We were running late so reserved the next slot when the lady over the phone said they cant keep our table for long. Once in we were seated half hour before our slot anyway which was nice. A few server came straight to the table for orders and we had to ask each of them for some time as we didnt have a chance to look at the menu. We ordered. They served most things promptly. My friends drink took forever to reach but I assume they forgot as she reminded them. We ordered noodles, king prawn khadai, biryani, lamb chops, butter chicken, masala fries, nan and drinks. Everything tasted nice and the lamb chops were literally melt in your mouth. The prawns were tasty and took half home. Masala fries tasted a bit different to its usual flavour. A bit more tomato ish this time round. When we went to order desserts, the chocolate samosas, we asked for three orders. We know theres two small ones given with ice cream. The one star removed was for the way the waiter looked at us like we are ordering too much and made us feel greedy. He later said that he was trying to save us money but when asked as a joke is he calling us fat he just raised his eyebrows. The moment was really awkward like we didnt know if we should order less because he told us to. In the end we got the three orders just to prove he was wrong and we ate it very easily. Its the way he borderline made us feel so greedy and then said its to save you money. He could have advised us in a way and asked how full we were to recommend us to share if we would like instead of staring at us with big eyes like he was shocked three people were ordering a dessert each. It is very busy so be prepared to wait or reserve a table. Parking behind is big but on rainy days, there are so many puddles and mud so be careful with your shoes. Overall was good. Just the one waiter making us feel uncomfortable.

Great food!!! Amazing service and atmosphere was so welcoming. Didn't feel rushed. Food was on point and portions were larger than I expected for the price.

Overpriced for an average curry. Crinkle cut carrots appeared to be from a reasonable frozen veg pack. Disappointed, not worth the money.

Love the food here. But a bit pricey.

WOW! i have to say one of the best. i do work in hospitality and deal with different caterers very often but i have to say Saffron Kitchen is something else. we had our staff party and to give our chefs a break from cooking we decide to go with Saffron Kitchen. every team member enjoyed the food and service. normally its very difficult for a person who has been in hospitality over 20years to say that someone has done a great job but i have to say they did. delicious food and service. we all enjoyed it. once again thank you :) from everyone @GCR

Gorgeous food, great service and they even have a prayer room. We were seated in a private room and had a great experience. Highly recommend.

Food is below average, service was okay, but expensive according to food quality and taste l.

Food ok - you will get the same in your high street for half the price. Bill for 2 people and a baby came to £97.00 (inc drinks on separate bill). Baby had just chips £5. Decor - extremely tired, especially toilets they were digusting with blockages and dirt. There is also a draft going though the restaurant, it was a cold day. Service - not once did waiter come on their will; we had to call them every single time, to order, to take our food, to add drinks, for ketchup, not once did they come on their own will except when bring the food. When we left not one good bye or thank you from anyone and we walked past about 3 waiters who were stood still. Chicken wings - cost £9 and look how small they are in the pic, it was just bones they were so small and they smelt so bad that we didn’t eat them. When we told them they simply offered to make more, they should have offered to take it off the bill, that is the service I expect when I pay higher than average prices. Instead the chef came to our table aggressively and said no one else had complained without even checking our wings - they had a really bad smell I bit into 2 that had same thing. Overall really disappointing experience, the butter chicken was nice and malai tikka. but honestly Nothing else was anything I would go back to eat again. Most our our food was left, we took the butter chicken home but left everything else it was not worth it. This is an honest impartial review from someone that knows his food.

A nicely decorated modern restaurant offering a variety of food for everyone. Mix grill had a good mixture of meats and dall makhani was fantastic the waiter even added in chopped chilli’s upon request. Had the fried lotus ice cream for the first time and found it a bit too rich but luckily shared this with someone else.

The food was okay, the lamb bhuna was really good but the masala chips and rice weren't that great. The decor was really pretty and the servers were great. We went on a saturday night so it got quite loud at times but generally okay.

Fantastic service and Fantastic food.

Asistí a una boda con catering por Saffron Kitchen. La comida era deliciosa y el servicio también era genial. El arroz pilau era simplemente maravilloso maasha Allah y me encantó el chai! Un agradecimiento especial a Naz por asegurarse de que estábamos contentos con todo. 🌷

İt was very very good to eat here.

The staff is welcoming, the dishes are made from scratch, and every bite is simply delightful and worth the investment. I frequently visit with my family and we always have a great experience. :) ********

Best Indian food. Has lots of flavour and tastes very fresh

Loved the food, atmosphere, decor and service. The food was delicious and I think the price was fair. Highly recommend.

Before I even saw the building, I knew it would be good. The air was thick with spices. Outside, there was no one to be seen. But once I stepped inside, the resturaunt was full of people. My meal was delicious and came out quite quickly. Excellent dining experience

I have been here a few times with friends and family in the past couple of months and I have to say the restaurant is excellent. Food has always been consistently good as well as the service. I recommend trying the lamb chops, the lamb ribs and lamb shank. Also parking behind the restraunt is very convenient.

Great food! Flavours are amazing , have to try this if you're in London.

Great place to eat Meat came sizzling hot; great service!

Been going to Saffron for over 10 years and the food as always is quality. I recently visited after about 2 years and the price has almost doubled in many dishes. The butter chicken is now £16, which I remember was 8-10 before. Unfortunately with the price, the portion size seem have also decreased. Ordered butter chicken and there weren't much chicken pieces as it was before. That aside, the food is still quality, service and decor is 10/10 for me, however as the price has reached another level, it will not be my regular anymore. It be more of an occasional visit. Unfortunately like this joint, many places have put their prices sky high ...

Mi colega me sorprendió con un viaje aquí después del trabajo y me quedé impresionado. Tuve un King Prawn Kadhai extra caliente y fue realmente delicioso! Las porciones son tan generosas. Nunca había visto tanto paneer en un plato como el entrante de paneer de chile. Todo fue perfecto. ¡Qué gran sorpresa después del trabajo!

One of the best, fully halal places to eat in London! HMC certification, prayer facilities which is more than just a rug in the corner and lovely staff. The food itself is varied and just excellent quality. I don't know what else to write other than come here, eat and enjoy!

The food here is incredible! A great variety for food and flavour is always 10/10. The only food I wouldn’t go for again are the birria tacos as they were quite oily. Service is very good and atmosphere incredible.

I’m still in good coma after 4 hours. WOW. I’ve had a lot of Indian food and I’m so glad I was introduced to this restaurant. From the moment we walked in till the moment we left the staff were so friendly and accommodating. The service was spot on, the flavor of the food I cannot begin to explain that every dish was punching with spices and each tasted so different. The lamb chops were to die for. 10/10 you guys. Oh and the mango lassi I couldn’t get enough of. I’ve worked in hospitality for a long time and have friends who are some of the top chefs around the world and I will definitely be bringing them to you, thank you so much for a wonderful experience

I was invited there for dinner and the host was ordering appteizers, food and dessert and to my surprise each food item served was better than the one I had before it. I was in awe of how delicious an Indian restaurant based in London could be!! Absolutely loved the taste of each item. My favorite was butter chicken !!! I was so full but couldn’t help stop eating that scrumptious food! Highly recommend it Also watching the waiter make masala chai was a treat to the eyes!

The service, staff and food is impeccable, plenty of free car parking which makes the journey to the restaurant desirable. I go to this restaurant with my friends and always highly recommend to friends and clients.

Always reliable, prawn jalfrezi is my go to

Great atmosphere and a very nice place, the employees are really good, the food order came quickly despite the busyness, everything is great, do not go without a reservation.

Nice Asian food with variety of different flavours

Always a lovely experience when dining here. 10/10!!! Highly recommended.

I had gone to this restaurant about a few years ago and had the worst experience. I have an allergy to nuts and specifically asked them about any food items that had nuts so I could avoid them however after eating I had quickly realised that one of the dishes had nuts as I had broken out into a severe rash even though i was told that what i had ordered had no nuts. Despite my bad experience with this restaurant I had gone back yesterday and again had an allergic reaction to one their curry dishes that is not listed as having nuts on their menu. This is a severe problem and extremely unacceptable. If you have an allergy to nuts or any other allergy I would not recommend eating here as their dishes are clearly contaminated and they do not take any precautions when dealing with customers with allergies. This is a very serious issue as some people have extreme allergies that can result in death. I have never been to a restaurant with such bad service i would not recommend going here to anyone and will not be coming back.

Overall such an amazing atmosphere the food was delicious and the staff is super friendly

Delicious good. Beautiful restaurant 😍

Everything things excellent food was very tasty service very fastest and lovely atmosphere 😀

Came a little early for my reservation but was not turned away. Lovely experience and surprisingly fast service for what we ordered. Definitely recommend it.

Starters were tasty but mains were disappointing, dampukht biryani had no taste and chicken jalfarezi was below average.

Gone down hill. And we were rushed by the staff to leave as there was a booking. However the time for the food to be served took long so we didn't have much time.

Great service booked the wedding hall upstairs for my sister Nikah and what amazing food, the service was amazing but the cherry on top was the lamb chops and masala chips ahahha. Special thanks to Naz who was the event manager and made everything such a smooth process highly recommend food and hall was amazing

Really beautiful place! We were provided with a private room, for starters we had Samosa chaat which was delicious and for mains we had lamb curry and chicken curry and chicken biryani which was really tasty and for desserts we had a milk cake. Will deffo recommend this place :)

My family and I recently dined at Saffrons this weekend and spent over £300, the food was awful apart from the masala chips and the chaat platter. The mixed grill, noodles, masala fish were almost burnt and very salty. Food was tasteless, this restaurant has gone very downhill ans I won’t be going there again.

I booked a table at Saffron Kitchen for a certain time however I was late by 30 minutes due to a lot of traffic. When I arrived at the restaurant I did apologise for being late however the owner or family friend (wearing glasses) that was manning the kiosk said that he cancelled our booking because we were late. I asked if there was a table available and he went on to say let the rest of you’s arrive and then we will see. At this point we weren’t promised a table so we had to wait in the waiting area. The man that spoke to me came across arrogant and rude and I didn’t appreciate the tone and the behaviour towards me and family members. I basically got told off for coming late to the restaurant and I no longer felt comfortable so I wanted to leave but because I had my elderly parents and children who were with me and were hungry so decided to stay. The restaurant wasn’t so busy that we had to wait for a table, the whole of the restaurant at the back was empty so we could’ve been seated and ordered the for everyone. There was another family waiting next to us who experienced the same hospitality. We ordered our starters and mains which was served to us half burnt so some of the kids ate burnt food! We are paying a lot of money for the food and only to receive burnt food. The quality of the food has gone from bad to awful, they have changed their recipes so many times and it is only getting worse. The only dishes that were good was the samosa chaat, dahi puri, masala chips and the mix grill was ok but not great as it was quite chewy and burnt. The mains; daal, king prawns karahi, achari gosh, masala fried fish (totally burnt) was terrible. This will be my last visit at saffrons kitchen. Please take the criticism on board as we were a big group and we weren’t happy with the food nor the service although the waiter was nice. I’m afraid I will not recommend the restaurant to anyone because I wouldn’t anyone to experience what my family and I experienced so I will give people my honest option.

Absolutely stunning venue, food was beautiful!

Booked a table for 8 of us. Saffron Kitchen had previously been our go to place for special family dinners however as time has gone on, the quality has declined and we were thoroughly underwhelmed by this experience. - Smaller meat pieces in the curry and a lot of curry sauce at an increased price. - The lamb biryani was just rice and lamb and they’ve used a type of rice which is not as flavourful/poorer quality. It’s like the rice was stuck together rather than being separate grains as you expect with good quality basmati rice. - They’ve changed the jug for the lassi so it looks like there is more as it’s a taller jug but it’s actually less lassi than before. I gave 2 stars because the peshwari naan is delicious and very soft and not overly sweet but £6 for a naan?? You’re having a laugh. Can’t fault the service, staff is very attentive.

Best restaurant ever I’d recommend pani puri Somoza chaat butter chicken mojito milkshake yum I love it all noodles 🥰🥰every time I go it’s a new experience I love the mouth watery lamb chops ❤️❤️❤️❤️

This Review is for Saffron catering and their wedding hall - Delicious food, customer service and decor. The evening was managed to the highest of standards by Naz who was accomodating and patient throughout! Highly recommend.

Booked a table for 6 people on a Saturday 7:30pm, 4 adults and 2 children. Waited for almost an hour for the food to arrive, which is appalling. When I enquired how long the food would take, another waiter came to our table to take our orders again until I had explained to him that I had already ordered. The waiters were friendly. I ordered a mixed grill, lamb biryani, butter chicken, masala chips, naan and some chicken tenders for the kids along with some mojitos. The food was absolutely average at best and I don’t know why so many people rave on about this place. The mixed grill is very pricey for a very small portion, biryani just had meat pieces and not enough rice, also tased very basic. The butter chicken was ok and the masala chips were just soggy red chips that smelled of vinegar. The naan was good and soft and the chicken tenders were awful, tasteless and hard. My kids usually eat tenders any where that we go but they literally avoided these tenders. The mojitos were not good at all and the glass had a lot of ice, clearly the drink quantity is low and full of ice and lime slices to make it look good, probably around 200ml. This place is very pricey, the waiting time is appalling and the food quality and portions do not justify the price. I don’t know why people love this place so much. It is average at best and I don’t think I will be eating here again unless someone is paying for my meal and I have a lot of time to waste. I know of better places that have better quality food, are reasonably priced and far lower waiting times.

Lovely experience at Saffron! Attended a cousins wedding at Saffron. Beautiful food served, salmon, Mongolian lamb. Starters, main, desserts were just amazing. Naz was incredible at managing, so personable and friendly for us at our table. Every event needs a Naz! From managing schedule, managing food and pictures, she was so lovely at accommodating us at Saffron banqueting

Nice food, beautiful decor, lovely function room for hire. Car park is absolutely massive 👌🏻. The only reason for not giving five stars on this occasion was the state of the upstairs venue toilets. Smashed up units, lack of cleanliness, it just looked as if someone completely forgot this actually exists in their building.

Great service, all the waiting staff are helpful and patient. Food is tasty, chicken lollipop was nice. Daal gusht biryani is enjoyable. Kids meals are good quality except for £8, a drink would be nice. £16 for a pot of butter chicken is eye watering when it should simply be mouth watering. Milkshakes are actually decent. Strawberry mojitos are very small, maybe 250ml only. All in all, a reliable and enjoyable dining experience in a very busy restaurant which would be great if it wasn't priced so high. You'll really only go there for a celebratory meal.

This week we visited saffron kitchen for a wedding event. We were in awe of the look of the venue and the food tasted amazing right from the starters through to dessert! The chilli prawns were a huge hit! The service was outstanding, we could see that the guests were very well looked after. When requested, the children were given plain ice cream for their dessert without any hesitation. The event manager looked to be available when needed and nothing was too much for her! A great evening overall. Would highly recommend the food and venue for any events.

Absolutely loved it. You gotta go. Wheelchair Accessible.

Always love the food at Saffron Kitchen. The service was a bit slower than usual but the restaurant was packed so completely understandable. We'll always be back.

Been here with family and with friends. Great food!. Great service!. Great atmosphere!.

Great place, atmosphere and food.

Not recommended at all. They are expensive and bad in service. £8 just three fish finger literally. Is that joke?

Love food here, always delicious. They have good parking facilities aswell.

Very nice place,the staff were very friendly and attentive and explained what the dishes were as we weren't familiar, the food was hot and good portions. The food didn't take long to come And the masala fries are lovely. There were 6 of us, and the meal was for a birthday 🎂 and the boss was happy fir us to bring the cake in and sing happy birthday. So I will be going back 🙂

Very nice food. All varieties were rich in flavour & taste

Dam ka ghose was the best among other dishes. Others were OK. Staff and manager very polite and took time to explain dish.

Avoid it Not worth it !!!! ⚠️ They don’t pick up the phone when you turn up they make you wait A ridiculous Amount also police, we asked if they could store a birthday cake in the fridge they said they didn’t have one. apparently lying to my face and most important the pricing is ridiculous just because their restaurant is working, it doesn’t mean they rip us off honestly, I would avoid it. Go to Ilford somewhere. You look at your money worth

Nice ambience but average food. mixed grill was burnt.

I went here for a wedding engagement ceremony. The rear of the restaurant was hired out. The Staff were attentive. The menu provided was great and the size of the venue was nice enough to host 50 people. Good location with ample parking at the rear of the venue which was free to park. Should you visit the restaurant try the buttered chicken, lamb chops and their famous masala chips.

ordered the lamb shank and Chicken 65, food was awful had no taste at all actualy sickening. ended up taking it all back in a doggy bag the best part of the meal were the drinks. Gave the manager feedback but clearly he was not bothered and just said i will talk to the chef. not going back to this place ever !!!

Grill Chicken was nice. Must try it.

Really nice food and service was good. The restaurant was nicely decorated and seating was comfortable and not cramped. A good family day out and suitable for large groups of people.

Good food decent pricing and large option.

Everything about this place is 5*, from the service to their food, to their very polite and friendly staff.

honestly love this place but it's so far for me. we always go on special occasions the food is great and portion sizes are good.

Amazing halal food Amazing staff Amazing everything Just go.

Long time customer. Have not dined in, usually takeout. Always very happy with our orders from Saffron Kitchen!

The kids chicken and chips had been refried and was extremely dry which made it unedible. The chow mein 65 smelt old and the chicken was dry with no sauce and while eating it I found a diamonte which to me it looked like it had fallen off someone’s fancy clothes and made me question weather this was someone else’s food which had been reheated. Very upset with this experience as previously me and my whole family love coming to this restaurant but this genuinely made us feel sick. I expect a high standard when paying so much for my food.

Food quality is good, service courteous & atmosphere vibrant.

Great place. Highly recommended.

We came for a wedding event the hall was nice and clean very welcomming,food was great nice n tasty.service was ok until a dhaka lady refused to give a extra plate.there was a choclate fountain with no plates or Bowls so We used one from table.when I asked for another she refused and said sorry We already given plate.We had to use tissue to clean some choc off the plate n use it for main food.if it wasn't someones wedding n I wasn't the guest , I would of taught her a lesson.

Great food and service, pricey.

Best Indian restaurant in London. Chicken Jalfrazi is the best

My experience at Saffron Kitchen Lea Bridge was average, earning a three-star review. The restaurant had a pleasant atmosphere and the food was decent, but the service was lacking. The waiters had poor communication and customer service skills. Upon entering, we weren't asked if we were dining in or getting takeaways, and had to wait about 10 minutes before anyone approached us, despite the restaurant having only a few occupied tables. When I requested a Garlic Chilli Cheese Naan, willing to pay an extra pound or two, the waiter refused, stating they were too busy, which seemed unreasonable given the few customers present. While the food was satisfactory, the subpar service overshadowed the experience. Improvements in staff training and customer interaction would greatly benefit Saffron Kitchen.
