Zafran Indian Restaurant in Neath Port Talbot

Great food, very tasty, restaurant needs a face lift, cluttered around bar area, good service and reasonably priced

Lovely food brilliant service even lent me his glasses to read the menu.!

Food was OK, as was the service. Only let down by a tired interior and absolutely minging toilets 😱

Great place for local Indian food

Had food tonight, everybody raving About zafron, I has special balti, was very bitter and sour, I asked for naga hot It was like soup abd sour. Spicey chips, literally chips raw onions couple of chilles and ketchup. Kema rice dry, no taste of anything. Chillie garlic rice. Garlic flavour nice no chillie spice, absolutely very disappointed, reminded me of my used to be regular where I live but it was worst than that! Shocking, will not return.

Beautiful food and excellent service from all the staff and especially Saylde, all the staff were amazing, thank you all Keith & Karen Harding

Amazing food with lovely staff. We will definitely visit this restaurant next time we are in the area.

The Sunday buffet is excellent, lots of choice to suit all tastes. The food is piping hot and constantly refilled. Staff are all very friendly. Highly recommended, definitely 5 🌟

Hosts were really friendly and looked genuinely happy and like nice people. They gave off a great vibe. We had take away for three people. Each dish was delicious!

Disappointed, service was chaotic, starters were still frozen (solid) soft drinks from bottles and were completely flat, toilets are utterly filthy with black mold everywhere. Shame as the team seem to be trying but just lacking something.

Tasty food , efficient service. The Sunday buffet is worth a visit.

Lovely place and service food is amazing

Very friendly and welcoming staff. The food was great!

another great meal on a monday night our new go to place to eat - best curry house in neath area !!

According to my taste, there is room for improvement: the meat in the chicken curries is not properly marinated.

Sunday buffet was pretty good, to be honest, tidy selection of food from spicey to very mild curries with all the extras on tap as well.

Point of contact 5 star Delivery 5 star Food 5 star

Excellent as always... didnt disappoint. Friendly and prompt service. Been to many different indian restaurants... keep coming back to the best.. whether uts a sit down or takeaway.

Fast service. Big lad with long hair treating the place like a front room. Food was overcooked and not good. Soft Drinks from a bottle, flat. Will not return.

Friendly staff, generous portions, amazing food! Lots of options for those who don't like super spicy curry too. Love it!

Bloody lovely food whole family loved it thank you. Keema nam was awesome!

Dined at Zafran's this evening, very welcoming atmosphere and staff. Wide range of food available, definitely would recommend and visit again 👍

Food delicious but keema naan not cooked through dough still mushy

We had a lovely meal and the staff were very nice, they couldn't do enough for you!!

A very nice enjoyable meal served by very happy people

Food arrived earlier than expected which was a plus. However, food was stone cold, chips were hard as if they were undercooked. Starters were either really oily, tasteless or just a tub of sauce. Very disappointed.

Came here with my gorgeous wife and her step mam this evening and it was absolutely delicious, customer service was fantastic. Thank you very much. Definitely recommend.

After looking forward for weeks for my visit , really disappointed. Service was slow , took over an hour from ordering for our meal to arrive at our table . Plates cold and food only warm at best . No flavour and very oily . Would not return. They were very busy with take away orders , but was not full with diners . This was on Saturday at 18.30pm. Disappointed and dissatisfied

Absolutely amazing, been twice now and both times have been great. Super consistent, and the food and service are perfect! Had a few dishes but the lamb was cooked perfectly, best Indian I’ve been to!

Takeaway first class staff more than happy to explain items well worth a visit 👍

Food was fantastic from the starters to the main course, the waiter was so attentive to our needs it made our evening perfect

Lovely buffet food for Sunday lunch, not to busy

Never fails to be of a high standard

Beautiful food. Balti and keema naan was delicious. Best Indian food around

Always pleased with the food from the Zaffran but first time visited here for the Sunday Buffet it was absolutely delicious such a good selection and everything had a temperature gauge in front on display.... good value for money .Also friendly staff would recommend .

Excellent food with amazing people. One more reason to visit Swansea again.

Haven't been here for years. The food was excellent! I had the lamb minted masala, spiced to around a madras spice. Top service too. Will be back soon I think.

The food was absolutely superb with the spices enhancing the food. The staff were really friendly and the service was quick. The bottle beer(Cobra) was nice and cold. A great restaurant to try for the spice effect and not the curry powder effect!...Top draw👌

Had takeaway numerous times and sat in once, no complaints whatsoever, delivery is always fast and food is always good, one of the best Indian takeaways I've been to

Very tasty, good sized portions.

Absolutely stunning food and amazing service x

Decent food, i had the buffet on sunday, and it's quite nice, but i prefer ordering a meal here, but I would recommend both.

The food is great and the staff are excellent, been a regular place for a family for many years.

Went here for my birthday meal, food was amazing best indian we have all had in a very long time. Service was a little average but they did give the a birthday gift which was lovely.

Absolutely horrendous avoid at all cost!! 8 of us went waited over an hour for our meal. Food came cold some didn't have their meal some was indedible and smelling rancid so had 2b returned never experienced anything like it!! They were overbooked and under staffed and they were more interested in putting food in bags 2b delivered than the sitting customers!!! I don't like complaining as know how hard they work but sometimes uve got to as the standard just wasn't there so get ur priorities right zafran and get back to being the quality restaurant you used to be...

2 hours waiting for main course, in which several other customers arrived, ordered, ate and left. When food finally arrived it looked rushed and slopped in the bowl, small measures and was bland and tasteless, keema naan wasn't fully cooked. On the plus side, there was plenty of entertainment from other customers kicking off through long waits for food and missed orders. Never again !!!

2 and a half hours of appaling service and tasteless food...2 hours for main course to arrive in which time other customers arrived, ordered, ate and left. Plenty of shouting from customers waiting and missed orders, to loud shouting from the kitchen. When main finally arrived it was cold, looked rushed in presentation and bland, naan bread wasn't even fully cooked. Never again !!

Great food as always. Recently updated lighting and decor so review edited.

A classic old school Indian restaurant well worth a visit

Fantastic price and great .Will go again

Great food, sevice and reasonably priced..

Staff were helpful and friendly, will definitely visit again 😊

My favourite Indian restaurant/take away. Have used this restaurant for many years and regularly go for the buffet on a Sunday. Just love being able to have a little of each from a wide variety of options. Yum yum

Food was good value and generally fine, other than one main course which was not what was ordered, but we definitely won’t be returning until the Food Hygiene Rating improves as it’s currently a 1 - “Major improvement necessary”.

Went for food at 22.00, closes at 22.30. wouldn't look at me and saying we r close

Always a favourite of mine lovely food good ambience nice staff

Staff were so helpful, my Daughter is Vegan and they were well advised on what she could have off the menu. Service was fast, and food freshly cooked. Would definitely go back.

Beautiful food and friendly staff. Cheers 🍻

I didn't feel I was that welcome, I was only customer in restaurant, great price I had chicken madras and piluo rice I found chicken was quite tough,the sauce was acceptable the rice was nice,as I live in car by the time I found somewhere to eat my takeaway it lost most of it's heat as curry and rice was served in plastic containers, would have been warmer if served in foil trays

Absolutely fabulous food - always in my experience. Staff very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended.

Fantastic meal great service really great staff 100% recommended

The worst & I mean absolute WORST food I've ever had served to me, couldn't stand the smell never mind eat it. I was in a large party who will never return. Abysmal food, begrudging service & a demand for cash only at the end of the night, well dodgy.

Brilliant food, 5 star service staff are amazing nothing too much for them to do. Highly recommend going there

Arrived for food for just myself, was greeted and told I can sit anywhere ! There were only 3 other tables booked. Soft drink ordered quickly and food which arrived within 10 minutes. Order, chips, plain rice, and Zaffron Special (very hot Curry) Meat was quite fatty on the lamb and some couldn’t be eaten for this reason. Toilets very small but otherwise a nice place and nice food.

had a takeaway saturday night . was absolutely disgusting. chicken was bone dry , curry was tasteless , chips dry and cardboard. onion baghee was solid and burnt. only good thing was chutney tray

Should have been 4 stars because it is time for a renovation but the food and service was so good that I put 5 stars with all my heart.

Unusually I didn't do any research before dining, I had ordered before looking! A mixed bag of reviews on here, recent reviews not great and the scores on the doors result .... To keep this short I had a phenomenal meal, with great service I would not hesitate to recommend this Indian restaurant, not just the usual Indian fayre but some dishes I've not encountered before. Worth trying like he'll to find somewhere to park.

Sorry, but this place is not what it once was. Table for 3, all plates chipped and dirty, food from buffet was luke warm and food dripped all over the containers. Drinks flat and stale and decor in serious need of a makeover. Won't be going back. Staff are good though, very pleasant and helpful.

Staff friendly and efficient. Always enjoyed dining in and never had the need to complain

Table of 4. Starters were great. Main meal, chicken on my dish so over cooked it wasn't edible, a lot of food was left. Drinks, flat coke, from a bottle I assume. Service good. Big built guy with long hair who works there sat right behind our table and had a very loud conversation on the phone, almost shouting for about 10 mins. He then did the same thing from the bar on the phone. Poor customer awareness. We have been coming for years but this last visit made us realise it's time to find some place else. Upon fb review they proceeded to lie about the times of the calls making out the restaurant was closed at the time.

Great restaurant, friendly staff and good vegan options, we will definitely be returning when we are back in the area :)

Very disappointing and totally inedible meals! Poor quality meat.....extremely fatty lamb (if it was lamb, and that is questionable) in the Lamb Bhuna, and when mentioned to the waiter, we were told that the chef liked to use fatty lamb in his curry dishes! 🙈 A total waste of £42 and both meals returned to the kitchen practically untouched! Seriously.....don't waste your money!!!

Very disappointing meal 😔 Myself and my husband had a meal here this evening having read reviews online. We had starters.......a Prawn Puri and an Onion Bhaji with a Chutney Tray and Poppadoms, which were okay...although not the best that we've had! Our main courses were Lamb Bhuna and Goa Chicken with Garlic Naan Bread. The meat (supposedly lamb) in the Lamb Bhuna consisted of 90% fat, and was totally inedible.....the sauce didn't even taste like Bhuna! The Goa Chicken resembled more of a Vindaloo.........WAY hotter than the conventional Goan sauce that I have had previously on many occasions (meant to be more sweet and sour) Again totally inedible, and everything returned to the kitchen practically untouched! Naan bread undercooked and doughy! Extremely poor meal and a waste of £42. When my husband mentioned to the waiter that the meat in the Bhuna was inedible, he was told that the chef liked to use fatty lamb in his curries 🙈 What can you say 🤔 I have given a 2* star rating as the Onion Bhaji was okay and our waiter was very pleasant! Seriously....Don't waste your money!

Buffet on a Sunday is always a winner with a fussy eater in the family. Extended times for buffets too!

Amazing food and staff are great, hidden gem and the Genie barman is super helpful, great evening

Great service, lush food, reasonable prices, highly recommended!

Visit this restaurant on a regular basis (have been for over 10 years) food is fantastic and staff excellent. Varied menu and good sized portions. Keep it up guys.

Delicious food, wonderful hospitality, a warm and welcoming restaurant! Service second to none. I cannot recommend this lovely place highly enough. If you are visiting Neath you must try it!😊

If you like Indian food, you HAVE to go here. Not only was the food delicious, the service was amazing. I can't recommend it enough

If you like bland, flavourless, dry, tough food, you'll love it! Staff are lovely, but the food is a massive disappointment!!

Visited yesterday evening a party of four Great food, fresh and tasty , prices are not too expensive, the staff are very friendly. Defiantly worth a visit, probably one of the best curry restaurants around.

Had a family meal for my sons birthday 17 of us , lovely meal for us all and great staff and owner. As to was my sons birthday they gave him s zafran plate. He was so pleased. As he's put it with his last one. 👍👍👍👍

Meal was awful, king prawns like old rubber boots, service not brilliant either, but quick enough to take your money, will not be going there again

Fantastic buffet every week. Even better menu.

Went for buffet, chips wher hard not cooked, spicy chips didn't get topped up for the hour we were ther, all mush and freezing cold, some of the starters not topped up the whole time we were ther, freezing cold, currys where luvly, service was good, staff very friendly. No lime pickle gutted, no tikka starter, gutted.

As always great food & lovely staff. My favourite Indian restaurant

Stunning food and plenty of thank you

Always been my favourite but it’s changed not the same! My take away was lukewarm to start. But I thought I didn’t mind because I was warming it up. Just didn’t seem fresh. Now I’m going to give it a miss.

Always good food and friendly staff.

Mainstay in Skewen for tasty Indian cuisine. Best in the area!

Lovely food and lovely friendly service.

Not fit for human consumption. far too much oil. never again.

Excellent food and good service.

food was ok, nothing special, jalfrezi is just a basic gravy curry & i had 10 green chillis added in for some reason? which is not what a jalfrezi is meant to be! very far from authentic, guess they cater for local tastebuds that have never had an authentic indian meal in their lives

The food is absolutely stunning, great flavours and really good size portions. Staff are very friendly and helpful, prices are very reasonable, well worth a visit.

Had the Sunday buffet today. Best Indian I've had in a long time. Outstanding

Fantastic restaurant, Staff are good, definitely recommend,

Food and staff amazing as usual. Friendly comfortable setting

Excellent Food . Work night out .. still keeping to covid rules ..service very friendly..Well done a place to try

Great food.Good service.A bit shocked to see people on another table vaping & none of the staff said anything.
