After waiting over two weeks for my partner to be in a curry mood, it finally came one Saturday! Pulling out my bookmarks, I told him to pick a place and The Saffron House it was. A quick call to make a reservation and we were on our way.
Reception was warm upon arrival and not long after settling into our seats, our drinks order was taken. When my partner’s beer arrived, I was advised that my Rose Lassi would take longer as it was made to order. Sure I was happy to wait for a fresh glass of lassi and despite the barely detectable rose flavour, it didn’t disappoint.
As we snacked on the complimentary pappadums and dips provided, the venue got busier by the minute, assuring us that we picked the right place considering the distance we’d travelled.
Whenever I think Seekh Kebabs, tender, moist meat with bursts of spices and aromatics come to mind; all of which unfortunately fell short in the ones we had here.
Towards the other end of the spectrum were our trio of curries so splendidly executed! With some beautiful cohesion of spices and heat, they were simply luscious and robust from start to finish! Never a moment did our Mixed Vegetables, Goat Meat Rahra or Pepper Chicken detract any flavours from each other, instead forming a bond so well knitted.
Be it with some Saffron Rice or Naan, they didn’t fail us one bit and the naan was the fluffiest we’ve ever come across!
All night long, service was attentive and courteous. When asked how our meals were, I reckon our beaming and content faces said it all.
The place is simple and welcoming to dine at. We went for dinner as a group of 7. The service is quick and the food is delicious. We ordered onion bhaji for starters which was amazing. Paner kadhai, dal makhni and aloo gobhi with butter naans was served in good quantities. Even though the gobhi wasn’t cooked properly, the rest of the dishes were satisfying. Overall a good place to have a date night or dine out. I have also tried the pepper chicken, madras chicken and chicken biryani here which is highly recommended.
Uber Ate from Saffron House tonight after a LONG working day. We’ve done the take away thing once before and we’re impressed by the quality. Tonight we had our regular butter chicken order, this time with a 1/2 tandoor chicken, samosas and rice. I enjoyed the vegetables samosa which was quite mild and the tandoori chicken was nice and tender. Loved the flavour of the butter chicken but they could have been a little more generous on the actual chicken quantity. Overall a tasty meal for this tired office worker.
