Pad Thai and the duck is sensational, all the curries are very good as well.
I didn’t like the papaya salad, it’s not very sour or spicy, not a very authentic taste to me.
The service is a bit slow. We sat upstairs and no one would come and take our order. Other then that, it’s great

My Favourite Thai restaurant in bayside
Consistently tasty , and great service every time
MUST ORDER : Gang Kari Gai
this delicious treat is featured on the AGFG for a reason . It is creamy , with great flavours tender potato and well cooked chicken . Topped with crispy onions
The red and green curries are awesome with both fish OR chicken protein . Luscious gravies that arent oily and greasy on the palate.
A local favorite for Thai food. Excellent flavors and large portions. Standard has slightly gone down since restaurant changed ownership but quality is still great!
We were seated upstairs this Saturday night, the narrow staircase led us up to a small area making it feel quite intimate.
The best of the dishes we sampled was the roti neur, the curry was very delicious. The garlic prawns was more like pepper prawns, felt it was a little underwhelming for the price as well. The pad thai was nice, on the less flavoursome side however compared to many others I've had before. Also disappointing was that the prawns were no longer served with this dish. The hoy jor was very average. Overall a good experience.
Surprisingly good. I only went because it was close to the cinema. It's rare to get terrible Thai food, as anyone can open a spice paste jar and make a tasty meal, but these guys stand out for three things:
1. Real Thai food, using fresh spices like kaffir lime leaves and fresh peppercorns.
2. Not sickly sweet. Most Thai restaurants are too heavy on the palm sugar.
3. Not the cheapest Thai place but the serving sizes were generous, so good bang for buck. Most Thai places will serve you a little copper pot with a few bits of chicken swimming in coconut milk - not here, and it is appreciated.
And a lovely casual atmosphere - although at first they did try to seat us upstairs in a cold and dark space, even though we had booked!
I'll be back.
Great local Thai place in Brighton. The restaurant is small inside, limited seating so book a table if dinning in. Takeaway is always great. My go to order is the green chicken curry, rice and roti. Great flavours and never disappointed.
We ordered take away delivered to home. There were 4 of us.
Each of us is very picky with food.
We are all foodies who are not backward with coming forward with comments about what we DON'T like.
We all tried a bit of each of our chosen items.
We all were unanimous that the food was good!
I've been at the restaurant a few times and have always found it consistently good and it's always very busy but it is a small place.
Keep up the good work.

This was a lovely restaurant with traditional, fresh and delicious Thai food.
The staff are lovely and very attentive. They're aware of food allergies and try and accommodate as best they can.
The restaurant filled up very fast and the ambiance was lovely.
I recommend dropping in for a quick bite to eat, they will not disappoint!
The best Yellow Curry! Seriously do yourself a favour and give it a visit. All the other dishes are fantastic and great to share, great environment and its BYO (wine only).
Its always pleasing to try a new restaurant and enjoy it so much, that you make immediate plans to return. TA seems to be the preference here as seating is tight.
Our order of (Chicken Larb, Pad Thai) was spot on ... composed, tasty and very fresh. The coriander popped, like it had been picked straight from your own garden. And the bill for our dinner was the cherry on top, fantastic.
So pleased with all the dishes i ordered takeaway. Yummy fresh pad Thai, beef green and red chicken curry are deliciously. Only improvement would be the roti bread didn't have much flavour
Great consistent Thai food. Just wish they delivered, I'd order even more often! Best Thai in Brighton. The duck curry on the specials in amazing. Friendly service
A little noisy however the service and the quality of the food is excellent.
To Never Again. To "Never Again !!!!" Their opening hours are until 10pm, they could have nicely asked you to leave, but that is already late and they allowed you to stay 30 minutes past their closing time, meaning that's 30 extra minutes they have to pay all of their staff members and 30 minutes longer they had to stay on shift.
Maybe you should be more aware of others too.
I agree I could eat there anytime.
The service was friendly when provided it's a stand back and see what happens type of service. A least their not pushy. There are lots of staff not doing much at all. We were seated and left without a drink order so I had to go to the counter to order a beer. Dessert is definitely not high on the menu, they didn't have two of the items available and the ice cream was almost rock solid. The pad thai was a little small but the beef curry was beautiful. I have had better curry puffs. Otherwise all our other choices were nice. Overall, the food is a must try, but the service has not changed in years.
One of my FAVOURITE Thai restaurants! Never left disappointed
Consistent Performer. Tasty but not outstanding Thai food. I go here for consistency and quality of the food. Always well attended, dining in can be noisy but take away can be troublesome due to the shortage of parking in the area.
Yummy yum yum. This is my FAVOURITE Thai Restaurant in Melbourne. Wether we dine in or take away the food is always amazing. The Green and yellow curries are delish!! The Veggie spring rolls are beautifully crispy and tasty. Any dish we have tried we are impressed and the servings are massive too! But I ALWAYS seem to order the Green Curry because it is just so good!!!
On behelf of sfaff at saffron thai restaurant we definitely want to get a good services for everyone particularly the guess they get here without booking we try to find out the empty table for every as soon as posible but some people misunderstand us so sometime when i saw the review it make me fell slighted andthen im going to said we never force the guess to leave here . we great to service every costumer with my mind .welcome to Thai saffron ;))

One of my favourites!. I have been going to Thai Saffron for years (well over a decade) and simply can't get enough. While this is not the most amazing restaurant you will ever go to, I rate Thai Saffron according to the price you pay, the large serving sizes and the amazing flavours in every dish. If you want a great experience I recommend sharing your dishes. My favourite dishes are the spicy Pad Bai Grapo and the prawn Pad Pong Garee (eaten with a serve of roti bread!). I used to love their jungle curry but sadly it's not spicy anymore (they have had too many complaints from customers - my motto is don't order a spicy dish if you can't handle it!). I will be returning, again and again - mainly for take-away though as the restaurant is very loud.
Can't get enough of this place. This food is always excellent, service is fast and the staff are immensely friendly. The best Thai food I have had outside of Thailand and better than most I've had in Thailand itself. Very good value indeed and if you order a takeaway, it only takes 10 minutes. My favourite dish is the Gai Tod. Had the beef massaman tonight which was very good. You can't go wrong with this place and it is always packed for all the reasons above.
Great Thai food, best around. Travel from Richmond to get it
Tick of approval. Get the Jungle Curry if you feel like administering some culinary paint stripper. It's hot.
Just got to get their Massaman off the specials board and onto the main menu. And stop serving it with apricots - THAT is why nobody orders it.
Yumo!. This thai restaurant i highly recommend! Its a cosy restaurant in the heart of brighton and it has amazing food. We sat upstairs, the stairs are quite narrow but not a concern, and the food is very tasty and quick to come out. The prices of the menu are very good and the serving size is more then enough!! The pad thai is amazing and would suggest trying it! Would visit again in a heart beat!!
Amazing! Really nice atmosphere, polite staff, and the best thai food I have ever tasted. My friend and I sat there for hours making sure we ate it all, as it was so nice! I highly recommend this lovely reataurant!!
Been here with my girlfriend a few times now, best food I've ever had I don't think you could get Thai food any tastier anywhere!
We have been coming here for over 3 years now, and even though we don't live close by anymore we will still make the trip, as we did last night. Food is consistantly amazing, quick service. Hands down Best Thai in Melbourne.
Excellence. Read the review "Tasty Thai" and thought the opposite - I returned from Thailand recently only to state to my partner (while over there) that Thai Saffron still is the best Thai resturant I have been too (even sampling many food stops travelling through Thailand). Yes the take-away business is messy, with little room for pick-ups and if you sit on a table of +5 forget about trying to hear or join in any conversion, also the stairs to the second level resemble that of a backyard cubby house - but if you are a food lover (esp Thai) it is the place to go.
Nice food and lovely restaurant
Love this place! Local Thai restaurant that serve great quality food at reasonable prices. Have been going here for years and will continue. Highly recommend.
OK but noisey.. Vote "I like it" but won't return. The food is good Thai, if limited menu.
The issue is that the place is so popular it is far too noisey. The take-away trade just keeps pouring in and going out and the noise from the patrons was unbearable, really!
Also, if booking, avoid the small window table beside the door. There is an electric deodoriser at face level that just overwhelms the area.
It's all a pity. The place is obviously so very popular and the food is great for the take away people.
I just wont be going back but "hey!" give it a try.
Lovely night. Was lucky to get a table without a booking ! Service and food was wonderful. Despite being very busy, we did not feel rushed at all. Only downfall was that we were situated right next to the door which gave us a few chills throughout the night.
Satay sauce is rich, thick & with bit of spice & very tasty. Chicken fillets are divine on skewers, nicely marinated. Red curry is sweet & spicy, good quality veggie & flavour authentic.
Simple and delicious. Simple, delicious food, easy style and prompt service - our table of eight easily accommodated in the busy mid-week rush. The Banquet option took the pressure off studying the menu and the servings were more than a match for the hungry teenagers at our table (they humbly admitted defeat!)

Tasty Thai. My companions thought this was the best Thai food in Melbourne. I didn't, but I've relatively recently returned from a holiday in Thailand so my memories of what the food "should" taste like were still fresh in my mind.
For entrees we shared the fried prawn (essentially a prawn wrapped in a wonton wrapper and deep fried with a sweet/sour sauce - it was just OK), fish cakes (excellent) and chicken satays (not so good. When the menu says "grilled" I expect grilled. These were deep fried and had been sitting around for a while as they weren't piping hot and a bit dry and chewy).
For mains we had a the jungle curry (extremely spicy and extremely delicious), chicken/seafood pad thai (very good although a touch too sweet for my taste), naan (excellent) and steamed rice.
Service was attentive and efficient. It was a bit cramped inside but cute and warming on a winter's night.
I would be unlikely to return as I don't live on this side of town but for a decent Thai dining destination, you can't go wrong with Thai Saffron.
Best Thai in Bayside. Awesome little restaurant with a nice atmosphere and the food is beautiful. I have been to heaps of Thai restaurants and this one is the best I have been to. I recommend this to anyone looking to have a nice meal with friends or with your partner. Can't name a dish I didn't like. It was all good.
Lovely!. Great food and lovely welcoming staff. Will go again!
The Best Thai!. Great thai food and very reasonable price. I partiulary love the take away - great service to!
Beautiful Thai dishes. Lovely. We had the menu B with friends - great!
Nice place. The prices are very reasonable, and the food is tasty and food is served hot.
The place is good but I am not sure if this is the best thai restaurant I have ever been too?
Vegetarian Pad Thai. Delicious, reliable, fast and efficient. What more could you ask for?!
Awesome, tasty food! Been going to Thai Saffron for years and have never had a bad meal. Best Pad Thai outside of Thailand! Sadly we don't eat in much anymore as it is too small to cater for our 2 small children. Take away great though! Recommended!

My third time at Thai Saffron was definitely the charm. I hadn't been in almost 10 years, and I'm sorry I didn't come back sooner. The food was beautiful and everything overall was good.
If you're getting a starter, beware that their portions are far smaller than any other Thai restaurant I've been to. The Chicken Curry Puffs only come in twos, where everywhere else comes in fours, but I guess you can then still fit in your main meal. I must say, I couldn't taste the chicken in the puffs, but either way, the flavour was lovely. The fried rice was beautiful, fresh, moist (sorry, I can't think of another adjective to say "not dry") and tasty. Onion lovers will rejoice with the massive chunks found in the dish, but I could have done with a bit more refined chopping (for my taste).
Overall, Thai Saffron is a great local gem if you want a nice casual meal out. You can hear yourselves even over other tables, and the service and food were great. Parking CAN be challenging at times, but I wouldn't let that deter you from giving this a go. It's definitely well worth it!
Didn’t have to wait long for delivery. Red duck curry was the best I’ve had outside of Thailand. Can’t wait to eat Thai Saffron again.
Went here for dinner with a friend and we were both very impressed! The food is delicious and the customer service was excellent. Would definitely come back.
This Thai restaurant has a delicious modern Thai menu and the owners are lovely, lovely staff also.
