The Saffron Lounge - Indian Restaurant — Restaurant in Benidorm

Nice bright modern restaurant. Service was ok as were the staff. So poppadoms to start, not freshly done. Semi stale tbh. Nice chutneys though. Onion bhajis and Ragda patties with chickpeas were very nice. Table cleared, was left with the now used cutlery. Mains came approx 10 mins later. Why not fresh cutlery ? The dinner plates were cold. Have never been to a curry house that has done that.. The rice portions weren't particularly hot, the dansak was ok, , the chilli nan was great and my vindaloo was horrid. Very citric and salty. My partner ate all the main, not the rice. I left most of mine. When the waiter came to clear the table he asked if I wanted to take my vindaloo home, I said no it was horrid and he just cleared the table without question. Not once as per the norm were we asked if everything was ok. The bill was paid and we left. No thank you and goodbye. Honestly this is the least attentive semi shambolic restaurant with poor quality food I have ever visited. Never again. Honestly I wouldn't bother....

We had an amazing time at this Indian restaurant in Benidorm, Alicante. The place is beautifully decorated, very neat and clean, and gives off such a warm and welcoming vibe. The staff were fantastic – super friendly, polite, and attentive throughout our visit.

The food was outstanding – the best Indian curry, truly authentic Indian flavors, full of spice and freshness. You can tell they use high-quality, fresh ingredients, and every dish tasted homemade and full of love.

The person who attended to us was incredibly nice and friendly, making us feel right at home. It’s also a very kids-friendly place, which made our family outing even better. Our children were comfortable and enjoyed the food too!

We’ll definitely be coming back – highly recommended for anyone who loves great food and...

We had an incredible meal at The Saffron Lounge. The moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the staff were welcoming and attentive throughout the evening. For our main courses, we had the Afghan chicken and the jalfrezi. The Afghan chicken was absolutely fantastic, with a beautiful creamy texture and perfectly balanced spices. It was tender and full of flavor. The jalfrezi was also a highlight, packed with fresh vegetables and a spicy kick that was just right. We finished the meal with the homemade mango and pistachio ice creams for dessert. They were the perfect end to our dinner creamy, refreshing, and tasting genuinely homemade. The Saffron Lounge offers an amazing culinary experience, from the delicious food to the wonderful service. We highly...
