Saffron — Restaurant in Borough of Runnymede

Mixed feelings about this place.

We were staying in the hotel next door and decided to eat here after a busy day at Legoland.

We arrived around 8.45pm and asked for a table for 7. We were told that they weren't serving as they were catering for a party that was being held at the hotel. There was no sign on the door to advise of this. It was getting late and as we had 3 children in our party, we really didn't Want to have to go back into the town to find something to eat. We told the man this and he said he would see what the chef said.

He said we could have a table, however, the choices were limited on what we could have. We agreed to this and was seated.

Drinks order was taken and it was a nice pint of peroni and cobra.

We ordered:

Mushroom pakoras Lamb rogan josh Chicken rogan josh Chicken madras Malai Chicken Tikka 2 x Mushroom fried rice Naan Chips Kids chicken Nuggets and chips

We were told we couldn't have poppadoms.

Food was good, although, if I'm honest, most of the dishes all tasted the same other than the Malai tikka.

Excellent portion size for the kids Nuggets!

Service was good and we didn't have to wait long for the food.

Overall, we had a nice evening but the restaurant needs to decide whether it caters for the public or the hotel and make guests aware if they are not open for business...

The standard of food is very poor. The service was poor. We arrived at 8:30pm and it seemed like they didn't want the customers. I wouldn't normally give a poor review, but when we argued over the quality of food they were not interested.

They charge a service charge which was 9. Which put our bill over 100. The bill came to 102.50. we rounded down, to 100, even though we were very disappointed in the quality of food. They argued saying the menu was 20 years old and the prices have not changed, hence the customer gets charged a service charge.

The food is like a microwave meal heated up. The food came with what I can only describe as a film over the top. Don't waste your money here, try the one over the bridge.

Hopefully the 2.50 we asked back will cost this company more. No way should this business...

I eat here a lot due to work Not tried loads on the menu but the stuff I have had is always very good

The Madras is very very good! Starters decent- Tikka paste on the meats has good spice and flavour

Setting isn't the most premium but the food isn't ridiculously priced Very typical bar menu for an Indian restaurant

I eat mainly during the week and it's quiet. The staff are lovely and food and...
