Saffron — Restaurant in England

Absolute rubbish

We had the worst curry we have EVER had last night.

To start with we gave very specific instructions on where to deliver our meal and the driver tried delivering 1/2 a mile aaay from us, he moaned and wasn’t happy when we told him where he needed to be.

Our 2 meals were part of. a larger order for a group of 4

We ordered vegetable Bhunas which should have been a thick sauced curry, a little dryer than others.

Ours were identical and were very watery to look at which raised alarm bells initially.

There was zero smell of spices at all.

We started eating and there was no curry spices whatsoever in the dishes, totally bland with no taste.

There was not even any seasoning in them at all, no salt, nothing. They were completely bland.

It was clear to us that what had probably happened is that a pre made, pre frozen batch of vegetables in a nondescript sauce had been defrosted and the chef must have forgotten to add any curry base or spicing or seasoning at all.

Come on guys, it’s harder to get a curry so catastrophically wrong than it is to get it right.

It is not easy to describe how disgusting the meal was. It was more like a stew than a curry, a watery one with no taste at that.

Had we been in the restaurant to eat both meals would have gone straight back to the kitchen.

It is a real shame as we have had a takeaway from here before and it was lovely.

To be fair, the garlic naan breads were great but the only memory we have from the meal is the non-curry.

I ate about half of mine as i was so hungry but my wife didn’t eat any of hers at all. Complete and utter waste of money.

We won’t be.using this place again.

Sorry Saffron, you have to do...

Visited 1/6/21 Service was appalling. The waiter was like something out of Fawlty Towers. The restaurant wasn't busy at all which makes me wonder why he didn't even take the order for our main course. We waited until we had finished our poppadoms and another more pleasant waiter came over and apologised. The monosyllabic waiter came later with our meal which tbh wasn't great. The lamb on the bone that had supposedly been cooked for hours was hard and it was difficult to tell what was meat and bone. We had to ask for more drinks that he then forgot about. To have your plates cleared whilst still eating is the height of poor service but again seemed to be his way. After finishing the meal he asked is your meal OK.... well no but we've finished now so what's the point in asking. To save my fiance any embarrassment I didnt challenge the service or the food. On the way back from the toilets I saw bar bins over flowing which makes me wonder what the kitchen looks like. We won't be going back. We're we unlucky or expect to much? I don't know but would love to hear from the owners as they can't defend any of this and if that's there best service standard they...

Only 2 stars ! . After a great Saturday evening in The Windsor we wandered in at 11pm to an almost empty restaurant where we were welcomed, seated and offered menus and drinks (great start). Starters orders dually taken , cooked and delivered to our table of 4 no problem (amazing starters) a little chatting and reflecting the evening's entertainment it has now reached 11:35pm. Approached by a member of the waiting staff 2 thirds of the way through our starter's,(wait for it) We were told in a somewhat sheepish tone, "COULD I JUST REMIND YOU WE CLOSE AT 12".

Oh no ! Red rag to a bull time. Mains delivered by 11:46 with a little under 14 minutes to consume the whole feast of delightful and delicious offerings. Needless to say you could only imagine our reluctance to rush through, so we didn't. A little after 12:10 we were presented with the bill and not a desert choice whilst still finishing our mains (NOT ACCEPTABLE). Enough said, considerable bill £80+ settled we left around 12:20.

Although the food is Top Notch the customer service experience leaves a lot to be desired. Our £80+ will be going elsewhere...
