Thai Saffron - Melbourne
Thai Saffron
Description
Saffron Thai is a local gem known for its delicious Thai food, but recent reviews suggest that the service leaves much to be desired. Some customers have experienced issues with long waits, incorrect orders, and unsatisfactory responses to complaints. Despite these setbacks, many diners still praise the food, particularly highlighting dishes like the Yellow Chicken Curry and Pad Thai. The restaurant has also been commended for accommodating food allergies and providing a cozy ambiance for diners. While some feel the quality has slightly declined over the years, Saffron Thai remains a popular choice for those craving authentic Thai flavors in the Bayside area.

The Pad Thai and duck dishes at this restaurant are exceptional, and all the curries are also very tasty. Unfortunately, I was not a fan of the papaya salad as it lacked the sourness and spice that I was expecting, making it taste less authentic to me. The service was a bit slow, especially when we were seated upstairs and no one came to take our order for a while. Other than that, the overall experience was great.
My Favourite Thai restaurant in bayside <br/ <br/ Consistently tasty , and great service every time <br/ <br/ MUST ORDER : Gang Kari Gai <br/ <br/ 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<br/ <br/ The red and green curries are awesome with both fish OR chicken protein . Luscious gravies that arent oily and greasy on the palate.
This Thai restaurant is a popular choice among locals. The dishes feature excellent flavors and generous portions. While there has been a slight decrease in the standard since the change in ownership, the quality of the food remains top-notch.
On Saturday night, we were seated upstairs at this restaurant, and the narrow staircase led us to a small, intimate area. The standout dish we tried was the roti neur, as the curry was very delicious. The garlic prawns were more like pepper prawns, and we felt they were a bit underwhelming for the price. The pad thai was decent, but not as flavorful as others we've had before, and it was disappointing that it no longer came with prawns. The hoy jor was just average. Overall, it was 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:<br/ <br/ 1. Real Thai food, using fresh spices like kaffir lime leaves and fresh peppercorns.<br/ 2. Not sickly sweet. Most Thai restaurants are too heavy on the palm sugar.<br/ 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. <br/ <br/ 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!<br/ <br/ I'll be back.
