What User likes about Saffron Lounge:
On a Sunday night, on a spectacle visit, for a table for two. The staff was charming and the food place. They kept their prices reasonable. 63 quid for a good feeding, including a 23 pound bottle of Prosecco. Don't go if you're in a hurry (what we weren't). View all feedback.

The food is ok but they NEVER make their promised delivery times and it always takes well over an hour, even if you order at 17:30

Saffron Lounge has garnered mixed reviews, highlighting a dichotomy between recent experiences and its once stellar reputation. While some patrons praise the generous portions and flavorful dishes such as the Naga Dansac, others report inconsistent quality, including orders that were incorrect, overly salty, or lukewarm. Customer service issues also surfaced, with dissatisfaction stemming from unhelpful management and unpleasant interactions. Despite its charm and reasonably priced offerings, the restaurant struggles to provide a consistently enjoyable dining experience. Diners seeking a reliable meal may find their options limited, making their choices increasingly complicated in a competitive food landscape.

This restaurant is hidden in a corner of Hamlet Court Road and is never very busy. The food is good, but the service can be quite slow even on a quiet evening....

Fantastic food, lovely people and the cleanest restaurant I have ever been to. A real joy to visit. I don’t think anyone will be disappointed.
