Visited this placed whilst passing by for work. Best service I’ve ever had in a restaurant, the chef personally catered to our needs and the food was 10/10. Will definitely come out of my way to visit this place again cannot recommend this enough

Whilst visiting family in Thetford we had an evening meal . Fabulous! Service was great, staff very friendly and attentive. The food was delicious, excellent produce and flavours. We all had different dishes and thoroughly enjoyed. I would highly recommend and hope we will visit again, many thanks (sorry not many pics as too busy eating)

Have eaten In and had many Take-aways over the last year and it has always been excellent. Every dish has a unique flavour rather than all tasting similar, as with some other Indian restaurants. The staff are friendly and helpful and the place is always clean and welcoming. Great food, great staff and a great atmosphere. Never been dissappointed with this restaurant. Highly recommend.

We had another wonderful dining experience thank you. The food was top quality and the service couldn't have been better. All staff are so efficient, friendly and very smartly dressed. This is a dining gem in Thetford and has become a family favourite. We celebrated a special birthday and will be back again soon. I advise you book ahead of your visit

Lovely restaurant where you can choose to sit in the well lit, airy and spacious room or dine in the more intimate and cosy room with a more relaxed ambience. Very polite, professional and attentive service from all the staff. Food is absolutely gorgeous, full of flavour and delicious and aromatic. Good portion sizes and very soft and tender lamb. Will definitely return.

A delicious halal Restaurant in ipswich. Had lamb karahi tandoori naans. All foods were good in taste and well presented . The staffs suggested items were delicious. The service was quick and had a good ambience.

The food was absolutely delicious and the customer services was perfect. Thank you again for a lovely meal, we will definatly be back again.

Absolutely incredible, now it's Saffron the place was packed out. So lovely to see it alive, brilliant service and gorgeous food with lots of really interesting stuff beyond the usual Anglo-Indian menu staples (they're there too, don't worry.). Recommend asking for the Chipon special (forgive my spelling, might be wrong.)
