"We were staying at a local hotel due to an emergency at home. So after a long day, we were ravenous. We found this little gem locally and decided to give it a go, and it was such a pleasure! It looked rather busy from the outside, however staff quickly seated us and provided us with popadoms and drinks rather promptly (we visited on a Monday at 8pm). The food was fantastic! Portion size was perfect, and everything tasted fresh and delicious! It was traditional Indian cuisine but without the tonnes of oil cheap takeaways usually send, and with great meat:sauce ratio. The service was fantastic, the gents were lovely and really made an effort with our fussy 4 year old. She managed more than her usual 4 mouthfuls and they kindly gave her a chocolate for the achievement. Our only complaint would be the drinks were quite pricey for what they were, £2.95 for a can of Coke, but other than that we couldn’t fault it. If we ever find ourselves in the local area again, we will happily return!"

This restaurant is twice as expensive as most Indian restaurants but falls short with inexperienced staff and a Nepalese manager. It feels more like a conveyor belt operation, charging double the price of a typical Indian dining experience.

What a pleasure to enjoy the food at Saffron Club. Dishes made from scratch which really shows with the flavours. Our favourite curry house in Blackheath (Taste of Raj a close second). P.S under new mgmt in 2020 so please disregard earlier poor reviews.

Nice to see back to good quality food. Probably one of the best in the area. Can’t fault the food or service. 4 stars purely because it’s got a tad bit expensive, starting to spend £75 £95 for a curry for 2 with a few beers and starters however you can’t knock the taste and favours.

Had been recommended Saffron and as seafood lovers booked for our anniversary. The Nepalese menu offers many dishes you don’t get elsewhere especially fish and the tastes are delicious. A small restaurant with very attentive staff, tasty and different and will definitely be returning

One of the best curries I have ever eaten! So much better than the usual standard menus that a lot of restaurants have. Can’t go wrong with Nepali food in my experience mind. We only had vegi so can’t comment on the meat choices but the Thali was amazing. We had ours spiced up. Dumplings for starters shouldn’t be missed either. Fab!

I had a very disappointing meal here tonight the Meat Thali was bland, tasteless and the chicken and lamb curries tasted exactly the same! the Raita was thick and cloying and the Dhal, no better than a poor street takeaway, the difference being that I was charged £14.95! Avoid this place there so many better places to enjoy Indian food cooked with taste, imagination and flair....

My boyfriend and I went to Saffron Club for the first time last night and it was fantastic! The staff was incredibly friendly and went out of their way to make our visit special. My boyfriend requested the spiciest curry they had, and they even made a custom dish just for him. He thought it was the best curry he had ever tasted. The rest of the food was also delicious, and we will definitely be returning. Thank you, Saffron Club, for a wonderful experience!

Dropped by on friday eve, the staff escorted us to a table. The restaurant took our details as part of the test and trace scheme; all staff were in a masks and the tables were at distance. We decided to go veg and ordered dal makhani, chana masala and aubergine bharta along with garlic naan. I must say the food was delicious, fresh and piping hot a delight along with a bottle of kingfisher beer. The naan was one of the best I've ever had absolutely soft and melt in the mouth! Would definitely recommend.

I discovered this restaurant while out walking and searching for a takeaway. The staff were extremely friendly and even served me a pint while I waited for my food. The meal was exceptional, with delicious and fresh garlic-infused lamb that was tender and full of flavor. The lamb samosas for starters were filled with generous amounts of meat. I also enjoyed the lamb sag paneer dansak with garlic rice, garlic pash, and coriander naan. Overall, a job well done by the restaurant staff. We left as very satisfied customers.
