Eat here after reading reviews. Looks a bit un appealing from the outside but was persuaded to venture in by the positive write ups. Extensive menu and good service. Food nice but far from the best Indian that I've had.

We found ourselves a short walk from this restaurant and would highly recommend it to anyone in Cambridge or visiting. The food was flavoursome with a tasty mixture of textures and sauces. As vegetarians we enjoy Indian and Italian food, but the food at this restaurant was definitely a cut above others we've been to. A pleasant environment with clean... More

After viewing the impressive reviews on tripadvisor me and my boyfriend decided to give this restaurant a try. From the moment we got there it was a downward spiral!!! The first thing I noticed was an odd and unpleasant smell! This smell literally put me off the food. The starter was OK, very very chewy salmon & the poppadoms were... More

I eat here fairly regularly and if you are looking for a curry in Cambridge this is the only place to go! service is great, the food is spectacular and all for a very reasonable price. Even when very busy the food comes quickly. Couldn't reccomend this curry house more. Don't go anywhere else!

The best curry house in Cambridge, and perhaps the UK. They are also coeliac aware, which is a lifesaver for me :o) I've been visiting this restaurant for the best part of five years - so you could say that I'm a regular! I do not have a bad word to say about the staff, service or the quality of... More

The Saffron Brasserie is the only place me and my boyfriend go for a curry in Cambridge. The staff are always friendly and the food is always excellent. I'm vegetarian and there are a good range of vegetarian options (although the veg bhuna is my favourite and I rarely change from this!)

Ate here on Saturday night and was impressed with the service and food - we had to wait a bit for a table (only about 10 minutes) but the waiters gave us updates on when our table would be available and generally were very friendly and helpful. The food was amazing as well - we ordered the Sheek Kebab, Sag... More

We only discovered this Indian restaurant last week - and went back the next day because we liked it so much. There is plenty of choice and the 5-tier 'chilli-scale' on the menu is a very useful guide to how hot the various dishes are. The menu also provides quite detailed descriptions of the ingredients involved. Prices are reasonable and... More
