Saffron Indian Takeaway in Gateshead

The food was good but just warm. 30 minutes late which also spoilt the enjoyment…😢

Faster than estimated delivery time food great as always latley the nann breads have bean over cooked hard in the middle not the normal lovely soft bread, staff are brilliant and rectifie any issues definitely my go to indian and highly recommended

Lovely food. Sunday special is well worth the money. Would probably feed 2 people.

Always order from this place, lovely polite delivery drivers and food always spot on never have a problem with the food, fast delivery and food 10/10 I wouldn’t go anywhere else by far my favourite Indian takeaway and my go to

I ordered my food and it didn’t arrive until 2 hours later. Food was cold, ordered 2 papadoms that were missing

The food from here is absolutely beautiful. Even though it was 15-20 minutes late it still arrived hot. Will pickup in future but I can't fault the taste and quality.

Fantastic quality, portions great too! New favourite- best phall I’ve had for a long time

First time I’ve ordered from Saffron, Birtley but it won’t be the last. Food was delicious - onion Bhakti and chicken tikka jalfrezi. Really glad I tried it.

Fabulous tasty food and the delivery chap is canny and always friendly

Perfect as always and delivery is always made before time slot . Thank you

Delivery was quick but the food was so salty we couldn’t eat it. I had medium chicken curry and it went in bin. This used to be a nice take away but won’t be using again

Onion bhajis were a bit hard but sauces were delicious. Otherwise really enjoyed my meal.

Ordered from here by mistake thinking it was sunarga. Lesson learned. Watered down curry. Tough baji and stale nan. Will be avoiding from now on.

Absolutely disgusting!! Curry had opened and spilt all over the rest and on top of that it was all freezing cold none of it got eaten

amazing value Thursday night special. best curry in washy.

Excellent Thursday night special

Beautiful food and even sent a “this ones on us” dish very tasty

Absolutely lovely and value for money!

amazing Thursday nigh special, curry is of the highet quality

Rarely have a bad experience. However today instead of tikka masala we got chicken with pineapple!!! The plain nan was a bit dry. Not what we are used to.

Once again, all the dishes were delicious, the delivery guy very pleasant, even all of the side dishes , Rice and even the chips.... Spot on... As afore mentioned I cook traditional Indian food, but always look forward to my Take Away...👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😋😋😋

Food excellent as always. They missed a part of the order and went out of their way to resolve it. Highly recommended

Absolutely hands down the nicest curry I’ve had for a long time. All the family had 4 different dishes and all said they can’t wait to go back again

Easy to order online which issued an estimated delivery time, however arrived earlier which was great as wanted asap. Food was delicious and would definitely order again.

food arrived hot, really tasty! definitely be ordering again. thank you!

early delivery.EXTREMELY salty and inedible chicken. all went in bin. might has well have thrown my money in the same bin. horrible

Great food, delicious with spot on delivery service, very polite, well recommended, and we are hard to please lol

Once again 1st Class delivery and quality food

The quality and taste of the food is fantastic garlic pilau, butter chicken and chilli naan especially lovely Thankyou

Arrived within 20 minutes of ordering, order was spot on and food was boiling and tasted delicious 10/10 from me, thank you for my food will be coming back time and time again

I cook Indian food from scratch every other night, but I like to have a night off, The Saffron produces the most amazing flavours in their dishes, my wife and I have just finished the best food I have had for months, we even got a flavoured rice with a "it's on us sticker" You really must try this place....😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋👏👏👏👏

Really lovely tonight. Full of flavour.

just plain delicious, thanks Saffron fantastic

Lamb biriani...what Lamb? Counted six tiny dried pieces! It's definitely not worth the money! Not value for money. Delivered in time but that was the only plus!

1st class food as always, I would definitely recommend

cold, never had bright red mango sauce before, all went in bin

lovely curry and naan breads, food was red hot and delivered by a smiley guy 👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The food was beautiful as usual, highly recommended.

Curry, rice and chunky chips are fabulous but the naan bread was dissappointing. Bit like shoe leather, very tough.

First time I’ve tried this place and was told by a friend how good it was and they were right. Everything from starters down to the main and nan bread was beautiful. Will definitely be back for more

Food is absolutely gorgeous would highly recommend

Food was late and was cold very disappointed

mate you using jail chop veg I. your food that's worst flavour curry I've had. I genuinely hate writing this but what! howay man you can't be asain and produce that, pre cut boiled veg flavours that just scre cheap

The food was delivered early & very hot and it was delicious! Absolutely delicious

Sadly the onion in the pickle tray was on the turn, smelled off, the Chicken tikka masala wasn’t the best either, it’s my favourite dish , this wasn’t one of them , £23 in the bin

Wouldn’t order from anywhere else. Ordered twice in 2 consecutive days and both been absolutely fantastic. Freshly made to order which makes the experience even better! Lovely delivery drivers too thank you!!

Great service and food will definitely order again

really nice. hot exciting food. saffron is top rank!

Always delicious best curries around. Thanks guys

Cold chips, only 3 pieces of chicken in the korma and Burt naan

Enjoyed our food wuld always recommend

Once again. Lovelynfasty Sunday special 15 years and counting. Bhajis and chips especially tonight were so nice

Worst Indian Takeaway I've ever had. Ordered at 6.20pm on a Sunday evening and we usually have to wait up to 1 hour, website said delivery would be between 7.20 and 7.40, we got a call at 7.45 to say they'd had been busy so food would be another 15mins, this was after it was already 5mins late, we then waited until 8.20 before food arrived like warm and the chicken was the driest I've ever had. Will most definitely never order from here again, terrible service and food

The food was lovely. But it will only be a treat as it was a bit pricey. £4 delivery was perhaps a bit much as well since I was fairly close. But the food was class. Very nice food.

First time ordering here as we were away for the night. This could possibly the best Indians I have had. Will definitely be ordering from here again

I can see why the reviews are amazing . My food was the delicious. Well done !! This is my new go to for an Indian meal .

Absolutely delicious, it always is from here

Another tasty meal from Saffron. Thank you.

Delivery was good but chicken tikka masala was very bland and watery.

Best curries around by far we wont use anywhere else. Excellent every time. Top notch guys thank you!

Delicious as always. Highly recommend 😋👍

Food was warm due to the delay - received a text saying they were having issues but the driver said it was down to traffic. Usually no issues with this place. Probably won’t order again

Kashmiri was fab, but madras was as hot as a vindaloo, would buy again but ask to tone down the heat.

Best Indians in Birtley! Great 8 course meal value also

Have had these curry specials many times but this time the food was cold and the chips were burnt. 9 times out of ten spot on but not on this occasion.

Never fails to please. Absolutely beautiful meal.

Im sure i wrote a review a few years back on how much I enjoyed Saffron. Nothings changed, tried and tested many of times now and always great!

Ordered the medium chicken and mushroom curry, pilau rice and garlic naan, absolutely spot on 👌 food was red hot and delicious and the delivery driver was friendly, definitely recommend Saffron ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Absolutely delicious food, first time trying this place and will definitely be back, all very fresh can’t wait to order again

Good quality food, food as ordered; Prompt delivery. Recommend, would order again

Two weeks out of three they’ve refused delivery because they’re “busy”… great curry, spicy chips aren’t very spicy, but turning down weekly returning customers at 8pm is way off. Will be going elsewhere from now on. If it was 5 star food I’d understand, but it’s good at best, chips aren’t spicy and the middle of the garlic naans are like old cardboard. If you ever get an order accepted then go for keema naan, but be warned, it only has a quarter of the naan with actual meat in… a big L in my recent experience 👎🏻

Excellent quality food loads of taste

Absolutely fantastic meal, Bhuna was beautiful and tasted fantastic. All round gorgeous meal. Best so far thanks Saffron.

Food was really tasty, will definitely order from this restaurant again. The only reason for not giving 5 stars is I want to try more dishes from them first! Be aware that good food cannot be rushed and our order was 30 minutes late. It was a Saturday evening, so I would expect a busy kitchen also

No sauces with onion bahji Cold and late ! The popadom were li

Very nice food and it came earlier than the expected delivery time

Although still delicious my food was luke warm unfortunately. The mint yoghurt sauce was pink and rather off putting, I think it was made with strawberry yoghurt, thanks anyway guys.

Absolutely lush as always! Thanx very much x

Lush food every time 5stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Ordered mushroom pilau and received plain. Missed out the yogurt dip I paid for. No salad with Chicken tikka starter!

Best Indians in the north east! flavour consistency and quality amazing

Chips cold medium tikka curry no taste very bland had better microwave meals

Good choice, reasonable price. Delivered hot and on time.

Madras sauce is not very nice, a bit bland and the masala sauce was very watery

Saffron never disappoints, always on time and takes my food allergies very seriously. They’ve been my go to Indians for a year now

Fast delivery, nice friendly driver. Food gorgeous. Thank u, will defo revisit.😀

Very nice only complaint we got wrong tubs of sauces

The food was fabulous and plenty of it. Great service from the restaurant and delivered well within time.

Lovely as always wouldnt go anywhere else keep it up guys 👍👍

Not the usual service as always spot on. Food was cold and arrived late

Disappointed with my food. Was approximately 45 minutes late and was barely warm when it arrived. Was expecting more from the restaurant after reading the reviews

Perfect service food and delivery

One of the nicest we’ve had in a long time! Piping hot and delicious. Missing items however rang up and got the issue solved instantly.

Good food, quick delivery. Noice

First time ordering from saffron. Quick delivery and lovely food. Good size portions. Will defo revisit.

Exceptional service Exceptional meal, best naan ever. Thanks Saffron.

The absolute worst service and disgusting staff! Rude and the food is average anyway.

Really rude staff and absolutely bland boring food.

Tried many Indian takeaways. This is definitely the best I've tried so far.

Food was really good! Arrival was later than the latest mentioned on website and they clicked delivery a good 10-15 minutes before actual delivery, but let me say that again - food was really good!
