Helpful and attentive waiters. Showed me all the dishes they could make vegan and which dishes were already vegan. Great service and food was excellent! Good pricing. We had already been there 8 years ago and it has always been a high quality restaurant.

We went to eat here after some very disappointing food at the Shrewsbury Hotel. The good at Cafe Saffron was really tasty. We had the whole restaurant to ourselves. We started with poppadoms and onion bhaji, which were fantastic. The starter had three onion bhaji and salad along with sauce. I then had a tawa in a sizzling skillet and my wife had chicken tikka balti. Again, both were very tasty. We finished our meal with floater coffees. Overall a very nice meal and we'd definitely go there again next time we are in Shrewsbury.

The best Indian food in Shrewsbury. Fresh quality ingredients. I had vegetable balti and it was delicious. So many places can not do I good vegetable curry, but Cafe Saffron have got to it right. My partner and I have eaten from here often, and we’ve never had a bad curry. Excellent service. We were that happy we even phoned the restaurant straight after eating our takeaway just because I wanted to thank them for the lovely food. I hope it made you smile :)

We got food delivered from Cafe Saffron and it was absolutely outstanding! We had two of the 'award winning dishes' and they were easily the best curries I've ever had in the UK - fresh and full of flavour. Cannot recommend enough, simply delicious! Will be back for sure.

Well, we've eaten some Indian meals over the years, but cafe saffron was in a different league, the quantity & quality of the chicken was exceptional as we're the flavours & service. I had chicken madras, my partner had chicken naga, definitely the best we've ever had. Meal was so good we tried to return following night but unfortunately they were closed on Monday. We will definitely go back when we next visit Shrewsbury . Sorry, just to clarify, the bill was 60 for 2 people including drinks & sides.

My indian friends recommended this place and they were right! Maybe the best Indian restaurant in Shrewsbury. Food and service are top class. Portions are good size and be wary of vindaloo!
