Saffron Summer in Kingston upon Thames

Delicious, refined curry at a very reasonable price, especially with the 2-for-1 deal on Tuesdays-Thursdays! The man who served us was very friendly and attentive, too. I would definitely go again!

We had our second meal at Saffron Summer last night.Amazing food, beautifully presented and a medley of delicate tastes.The ingredients are explained as the dishes are brought to the table.Lovely decor and friendly staff who are very keen that you get the full experience.An Indian restaurant with a difference that caters for traditional British preferences but also encourages you to be a bit more experimental in your choices ( the guinea fowl is delicious!)Definitely a good choice of restaurant!!!

Stunning, high-level Indian food. Usually have takeaway but occasionally eat in for a weekday lunch, when it's very quiet and service is excellent.Highlights include the Venison Kebabs and chicken trio starters, Wild Boar Vindaloo (not as hot as a 'typical' Vindaloo but still packs a punch), and the various Biriani mains. I've never had enough space left to manage a dessert so can't comment on those.

On the 03/05/22 I visited Saffron Summers as I was on a business trip! The service from Nacito and the chef was excellent food didn't take very long at all and each plate was delicious.All the little details made it a particularly nice eating out experience and I'm glad I picked this place as my meal out during my trip. For starters I had a Tandoori Broccoli dish which was a new and exciting experience for me who knew curry coated broccoli could taste so nice and interesting.For my main meal I had a Wild Boar Vindaloo, Garlic Nan Bread and Rice each was what I would consider a good plateful of food and each added to the experience of a filling dinner. The Wild Boar Vindaloo was something else. My understanding was I should prepare to have my taste buds destroyed by intensity and it did at first worry me. However, this Vindaloo was more developed then I expected and had flavour and was hot but the balance of the meat against hot curry was fantastic. Improved by the large bowl of rice and large garlic nan bowl.Thank you very much for the experience Nacito and chef!!!To top it all of was the time Nacito spent writing down the recipe of the Vindaloo for me which I thought I'd try to share the experience with my Nan who I cherish a lot and I think will appreciate.Kindest Regards.

A completely different Indian experience to a normal curry house. The presentation of the food was exceptional as was the service and delivery of the food with the explanations of the ingredients within the dishes. I would definitely return and recommend to friends and family

Our group visited saffron summer last night on recommendation, we try to pick a new curry restaurant every time we meet up, I can honestly say it was the worst curry I’ve ever had. On ordering our food I asked for a keema naan expecting it to be on the menu. I got told abruptly if it’s not on the menu we don’t do it” The novel crisp sized Papadams tasted anything but fresh and stuck to your teeth, I ordered a chicken madras it tasted of nothing! no flavour or spice I asked to swap for a vindaloo hoping I might get to taste an actual curry but alas much the same bland with zero flavour. We then waited an eternity for service to clear plates and order coffees and then another year for the bill. Just to be clear it wasn’t busy the restaurant was empty and in high insight I can see why. Terrible food. Terrible service.

I've visited restaurant with couple of friendsWe were pleasantly surprised how great the food tastesEven the popodoms starter with 3 really tasty sauces was above our expectationsI'd certainly recommend visiting

Very disappointed. We travelled all the way from London to this restaurant after reading the reviews. However the food is far from being authentic and tasted awful. Albeit very hungry I had no choice but to return food to the kitchen. Very small portions on the mains. Way too small portion of papadoms. We asked for chips for our toddler but we were told it’s not normal practice to have a kids menu in place. This place is overrated. Definitely won’t be back.

Been for Sunday Lunch today haven't been for a couple of years - we had a very enjoyable meal - it is the normal menu for lunch which was great for us. We received attentive and calm service and were served delicious food. I can especially recommend the Onion Bhaji, Bhel Puri, Sev Batata Puri, Tandori Broccoli and Kabuli Gosht. I highly recommend the food is spicy, tasty but not harsh on the taste buds.

Simply brilliant. No idea curry this good was so local. Been in the area for 10 years and found this when spending the night with family at Chessington World of Adventures. Popped down for a quick curry with the family and it was amazing. Highly recommended.For starters we had pops (so tasty) , onion bhaji (so fluffy), vegetable samosa (so crispy), and calamari (so tasty). We all had house special mains including boar vindaloo. All so so tasty. Service was amazing.If I had any minor gripes it would be that the food portions are a little small (but we still left feeling stuffed and quality is amazing) and was also a little more pricey than any local curry (£14 for a main curry compared to £6-9 at all other locals). But these are minor, so much so, I'll be back every other week.Highly recommended.
