Absolutely fantastic service from start to finish. The food was stupendous. I had a chicken madras with some mushroom rice and garlic naan, couldn’t have been happier, the flavours got better either every bite. Thanks again to all the staff. Will 100% be back down when I’m on my travels again.

Two friends and I decided to take a 45-minute drive to Thetford to sample the cuisine at the New Saffron Indian restaurant. Upon arrival, a friendly staff member warmly welcomed us and guided us to our table.
The service was quick and attentive, and the food was absolutely delightful.
We ordered Aloo Gobi and Madras Shobzi, accompanied by lemon rice and chapati — every dish was bursting with flavor and freshly made. The spice levels were perfectly balanced, and the portions were generous. The lemon rice added a refreshing tang that paired wonderfully with the curries. For dessert, we enjoyed coconut and chocolate ice cream.
During our visit, the owner came over to greet us and share some fascinating background about his restaurant, which he originally opened seven years ago, although it has been at its current location for only two years.
Highly recommended for anyone craving authentic and satisfying Indian cuisine. We’ll definitely be ordering again!

Absolutely first rate! I collected my order and it was still piping hot when I got it back to our villa on centre Parcs. The food was so delicious – we are regular purveyors of Indian take away and consider ourselves connoisseurs, this was one of the best in our experience. On top of all that, the staff were exceptional, making lovely suggestions and slight alterations to our food as requested! We’re not that local to Thetford, but would definitely make the effort to come here again! Thank you so much!

I have ordered food from this place twice, and both experiences were disappointing. As someone familiar with Asian cuisine, I can confidently say the food quality is very poor and far from authentic curry. Unfortunately, none of the dishes I tried met even basic expectations. This feels misleading to customers. I am requesting a refund due to the extremely low quality of the food, and I strongly encourage management to review the standards of the kitchen and chef.

Stopped by Thetford for dinner on our way back to London and chose this place based on its high Google ratings. The food leans towards a milder and slightly sweeter profile, which the staff mentioned aligns with their regular customers’ preferences. Some dishes lacked seasoning, but the staff explained that they intentionally keep flavors subtle so diners can adjust them to their own taste (with table salt). This approach may work for some but might not appeal to those who prefer richer, more robust spices.
Service was generally attentive, though discussions around feedback could have been handled more smoothly. The staff explained their reasoning, including that during Ramadan, chefs are unable to taste the food while cooking. While understandable, a more open approach to feedback—such as proactively offering adjustments or recommendations—could have made the experience feel more accommodating.
The atmosphere was fine for a casual meal, but nothing particularly stood out.
If you enjoy gentler flavors, this restaurant might be worth a visit. However, those looking for bolder, more traditional seasoning may find it underwhelming.

The best Indian food in Thetford! Could not fault the food, the service, anything.
We’ve eaten here several times now & we have always had a lovely time with the best food. Sal (I think was his name) is such an attentive waiter & nothing is ever any trouble for him. All of the staff are lovely & Shipon (the owner) truly cares about his customers and the food which comes across each and every visit.

Whilst visiting family in Thetford we had an evening meal . Fabulous! Service was great, staff very friendly and attentive. The food was delicious, excellent produce and flavours. We all had different dishes and thoroughly enjoyed.
I would highly recommend and hope we will visit again, many thanks (sorry not many pics as too busy eating)

We had the pleasure of dining here whilst on Holiday this week. Our only regret is that this restaurant isn’t nearer where we actually live. The food and service were impeccable. We chatted with the chef Patron – a lovely chap who’s passion for the food he cooks shines through in every mouthful. A credit to his Father who ran the business before him. A true gent running a true gem of a restaurant. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Tarka dahl was so salty and quite watery. The chana masala tasted poor; it had an odd artifical flavour and low quality chick peas were used, likely a cheap brand from a can. Pilau rice was average. Also, there was no option to choose a collection time online, I was told it would be ready in 20 mins but got a text after 10 mins saying it was ready to collect. I couldn’t be there that quickly so I had to heat it up when I got home which was a little frustrating. I wouldn’t return here, disappointing experience.
