Reviews of Saffron Ivy

Me and a friend just spent a few hours in here and enjoyed their food and drink. Ample portions of very well presented Indian cuisine. Drinks a bit expensive but we did drink quite a lot and shorts and Irish coffees after our food. All in all a really good evening, Thanks to the owners and staff 🥃🥃🍺🍺

We have had an absolutely amazing meal tonight. We were made welcome and a space easily found for My Sister-in-law who is in a wheelchair. Every dish tasted fresh and full of flavour. The couple who are there are so friendly and adaptable. They definitely give a 5 star service.

M. D.

amazing food! had 'The Lamb Dish' on the bone, meat fell of the bone into a fragrant medium spiced sauce full of garlic and flavour. Very pleasantly surprised on my first visit there and will definitely return!

Food was very good excellent in fact. Service was a little slow. Didn't order till after 30 minutes from being seated. Didn't appreciate the musical trio, who were very talented, putting a collection plate in my face. Then our donation was met with a grunt. The £14 service charge was not expected and is something I prefere to give off of own back. I might consider returning if the service charge was dropped.

Lovely delicious food, was our 1st visit but I would highly recommend the place. Being a vegetarian we only tried vegetarian food but it was very tasty and fresh. Small restaurant but service was satisfactory. Only negative portion sizes were small. 😋😋😋😋😋😋😋

A wonderful meal out in a small and exclusive setting. Attentive waiters, very reasonably priced menu and food so good we will be returning. The chilli garlic fries were to die for! Thank you for a lovely evening

N. C.

Service very slow at first especially as we we're the only people in there but it did improve considerably with every demand after the intual bad start being met in fact we even left a tip, the food was great so 👍

T. R.

This place definitely tops most Indian restaurants and it's worth every penny. The chilli garlic is the best and the butter chicken is absolutely delicious, the naan is soft and very yummy A defo 10 for me

R. R.

First time delivery order. Outstanding food! Taste and flavours unbelievably excellent! Service was excellent and prompt. Thankyou!

K. M.

So great decor and seating arrangements for such a petite restaurant. Staff were very friendly and attentive. Food was decent. We had a mix of veg and non veg. Veg was really nice and non veg was great to, but could have had maybe bigger wings in the non veg sizzler. Currys were good but the keema was salty. We fed this back to the waiter and the chef made another portion of fresh keema with rice for free which was top attention to detail and was 100x better. The lamb keema and chicken tawa were 10 out of 10. Naans were lovely too. fluffy and big. ALL THE FOOD WAS HOT ASWELL,as in temperature so I knew it was fresh fresh, which is always good to see. Would deffo recommend 👌🏾

Hands down the best Indian restaurant in syston! We have tried them all and the quality and flavours of the food are head and shoulders above the rest. We’ve ordered from here several times now and the service has been very friendly. Lovely family run restaurant with fantastic food. The lamb is always cooked to perfection and the flavours are second to none. Don’t waste your money elsewhere!!

M. W.

M. H.

Great food small place but don't be put off had to wait for food not to long but was worth it taste amazing will be deffo returning

P. P.

We ordered several dishes and they were all fantastic!! Highly recommended the chilli garlic mushroom and the paneer too! The staff were very professional and polite. I'd recommend anyone who wants to experience a flavoursome Indian food cuisine. Most importantly during COVID times, sanitizer was present at the door and inside the restaurant social distancing was practiced where appropriate.

After a disappointing service experience a couple of months ago, we made our next takeaway order at Saffron Ivy. This time, the service was fantastic and the food was delicious. Best Indian food we've had in Leicester. Would definitely recommend this restaurant. Thank you!

Very friendly, very clean, nice subtle decor, comfortable. The staff were very pleasant and helpful, ready to answer any questions concerning the menu etc,. The prices were good / standard, the food was delicious and hot in temp, a varied choice of dishes, and a great choice for vegetarians like me, they even made me a dish,that wasn’t on the menu, to try. They gave my friend a pAncake and ice cream, as a surprise, when they realised it was her birthday. We would definitely go back again, many times!

S. B.

Lovely ambiance, friendly staff and fantastic food! I would most definitely recommend to anyone who enjoys a good meal out. 🤍

Just got back from our first visit to Saffron Ivy and really enjoyed both the food and the hospitality. Great bunch of staff and we had a fantastic sing along at the end of the night. Introduced them to Tom Jones and Iron Maiden in quick succession. Thanks for a lovely evening.

Lovely take away from Saffron ivy tonight, lovely fresh cooked food in correct portion size with loads of flavour and plenty of meat not just sauce like most others. The staff were friendly & helpful & the surroundings nice clean & cosy, will be looking forward to using them again.

Fantastic authentic food Great environment and tasty food. We’ve been to this lovely family Restuarant and are really pleased with all aspects. They have an extensive menu and the food is cooked as expected, it’s always served hot and cooked as ordered.

We have tried many other Indian takeaway/restaurants over the years only to be mainly disappointed. My favourite dish its chicken tikka masala, which when i buy a sauce from the supermarket it's really nice, however, having if from the restaurants local to me i have always been very disappointed because it has been very, very sweet not at all how tikka masala should be. So, when Saffron Ivy opened i was a bit dubious to try it. But my goodness was I pleasantly surprised. It was so delicious and clean tasting, no stuffed belly feeling either. I ate it all, which i never do. Give this place a try you won't be disappointed. The staff are so nice too, very easy to talk to. Lovely, lovely, lovely. Can't wait to go back.

The Saffron Ivy hosted my husbands surprise party last night. The staff are lovely, welcoming and very efficient. The food was perfect for all 30 of us. We had a brilliant night. Thank you.

L. T.

Cannot recommend this restaurant enough, we have ate in and ordered takeaway from so many other restaurants, either local or a little further out but we have not enjoyed the food as much as from here! We have only had takeaways up to now but it has ways come promptly and still hot, Hope to eat in soon. Keep up the good work 😊

Went to Saffron Ivy on a Saturday evening, we thought we would try the restaurant for the first time after reading the reviews. I had onion bhajis to start which were amazing! Then I had chicken tikka masala for my main which was very bland and had a strange taste to it. We had to wait a long time for our table to be cleared in between courses although there were people standing around. Also it took over 30 minutes to be asked what we were eating and over an hour for our food to be served. I barely est any of my main as by the time it was served I had gone past it! When paying the waiter asked if everything was ok and I said the service was very slow and she responded 'well it is a Saturday night'... no apology or anything & we have been to many restaurants on a Saturday night and not had this problem. Wont be returning again on a Saturday evening.

Excellent services, Love all the decorations, specially the ivy wall. Ordered Saffron ivy special rose & lychee cocktail, which was really nice. For starter I had chicken pokora and had mixed meat special curry and garlic naan. I definitely recommend other people to try the place.

Food is exceptionaly good and reasonably priced. However covid 19 rules could be improved. We did not get a new menu and a hand sanitizer at the door was empty

A hidden gem, in Syston First time, my parent and I, have been there. On entering the restaurant we were greeted, with "Namaste" The ambience is very clean and tidy, The two people that greeted us and shown us to our table, were very friendly and helpful, They were very knowledgeable about the food and the ingredients, When food arrived and it was lovely, well presented and good sized portions, my parents really enjoyed it, ( very tasty they said) the quality of the food is very good.. and I think reasonable priced We will definitely use it again,

Went to Saffron Ivy with my wife yesterday. I thought the food and service was great. I would not hesitate to recommend.

The best in the world.This restaurant is over the top.I have come here 3 times already and hope to come again and again.The food is indescribable as the taste is just the best .For starters I would recommend the onion bhaji and the best of the menu lamb biryani.I have been to many restaurants but I've never experienced such aroma and taste.The staff are extremely freindly and the chef is polite and makes sure everything is perfect in every dish he serves.I would definately recommend this to anyone who is bored of takeaway and home food!😚
