Review Saffron Summer - Chessington

We discovered this hidden gem accidentally. I was expecting some rather dull pre made sauces etc - however to my surprise this restaurant turned out to be the best Indian restaurant for quality, taste and service on this side of town. Food is consistently good and some great dishes.

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.

Superb. We love this place. It doesn’t look like much from the outside, but it’s just wonderful. Consistently brilliant food, excellent, friendly service. We dine in and use the takeaway regularly and both options are great. Highly recommended. Nascimento and his team deserve a huge thumbs up.

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.

First visit based on reviews posted here. Staff very attentive, restaurant was full last night, good atmosphere. Food as you can see was nice, good level of spices and we all thoroughly enjoyed the dishes we choose. Would definitely recommend a visit here.

Where do we start! We start with the wonderful Nacito, TALK ABOUT EXCELLENCE CUSTOMER SERVICE !!!! with a lot of eating out under my belt, I can safely say that this was one of the greatest displays of both professionalism and acceptance in a restaurant I have ever received. Nacito made us feel as welcome as you are in the home of your parents. The food was served to an absolutely excellent standard; the starters where the perfect size, the Goan Prawn Ambotik was the best sauce with the poppadoms, and was even great with the tandoori broccoli which had an al dente bite, which was just how we like it! The mains of the Wild Boar Vindaloo and the Old Delhi Butter Chicken where sublime; so flavoursome and so so tasty! All polished off with the roti, coconut rice snd mushroom rice, we nearly didn't have room for dessert but we squeezed in a shared slice of the chocolate orange cake, which was also amazing ! Ladies and gentlemen, if you are in the area or just passing thought like us, please make sure you get down here for some of THE BEST hospitality and food I have ever experienced! We love this place and wish it was our local! Thanks again for the marvellous service, you are truly amazing

Updated review Never fails to impress & good value despite what some other reviewers have said. We knew the food was delicious, having had several take aways from here and tonight we were not let down. The menu has a really interesting mix of slightly unusual things + regular curries. My husband ate the most beautiful looking chicken selection, which he assured me tasted every bit as good as it looked, for starter and a divine slow cooked lamb dish for main. I enjoyed spicy, jammy, calamaris followed by courgette chana massala. The service was absolutely perfect - attentive whilst not being overbearing. We paid £68 for: 2 starters, 2 mains, rice & naan, 2 large beers and a bottle of sparkling water, this included the 10% OPTIONAL service. Believe me we did not chose the cheapest options from the menu - I do not think this is over priced at all. I don't know why people write vicious, untruthful reviews - I even read one review below that suggested that the restaurant get friends to use fake names and post good reviews to con people - what nasty, twisted little world do you live in & how dare you accuse other reviewers of being liars?? Only got a take away but going back to eat in asap. Menu slightly different to the norm - most of the usual but some great specialities. Being a vegetarian it was refreshing to see some really interesting dishes. The food was absolutely delicious - the rice was fluffy, the naans were super fresh and all the main courses were divine. Husband had Lamb Rogan Josh which he said was the best he'd ever eaten. Rest of us shared vegetarian Chana, Saag & Bindi dishes all of which were simply sublime.

I've visited restaurant with couple of friends We were pleasantly surprised how great the food tastes Even the popodoms starter with 3 really tasty sauces was above our expectations I'd certainly recommend visiting

Spice in its truest form: complimentary, succulent and well balanced. This is NOT your average 'curry house'. Customer service was friendly and attentive, whilst the food was delicious and exploratory. Definitely a new favourite and annoyed I haven't been before as its so close to my home!

Excellent !- Nacito and team provided food for my birthday party. So many compliments from my friends (and I didn't try and take the credit myself!)

Brilliant, authentic, fining dining Indian cuisine with an interesting menu and first rate service.Not to be confused with typical high street curry houses.Excellent value for money for cooking of this standard.

Top notch service. Excellent food. Could have been a bit spicy but, nothing to complain about. Would definitely recommend this place to everyone.
