Indian Restaurants in Cannington

“We've been in Somerset for a few years now, and are not far from Saffron Indian Restaurant. We'd heard very good reviews from all our friends and family over the last few years, and finally we got around to booking up.

So pleased we did. We went with another couple and we had a great evening. We went on a Friday evening in early November. Booking was easy. We got seated quickly and cordially, as the staff we're quite attentive. We did ask to move seats soon after, as a group of 4 'Hinkley workers came in and were seated next to us and they were quite loud. The next seating they took us to was perfect.

The menu is extensive with all the usual eastern fare (Bombay, Bengali, Biriyani and some Persian dishes). I was pleased to see a Lamb Shashlik there, as it's one of my go-to dishes, that or a Lamb Dansak.

We ordered our drinks and food (and a selection extras, rice and nan breads) and we started with Papadoms and Onion Bhaji. The Bhaji were large and light - excellent. No greasy at all.

The main meals arrived as we chatted and laughed our way through the evening. My Lamb Dansak was amazing. Perfectly seasoned, not oily, and perfect level of spice for me. I have to say, the garlic nan breads were heaven ... I could have feasted on these alone. Other meals in my party looked amazing too; Chicken Shashlik, Lamb Korma and the Vegetable Biriyani.

We'll definitely be back, and it won't take so long this time. It'll be a nice break from all the Christmas meals that we're about to put away soon.

Highly recommended. Do book up soon, you won't be disappointed. It's a favourite local hotspot of many in the area. I now know why. Wish I'd gone sooner.

There is free local street parking available. It's wheelchair and child friendly. They do take-aways too.
Enjoy.”
