    Seafood buffet at Musgrave is way better. Crab curry and butter chicken wasn't what it should be. Breakfast the first day was good. 2nd day was all 1st days left overs which were dry and appetizing as it was on the Bain Marie for few hours on Sunday and today's breakfast

    Just an absolutely fantastic night. Staff are actually the heart of the excellent service. Highly recommend a visit. 4 Stars for value as we felt the price for soft drinks were just too expensive.

    We had a fantastic experience at Saffron Restaurant – everything from the food to the service was excellent! Just a small suggestion: it would be a lovely touch to serve the complimentary drink with the meal, rather than while waiting to be seated.

    My first experience was very disappointing. A staff member pointed a finger at our faces for his teams mediocre service. I will never recommend nor come back to Saffron. Your spread was good but not fantastic. We have gone to better buffet lunches and dinner.
