Excellent taste Service was amazing Lovely, friendly, and extremely helpful staff. Not enough seating capacity, should increase seating.
Absolutely fabulous food and service. We decided against going to the 'Indian' restaurant in Peebles due to its horrendous reviews. If you are nearby you must try this one instead. (sit in or takeaway). It was one of the best, if not the best, Indian meals we have had. We had poppadoms, a mixed sharing platter, two tasty curries, a nan bread and pilau rice. With drinks it cost us only 60. The owner & staff were friendly and subtly attentive sharing local knowledge of attractions and events after our meal. A lovely & honest family business worth supporting.
One of the best Indian Restaurants I have been to. Great service, an intimate atmosphere and Tandoori and breads to die for, made by their very own specialist Tandoori chef. Set in the heart of Innerleithen.
BREATHTAKING. And that's not the garlic. This is the third time I've eaten here and was just as impressed. It's a small little restaurant but what they lack in size they make up for in taste. Honestly the best curry house I've been to (and I've been to a lot of curry houses). You need to pre-book as it's a popular little spot.
Had a lovely meal here. We were a large party but everything went really smoothly. Service was excellent. And the food lovely. It is quite a small restaurant so probably best to book. Also it was very busy as a takeaway. They did put screens up to separate the tables but it was a little distracting which is why I only gave 4 stars for atmosphere. However we had a most enjoyable family meal here.
Came to Innerleithen on a solo retreat/holiday away from the States. The food and wine pairing the owner so kindly suggested was truly one of the best meals I’ve ever had in my 47 years on Earth.
I had a fantastic meal at Saffron Indian Restaurant! The food was delicious and authentic, with a great range of vegetarian and non-vegetarian options. The service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was cozy and welcoming. I especially loved the naan bread and the chicken tikka masala. The prices were reasonable and the portions were generous. Overall, it was a great experience and I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for delicious Indian food!
Small but mighty! Book ahead due to it being always full. There's a good reason though. The food is AMAZING!
