Review from The Guardian Food Guide, February 2003 |

Situated in the north Oxford suburb of Summertown, Saffron is an underrated eaterie offering Indian food. The restaurant also has a solid reputation among vegans. Design-wise Saffron is bright and brezzy with a layout that lends itself to intimate meals and group outings. The service is speedy without being oppressive - always a plus point. As for the food, the chargrilled salmon is a feisty starter, as is the crab. For mains, you'd stuggle to choose anything substandard from the Saffron Specials menu.

The murgh nawabi is superb - rolled breast of chicken filled with delicately-spiced minced lamb and saffron. The duck is also impressive - barbecued in tandoor then cooked with yoghurt, garlic and ginger. Perhaps best of all is the mildy-spiced lamb with cashews, cream and almond sauce. ANTONY JONES |
