I visited Saffron Desi a few weeks ago while on holiday and have to say it was without doubt the worst Indian Resteraunt I have ever been in. We ordered a madras, special makhani a tikka masala and another i cant remember the name of. for mains and starters of tikka, poppadoms and pakora. The starters were very good, tasty and well presented. The mains were a different story. To start with two of the mains ordered with lamb were served with chicken. We pointed this out and they were taken away to be returned two minutes later containing lamb. None of the meals were very warm. The madras was so so, the special makhani was disgusting it tasted of carnation milk, the tikka masala was not as nice as tescos and the other was bland. As disappointing as the meals were it was the service that was the biggest let down, very poor waiting staff, dirty glasses, a jug of warn water with no ice, stained plates, indifferent response from the management when we pointed out some of these things. To top it off their knives could not be places on the plates without falling into the food due to their funny shape. I can presume they were having an off day as the experience was my worst ever by far in any kind of eaterie.
