Saffron Ellesmere Port

[JerryM]

very rare for a restaurant to exceed expectations. as yet only been once but well impressed.

the early bird offering was just perfect for a weekday meal out.

the place is really posh decorated but staff are exactly what you want - friendly/helpful and nothing too much trouble.

the curry itself is difficult to explain (that extract smell was not quite right and showed in the curry)- it's something like an 8 in my book but overall the place is a 10.

a top up of coffee would have been perfect. the use of a trolley was a very happy surprise being something i thought was loosing in the change battle.

certainly going again.

the other restaurant in Ellesmere Port which i just had to try is the Agra Fort.

which is best - depends on what your after. if it's curry pedigree then the Agra Fort. if your only 50:50 into curry then the Saffron.

in short i'd go to the Agra Fort and my wife to the Saffron.

the all in 5 course at the Agra for a few quid over 10? is spot on. the 70's origins in the decor made for a nostalgic night too. loved it.
