Interior of Saffron

Very good Saturday night meal in Derry. It's modern Indian cuisine and the space has a nice design and is welcoming. It's located in a pretty central area of town and is not hard to find. It's one of the bigger, non-pub restaurants and is open late. They had a nice variety of sauces for the flatbread appetizers - the sweet and spicy sauce was my favorite. For my main dish I had the Chicken Patia and it was a perfect balance of sweet and creamy.It was very good! I paired it with the garlic naan. It was a good portion of food - I would say it was enough to share between two people if you get both rice and naan to go with it. Overall it was a good meal and I would recommend it!

I was up in Derry playing in an orchestra for a classical concert and had a look at the restaurant options on Google before travelling to Derry - somewhere convenient between rehearsal and concert. Of the options available, I chose Saffron, where I had a lamb Madras. Not bad.

Excellent Indian food!!! We ate butter chicken and tikka chicken. Nice wine selection. Windows…read moreoverlook the River. Service was good.

I wish we could give 10 stars!! We found this place online for either takeaway or dine-in, and when…read morewe saw the restaurant upstairs we decided to stay and enjoy dinner there. We were grateful to be seated along the window with a gorgeous view of the water and bridge as the sun began to set. The sunsets in Ireland are rare, so it wasn't too surprising that the drizzle started up again and washed away any hopes of a special sunset. Instead we enjoyed the view we got with some delicious food. The couple next to us had been to this particular restaurant many times, and shared about the town of Derry. They were very nice and made jokes about the weather... never beautiful in Derry and daily rain is always expected. Originally we thought we would be coming to Mama Masala's for a light dinner and maybe split a curry with some naan bread. However after arriving and taking a deeper look at their menu, we couldn't resist getting separate entrees (curry dishes) and splitting a jug of Gin Fizz. Our dishes came with a side so we shared rice and a garlic naan bread, and added an additional cheese naan bread on the side. Everything was absolutely amazing and the flavors were authentic, savory, and just delicious. The service was great. If we were locals in Derry this would definitely be a favorite place to visit all the time. On Fridays and Saturdays, they even have a bottomless brunch special and for $29£ you can get all you can drink cocktails (certain varieties) along with one main course dish. I hope this place continues to thrive because it was an unexpected treat for us! Review is from our trip in August 2023.
