I'm not sure what it is we enjoy more. The actual food at Saffron, or the fact that we're looking out across the stunning Pembrokeshire coastal path with it's vast array of flora and fauna and out onto the ocean, waves crashing against the rocks, whilst pigging out on enough dirty take away curry to sink one of the huge sea vessels that float by in the distance.
I think it's the latter.
Not that the food's bad. It's plenty tasty and there's lots of all the best bits. It's not what I'd consider altogether authentic. It won't provide you with the taste sensations that the best Indian food delivers in spades. It has splashes of nuclear colour that are questionable - you could light the coastal path ahead of you if you walked back with the chicken tikka masala opened.
But we're in deepest West Wales, breathing in good fresh air, feeling giddy. And we're eating Indian. Real authentic British Indian. Complementary popppadums and unfeasibly green sauce aplenty. The Cinnamon club it aint. But Saffron has it's place in my heart. Or certainly clagging up the arteries leading to it anyway. And for that I am truly grateful.
