Bringing a wondrous selection of tantalising Indian fare to the market town of Rayleigh in Essex, Saffron Tandoori is the place to visit for those in the area that find themselves craving all things curry. This is even more apparent to Gourmet Society members, who are able to partake in all of the flavoursome food served on the a la carte menu at a fantastic discount, providing they call in advance and produce their card upon arrival.
Basing their menu on the cuisines of India, Bangladesh and Nepal, all of the dishes at Saffron Tandoori are created by a passionate and dedicated team of chefs using only the finest of fresh ingredients – ensuring that quality can be found in every single bite. Beginning with the exquisite appetisers, where all of the traditional favourites, like the onion bhaji and the pakora, sit alongside a host of lesser known delights, including the salmon tikka and the Ghurkha mix, guests to the restaurant will consider their palates suitably prepared for what’s to come.
Next up, the mouth-watering main courses leave nothing to be desire for lovers of the curry, with a host of classic plates, such as the madras, bhuna and jalfrezi, working alongside a number of house specialties in a selection that promises to meet any appetite need. Particularly enticing examples of the latter can be seen in the chicken or lamb zalwala, a fiery number that is infused with Bengal naga chilli and cooked with a number of other herbs and spices, and the king prawn saag, a medium spiced option adorned with spinach.
Be it for a casual evening repast with the significant other, a catch up with a close friend, or a treat for a loved one, all are catered for at Saffron Tandoori.
