Saffron Express

Come on, let’s face it. Even if you aren’t massive on Indian food, you know how good onion bhajis, pakoras and samosas taste after a few pear ciders. Poppadoms, naan breads, chapattis and pathoras, zingy citrus salads and raita, pickles and chutneys and tomatoes and tons of picky bits that make up the starters and accompaniments to most Eastern meals. And if you’re feeling even more peckish and want some curry to wash those down, well look no further than the great value Saffron Express.
With such low prices, as Sophie says you can afford to mix and match — my most preferred way of eating. It’s simple, clean takeaway food, not focussing on too many things at once (I’m always wary of the place that tries to accomplish kebabs, pizzas and curries in one kitchen. It’s just not natural). I discovered it via my Prestwich companion who took me there to grab a few stomach-​liners for our evening of beverages and it worked out splendidly. In fact, I’m a bit upset I don’t have one of these down the road from me.
Never mind, just another excuse to go see that chum again. I mean, not that I’d focus on the food… wait, yes I would.

Writing all these reviews has made me realise just how much money I spend on food (i.e. not from the supermarket). I must endeavour to find a cookbook and rediscover the lost art of knowing exactly what you are eating.
That said, when food tastes as good as it does from Saffron Express I’d just say put the whisk and chopping board away my friends. I don’t think its been here very long but me and my friends discovered this the other week — we were cruising around in my friend’s car looking for somewhere we could grab some food. You see, after a few bad run ins with waiting forever for home delivery, we prefer to take matters into our own hands.
Saffron Express is pretty good value for money — for under a tenner, you get three different curries plus loads of pilau rice etc. With cheap prices comes mediocre tastes but we were all plesantly surprised. We’ll definitely be trying here again for the next film night — good food to share/​mix and match.
