Dont be put off by the weeknight food offers, they dont need to do this, the food is worth every penny. They really cram them in, so booking in advance is definitely adviseable.

After reading reviews we had great expectations for Titash…read more Booked a table for 7.30pm and on arrival there was a queue of diners waiting to be seated (good sign we thought) We weren't seated until around 8pm. The restaurant was busy and noisy and as mentioned in other reviews it was camped. It took a while before someone came to offer drinks and poppadoms etc. As we hadn't been given a drinks menu they gave us some more time but it ended up being about 20 minutes before someone came back. Drinks arrived but the Cobra draught beer was completely flat so ended up with bottled beer which we had to chase to get. Poppadoms arrived. We then ordered our main dishes. Then the tables next to us were filled by a group of 16 men who some of which turned out to be the noisiest, rowdy, most obnoxious diners we'd ever been seated near. Although it was only 4 or 5 of them making the row the noise really was unbearable. A couple next to them and us asked to be moved but as there were 6 of us there were no other seats so we couldn't do that. Other diners were receiving their mains but had ordered after us and we thought they had lost our order. We finally got our food at 9.40pm and were hopeful it was worth the wait. Sadly the food was disappointing too, 2 tikka massalas, 3 madras and a dhansak. Having eaten at many Indian restaurants over the years the food was bland and not the standard we would expect. The bhajees were over cooked, madras were lacking something in the flavour, tikka massalas had way too much coconut making them excessively sweet and the dhansank didn't have that spark it should. The group of men finally left and even the staff were relieved, we had about 20 minutes of quiet before we left. We normally leave a tip but on this occasion we didn't. Genuinely our worst dining experience ever.

Service is out of this world, the food not just fantastic but they will always design dishes around you, The Lobster is to die for and do not know how they do so much of it for the price. Regular special evenings and after 10:30 pm they do put on some music in the new Private section but not loud ebough to spoil if you are eating around the main part and of course at 10:30 most people have finished unless they specifically have come for this. Overall hard to find fault and in a fabulous location in one of the prettiest parts of Essex.

It seemed like an odd choice initially, the interior and entrance felt like someone's living room and we felt like we stuck out as not being locals, but service was very friendly. It was obvious this is a popular spot in the area. It was very busy and the tables are close together. The decor isn't like your typical curry house, it is more like a pub. Service was quite slow with drinks but all that was forgotten once we got our food. I would definitely recommend thur restaurant for people staying at the AirBnB and for locals alike. Great value for money as well.

The decor is very stylish and modern and very helpful staff who will always try to find you a table however many of you there are. I went with 6 friends the other week and it was 45 minutes until a table was ready so the owner gave us £20 for drinks in the Beehive pub over the road! The overall service was good and food as well although they do try to upsell quite a lot when you place your order on extra side dishes. The only down side is the toilets could do with a revamp and possibly extending the car park which it seems could easily be done. Have had a takeaway as well many times now and not quite as quick as most Indians but always consistent flavour and portion sizes. I feel very lucky to have this on my doorstep, great for socialising with friends as no loud music or drunks being out of town.

I was looking for Indian food in Cambridge, and was recommended Saffron by a friend. I have to say…read morethat while the food is good, the service is just terrible - the next time I'm craving Indian, I will be sure to try a new place before going back here. My party of four came at around 12:30pm on a Sunday for lunch. The place was pretty empty, but it still took forever for us to be asked by a waiter what we wanted. The waiter kept trying to dissuade us from dishes without giving a reason or a suggestion for a replacement, and was pretty surprised that we each wanted rice (not included in any of the meals, by the way). We tried to order naan, but were told that we could not (nor any tandoori dish) because they were cleaning the oven. While I'm all for cleaning ovens, perhaps lunchtime during opening hours is not the time for it? (I also wish they had told us this when we were seated and/or looking at the menus, as opposed to actually in the process of ordering). Our food (3 mains) took an extremely long time to come out of the kitchen - the only other table in there, of one person, had arrived about 15 minutes after us and was served at least 5 minutes before us. When our food finally arrived, the chapathi we had ordered was completely forgotten. The curries themselves (chicken vindaloo, vegetable madras, and chicken dupiaza) were all excellent, with the dupiaza being my favorite. We had ordered paratha since we could not get naan, which was also good. The onion bhaji was nothing too special, but fine enough. The waiter finally brought out the chapathi after we asked about it, and it was decent. While trying to pay, we asked the waiter for change, as we were splitting it among four of us and only had larger bills. The waiter said that they did not have any change, but when we finally worked out who would owe what later and put our bills down, magically the restaurant suddenly had coins for change! (when I told my flatmate about these occurrences, he told me he went there by himself one time and heard the waiters making fun of him behind the small bar due to eating on his own). Any one of these things I would have written off as just a one-time occurrence, but the combination of these combined with the unapologetic and, at times, rude attitude of our waiter will make me warn people to try elsewhere in Cambridge for Indian.

We always seem to end up here with the Cambridge University Brass Band events at the end of one of…read morethe nights. It's like tradition. Concert, pubs, curry. I think the students like to come here because of the £10 deal. I think it includes a poppadom, rice, naan, and a main. And maybe a drink. It's a deal. Unfortunately the food is pretty terrible. I've eaten here twice and both times the curry was pretty mediocre. I think they feel they can get away with a lot because we're dining with the students. They don't know they're dealing with a Yelper! I just wish they'd put more effort into the flavor. It's pretty bland curry. They can do it hotter, but it still doesn't really improve the flavor, just makes your mouth burn. The chutneys with the poppadoms seem like they're out of a jar. The rice portion is stupidly small. The keema naan had barely any lamb mince in it. I'll probably come back because I have to when we're out with the brass band folks. I just wish they'd decide on a better curry house.

You are unlikely to go back to a restaurant when you have had a bad experience even if the dishes taste great. This is not the case with this restaurant, the food is nice and the service is excellent. They have the most courteous and friendly staff you will ever come across, this has given the restaurant a good name over recent years. They have an extensive list of vegetarian option and the wine menu is impressive, but it will do with some more stock. Great tasting food with a brilliant service, that's a bonus.
