My third time at Thai Saffron was definitely the charm. I hadn't been in almost 10 years, and I'm sorry I didn't come back sooner. The food was beautiful and everything overall was good. If you're getting a starter, beware that their portions are far smaller than any other Thai restaurant I've been to. The Chicken Curry Puffs only come in twos, where everywhere else comes in fours, but I guess you can then still fit in your main meal. I must say, I couldn't taste the chicken in the puffs, but either way, the flavour was lovely. The fried rice was beautiful, fresh, moist (sorry, I can't think of another adjective to say "not dry") and tasty. Onion lovers will rejoice with the massive chunks found in the dish, but I could have done with a bit more refined chopping (for my taste). Overall, Thai Saffron is a great local gem if you want a nice casual meal out. You can hear yourselves even over other tables, and the service and food were great. Parking CAN be challenging at times, but I wouldn't let that deter you from giving this a go. It's definitely well worth it! read more

See all

Went with my family for dinner. Staff very friendly and provided a great service. We had pad thai, seafood stir fry dish and the special beef massaman curry. The food was a bit cold, but that's not the reason for the 3 star rating, the food was way too sweet, these dishes are normally a bit sweet, but they were sickly sweet!! The starter satay chicken and veggie spring rolls were nice. Kids liked them! read more

Excellent restaurant and great value for money. Two great dishes to try are the Yellow Chicken Curry and the Pad Thai (one of the best in Melbourne). It's always popular so come early, or late. This is the best restaurant in Brighton, although there's not much competition. read more

The best Thai in Brighton. Super fresh and tasty.

This is the best weekday take away restaurants in Brighton. Great value and quick service. We've eaten in on a Friday night and love that it's a BYO. I love their special duck dishes, and they're great about customizing heat to your liking. My partner always orders the Gai Tod, and I like the Pad Pug Rummit and any of their soups. read more

Absolutely the best Thai you'll have. Yellow chicken curry brings my friends over from north side, I win!

3.5 stars. Conveniently located BYOB Thai restaurant. We had a nice night here with spring rolls, tom yum soup, salad with peanut sauce, fish cakes. Food was tasty and service was good, but I didn't find anything particularly memorable about the place. I'd return, but not until after checking out other Thai options in the area. read more
