Looking for a place near our B&B we settled on going into Thetford for dinner. Fancying something a little different than the normal pub grub an Indian seemed a good... read more choice.
It was a fantastic choice! What a wonderful restaurant, in the heart of the community. From the minute we arrive we were made to feel incredibly welcome. The waiter (who later, it transpired, was the owner too!) was very knowledgable about his dishes and encouraging my cousin to try something different.
She did, and declared the Nawkabi Khana dish the best Indian she'd ever eaten. I was boring, playing it safe with korma and boiled rice but it was cooked to perfection.
After we weren't rushed out, but was able to join the warm and friendly atmosphere. We also got to chat more to the owner who was young, enthusastic and clearly had become a part of his community. So impressive. I am only sorry its a two hour drive from where I live! Go, you'll love it!mrsbsouthend

But also a lovely intimate restaurant feel too. This place is the gem of Thetford. Easy parking, not quite where google maps says it is! We feel like we’ve made new friends!
This family deserve to have a much larger venue to showcase their skill in hosting and the art of cooking.mattcI1855II

Wow. We are visiting Thetford and decided we fancied an Indian meal. We searched trip advisor and New Saffron came up with a 5 star review. We decided to se... read more whether a table was available and see for ourselves if the restaurant was worthy of its review status.
We were not disappointed. We got the last available table. Service was spot on and a table was immediately set. We ordered and ate poppadoms whilst waiting - these were fresh, neither dry nor oily.
Our starters arrived very well presented. These were delicious and certainly lived up to 5 stars. Out mains arrived shortly after - agin we were not disappointed.
We will return in our next visit. The food is amazingly fresh, tasty and well prepared. Service cannot be faulted. Would score 6 out of 5 !!!Sharon C

I can honestly say that this is THE best Indian Restaurant I have ever been to!!! The staff are wonderful, the place is clean and well looked after. My Wife didn’t know what to order and they concocted a dish that was perfect for her. The vegetable dishes were perfectly spiced , not over cooked and not smothered in tomatoes. Actually, really lovely ! Most of all though THE FOOD!!!!! The best Indian food we have ever had , and we eat out a lot! The rice is beyond belief.. absolutely beautiful.

Excellent tandoori chicken and lamb shashlik. Really enjoyed the hospitality even though the couple next to me were in deep conversation about Brexit! I would recommend this restaurant and its excellent cuisine to anyone.
