What Our Customers Say


Food was so good we returned the following evening for another meal with friends also holidaying in the area. The choice of food on the menu was second to none and the staff are very friendly. It’s a popular restaurant so advisable to book.

Food is always excellent, freshly cooked with fresh ingredients and tastes all the better for it. Portions are ample, price is reasonable, and the food is so good it makes this a no-brainer for a visit or takeaway.

Saffron is a small restaurant that serves very good food. The service was very prompt and personal. Despite its small size you can reserve a table – thoroughly recommended.

Excellent food, very good prices. It’s a bit of a gem in Innerleithen. Nice and small. Which means getting a table can be an issue sometimes but they do takeaway as well. We’ve been going since it opened and it’s consistently good.

This restaurant was amazing. We were greeted by and served by who I believed to be the owner. The service was fantastic but the food was literally some of the best I’ve ever had. The flavors are so authentic & the portions are large. Very healthy.

Excellent family friendly restraurant. Managed to make my boy a special freshly cooked dairy, gluten and tomato free curry which he loved. This will now become a regular family outing. Staff are all very friendly and helpful.

Treated my friends to one of Innerleithen fabulous eateries. Can’t complain as everything is top notch! Just wish we could dine here more often. Staff very helpful and cant do enough for you.
