If you’re in Lydney and want to add a little spice to your life, take a visit to Saffron Balti for a traditional Indian curry experience. This cosy restaurant and takeaway specialises in vegetarian cuisine, offering diners hot and tasty curries, biryani, bhajis and more to leave you with that satisfying chilli zing. The homely bright red interior makes you reminiscent of your favourite local Indian takeaway and the comforting family friendly atmosphere is everything you want a curry house to be. The restaurant boasts an open-plan kitchen where you can see your dishes come together and gawk at other spicy creations in the making.
The curry house is open seven days a week for dinner from 5pm, including on bank holidays and dishes up authentic Indian flavours to warm you from the inside out. The casual dining restaurant invites diners to bring their own booze or order fizzy drinks and juices from the menu.
Saffron Balti serves up a variety of traditional Indian dishes from vindaloo to tandoori chicken, madras curries and Balti dishes. Try out one of the chef’s specialities such as the classic north Indian Jaipuri Chicken, a hot and sour curry with hints of tamarind and chilli paste. Another favourite includes the creamy south Indian Emily Maya King Prawn, a mild prawn curry simmered with coconut milk, spices and curry leaves. We recommend ordering one of the many naans on the menu or a spiced papadum to scoop up every last mouthful of the tasty curry sauce.
If you are looking for an inexpensive all-in-one meal for you and a partner, take up the offer of a set meal for two at under £30. The restaurant also provides catering for up to 35 people, perfect for a big social gathering over a hearty curry. Saffron Balti has a limited number of tables available so we recommended booking before your arrival and phoning to pre-order your takeaway to avoid a long wait.
