“ This is a hidden gem in St.Albans and if you are local, one you must try. The food, standards of service and ambience are outstanding! I was there last night, incredibly they are still running the “Eat out to help out” at their own expense! Mon - Wed (50% off food only) Max £10 Thurs and Sun (25% off food only) Treat yourself at bargain prices, the “speciality” dishes are amazing!! ”
“ First time eating here for me and i will definitely be returning. Lovely intimate atmosphere and staff were friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. The food was amazing, all 6 of our party agreed it was the best curry tgey could remember. Price was reasonable and all in all a really nice night out. Highly recommended. ”
“ Just ordered a meal from Zaffran. I have to say it was the best Indian meal I've had in a long time. Didn't really know who to choose. So i went with my decision based on the reviews. 4.9 - I thought i had to add to that with another 5* review. Well done guys, I'll definitely be calling you again. Stop offering discounts the food is amazing, if anything you should put your prices up. Mark ”
“ I called up before and asked them to do a lamb chop curry with heat which they did and it was lovely and I really appreciated it! I would have given 5 stars but the normal lamb curry I ordered today didn't have much flavour and was a bit watery. However, my partner had the chicken vindaloo and he said it was really tasty. Will try something different again next time! ”
“ We tried this place for takeaway a couple of times when we first moved to St Albans and enjoyed. Then we progressively tried other places with mixed results. Returned to Zaffran One yesterday and now wondering why we ever went elsewhere. Truly excellent food, tasty, good prices and portion sizes. Above all the menu choice is great, particularly when accommodating non-meat eaters with excellent seafood and vegetarian options. Strongly recommended. ”
