Thai Saffron Restaurant - Brighton 135 Church Street, Brighton VIC 3186

"Very poor food quality for the high prices, massaman curry contained large pieces of pure beef fat and the potato in it was virtually uncooked. The curry puffs had no texture and were very mushy. Green chicken curry was sweet and had excessive amounts of coconut cream and very little flavour. Very disappointing overall."

"Had my 50th Birthday here. Pete and I tailored the menu for us beforehand. The food amazing. Had the function room upstairs to ourselves. Brilliant."

"We were looking for a Thai restaurant in Brighton that could accomodate a large group and we were delighted to happen upon Thai Saffron which gave us their upstairs floor private area. One thing to note the access is really poor, pretty much the narrowest staircase I’ve ever seen and the service isn’t as attentive as if you were on the ground floor but there is a bell to ring and the food was so fantastic we would endure those stairs again! Loved my pad Thai and the peanut sauce with roti was so delicious I ordered a second one. To have so many diners so thoroughly enjoy their meal is an impressive feat and we will be back. Conveniently located literally a one minute walk from the station also so we were able to step off the train from the football and be transported straight to yum town"

"Very slow service, food not authentic (not spicy at all) and too sweet/salty. Atmosphere also not authentic to Thai culture. Small portions and relatively pricey."

"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!"
