Saffron Indian Cuisine

Saffron is one of the more established Indian takeaways in central Arbroath, trading from the Millgate — the short street that drops north off the High Street toward the Brothock Burn. The shop runs as a takeaway-and-delivery operation rather than a sit-down restaurant, with collection orders and online ordering through the in-house Saffron Arbroath site and the standard delivery platforms.

The kitchen draws from the Bangladeshi-British curry-house tradition: appetisers of samosa, pakora and chicken chaat at the front of the menu, then the long curry list of korma, dhansak, pasanda, bhuna, balti and madras grades, with a tandoori section for the sizzling-plate orders and a biryani section served with separate vegetable curry. Saffron also runs a pizza, burger and grilled-steak section — a working concession to the mixed-takeaway expectations of an Arbroath late-evening menu. Reviews flag the hospitality of the staff and the consistency of the standard curry-and-rice orders.

All food at Saffron is certified halal — the operator markets the shop on that basis. Trade runs through the evening from late afternoon to midnight; orders are taken until close.
