New Saffron

New Saffron on St Giles Lane in Thetford has a reputation that extends far beyond this Breckland market town. Some TripAdvisor reviewers name it the best Indian restaurant in East Anglia, and it holds over 1,200 ratings averaging 4.4 out of 5 — an impressive tally for a town of this size. Owner and chef Shipon is known for greeting diners personally and customising dishes to individual taste and preference. Reviewers consistently praise absolutely fresh, fragrant curries with authentic depth of flavour and generous portions. Wednesday and Thursday banquet nights at £12.99, and a Sunday feast at £13.95, are local institutions that draw diners from across the region to this historic Norfolk town — birthplace of Thomas Paine.
