Next the staff said “you should ask me first”. I was pissed at this point but tried to be calm and said, there was no one at the enterance and he responded saying “I can’t be there all the time”.
Me along with my friends thought it was a little too much of attitude and said between us “let’s leave” to which the staff replied, “yes go”.
Firstly, there was no board saying “Please wait to be seated” (remember Dennys or La Porcheta).
Secondly, there was no sign that the table was taken, not even a sign saying reserved, so a simple explanation that it was taken could have been enough.
Just because the restaurant is full or they’re making money each day doesn’t mean they can act like arrogant people. The staff who spoke with us (probably the owner) never said please or apologised but was constantly rude and arrogant. We did not regret leaving the restaurant as it gave us a chance to try “Jay Jalaram” in Sandringham and it was awesome.
I am never ever going to Saffron again and strongly suggest, if you want to be treated like customers and respected please do not go to Saffron. Wish only if I had a way to lodge a formal complaint against them. Good bye Saffron, you guys suck!!!

its expensive for one – also the curry is substandard, pureed sauce with no texture. not to mention these guys looked like they wanted to save on the curries by putting in less spices. it tasted like they were serving up tinned curry.
disappointing and arogant people
thanks
