Zafran Indian - Rotherham

Not sure they have ever used any spices in any of the dishes as they were bland offerings with no imagination whatsoever. Couldn't quite work out the fact that there were about 6 tables occupied and every one was eating chips. In an Indian restaurant?? Probably been to about 50 Indian restaurants in past 2 years and this comes in at 49th. Trust me, there is better waiting for you beyond the M18 rounabout! This certainly would not survive in a large town/city. Bars over the window reminded me of my days in Rampton, If it is just chips and curry sauce you want, make it at home or go to The Blue Whale!

Kept passing this place over the years, but at last have now made a few visits, what a gem. Home cooking at its best, a straight forward non pretencious small town restaurant that has been around forever. No nonsense home cooked food with individual flavours and no gareish neon colours. Can't see much point in going elsewhere. Good value for money, good staff, no dark corners or annoying piped music.

I have only visited Zafrans for takeout so I cannot provide feedback on the restaurant itself. However, the food must be just as good, if not better, in the restaurant. It is delicious. They even accommodate my picky boyfriend, who always orders a pizza when we visit. It is great that they cater to groups who have trouble deciding on what type of cuisine to choose.

I always order from this restaurant because I love it. I have tried other Indian restaurants nearby, but none of them are as nice as Zafran's.

We opted for takeaway and picked up our meal ourselves from the restaurant. It was absolutely delicious - we enjoyed king prawn tandoori, pilau rice, popadoms, naan bread, and samosas. Everything was fresh and delightful. Their salads, especially the onion salad, were incredibly crisp and tasty.
