Saffron Soho is the current name of the Indian restaurant formerly known as Maharaja Soho at 63 Old Compton Street. The same Soho dining room continues to welcome theatre crowds, hospitality workers and late night diners, with reservations and walk-in tables available every day.

The menu begins with small plates and tandoori dishes suited to sharing. Marinated chicken, lamb, seafood and vegetables are cooked with carefully blended herbs and spices, providing smoky, aromatic starters before the curries.

Classic Indian dishes, chef specialities, balti recipes and biryani offer a range of heat and richness. Thali meals provide a structured selection, while rice, naan, lentils and vegetable sides make it easy to build a varied meal across the table.

The restaurant stays open late, making it a useful option after performances and nights out in central London. Guests with allergies or dietary requirements should consult the current menu and speak with staff about nuts, dairy, gluten and kitchen preparation before ordering.

Address: 63 Old Compton Street, Soho, London W1D 6HT, England
