The Saffron Club is an Indian and Nepalese restaurant at 39 Tranquil Vale in Blackheath Village. It offers table reservations as well as collection and delivery, with a menu designed for relaxed dinners, family meals and sharing several starters before a curry.
Onion bhaji, vegetable samosa and chilli paneer sit beside Himalayan lamb momos and salmon marinated with spices before grilling. Tandoori lamb chops and paneer tikka highlight the charcoal cooked side of the kitchen and provide substantial opening plates.
The main selection moves through korma, masala and other curry styles, with breads and rice available to build a complete meal. Chicken, lamb, seafood and paneer choices let a table compare mild, creamy preparations with dishes carrying greater heat and spice.
Vegetarian starters and curries give meat free diners several options rather than a single substitute. Dairy, nuts, gluten and other allergens can occur in sauces, breads and marinades, so guests with allergies should confirm the latest ingredients and preparation with the restaurant.
Address: 39 Tranquil Vale, Blackheath, London SE3 0BU, England
