This small cafe is situated near to Hayballs, so while my bike was being serviced I popped in for a mid morning snack. I tried something new for me - an Indian breakfast. Owners were friendly and helpful with choices, food was excellent too.

I thought I’d try something different from the A-typical English breakfast I’d usually have. Great customer service, clean and fairly priced. The food was also outstanding; Highly recommended

I found a little gem of an Indian Restaurant, while conducting some business in Churchfield recently . The welcome was Very Friendly and Warm. The Menu was explained to me with patience, and I decided on a Potato Samoosa as a starter, and for main a Beef Curry and Rice. The food was Absolutely Delicious and was one of the Best Curries I've had in a Very Very Long time. Its Proper home cooking with all the Delicious Flavours that comes with It. Prepared with Love by the Chef, and Well Priced , A Little Gem in the Industrial Estate where you'll find the Best Curries in Salisbury. Congratulations, Hard work and Determination does pay off.

Always friendly and welcoming with delicious food at reasonable cost. Saffron Blues Cafe recently hosted a wonderful evening dinner party for 10 of us and the Indian dishes were authentic and really tasty. Open lunchtimes and more recently in the evening. Lovely staff who go the extra mile and provide a warm family atmosphere in this quirky little cafe with indoor and outdoor seating. I can’t praise it enough. Don’t miss it!

Such a cute little place!! Popped in after a long walk for a little quick snack. Got the samosas and they were banging!! BEST samosas I’ve ever had! So much flavour and they were big and plump!!! Nothing like the flat ones you see in shops ect. Very surprised and very impressed. The menus looks and sounds lush so absolutly coming back to taste more!

Stopped here off the cuff after a walk around the water meadows. Ordered a quick snack, so samosas it was. Honestly the best samosa I've eaten in my life and the wife agreed. Huge, flavoursome, lovely spice. Next time I'm there for a walk or in Salisbury i will make sure to stop by and stock up. Staff were really really nice, friendly and welcoming too, good work guys looking forward to trying more.
