Polished modern Indian near Marylebone with warmly praised service and standout curries; quality is generally high but portions are modest and pricing plus service charge can sting.
Zaffran UK delivers strong food quality with well-executed curries and paneer, supported by attentive, personable service and polished modern decor. However, inconsistent execution in lamb and biryani and tight seating in a compact room prevent grade A territory, while modest portions and separate side charges at central London pricing create value friction. Solid neighborhood choice with warm hospitality, though not a destination restaurant.
One caveat: Pricing is genuinely expensive (£21-25 mains, rice/bread extra) which may surprise casual diners
