When translated, 'desi khana' means traditional home cooking and that's exactly what Saffron Desi, an Indian restaurant in Leeds Road provides. A stylish ambiance of leather banquet seats, wooden floors, and lights that change with the mood welcomes customers.

With chefs that have catered for the likes of Princess Diana and more recently Prince William, Saffron Desi offers an experience that combines tasty traditional and modern cuisine with warm Indian hospitality.
