Best Takeaway Indian Restaurant in Waterloo, Liverpool

Welcome To Saffron

Saffron is a family-run Indian and Nepalese restaurant in the heart of Waterloo, Liverpool. We bring together two great culinary traditions under one roof: the rich, slow-cooked curries and tandoor-fired classics of North India, and the lighter, spice-balanced Himalayan dishes of Nepal, momos, thukpa, sekuwa and dal bhat. Every dish on our menu is cooked to order using fresh, premium ingredients and our own blend of hand-ground spices.

Whether you’re looking for a relaxed dinner near Waterloo station, a top restaurant in Waterloo for a date night, a curry house near Crosby for a Friday takeaway, or somewhere to host a family celebration, Saffron is built for the occasion. We serve dine-in guests Tuesday through Sunday from 5pm, with takeaway and online ordering available throughout opening hours.
