The Tandoor
✦ The Heart of the Kitchen ✦

The Tandoor —
850°C of tradition.

Our clay tandoor was built by hand and has been fired every day since we opened. It cooks naans in 90 seconds, sears lamb chops with a smokiness no oven could match, and is the reason people keep coming back.

✦ Our Story ✦

From a kitchen
in Hyderabad,
to the Curry Mile.

Our grandmother, Naseema, ran a small family kitchen in Charminar for forty years. The biryani recipe we cook today is hers — pot sealed with dough, finished on coals, opened only at the table.

Mum brought it to Manchester in the 80s. We opened Saffron House on Wilmslow Road in 2008. Same recipes. Same patience. A proper tandoor in the back and three generations on the wall.

Nothing comes out of a jar. The spices are ground each morning. That's why people drive across the city to eat with us.

✦ Kind Words ✦
“Honestly the best biryani in Manchester. We've been coming for ten years and it's always exactly right — proper family-restaurant food, no fuss, no nonsense.”
