Authentic Indian Cuisine in Derry-Londonderry
At Saffron Modern Indian Restaurant, we have dedicated ourselves to bringing authentic Indian cuisine to Derry-Londonderry since 1984. Our journey began with India House, established by our family who migrated from India in 1965, and evolved in 2013 when we relocated to a central location near the Peace Bridge under the name Saffron Modern Indian Restaurant. Drawing on generations of culinary heritage from the Punjab region, we combine time-honoured family recipes with expertise honed through decades of hospitality experience. Our menu, crafted with guidance from Nepalese masterchef Shinga-Raj Shrestha, balances traditional tandoori and vegetarian dishes with contemporary tastes.Recognised by TripAdvisor's Certificate of Excellence, we prioritise quality ingredients, coeliac-friendly options, and flexible service including takeaway and bespoke catering for events. With takeaway available six days a week and a commitment to preserving Indian culinary traditions, we remain deeply connected to our community while serving both locals and visitors alike.
