blu saffron

absolute attention to detail...some lovely food offerings from comfort good old classics all the way through to something different...i did expect it to be busier on a friday afternoon...but it was relaxed and we enjoyed every drop of the meal!

stay away from the special menu items. i had the misfortune to select the lamb curry at r180 for the dish. i ended up with 2 bowls of bones and about 50 gram of meat. by the way a meal for 2 without drinks came to r700.

i have been meaning to try this spot out for quite some time and was lucky enough to finally get there last night.
to begin with, hank van heteren and peter, are some of the most articulate and passionate people that i have met in the south african restaurant industry and it really does shine through in their meal presentations and quality.

blu saffron, located in the pretoria country club has an ideal location if not one of the best. this is by no means a small restaurant either boasting two lounges, a bar, a main dining area, and an outside patio with couches, tables and chairs overlooking the first tee.
both charne and jasmin, our attentive hostesses for evening visits that i have been here, were always on hand to top up our glasses or assist. 5/5 on service - i am just never disappointed!the food: over several visits, i have tried their famous biltong soup with spring onions and it was sublime! there is certainly a reason that this soup is famous! then i moved onto their recommended lamb shoulder which was cooked to perfection and finished up the meal with a creamy cappuccino!

all in all, a very pleasant experience and i didn't regret making the trek to pretoria for a night out at all! i will be back!

last saturday's wedding was magnificent, wonderful service and the best cuisine ever. top ratings for a splendid evening. prawn tempura, duck l'orange and the lamb shank were out of this world. thank you blu saffron. we will return with out a doubt.

what an awesome dinner experience we had. we were a party of 6 seated outside on the veranda. we were welcomed by great ambiance and the service to match that. charmaine was excellent and attended to all our needs. our dinner order came without fault and there was not one plate that was sent back without being wiped clean. will definitely return asap

our first meal out after lockdown. we chose to go to dinner at 4pm, a bit early but we knew it would be quiet, all the protocols were carefully followed, at the same time it was a really lovely family dinner. despite only drinking away on a glass of non-alcoholic wine, we only left at 18:30. there is something to be said about holding a long stemmed glass filled with red liquid and having your meal of choice served to you. the food was outstanding and so was the service! wishing restaurants owners and their staff much strength and resilience during this time, it cannot be easy. rest assured we shall be back!

i have never left a negative review in my life, but dear me, i also think that you can expect some sort of standard when you go out to eat. unfortunately, the standard of food at this restaurant last night for my daughter’s 21st b-day was very poor. honestly, i never complain in a restaurant, but for goodness sake, if you charge people, and quite a bit of money, you must give something back.

the cappuccino was not up to scratch. the espresso was bitter - timing to long. the froth was a foam bubble. the steam wand on the machine was not properly cleaned which explains it. the rump was not tender - visit the hillside tavern for as reference.

celiac friendly! very impressed by the cheff knowing that wasabi does contain gluten and therefore altered the meal to accommodate my father's celiac disorder. no trace of cross contamination. top class food. lovely vibes. friendly staff all around

decided to try out blu saffron for a birthday dinner. reserved a table outside and specifically mentioned that it is for a birthday. the view was exquisite (view of the spectacular golf course). this is where the fun began. after 15 mins of waiting for someone to assist, i went to one of the hostesses to find out who is serving us. places drink orders and it was brought to our table in a reasonable time. starter orders were taken (springbok carpaccio and duck pâté). both starters were good. after a while our mains orders were taken (blu rump and oven roasted pork neck). the rump was cooked to perfection, can’t say the same about the pork neck. it was more on the tough side and the flavours did compliment each other. not recommended from my side. i’ve been to other restaurants where if you mention that it is a birthday dinner, they will make it special for the birthday person. did not happen tonight...

great place for sunday lunch, nice atmosphere. ordered the blue cheese and garlic snails-10/10. we had the tomato soup with gin as well.- 6/10. for mains we had a fillet grilled med-rare. 7/10 unfortunately the steak was still a bit rare. lastly we had the thai curry- 5/10 nothing special. nevertheless, we had a good time and i will be back for another shot.

we were here for a friends 21st birthday on thursday, the venue is absolutely gorgeous with the most amazing atmosphere; the staff are so friendly, welcoming and accommodating; and the food was absolutely incredible!
they cater for both meat lovers and veggies, if you like super spicy then the curry is the dish for you!
would definagely recommend this restaurant for a special night out with your loved ones

it's always a pleasure visiting blu saffron. the manager is probably one of the best in sa and the food is always perfect. staff can be a bit up-tight depending on who you get but all in all a great culinary experience while overlooking one of sa's top golf courses.

blu saffron is an upmarket restaurant with a fantastic ambiance. the service was very good and we were made to feel that our custom was valued. the food was of an excellent quality and absolutely delightful. we had a fabulous evening and will definitely return to blu saffron.

great vibe, lovely interior. i really enjoyed all the beautiful paintings. music was perfect, wasn't too loud. you can actually hear the people at the table which i really enjoyed because usually places are too loud. service wasn't bad but it does need some work. food came very quickly. i had chicken schnitzel with cheese sauce and it really wasn't good. it was very dry. wollies schnitzel is better but i had a salad with it and the salad was amazing. the cheese sauce was good. would go back.
