Dear Lois,
11/10 - we love that rating! Thank you so much!
You're so right - the difference between proper butcher-quality meat and supermarket meat is massive. No added water, no fillers, just good honest halal meat. Really glad you can taste that difference.
Looking forward to your next order!

Updated review.
UPDATE: since leaving this review i had a helpful conversation with one of the team. He listened to my concerns, and offered solutions to my feedback regarding packaging. Thank you.
Time will tell if the quality of the chicken is as I came to expect from my initial order.
I will update my feedback in due course.
__________________________________________
Ive mainly ordered chicken from Saffron Alley about 3 times. The first time I was please, the meat was clean, didn't smell and seemed good quality. Delivery was in the morning. The meat was cold but not -2c as claimed on the website.
However, the most recent time my order was quite large, over 8kg. The meat came in a cardboard box that looked like it had been thrown around. There were only 2 ice gel packs that were completely defrosted so sadly some of the meat had to be thrown out. It was grey and smelt bad! Which makes me think the meat isn't as fresh as they claim?
The rest of the chicken was okay, but sadly a little smelly.
Customer service isn't great, as there is no email address that ic lould find to give my feedback. There was a number, but I'm not sure the person on the other end of line fully understood what I said.
Overall, I've not been overly impressed. The claims on the website sound reassuring. Other that my order at the beginning of November '25, I've not been too happy with what we've recieved. Its sad that standards have dropped..

Can do much better
Pros
Access to grass fed meat, easy ordering and delivery. Has some good cuts. Customer service emails are relatively efficient.
Cons
There have been several issues with the meat from this store.
1. Leg mince with excessively high fat content
2. Lamb shoulder with neck pieces in the bag and too many bones
3. Badly butchered qurbani meat
4. Smelly chicken meat
5. Irregular cuts
6. Extremely unhealthy additives
7. Chicken with bruised bones
Despite informing them of the issues it is appearing they have unethical standards. Do not buy any of their processed or minced products.
Read the labels carefully.

Turkey - Free range and grass-fed
Ordered the grass-fed free range Turkey. Although it came a day late (courier fault) the turkey was absolutely delicious. I have never had such a juicy tender chicken. I did brine the turkey which probably helped too. It was a bit pricey but well worth it for odd occasions.

Dear Ibrahim,
Thank you for such an honest and detailed review - we really appreciate it!
We're sorry the courier was a day late, that's frustrating and we understand. But we're really glad the turkey itself was absolutely worth it - juicy, tender and delicious is exactly what we aim for. Those grass-fed free-range birds are a cut above and it sounds like yours did not disappoint!
Hope to serve you again on your next special occasion.

Reasonably okay
I have been regularly ordering because of the quality meat. However I think the cuts need to be better. The size of boti is often large.

The Best!
The choice of food is large and essentially the animals are farmed halal and not just slaughtered halal.
I think the minimum order for delivery is very reasonable and the honestly the quality of meet is outstanding.
So far I have tried a variety of Chicken, beef and lamb options inc chicken livers
The customer service is 5*
So happy for such a business to exist as I often feel conflicted about the source is the meat and farming practices.
Could not recommend highly enough!

Proactive customer service
UPDATE:
Saffron Alley got in touch with me and informed me of the changes that they're going to implement to alleviate some of the concerns I had listed in my original review. I really appreciate how they actually took in the feedback and are making real effort to improve; not exactly common nowadays! They did what they could to make things right and their customer service alone makes this an option to consider above other competitors. I look forward to trying them again, they have a great range of unique products that you'd be hard-pressed to find at your local halal butchers.

This was my first order from Saffron…
This was my first order from Saffron alley. I ordered 4 ribeye steaks, 2kg chicken wings, 1kg beef mince, 1kg lamb mince and 2kg of chicken breast. Everything came in freezer ready packaging that kept well.
First the steaks. Flavour was absolutely delicious. Slightly thicker than I like so had to cut it in half. One didn't smell great (bit eggy) so got thrown away.
Chicken wings were the best wings ive ever had. Very fresh and no bleeding under the skin or broken wings, only query is one bag was double joint one one flats & drums. I don't know why but would like the option to choose.. Will definitely purchase those again.
Lamb mince I just didn't like, overground and smelled terrible. Beef Mince was very nice but again over ground. So I don't think ill buy the mince again.
I haven't used the chicken breast yet but they looked good.

Safe to consume?
So am used to shop from Saffron Alley,
But this time I wasn't very impressed by my delivery and am questioning if is even safe to consume what I ordered
So today I received some beef fat and found some cycst and when trying to cut it in cubes I have found yellow colour inside the fat so is this safe?
And one pc of ribs I have ordered was gray looking so very not impressed about this .

Antwoord van Saffron Alley
Hi Kawthar,
Thank you for your continued support, and we’re really sorry to hear you were left worried about whether the order is safe to consume. We understand how concerning this is, especially when something looks different to what you expected.
On the points you mentioned: colour variation in beef fat can sometimes happen naturally (fat can range from white to cream/yellow depending on factors like diet and the cut), and some pieces can also have small glands/knots that are normally trimmed during prep. That said, if you’ve found anything that looks unusual (such as cyst-like spots) or if there’s any off smell/slimy texture, we’d always advise not consuming it and letting us investigate urgently.
For the ribs looking grey: some meats can appear darker/greyer due to normal oxidation and how they’ve been vacuum packed, but it should not smell unpleasant or feel sticky. If you’re unsure, please don’t eat it; our team will review it with priority.
Please could you send us your order number or the email address used to place the order (you can message us privately).
Once we have these details, we’ll investigate with our quality team and come back to you with the appropriate resolution. You can also contact us directly via our Contact Us page.
Kind regards,
Team Saffron Alley
