In love! In love! In love with MemSaab! In the heart of Notts, this place proved to be a gem which took all my emotions when I entered this exquisite yet desi locale!
After waiting for few minutes(though we didn't present ourselves with a prior reservation, we were decently allowed a graceful console. There was a game in my mind for food vs ambiance but you know what? Both won! Lol..
Enunciating about ambiance, it was mind blowing with low lit candle lights everywhere, the view was indeed great!
Food, I am wondering what words I need to put for it, the taste was just out of the box, similar taste to Taj Mumbai.
We ordered Saag Paneer, dal maakhni along with garlic naans! Each bite was bringing more smiles on my face as this was the best place in Notts for Indian food.
Succulent paneer cubes were so soft they were getting dissolved as soon we took them.
Dal maakhni too had indian touch with creamy gravy and perfectly boiled kidney beans!
Service was flawless, no doubt! The stewardship was quote amazing from the settlement till see off!
Very nice food, overall a truly amazing place to visit with kith n kins! #MustVisit.
Last night in Nottingham and we decided to have Indian and landed up being here. However heard of this place from students who live here and have tried and tested this place socially my brother and his family love this restaurant. Spacious, sophisticated, fine dine. The best thing about this place is hospitality. Customer satisfaction and customer service are the 2 keys things every employee of the restaurants loves by. Overall food, taste,presentation, quantity, quality everything was perfect. The Garlic Chili vegetable was yum along with cheese Chili garlic naan. The Tarka Daal is simply amazing. I would definitely want to done here again and again if I were living here.
Weary going 'desi' in the UK. The cuisine is best suited for the non-'desi' palette. However I was delightfully surprised by MemSaab, spot in prime Nottingham. Before entering, one sees the praises bestowed and awards won. But the test of the 'kadhai' is in the taste.
It started with a seafood and meats tandoori platter and they had me from start. The lightly flavoured minty grilled prawns were terrific. So was the salmon, handsomely flavoured. The lamb chops were perfect as were the kebabs. I'd definitely recommend Memsaab for its starters. They have a fine selection of wines, malts and beers.
The other stars on the dining table were the chicken 'kadhai' - certainly a full bodied preperation. The prawns in a tomato-garlic gravy were just fine as was dal makhni. The pulao didn't find favour with me. It could have been elevates to an elitist rice dish with a little more spicing; an aromatic bay leave and clarified butter go a long way.
The other big highlight is that the staff run the extra mile if you have come to dine with child. The hot chocolate didn't really feature on the menu, but when my son wanted some, he sure got some.
On my #BurpAndBelch meter: 4.5
#5WordFoodReview: Nottingham Gets Spicier With MemSaab
There are many Indian restaurants in Nottigham, however very few places give good food, one of those places is memsaab.
The menu is planned very creatively and the dishes sound very attractive. I had the venision kebab for starter and kashmiri chicken as main, both dishes were very well spiced and were full of flavour.
The kebab melted in my mouth and had a very peculiar sauce inside which complimented the meat very well, my main was not as good as the starter I felt that it required more spice, also it had an excessive amount of oil. To end my meal I ordered one portion of gulab jamun with vanilla bean ice-cream, it was presented very well and was very nice.
All in all memsaab is a good place for Indian food, one of the finer Indian restaurants.
Went the other night. Wait staff were courteous & attentive. Food was outstanding. Could not recommend it higher. Best Indian food in notts by far.
It is a great place to eat the service is fantastic and the food is tremendos 10/10
Fantastic (and often unique) food - not quite the normal fare you usually get in an Indian. Probably my favourite place to eat in Nottingham (or at least in the top 3!)
Wonderful, definitely the best in Nottingham
Fantastic example of Indian food. Probably the best an Indian restaurant in Nottingham.
Good:
Friendly staff generally.
Good quality ingredients.
Very clean toilets.
Responsive management.
Could be better:
Staff could be more proactively attentive.
Lack of continuity in service (customers who came in after us had their orders taken before us, and seemed to be given a different level of service).
Chairs could do with a professional clean.
Service charge shouldn't be automatically added to the bill.
For the price paid I think the above comments are fair. Overall it's worth a visit, and I'd to thank the manager for the complimentary champagne after discussing our experience 🍾
This was probably my second or third time to have dinner in this place and just like always the dishes served tasted great and the service was very convenient and friendly. I made an online reservation and then made a slight change on it and all was properly handled. The staff was helpful and gave recommendations on what and how much to order so we ended up with good tasty choices and no leftovers. The place offers halal food and the staff was clear in confirming this fact and highlighting one menu item only that wasn’t. So if you are looking for this type of food then this place is a good choice. Expect to pay around 30 pounds per person for a satisfactory meal.
The ambience was beautiful, in fact I'd say the cover photo on here doesn't do it justice. The service was excellent -, genuine recommendations on sides to help us not over order for a start! Polite, professional and warm. The food was enjoyed by everyone, mostly meat eaters plus me, one vegan. As food is marked as vegetarian and/or containing dairy, I was able to pick items veggie and no dairy and then check if they were vegan which they were - based on this, there's a reasonable amount of choice. When naans were ordered for the table and I said I don't have that as it contains dairy, the waiter very politely and kindly suggested to the group to swap one of our naan portions for roti so I could have some. Everything was just wonderful, I would go back in a flash. I wish I'd taken photos... but I did take a video of the toilet, you'll see why if you watch it! Never seen this feature before hahaha!
Went for husband’s birthday. Travelling through Nottingham, and had read really good reviews about this place. Arrived on a Saturday and the restaurant was really busy, which was a good sign for us! Food and service did not disappoint. Service was fast, friendly and attentive. Food was one of the best Indian cuisines we have ever eaten! The garlic chilli dish is a must! As a vegetarian, there were many options and portion sizes were generous. And to top it off, the staff brought out a cheesecake with a candle for the husband, which was unexpected but really appreciated! We had a great time and would definitely recommend this place to others. Only saddened by the fact it’s not closer to home but if we are ever passing by the area again, we would definitely visit again!
The manager along with the staff looked after us always checking if we are okay etc. Food was delicious, atmosphere was lovely I appreciate a restaurant without loud music on the background where you can have a conversation. Would definitely recommend to friends and family. Make sure you try lamb chops.
I went there recently and when I walked in I was hit by an Indian atmosphere and a smell of expensive perfume. When we sat down the menus were so fancy and nice. The service was really good and Quick. Overall it was a solid 9/10
Brilliant food and service as always. It has been a restaurant that I kept recommending to friends. It has the right level of customer service and food is authentic to a level that no other Indian restaurant can match. I was lucky to find this place!
Lovely food, very friendly staff against good prices! For the kids they even make chicken korma (was not on the menue). Our son loved it!
Surprisingly swift service, not hurried just efficient. The staff were friendly and professional. The food was very good quality, piping hot and the portions were generous. We went early evening on a Friday, around 6pm and there were already 5 or 6 other parties. It's a fairly large dining room with plenty of tables and despite the fairly low number of guests still had a good atmosphere.
I would say that it's similar to two or three other restaurants in this row but I was most impressed by the snappy service.
The best Indian restaurant experience ever, from the charming staff to the ambience to the food, every mouthful a delight. Looking forward to another visit. Praised some years ago by the renowned food critic A A Gill and justly deserved.
