Mem Saab in Leicester

We had an amazing experience, the food was brilliant - full of flavour and spice - every member of staff went the extra mile and were incredibly attentive. The restaurant had a lovely atmosphere and we will definitely be returning!

Great food and service. Highly recommended

went for a family dinner today and the service (especially from welton & raj) was amazing. food was so delicious as well. thank you to all the staff for taking care of us, would really recommend this restaurant & definitely coming back again soon!

We had an amazing meal here last night for a belated birthday treat! We could not fault any part of it. The food was phenomenal and tasted so fresh and bursting with flavour, the wine accompanying was perfect and the attentive service we recieved was amazing. Special mention to Welton who really took care of us. He was so knowledgable and clearly very passionate about giving great service. An amazing evening!

Visited Memsaab for an evening dinner and I wasn't disappointed with the quality of the food, ambience and service. The staff were welcoming and attentive, our server Welton was very good, possessed a good knowledge of the food on offer and made recommendations based on our preferences. The prices and food portions are what you would expect of a fine dining experience, in my opinion the quality is what mattered to me the most and it excelled. I will visit again.

If you want massive potions of food, you won't get it here, what you will get is good quality food of modest potions but thoroughly enjoyable. You will also be full, due to the quality of ingredients used. Service was excellent, I highly recommend

Meemsab is the best restaurant for asian food in Leicester! Both the food , service and atmosphere is great. Welton and his colleagues are great! I couldnt be more thankful and cant wait to come back! Thankyou! We had a variety of curries and the lamb was delicious!

Fantastic restaurant! Great service, lovely staff and wonderful food. Best Indian food we have eaten since India. We visited twice on our short stay in Leicester and are going back later in the year for my birthday! We can really recommend this restaurant.

Had a lovely meal here for my Mum's birthday, they really looked after us, beyond excellent service and food, couldn't have asked for a better evening. Was my first time going and I'm definitely returning, highly recommend.

I recently visited Mem Sabb for the second time, and I was just as impressed as during my first visit! The food was fantastic, and the staff were warm and attentive. The restaurant's decor creates a cozy and peaceful atmosphere, making it a wonderful place to enjoy a meal. I highly recommend

Amazing food and the service was excellent! Nice atmosphere. Highly recommend! Book your table now with friends or family.

Raj and team made sure my husbands surprise birthday meal for 17 guests ran smoothly from the time I booked 6 months prior to the night itself . The food , service and whole experience wasn't 100% first class . I cannot thank the team at Memsaab enough . We will definitely be returning soon .

Delicious food, amazing atmosphere, place looks fabulous + super kind and helpful staff. Defo will be back again!! Thank you for amazing service & dine😊😊

We arrived it was mid week didn’t book but they were happy to receive us we were a table of 6 & the staff was very friendly & helpful in the choices we wanted to make very good wine 🍷 selection I chose something different & good quality meal the main I had chosen was but dry it was seafood but that was my choice mistake

One word...Excellent. I have lived in USA for over 20 years and I have had one craving the entire time I have been there, really good Indian food. When I visited Leicester to see family I knew that Indian food would be top of the list of things to do. I was not disappointed by Mem Saab. The manager came over and introduced himself once we were seated and answered questions about the food. The service was excellent and the food was amazing. If and when I go back to England again I would even make the trip to Leicester just to eat here again it was that good.

Had a meal here last night , what a lovely evening . Customer service was outstanding , the staff really cared and made us feel that we were important to their business and the food well was just amazing . Thank you can’t wait to return .

This place was Fantastic, can't rate it highly enough, even though there was a problem with the booking (totally our fault , not the restaurants) and it was the busy run up to Christmas the restaurant still manned to accommodate us. Food was fantastic, would advise anybody to pay the Mem Saab a visit.

Great service all night. Food was outstanding

Fabulous Indian Great staff Wonderful food Lovely atmosphere Love it here!

Amazing food amazing service! They are super accommodating, very delicious flavoursome food, the staff are super attentive and the manager Raj was very welcoming made us feel so comfortable. Truly a delight and asset to Leicester. Thank all of Mem Saab for having us :)

Fantastic service, brilliant food, very attentive and friendly staff. Definitey will be back!

Went recently to celebrate a family birthday. Felt really well looked after. The staff and the manager really make an effort. The food was excellent.(try the Rajasthani Laal Maas.)

Chisty and the team where amazing they have captured clients for life, im so impressed at the hospitality and quality of the food, by far one of the best if not the best restaurants in the United Kingdom.

Amazing restaurant, the best curry I have ever had. The staff were incredible and could not do enough to help our party of 8, 4 adults 4 children, even brought some chicken pakora out for the kids to try whilst we waited for dinner. Highly recommend to anyone who wants a slap up l, delicious meal.

We met some friends here for a meal, 4 adults 4 children for dinner after bowling. I can’t speak highly enough of the experience from the moment we walked through the door. The staff were great with the kids, they brought starters out straight away to keep them going nothing was a problem. Every dish we had was fresh tasting had deep flavour and not oily or heavy. We will definitely be back,kids and I are looking forward to it already!!

Superb food served in elegant surroundings

Staff were so friendly and attentive and helped us pick the perfect dishes, the food taste great! Would 100% recommend and revisit.

I went with a large group but they made us very welcome and the service was attentive. The menu was really good and the food was tasty.

I revisited Mem Saab yesterday for a birthday celebration and it was even better than the first time. The staff were friendly, professional and courteous throughout, and we didn't at all feel rushed even though we were caught in traffic and were over 20 minutes late. The decor, as ever, is quite lavish and well suited for special occasions. This didn't distract from the food, which was consistently excellent; this is a place that can easily stand on the strength of its food alone. The lamb nihari was rich and the lamb was tender, the chilli chicken wasn't overly dominated by spice and was flavourful and the butter chicken masala was excellent, the best example of the dish I've had. A trip to Mem Saab will cost a little more than your average curry house but then this is no average curry house; it offers a very high standard of food and service in a comfortable, classy setting and is extremely difficult to fault. Judging it purely on the food alone, it's as good as any I've tried in Leicester. We'll definitely be back, thanks again to the team for making it a special meal.

Been a few times when I am visiting Leicester. Always good. The manager has been present every time and is very attentive. My wife tries to be a hero with the spicy food and the manager is on hand to grab some yogurt to calm her down. It is a very good Indian restaurant and I am yet to find a better one. It is pricey compared to a typical curry house but the food is flavoursome and rich which very much justifies it. It has style and the substance excels. My ONLY gripe is the Mango Lassi should be sweeter. The wife has booked a table for 6 of us next month when I return to Leicester so I am just thinking of that amritsari fish and the railway lamb.... nyom nyom!

We went to Mem Saab with my partner for dinner and had an absolutely amazing experience. As French people we tend to be a bit picky when comes to food/restaurants but Mem Saab has been clearly above and beyond our expectations. We could feel a very cosy atmosphere and have had a warm welcome from everyone. The Chef himself came to see us time to time to ensure everything was alright. Walton took great care of us and made sure we choose the best dishes in regards to our preferences. I'd definitely recommend Mem Saab to every food lover and people who are looking for top class restaurant.

Amazing experience! All the staff were very attentive and the food was delicious! Highly recommend! We will definitely make a visit there again next time we're visiting from Texas, USA. Thank you Mem Saab for making a perfect evening for us and our family!

Amazing food I must say , literally hit the spot. Glad I came here but a bit expensive.

Fantástica comida y servicio atento. El equipo incluso trajo gafas de lectura para mi esposa para el menú cuando se olvidó de la suya.

Superb service and attentive throughout the evening. Raj manager ensured we had a great time. Food was best we’ve had for a long time and good value. Highly recommended

We had a lovely evening at Mem Saab for a special family 40th birthday! Great for both atmosphere and food.. and brilliant service from our waiter Chisty and manager Raj. Special birthday dessert was much appreciated, would definitely recommend 😊

Really nice food with outstanding customer service. Staff were all super friendly especially our waiter Chisty as well as the manager. Perfect intimate restaurant to bring your partner too

Lovely restaurant, Chisty is very nice and gives great service

Very good food and service. Chisty was great!

Customer service is very good !

Amazing experience from start to finish! All the food we ate was delicious! Highly recommend!

This meal was outstanding from start to finish. We were well looked after by our waiter Chrishty who gave phenomenal customer care. The food was tasty, flavoursome and well seasoned. The team even gave a complementary cake as it was my wifes birthday. A lovely touch!

Good food overall nice would improve lighting and Welton is the GOAT. Big love Welton listened to customers and was very caring

Lovely restaurant. Not your usual Indian. Very tasty without the usual heat!! I had the lamb and my husband had king prawns. Would definitely visit again if in the area. The service was second to none.

Quite noisy on Tuesday evening. We’ve got the meeting room but we could still hear the noise outside the room even when door shut

From the moment we walked in we knew we had booked the best in the county. The service was first class, taking our coats to start the experience. We were helped with menu as they know the best sellers. We ordered and wow, we were not disappointed as the food was beyond beautiful. The customer service was absolutely 100% in fact since moving here 7 years ago, we have never experienced food or service like it. This restaurant have not only delivered the finest food and service ever, they have rung the bell all round. We cannot wait to return. The choice, the taste, the overall dining experience is delivered at here by Raj and his more than capable team

Okish food, service not the greatest seeing as there was only 2 other tables

Excellent hospitality special mention to Chisty amazing food with warm and beautiful ambiance

Had a fantastic meal out this weekend gone. Food was delicous, amazing ambiance and our waitor Welton was excellent. He was very attentive, explain all the specials well and gave us good recommendations. Will definitly come back

Good food. Used it for a business meeting. Staff was very professional.

Good food and service the manager was very polite..presentation could have been better..enjoid the dinner will definitely go again.

My mum came here a few weeks ago and said it was a must go to. I came here with my partner for his birthday meal and we both agreed this is by far the best Indian we’ve ever been to! The food was amazing, they explained all options and gave advice on what would go well with your meal if you were unsure. They were also very clued up on gluten free (coeliac) and could accommodate different options if required. They were well aware the popadoms were cooked separately and no contaminated with any gluten before I even asked! The service was incredible, we were asked various times if we were ok and if there was anything they could get us. We never had an empty glass or had to ask for a drink as they’d be over just before it was empty and our bottle of wine was poured for us. Thankyou for a great meal!!

I recently celebrated my birthday in the private dining room and from start to finish, the service was absolutely excellent. From the moment I made the booking until the end of the night, Raj and his team were phenomenal in catering to us. It was a truly unforgettable experience. My guests thoroughly enjoyed themselves. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for an intimate birthday venue with delicious food

We went for dinner last night and had a great time, with delicious food. Really friendly and welcoming service by all of the staff who made us feel very homely. Special shout out and thank you to Chisty for making our anniversary dinner so special!

We visited this restaurant after a De Montfort graduation ceremony. It was early evening and although we had no reservation the restaurant was fairly quiet and they were happy to host us. It is well laid out restaurant with clean, fresh and elegant table settings. The staff were extremely welcoming and made you feel very much at home. The menu is varied with both the usual traditional curry meals and some excellent specials. The contents and preparation of each meal was explained in detail if required and the spice level could be varied to individuals taste. The food was of a very high standard and matched by the standard of table service. This restaurant stands out as one of the very best Indian restaurants we have visited and could not recommend it more highly.

Absolutely lovely environment and beautiful aesthetic. Staff are really friendly including chisty and Raj. They were very welcoming and the food was lovely. I only got a starter but it was really nice and filling. Definitely recommend this place. I don’t usually have alot of Indian food but this place is a perfect representation of what good Indian food is. Loved it. Thank you for the wonderful service and food !!!

Had a great experience here with Chisty as our waiter, who provided great recommendations. It was for my sister's birthday, the service was excellent and they gave us a free cake slice at the end too on the house! Overall great place, great food and great staff.

Really great friendly service- nothing was too much trouble. Chisty was fantastic and the manager kept checking in too. The food was fantastic. Really great selection of starters and mains which were delicious. Would thoroughly recommend

My partner and I have passed this restaurant many times and have always spoken of eating here. Today we finally got the opportunity to and we are blown off our feet. The staff are extremely friendly, professional and engaging throughout the entire experience. Food and drinks are exceptional with the finest details accounted for by both the kitchen and bar staff. Special mention to Raj and Welton for making our first visit so memorable. We will be back very soon!

Worst restaurant in Leicester Total Bill costed more than 35£ and in return my husband got food poisoning because of un fresh food. We are going to complain to food hygiene authority soon.

My wife and I celebrated our wedding anniversary at Mem Saab and had an absolutely wonderful experience. The food and service were both exceptional, making it one of the best dining experiences we've had in Leicester. Raj was outstanding. We informed him of our dietary needs (vegetarian, no onion or garlic) when booking, and he was incredibly accommodating. He personally checked with the chef to ensure our preferences were met and even called us to discuss our options. His attention to detail and friendly demeanor made us feel truly valued. The food was simply amazing. Each dish was beautifully presented and full of flavor. It exceeded our expectations in every way. If you're looking for a memorable dining experience in a welcoming atmosphere, I highly recommend Mem Saab. The service is impeccable, and the food is absolutely superb.

First time here for our wedding anniversary celebrations and where do I start?! Literally OUTSTANDING service, DELICIOUS vegetarian food and such a WONDERFUL atmosphere. The service was on point, Welton was so attentive and no request was too big. Cannot believe we've not been here before! Definitely OUR NEW FAVOURITE Indian restaurant to dine at. We will be coming again very soon. Thank you all, especially to Welton and the EXTREMELY TALENTED chefs who worked their magic on the food tonight.

Amazing food! Amazing staff! Do get a really good vibe! Will defs come back again. Keep up the good works guys 👍

Just like the good old days. Superb service, delicious food, and wonderful surroundings. Pleasure to be back there, brought back vreat memories.

Excellent visit for dinner Exceptional friendly, efficient service throughout by all the staff incl the Manager. Lovely atmosphere. Good menu with specials and vegetarian options.

My husband and I celebrated our wedding anniversary at Mem Saab, and it was truly a memorable experience. From the moment we arrived, we were treated exceptionally well. Our server, Welton, was outstanding. He guided us through the menu, offering expert recommendations tailored to our culinary preferences and spice tolerance. Every dish we tried was delicious, beautifully presented, and exceeded our expectations. We opted for the butter chicken, butter paneer, tarka daal, veg sharing platter, along with rice and naan bread, and each item was a culinary delight. The ambiance of the restaurant was lovely, perfect for a special occasion like ours. The attention to detail from the manager and staff was remarkable. Welton's knowledge of the menu and his ability to recommend dishes made our dining experience exceptional. To cap off our wonderful evening, we received a complimentary glass of Prosecco, which was a lovely touch. I highly recommend Mem Saab to anyone looking for an exceptional dining experience in a welcoming atmosphere. The service is exceptional, the food is superb, and the overall experience is one that we will cherish.

Doubt you could get a better curry in Leicester.... and that is saying something!

Amazing, sooooo delicious 😋 A party of 6 including my Aunt who doesn't like any herbs and spices, her request was catered for and we had a lovely evening there. Thank you to Raj and the team 🙏

I celebrated my 21st here and it was an amazing experience! Excellent service and very accommodating and attentive. Loved the food and reasonable prices for what is some of the best Indian food we’ve tasted. Thank you for making my day so lovely :)

Having been to many different Indian restaurants this is by far the best. Feels like a special occasion restaurant, not a ‘just popping out for food’ place. The service is amazing, from the moment myself & family first visited, Raj & Chisty always make us feel like old friends, but not in an overwhelming way. The food is perfect every single time & I just know that we’ll be eating here for many years to come.

Great serve and hospitality . Loved the food . Special thanks to chisty - loved his hospitality for the whole time.

Had some great experience of food for one of my friends Birthday… Food was so good … Chisty gave us some great service and with his best recommendations in food

Raj and Christy took fantastic care of us—they were professional, attentive, and kind, providing fabulous dish recommendations and quick service. The food was delicious—my colleague shared that he recently went to a Michelin Star Indian Restaurant, and that Memsaab was better. I’m already looking forward to visiting again! My only frustration was that there was a party of 60 people or so in the restaurant on this Tuesday evening, which made it a bit difficult to hear at our table of 6. In the same breath, this speaks to how great they are—to have such an event on a Tuesday evening. Thank you Memsaab Team!

The best food we have eaten in Leicester! Thank you for being so kind and offering us a takeaway - every single dish was delicious. We loved it and can't wait to come back!

This is the best Indian food I have ever tasted. Great service and tips from Raj and his team. You will have a great foodie experience here

Loved our evening at Mem Saab. Our waiter, Chisty, was very attentive, and the food was immaculate!

Such a lovely peaceful place, the staff were 10/10 food was amazing and drinks were the best, highly recommend <3

Good food, the chilli cheese nan is a must have.

We always have such amazing evenings out at Memsaab. We had a lovely evening for our 10 year wedding anniversary and was looked after by Chisty who was lovely, he made sure we were well informed about our food, and kept our drinks flowing. He also treated us to a lovely pudding - thanks for looking after us as always!

I had a great time, the staff were lovely and they gave a little birthday treat on the house. Chisty served us he was amazing!

We recently celebrated our wedding lunch at Mem Saab, and it was an amazing experience. The service was exceptional from start to finish, making our special day even more memorable. Raj, in particular, was incredibly accommodating, ensuring that every detail was taken care of. The staff's attention to detail and genuine hospitality were evident throughout our event. The food was delicious, beautifully presented, and enjoyed by all our guests. Also, the bar area is elegant and provided the perfect backdrop for some great photos. We couldn't have asked for a better venue in Leicester for our wedding lunch and highly recommend Mem Saab for any special occasion.

Chisty! What can I say.. service at its finest!

Brilliant food and great service from Chisty, we look forward to coming back again!!

Popped in for a spontaneous curry and was not disappointed. Food amazing, fresh and full of flavour. Staff were fantastic. We will be back.

Superior Food, incredible service & brilliant ambiance. Thank you so much to Raj, Chisty & the team for such a superb private dining experience.

Food was excellent, our waiter Chisty was very helpful. Only criticism was that it was very noisy, clatter bang like, probably due to the high ceilings. Some soft furnishings would probably deaden the sound a bit. But overall very good & we would definitely go back & would definitely recommend to others.

Excellent service! even though they were close and hosting only a private event, they were kind to take my small order for takeaway! thank you so much! and food is excellent! awesome job!

The restaurant's ambiance and decor were impressive, creating a pleasant atmosphere. The staff demonstrated professionalism and friendliness in their interactions. However, my personal preferences did not align with the culinary offerings.

We booked this restaurant for a very special birthday celebration. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by Raj the Manager, taken to our table and treated with great care. The staff were exceptional. Friendly, efficient and so helpful. There were other celebrations going on too and such a lovely atmosphere. The food was excellent and beautifully served. A great choice and staff were helpful in explaining the different meals, if some might be too spicy or not spicy enough. A friend had made a cake and Raj was very accommodating and kept it until it was needed, bringing it out on a lovely cake server. Such a special night and made even better by Raj and his wonderful staff. Thank you.

From the minute we got in the service was outstanding couldn't do enough for us the food was excellent and even brought a cake out for my dad's 90 th thanks

Great service from chisty, food was really nice and the portion sizes were really good as well. Would definitely recommend for great indian food in leicester.

Very kind staff especial Chisty who was very kind and helpful :)

We had an amazing time at Memsaab. We went on my wife’s birthday and we were treated so well by Chisty. He was so cordial and kind to us. Took care of us so well. We asked to change the dishes to our requirements and we were really impressed. Biryani, Samosas and Kulfi was too good. Tandoori roti was heavenly. Mojito was superb. Thanks Chisty. You are too good.

Me and my girlfriend ate here today for our anniversary, the staff were kind and gave recommendations, gave us plenty of time to order and was quick with answering our questions. Definitely the best meal i’ve had out in a long time. Atmosphere was great, lots of happy faces and staff was cheerful yet still professional. Thought the staff had forgot that i’d asked about me celebrating our anniversary but surprised us with a free desert after our main. Would definitely eat here again and recommend anyone looking for friendly service and good food. Thankyou mem-saab!

Lovely food and excellent service from Welton! He made sure that it was as spicy as we wanted.

Just eaten here. The food was absolutely delicious and we were very well looked after by Welton who gave us some great recommendations from the menu. Photos of our starters here. I had the monk fish for my main dish… so creamy and delish! 😋

One of my top 3 favourite restaurants in Leicester. They really know Indian food and it shows in what they serve. Welton delivers such lovely service. Me and my partner have been here few times and he has always looked after us. We ordered the platter as main and every bit of it was delicious, especially the salmon. Will always keep coming back here, for the food and the exceptional customer service😇.

We had a great time and food was tasty. Please tell your staff to not sweep while people are still eating.

Came her for my birthday and the service was incredible. This place is a must try if you’re in Leicester and I loved every aspect of the restaurant. The food and the staff were amazing.

Had the pleasure of dining at this lovely Indian restaurant in Leicester on a Saturday evening. The staff were very attentive and Walton (hope that was his name) who looked after us gave some good recommendations for the food choices. The food was flavoursome, lamb dishes tender and the naan breads with the cherries in it are delicious, great combination. Would highly recommend this place and hopefully visit again soon.
