Memories of India in County Durham

Popped in here for the first time last night. Wow! The service was friendly and efficient, the food was excellent and they have a good wine list. Will definitely come again!

Food delicious, but chips weren't very good (frozen) rice was perfect, nans awesome will go again.

Used to visit here a lot many years ago - decided to revisit recently on a neighbour’s recommendation. What a transformation- the restaurant is under new management and everything has improved so much! Newly decorated, tasteful surroundings, excellent service and beautiful food. Excellent Dine In 4 and 2 course deals at very reasonable prices. Been twice now and cannot fault anything. We would highly recommend a visit - use it or lose it. This new Memories of India deserves to be a success.

We had the early bird 4 course menu priced at £14.95 here last night. The waiter offered us poppadums and then charged us an extra £6, beware.

Stopped off on my way down south , glad I did !! Top curry and great staff …..thanks for the free poppadum , cheers guys 👍

The food is amazing but literally the last 3 times we have ordered, they've sent a chicken dish instead of the chickpea one requested. So it's been a bit disappointing in that respect, but otherwise would recommend.

Really good food and good service

the food was cold had to heat it up but didn't taste very nice

My first order , and the food was amazing, definitely be ordering again soon

Authentic Indian food, good price and great service. Well worth a visit if you’re coming to Chester- le -street. 200m out of town so not too busy but a great hidden gem.

I Recommend to try beef biryani. 👍🏼

Had a few takeaways from this restaurant, they have always been great quality, arrives piping hot & within the timescales given. Would highly recommend.

we went for a beer in the restaurant side and was served out of date beer from June 2023. The guy behind the bar proceeded to apologise and give us two free beers as compensation- which was further out of date by 7 months! Not happy- won’t be returning

One of the worst meals had went in bin nan had no cheese starter was awful and the meal was disgusting couldn’t taste anything because it was just full of chilli powder

Starter was inedible ( chicken tikka )

Received mixed up order, with food missing and other items sent. They sent missing items, but rest of food was cold by that point. Food itself was average...

Very fast service and food was delicious

Very good food, the service was lovely, and honestly we had the best waiter in the world, poppadoms were perfect and crunchy with several sauces and the bahji's were proper big, way more than I expected the portions are large and there is a biiiiiiggggg menu 😋 😜.

This is our go to place for our Indian always has been amazing. Tonight though it was not I ordered my usual 2course special chicken korma for the main meal. It’s normally a rich coconut creamy taste but unfortunately it didn’t taste of anything. The Bhuna prawn on puri that I had for a starter was also nothing like it normally is however had some taste unlike the korma GUTTED. My husband enjoyed what he had as he had a different main meal but didn’t like the bhuna prawn starter

Love this Indian restaurant, it's my favourite. Regularly request this for my family birthday meal!

Great meal - probably the best Indian I have had in a long time - restaurant quality, good portion size - try the nan bread, wow fresh and delicious!!

Fantastic food as always - been going here for 10+ years and never been disappointed. Highly recommended.

Food delicious and piping hot. Onion bhajis are to die for.

Absolutely lush! Best Indian food around! Will always go here thank you so much highly recommended!

Best lamb dansak I've had in ages, tender big chunks of meat, very tasty. Other half had chicken jalfrezi, also delicious.

Honestly absolutley terrible food was stone cold, chicken tikka was chewy, getting yesterdays food heated up vibes and the mixed grill wasnt enough to feed a child for over £13 will not order again

Quality here in the food is great. Best peas pilau I’ve ever had. Delivery came early too. Will deffo order again.

Fantastic old school Indian restaurant. Great food, value for money and ambiance. Staff are great and interested in what you want to experience, taste, heat etc.

Food was cold on delivery and some items were of worse quality than usual.

Service was good, cooked in a timely manner however the food wasn't great. The curry was pure onions and dry chicken, very disappointed, the chicken pakoras were in a very greasy batter and for £7 I ate 1 of the 4... very expensive for really bad food. Ordered a take out so can't comment on atmosphere hence mid stat rating. My memories of India wasn't a memory I'd like to remember.

Food was the best takeaway I’ve had. Fresh , hot and so tasty. Extremely satisfied

Lush food, quality and size of portions

Lovely food, I would definitely order again

Awesome food, my local and still the best

Do not go here,staff very rude just been charged £30 for food we never received,they should change with name to Turpins as it’s highway robbery,will never use these thieves again

Good quality food, enjoyed the meal. All food very consistent and tasty

I come here with the girls from work. The food is always delicious, the portions are generous, and the service will always be warm and friendly. It's easy to park close by too.

excellent food as always nice and hot

For all my order was very late the food was fantastic and I will order from here again

Service quick and excellent, food realy delishes .

Don't understand why the pickle's came in a pataks jar I assume because of this all the food you heat up came from jars or pre made

Always great food from Memories of India, the best Indian food in the area.

I've used the restaurant twice now the food is hot and tasty I'm addicted to the bhuna prawn on puri YUM YUM

Best Onion Bhajis and mint sauce in NE, fabulous

Very tasty, good delivery time. Best I’ve had in the area!

Moved away from Chester-Le-Street now, but still think of Memories. Hands-down the best Indian takeaway I've ever had.

First time we have ordered from here, heard lots of good things, it was absolutely beautiful we will definitely be ordering again and telling family and friends.

Realy enjoyed the food tasted fresh and clean.

Absolutely delicious, delivered piping hot and great portions.

We were quite disappointed by the poor quality of the prawns which were very small and if poor quality. It would be better to have fewer large prawns rather than the very small poor quality ones in this meal. Will influence my ordering from her again.

Fantastic food as always but missing chips

Definitely recommend and use again

A grubby little Indian restaurant I will never go in again with dirty seats and food left on the floor I went to use the toilet before we ordered am glad I did it was filthy we left straight away and went to the pub instead

Arrived on time, was still hot and tasted great.

Beautiful- chicken pieces a bit big - but hey ho

We didn’t get the portion of chips ordered. We require a refund for these please

Mix up with the order but they sorted it straight away and food was fantastic

Fantastic food. Beautiful flavour and very fresh. . Fantastic thanks

Tasty food, arrived early, can’t fault this place

Very tasty….Madras had a smooth sauce no veg….

First time ordering and it was UNREAL. House Special Zalfrezi, Chicken Bhuna, Egg Pilau and Keema Naan. Left my taste buds BOUNCING. Delivered earlier than expected and nice and hot

First time ordering and it was UNREAL. House Special Zalfrezi, Chicken Bhuna, Egg Pilau and Keema Naan. Left my taste buds BOUNCING

The food tasted nice as usual, but the rice and naan bread was cold, and the curry itself luke warm at best.

Good quality food Excellent delivery

Food always arrives on time, delivery driver nice & friendly. The food is always great & hot. Best around

Great food again, probably the best in Chester le street

excellent food will order again. keep up the amazing work 👍👍

Unreal scran. Legit the fastest ive ever gotten a takeaway delivered aswell. Thank you very much

The service was wonderful, very friendly people. The food was delicious, however it was barely spicy at all. Very flavoursome, but just could have been a bit hotter. Would definitely order again though, very tasty

This was ok just the sauce looked like radioactive redness wouldn’t have again if truly honest

Really nice as always, just wasn’t keen on the round battered item that was in the mixed kebab and it had an onion Bhaji with which I’d ordered separate - so it would be better if it said this was inc in the mixed kebab. Everything else was really nice Thank you

Delicious starter of King Prawn bhuna on puri - huge prawns in their shell and lovely chicken bhuna with big chunks of chicken. Absolutely gorgeous and very quick delivery.

Average food. Mixed pickles come in a jar??? I was expecting a pickle tray as in dips and pickles but I got a jar of pickles like you would buy in a supermarket. Very strange

Ordered food via just Eat and so easy to do. Food delivered within the timeframe given and food was delicious. Would definitely recommend

Went early on a Saturday night so it was quite but nice friendly staff.

Great food and much better meat quantity than you get else where. Not so sure about the friend egg in my mixed kebab Wish I knew about there app before ordering

Really lovely quality. Only let down was we ordered two naans and received two rices instead. We didn’t call as it was late in the evening to make a re-trip and to be fair we were happy to have rice instead as it was lovely

First class food and first class service. Wouldn’t go anywhere else

Outstanding food! Chicken Tika Madras unreal! Totally recommend 10/10

Beautiful piping hot food, never disappoints 👍

Always top quality from Memories of India

Delicious, delivered hot and arrived early! Can't fault it at all. Thank you!

Best egg Naan we’ve ever had! Lovely tasty food.

Madras was okay, but quite low quality. I wouldn’t reorder again

Hot, plenty of it and very tasty

Great good, delivered early and very welcome as we were hungry

Food was good but ordered a vindaloo and didnt even get a sweat on 😂

First time ordering.. best garlic naan we have had in a long time. Curry was tasty too. Will be ordering again

Fantastic as always. All dishes available with Paneer which is cooked and flavoured perfectly for vegetarian options .

Lovely food , could have been a bit hotter in temperature.

Had a very poor takeaway from here recently and essentially binned it. Watery sauce, lukewarm rice and terrible poppadoms. Now I find they have just been given a ZERO Hygiene Rating by the local Council!! That's as bad as it can possibly get. Avoid if you value your health.

Stopped for a meal on Friday night had a chicken Sri Lanka with veg Pelaw rice and a onion Bhaji to start. Service was good and staff seemed happy to see us. Would recommend.

Really good food. Good quality and quantity. Quick and thorough service

Food was amazing, tasty and piping hot. A very polite and courteous delivery man. Will definitely use again

Really friendly, great service, decent food.

Worst Indian cuisine ever “simple as that”

Lovely as always! Arrived really fast, piping hot, tasty, nice chicken in the curry. Onion Bhajis are the best, lovely pappadums and keema naan and salad too. Really nice thank you, will order via your own app next time

Perfect Meal - Tandori Mixed Grill is to die for

Superb meal following on from last order. Onion Bhajis not greasy and cooked perfectly, Dansak curry so tasty, Chunks of chicken, rice and poppadoms lovely too. Hope they can maintain this standard and consistency with future orders. Big thanks to the chef

Food and service perfect as always, definitely the best takeaway wouldn't use any other.
