Memories of India- Osterley in Hounslow

My family and I have been dining at Memories of India for the last 26 years. It is our favourite restaurant. The food, service and ambience are consistently excellent. The staff are extremely helpful and friendly and always ensure that we enjoy our evening. We find that when we eat at other establishments, we always compare the food and atmosphere to Memories of India and no other restaurants are as good. Memories of India has a huge variety of dishes and the staff always help to suggest new dishes to try and adapt dishes to suit your taste. We dine here almost weekly and always really look forward to our visits.

Firslty, It was a lavish dining experience when the waiter kindly introduce themselves.Secondly the food was a delight to eat.This restaurant is a must go in a lifetime.

-nice servace- -delicious food -great menu -food came fast Worth your time and money I defined recommend you to come to this restaurant

Memories of India! I've heard great things about that restaurant and decided to try out for myself. The food is absolutely delicious, with a wide variety of flavorful Indian dishes. The ambiance is warm and inviting, creating a cozy and enjoyable dining experience. The staff is friendly and attentive, always ready to assist you with any questions or recommendations. I highly recommend trying their butter chicken and garlic naan - they are simply amazing! Don't forget to save some room for their mouthwatering desserts.

Had an amazing time at this restaurant The food was absolutely delicious. And the customer service was amazing! The staff were super friendly and made sure our experience was nothing short of fantastic. Will definitely come back again

Everything great but I don’t like the written receipt which you don’t understand what it says, I order food 6 wks ago & last week price was £26.00 difference for the same food ,,,how that possible. Very simple funny written on receipt, ( when you ask for menu for check up is it possible it the same menu you were giving that night ) ?

This restaurant is amazing! The food was absolutely top-notch. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great dining experience

This restaurant is fabulous. The food is amazing, the staff ate so professional and welcoming. We have 3 small children and we are always made to feel so welcome. Our kids beg to visit because they enjoy there currys so much which is the highest compliment i can pay.

We went to this place as I have used it in past a lot. Ariived on Monday night only 3 tables were occupied. WE ordered all Vegetarian food which they were not happy. We ordered 3 starters and 3 main dishes with Roti and naan. After few minutes we were brought papdum which we had not asked for? but were later charged. so beware its not given free. The starters were cold and those served hot were oily and looked refried. Tiki tasted as if potatos had gone off and chana had a funny flavour. Then our main arrived and all 3 dishes looked same in colour. Manily using same sauce for all dishes. There was no taste in any of the dishes and had no salt at all. When we called the manager he said that they have to make sauce same for all our customers. So each dish you order is not individually prdpared. Its made from stock sauce made in mass quantity. Hence no flavour. We were very keen to leave as soon as possible and they were keen for us to have dessert and coffee. Overall I would not go this restuarant again and neither would i recommend anyone to dine at this expaensive tasteless oily food. No qualty what so ever. AVOID

First visit and have ate any many Indian establishments yet its been a while since I've eaten in a place that serves such tasteless Indian dishes. The Lamb Rogan dish was served in a dish that looked like it come out of a tin or packet. A ready meal from supermarket would look and taste better then what was served. There were about 6/7 pieces of lamb in a gravy you could not see any onions tomatoes just oily looking gravy. Not only didnt it look nice it was tasteless. The paneer dish was also poor being tasteless in a creamy sauce. The naan were the best thing from our meal but to be honest you can't go wrong making them! Price wise this dine was expensive (main dishes being around £12 each) especially as quality was so poor. Service was polite and attentive. The best thing about the restaurant was the decor nice wood pieces but I'd rather sit in a less glam place for better tasting food. The place was empty (4 other tables taken) for a Friday evening which isn't great. I won't be returning to this place, save your money and get a M&S takeaway curry meal!

This was our belated work Christmas meal. The food and service were both superb - the staff couldn’t do enough for us. The restaurant even kept the fixed price Christmas menu for us, as we had intended to come in December but the tube and bus strikes meant too many people couldn’t get there. Be aware, if you want to tip the staff, give them cash and remove the service charge from your bill, as they don’t see any of it.

We went for a meal in the eve of Father's day. My husband, me and our 2 sons. Both my sons found a hair in their food, when we addressed with the manager, he said it must be your sons hair and walked away. We asked for the bill and called the manager over again, advising him that his reaction was unacceptable and he should have handled it more professionally. We paid our bill, then we were approached by the manager offering, coffee, more drinks, dessert etc on the house. Too late, your attitude to our polite complaint was most disappointing. We won't be back. R Aurelien

Delicious food; I’ve been going here for years and it’s never disappointed. Wine selection needs improvement. Highly recommended

Been eating here for over 20 years. Im a big quality food lover. The foid here is second to none you just cannot find better i know ive tried most of them.

My family had booked the conservatory area for my hen party. On the day, the owner phoned to check with us in the morning if the booking was fine - it was. Then about 10minutes before we are due to arrive, and my family have arrived to decorate the room - he tells us that we can no longer have it because it has already been booked. Even though we booked it 3 weeks earlier and spoken about it on multiple occasions to check the details. To add insult to injury, the manager also tells us that we changed the date earlier in the week when no one did. Plus management called in the morning to confirm the booking. Then they refused to move the other people out saying it was a wedding occasion but when we arrived, it was clearly a birthday. Furthermore we were then placed in the main area, but my family had spent loads of effort and money on decorations which we simply could not put up. Had we known how shoddy this would be, we could have done it anywhere else. I had about 20 guests - some of whom had travelled 4 hours and from many different areas in the country to be there, only to receive this awful experience. The management told us that no one else would be allowed in the main area to accommodate us, again - you have guessed it. Yet another lie. About 10minutes later the tables were full of people and they had clearly not done as promised. The service was also slow, and terrible. The owners of this establishment are awful people. If you have double booked, admit to it and offer a larger discount. Instead they just ruined what was supposed to be an amazing night full of memories through anger and inconvenience. We couldn’t do any of the games or the preparation we had planned. Worst experience with memories of India ever. Do not recommend this place ever.

We went to Memories of India for our anniversary dinner last night as we visited Tiger Lily (opposite) last Thursday. Despite being busy, which was good to see, the standard of food was excellent as was the service and ambience. We spent most of this year and last year in Surrey due to Covid and it's nice to be back in London to enjoy our favorite two restaurants in Osterley.

Love this restaurant and the food. However last night was not a very comfortable experience. The waiters all had masks under their chins. The menus were dirty and one diner had an appalling incessant cough. No tracking details were taken and given the restaurant is in an area seeing a surge in covid cases, more measures should be in place.

If you want to eat a generic prepared curry then order from memories of India. Boy scouts mixed vegetables with curry sauce from the tin would be much thd same. What a disappointment.

Gorgeous, flavoursome food but unfortunately service was below expectations. It took 10 min for two of water to be brought over and when they did, it was in wine glasses even for a very young child. Couple times our table got a food that we didn’t order, which was very confusing. I really want to hope this was because they were busy but we will not be going back.

This is one of the worst restaurants that I have ever visited in my life. We don’t understand why staff is running but none were looking at customers, we were not even offered after even after 30 min of our arrival. Food is horrible. I will give negotiable stars

Have been meaning to visit for a while so Dine Out to Help Out scheme prompted us to actually go. The place was really busy and the waiters were rushing about all,over the place, warm evening so there were outside tables as well. Big portions particularly the main courses which had a lot of meat in them. Maybe because they were so busy they. Got one item of our order wrong but quickly resolved although whilst doing this they forgot to bring is any plates!Good decor with some wonderful wood carvings. The menu was weighted towards tandoori dishes. Will certainly visit again.

Best Indian restaurant in Hounslow area, been visit with my family. Food was amazing and staff was really very nice and very friendly.

Usually we order a take away from the restaurant and have been doing over the years. However recently the quality of the food has been really poor. After many months of a break from them, today as my birthday dinner, I ordered from them. Big mistake. The portion of the paneer was half the usual and the container was half empty and the taste was really not up to its usual excellence. Its unfortunate as this used to be such a great place to eat. Wont be ordering here any more and we have been loyal to them for many years. Such a shame.

Service very poor and food was below average.Most of the people in the conservatory area were waiting for about an hour for food. Some even left. Overpriced food (£15 a dish) and nowhere near the standard you’d expect for food and surroundings at this cost. Very disappointing valentines meal. Expected a treat and came away feeling fed up! :(

Live in Ealing so not a local for us, however quickly becoming my new favourite Indian for delivery. Arrives quickly enough with well packaged food and still hot. Food is excellent, highly recommended. I wish they would add poppadums to the online menu (UberEats).

Excellent service! Loved the politeness of the staff Really enjoy the food,could really taste the spice Overall a lovely restaurant would highly recommend others to go and have a lovely experience!

I booked this restaurant to entertain 25 of my friends on the occasion of my 60th Birthday shortlisting it from a choice of five award winning venues on the basis only of the quality of its food and was not disappointed. We negotiated a deal which involved unlimited soft-drinks, three starters, three mains and chose to bring our own dessert. The starters were Seekh kababs, Amritsari fish, Papdi Chaat and Aloo Tikki for the vegetarians, the mains Lamb passanda, Chicken tikka, Paneer , Saag and tarka Daal and were absolutely delicious. My guests had a wonderful time so thank you Memories of India

One of my favourite Indian restaurants. The food is amazing and service is very good.

The food was pretty ordinary, I wouldn’t pay that price for the food. They don’t give VAT receipt.

Nice food and derive. Better flavours than similar restaurants

Good quality, traditional, clean and fast service at around 7.30 pm on a Tuesday. Healthy portions ensured we left full.

We always go to Memories of India for celebrations because the food is always fantastic and the service exemplary.

Best indian food i’ve ever had,staff were extremely friendly.I absolutely loved it next time i shall bring my family:)

I have been visiting this restaurant for many years and I can honestly say this really is the best Indian restaurant, the food is exceptional, fantastic staff and lovely clean restaurant. Hugely recommend

I remember this place many years ago when it was much smaller, and was called the Osterley Pavilion. I used to be a regular takeaway customer when it turned into Memories of India when I used to live in the area.I've been visiting the area recently for family reasons, and decided to pop in for a curry. The food it much better than I remember in the old days. The daal makhani is great, as is the chana masala, and the rice and breads are cooked to perfection. The highlight for me was the vegetable (malai) kofta, which is not on the menu but the kitchen gladly obliged.It's not strictly 'authentic' in every way, and is slightly westernised. But I believe they have done this well, and although this place is run by families of Bangladeshi origin, I reluctantly have to admit they do a very good job of making Indian food!Full marks for a pleasing meal.

Amazing, delicious, authentic food and very polite staff!

Very nice attentive staff, lovely decor, and the food was delicious. Recommend having a walk in Osterley park and then dinner in this restaurant. Just so good!

We live around the corner and normally go in to Hounslow when we want a curry. For some reason we decided to come here for a change. We arrived when it opened for the evening service and the service was good.The food was pretty good (we had a mixture of mixed grill, chicken and vege curries, rice and bread) but was totally spoiled by the final bill. Although we could see up front what the price of the dishes were, £80 for two people (without alcohol) is extortionate for what it is. Even in town, I wouldn't have expected to pay much more than £55 or £60 for the same.I wish them all the best but I won't be going back.

The food here is mostly bland, waiters sometimes question you if you question them!!!, one even tasted our poppodum when we said it was stale

We went to this restaurant to have a quick meal and were pleasantly surprised at the decor. It was clean airy and spacious.

Obviously has a good reputation and our lunch was very enjoyable. Because it’s so busy sometimes you might get slightly overlooked. Food was cooked well and spices not dominating too much. The traditional jalfrezi was nice and a good portion size and the whole sea bass had a lovely charred taste to it. Just watch for the cost of the appetisers being added to the bill as well as often normal service charge, both a bit different from Scotland practices. Looking forward to going again and sampling the takeaway option.

This restaurant is a gem, amazing decor and at a perfect location. It doesn’t only just serve curry, they do offer a wide range of food found all over India. Decent starters followed by levelled up curries, and to finished it off with wonderful desert.

We went to a group in this restaurant. food was so amazing can’t wait to go again this place. missing lamb chop and salmon fish

We visited as a large group for our evening classes leaving dinner. The decor is lovely. The head waiter/managers attitude upon arrival was outrageous. His demear and body language was outrageous towards us from the offset. He was very rude and aggressive. If you would like to be insulted then please do visit this restaurant. The food is passable. My food was poorly seasoned, tasting more like a tomato pasta dish due to this not ‘butter chicken’ (otherwise named to sound more expensive of course). To add insult to injury we were overcharged by £150! The evening ended with ‘debates’ with the lovely gentleman I previously mentioned. Outrageous. Please don’t put yourself through this experience. Life is too short!

Delicious delicious food. We keep going back at least once a month

Faultless services and excellent food throughout. Fresh and full of flavour.

It was a Monday & there was a good atmosphere and regulars dining, always a good sign. Also the service just right; being helpful & interested but not intrusive. The food spoke for itself - great.

If you are in the vicinity of Osterley House or Heathrow and need dinner this is a must. A very short walk from Osterley station, down the turning for Osterley House. Atmosphere excellent - some old Indian carved wooden pillars and friezes give the place an interesting air. Menu very unusual - don’t go looking for the normal Bangladeshi dishes, though they have some. This is a cut above the “Pick a dish and say if you want chicken lamb or prawns” places we get used to. Imaginative cooking - I had a chilli lamb dish - slices of lamb marinaded in an exquisite sauce and stir fried with vegetables and flavour. Almost Chinese in approach but definitely India n in taste. Prices were not unreasonable for the London area. Main courses £12 - £15. Staff excellent and friendly. Our second visit and definitely not our last.

As usual best value & food good

Went to Memories last night its fabulous - decor is gorgeous, terrific atmosphere absolutely packed and the food is scrummy - try the papri chaat and the murg adrakwala - mouthwatering - lovely staff very warm welcome - just go there its brilliant- we’ll certainly be back!

Always have a good time here. The service is always spot on. The food was very tasty. No complaints. it’s our go to place for a curry.

A lunch treat by my granddaughter. We have had many meals there and celebrated numerous birthdays there. We were never disappointed.

We ordered chilli paneer, Aloo tikkis and a mixed grill. The chilli paneer was the only item that was worth the money, the Aloo tikis came in 2 miniatures which were barely a bite.. and the mixed grill only had one of everything- In total it had about 6 small pieces of meat.. of which were half a sheesh kebab, 1 lamb chop (despite the menu stating “lamb CHOPS” which is a plural) if it was just the one chop I would want it to have read “a lamp chop” and one cube of chicken and cube of lamb and the tiniest chicken wing you could imagine. Really disappointed and when I mentioned this to the manager he stated that we should buy another platter! How can 1 mixed grill platter not even feed 1 person especially when it’s priced at £15 - totally not worth it at all. This place is a rip off!

Been back to this restaurant many times as the food is always cooked to perfection just the way you want it, add to that the helpful friendly staff where nothing is to much trouble and the tasteful relaxing decor and its a winning combination.

We love this place and it never fails to disappoint. The staff are always lovely and the food outstanding. It is a regular for us -definitely recommend.

Back to the best Indian restaurants London for a family meal. As usual great service and sumptuous food. Took our grandson ( 3 months old ) who was welcomed. Remember- best to book!!!

Went to this restaurant and was not disappointed. The food was tasty and plentiful and the staff were very friendly. Would definitely recommend a visit.

Always a pleasure to eat at Memories of India. Food and service is always good quality and I hope the standard is always maintained. Thank you for making my birthday meal with my family special.

Very tasty food and good quality. Just love the food and service was great. Staff are very friendly and nice. Atmosphere was great.

great food in good surroundings, pleasant staff, always made to feel welcome. usually a very comprehensive menu but sad to get a restricted holiday menu over the festive break.

Been to this place a number of times, never disappoints, always good service, good food and drink and great atmosphere. One of the best restaurants in Hounslow/Osterley. Also has seating outside for the summer months.

I have booked many times over the years . Christmas time for a large group is also always on the agenda. Mauice and his staff have never let us down . Food is always albsolutely delicious, nicely spiced with great attentive service, The decor is beautiful and if you need pampering for an occasion this is a perfect Indian restaraunt . Tiger Lilly opposite is just as superb which again is run by the same management . Thank you once again to all at the restaraunt

We had takeaway from here last night and it was really good and tasty. Everything tasted freshly cooked, was full of flavour and not too greasy. We had paneer pakora, sabzi kofta, lacha paratha and lemon rice. We will definitely order from here again.

We went as a group of friends, and ordered a range of starters, and then of main courses. All the food was excellent, being full of flavour, with appropriate levels of spiciness that complemented, rather than masked, the flavour. There wasn't one dish we didn't enjoy. The naan breads in particular were freshly made (and the Chilli Naan was excellent).

Visited for a family get together and unfortunately the service was atrocious as had to ask for same thing around three four or even possibly 5 times on occasion. The food was ok but I have had better. Staff are very friendly but clearly not trained well as they cannot seem to cope. The restaurant was full to capacity and I really don't think it was their fault I think they were just overwhelmed.

Stylish Indian which you need to book at peak. Amazing food and great service. Run by the owners who also have the Thai opposite

Often use Memories for a take away and have visited for a meal several times over the years. Always good service, polite helpful staff and good food. We had a take away a few days ago and it was of the usual excellent standard. Very surprised by the recent negative reviews which don’t reflect our experience at all.

Family and friends of us deciddd to go for an Indian meal at this restaurant, we were a party of 10 including 3 kids .

There were 30 of us including several small children. They handled it beautifully and we all felt very relaxed. Interesting and excellent food. Not too spicy in deference to the mixed clientele. Quiet and spacious. Recommended.

This restaurant food is an insult to Indian food! We thought we would try some new place out of town. What a total waste of money! We ordered a mix grill for starters,forget no flavour,not even any salt! We were so vexed we decided 2 do one.

We went for a meal on Saturday and every time we go to The Memories of India we marvel at the exquisite taste of the food, all freshly cooked and the efficiency of the waiters. The service is like a well run machine, very efficient and friendly. It is without shadow of a doubt the best Indian Restaurant in the area as it very consistent in both, the quality of the food and high standard of service. The ambience is vibrant and beautifully matched by the lovely decor. We are already looking forward to our next meal there.

JustEat booked the order showing Delivery (pre order). Waited for am hour & then a rude response from restaurant saying that it is only for Collection we don’t do delivery. JustEat washed their hands-off by saying that it is their fault and restaurant asking me to go for a refund to JustEat. This is absolutely pathetic..

I have been a number of times to this restaurant and it has always been a very positive experience. Particularly good in the summer when you have the option to eat al fresco where a holiday feeling prevails. Always busy at weekends, so a good atmosphere is guaranteed. The staff are most attentive and there is never a long wait between courses. A tad more expensive than other local Indian restaurants but well worth every penny as the food is first rate and the service flawless. A definite favourite, I thoroughly recommend.

The food was amazing the staff were lovely and very attentive and the restaurant itself was beautifully decorated and smelled like the fresh lillies they had on display. Would definitely go back and would throughly recommend.

Not much for trying new dishes, but after insistence by wife & friends went along. A really pleasant surprise. The selections by friends (all who have dined in India many times during the days as flight attendants, we just great! While there maybe some dishes that might not be suitable for my taste (not to sure now), all that was before me was just fine. Service was attentive and prompt. Would definitely return here and now ready to try Indian again!

Came here for a work Xmas dinner in Dec 2017.

I went with my family today and asked for water and they charged £9 and asked the manager and he spoke with broken english and said nothing is free.price is too high

In my opinion this is the best Indian Restaurant in Osterley... the staff are always helpful and Ubed the manager is very friendly.

Good indian food and friendly atmosphere and service. Indian clientelle

I visited this restaurant with a friend over the weekend. Whether it was because we were two females I don’t know but he customer service was disappointing. I hadn’t even taken my coat off and was asked to order drinks, hadn’t finished starters and told my mains were ready - the whole experience was rushed and in the end spoke to the manager, after which they went to the other extreme of practically ignoring us. Won’t be going there again. If you are the owner and readings this get yourself and staff trained on good hospitality!! The food was average.

The food was as good as ever but service was unusually slow. The staff were still friendly and engaging but seeing it wasn’t full it could have been quicker. We had raved about a Memories

Excellent food and really great service. Always love a curry at this place. Highly recommend as top quality Indian food, having eaten at many Indian restaurants in London this is easily one of my favourites!

Just had a birthday here for 31 people. The staff are so nice and friendly they made the evening excellent. The food was superb. Every person who was there loved it. We cannot recommend the place highly enough.

Memories of India once again proved it is always worth a visit.The ambience, the food, the service.None of it can be faulted . You always leave this place, having had a lovely , special evening.The locals of Osterley love it, and it has a huge clientele from other areas. Thank you again for a super evening . Mauice runs this place with charm and ease.

Took the teens as a treat. Really lovely food and excellent value. We all really enjoyed it empty plates all round!

convenient parking, lovely decor, staff that were ready to serve

We had a mums night out. There were 6 of us. We ordered 3 starters. Waiter didn’t see good English. He did not inform us of the portion size. When we got the papri chaat there were only 2 pieces. We were also kept wait8ng after we ordered as starters came 1/2 hr later. I asked for hot water with lemon and he brought cold water with lemon. Service was unsatisfactory. Food taste great but waiters need to inform people about portion sizes prior to ordering.

Have been here several times and as usual well up to expectations. Recommend to everyone

Fantastic food but service was not good enough. Had sat down for five minutes and had to ask to be given menus and throughout difficult to catch their eye, but food made up mostly for that.

Great tasting food with big portions. Not your usual Indian stodgy curry but light, interesting and inspired menu items. Delicious

Amazing food with outstanding service! The ambiance is beautiful too, perfect for special occasions as the decor is top notch too

The restaurant was very noisy so we had to talk loudly to be heard. Service was ok but they were very busy so we ended up having to wait quite a while towards the end to get anyone's attention.

Excellent service and excellent food Relaxed but yet formal Perfect for that special occasion or regular haunt Superb

The starters were enjoyable. Opted for a mixed grill....lamb chops were my favourite The naan breads were freshly prepared and served piping hot. Wasn't that keen on the main course....this being to the use of sugar....commonly found in Bangladesh owned restaurants Service was overall fine

Last Saturday we 'went left' and visited the Memories of India. It is a standing joke whether to go right (Tiger Lily) or left. The restaurant was busy so I was glad I had booked a table.

The food is authentic and very tasty. The service is friendly and fast. The ambience does make you feel you are in a high class restaurant in India and relaxed. Highly recommended.

Bien, que no funciona bien. Éramos un grupo de cuatro. Llegamos a las 8 para una reserva de 8 o'clock. Nos mantenían merodeando por media hora, sin ningún signo de una mesa. Nos preguntaron si queríamos pedir una copa mientras esperamos, sin excusa. En sugerir una bebida de cortesía, el camarero hablaban. Nos fuimos.

El servicio era lento, nos pidieron que nos cambiáramos las mesas durante la comida, la cebolla bhajis no eran geniales, el cordero Rogan Josh era buena, el passanda estaba un poco más calor que la mayoría de los restaurantes, el pan nan fue excelente. No hacer patatas fritas, así que tuve algunos Pilau Arroz realmente agradable.

Have to say, was slightly underwhelmed by the meal. Food was pretty tasteless, although well cooked. No spice level in anything so would not be returning again. This was the sentiment felt by most of the other members there for the team lunch. On a positive note, was fairly nice inside, clean - so on that note it was fairly ok.
