MemSaab in Nottingham

We went with friends for meal whilst visiting nottigham. Service, food,and atmosphere was superb. We all said the best Indian food we've ever had. Will definitely be back

The staff were great but the food is not good. Despite the Michelin Star rating I have had much better food at other restaurants.

Comida encantadora, ubicación encantadora, personal fantástico. Realmente alentador ver al personal ayudando a una fiesta de invitados bling, atendiendo sus necesidades adicionales y asegurando que disfrutaron de su visita

Pretty much always faultless in every way.

Attended a charity banquet for Radford Care Group. Great food, wonderful staff, great place!

No molestes peor restaurante indio en el que he estado en mucho tiempo cebolla bhaji fuera de la sección de congeladores de aldis y tenía mejor curry de un frasco. £ 90 para dos personas dos platos y agua y una coca de dieta más grande estafa jamás

Came here for our anniversary dinner and the mrs. couldn't be happier with the food, cocktails and the service. Amazing Indian grub that is at par with some of the best Indian places in the uk. Highly recommended.

I’m not usually a big fan of Indian food, but this restaurant truly surprised me. The service was exceptional, and the food was delicious. I highly recommend giving it a try!

Felt like the best Indian in Nottingham. Really fresh ingredients used in the dips as well with fresh poppadoms. Excellent sag panneer, lacha paratha and lucknowi lamb biriyani. Great atmosphere and good service too. Will be back for sure

Amazing food and amazing place, will definitely be going back and would recommend to everyone.

The food was average. The hospitality is not good. The behavior of the waiters was below average. Very bad experience.

Opulent interior and superb service for me, were the best features of this restaurant. The food for us, as a party of 5, was hit and miss. My lamb dish was superb - plentiful and succulent chunks of meat in a tasty sauce. However, two of our party opted for the chicken tikka masala, which both remarked on its bland flavour and tough chicken. I had to ask for my pint of Kingfisher to be topped up to give a full pint measure, which is a little annoying. My pet hate is, this is yet another restaurant that includes service charge in the bill. Usually, I have no qualms telling them to remove it, but in this restaurant, as the service was excellent, we paid it. Because of the poor meals we had, we probably wouldn’t return.

Normalmente bien, pero esta noche no. Servidor era brusco rozando la grosería. Los entrantes eran grasosos. Plato principal - la carne era muy masticable Se equivocaron de orden. Normalmente nos sentamos en la parte delantera del restaurante, pero hoy no lo hicimos y las mesas estaban muy juntas y ruidosas. No iremos. de vuelta.

Amazing Indian restaurant. The service is just fantastic. The waiters gave us hot towels before ordering. The dishes were amazing, the lamb handi was so tasty and the portions were great. I will just add that one rice is plenty for two. The staff are very well presented and attentive, and this is definitely somewhere I would go to eat again.

Ordered food from Deliveroo. The garlic naan was rubbery and there was no garlic in it. Completely tasteless.Even the main dishes weren't that good. When I called to complain the person on call was extremely rude.

Ordered for an online delivery, but very disappointed. Food was half an hour late, after I had called the restaurant for an update. No apology. Food arrived cold and bland. Fortunately, I had a discount code but definitely would not order from there again and pay their actual prices.

They maintain their high standards; as far as the food is concerned it is easily the best Indian subcontinent cuisine restaurant in Nottingham, which is a competitive area; the added value of polite and informed servers makes it for a relaxed evening; they get the balance right between looking after you, yet affording you privacy

Good service, good food, good ambience .(Minimum spend of 20gbp per person.)

Overall, 4/5 Stars… Pros… 1 - Great location to city 2 - Lovely & relaxing atmosphere 3 - Polite & professional staff 4 - Quick service 5 - Great food quality Cons… 1 - Food portions were a little small 2 - They self-added a service charge of 10%, there was only 2 of us

Disappointing food. Eaten there before and was delighted. Goan fish curry was bland, butter chicken was ok but not great, veggie curry comprised some fresh veg but also a lot of potatoes and some frozen peas. Even naan did not seem that fresh. Did not complain on the night as just wanted to eat and get home. So staff did not, in all fairness, have chance to remedy the situation. No hot towels at the end of the evening - poor given we eat the breads with our fingers. It is not cheap to eat here and I expected much better.

La comida estaba fría. La bebida era flotante y el servicio estaba bien. Pero no pongas propinas de hormigas ya que las cosas no lo entienden.

We order from MemSaab all the time and the food is always delicious and fabulous every single time. Always consistent and made to a very high quality. Definitely recommend.

Tricky one to review. Place - lovely Service - great Food - as we were part of a larger group I got to try several dishes. I felt all of the dishes focused on heat (from chilli powder) rather than authentic dishes I have tasted recently. My butter chicken, predominantly was just heat I struggled to enjoy the flavour. A friends lamb curry again was too hot, couldn’t taste the curry and the lamb wasn’t rendered enough so all I got was a mouth full of chewy meat and I love lamb so was disappointed. I also think the starters were very small for the price and again too much heat ruining the flavours. Price - we did have a few drinks and this worked out to be £142 per couple. Did I feel this was value for money - no I’m afraid not. Would I return - unfortunately not, for me curry’s now should be about authentic tasty food, not over powering heat and for this price point I think the food is letting this establishment down. Another couple of points - a few sound deadening panels wouldn’t go a miss, at several points in the evening I was struggling to hear the person next to me. We were also saddened as a group that a solider with 25 years served for his country wasn’t offered any discount (after we made management aware)

This is right opposite the Park Plaza in Nottingham where we were staying and wow so glad. we went for dinner there ! It’s a step up from other Indian Restaurants with a brilliant attention to detail ! Doesn’t have a huge menu because everything is fresh, serving the option of dish of the day, which is a speciality dish which for us was a chicken and spinach dish and absolutely amazing. Poppadoms and pickles were amazing as was the Peshawar Nan. I would also recommend a sweet - lots of options which is unusual for an Indian Restaurant - I especially enjoyed the Baileys Cheesecake😂 Staff were attentive and professional. A definite recommendation !

Deliciosa comida y excelente servicio al cliente. Ambiente maravilloso. Sin duda volvería de nuevo. Muy encantado.

We got there just before 10pm and were seated. When the member of staff came to take our order he told us to hurry up because the kitchen closes in 5 mins. Ok so we ordered 3 meals and 3 drinks. The food came within minutes (quicker than McDonalds !) We ate. Then the bill came £106. 1 starter, 3 mains, 3 naan breads, 1 rice, 3 pints. We hadnt asked for the bill. No offer of desert or coffee. Just eat up. Pay and go home. I did point this out but no-one gave a crap. Upshot is. If you want a good curry, go to CUMIN down the road. The food is way better and they are way more friendly.

Best Indian cuisine in Nottingham

First visit to the wonderful MemSaab last week. Food, service, venue- all first rate! Highly recommended!

We chose Mem Saab for my birthday treay having not visited for several years. We were not disappointed, the food was excellent, the service from all the staff was so attentive and the atmosphere was welcoming, with all sorts of different groups in the restaurant on a Friday night. Would highly recommend

Food was excellent، service was brilliant. Atmosphere was Standard traditional, no background music. £60 per person. Well worth the experience.

An outstanding meal with the perfect waiting staff. The food was absolutely amazing we will certainly be back. A beautiful restaurant with so much attention to detail. The atmosphere was lovely. The best Indian ever and we have an excellent one back home in Kenilworth.

Great place to eat vegetarian food. More veg options would be good. Very nice atmosphere and amazing service. We had a few of us who had special dietary requirements and all was taken care of, though we had checked before we visited. Definitely coming back!!

Always and lovely meal with fantastic staff who are quite attentive and always on hand.

Had a really good meal here, large group and fairly reasonable as well.

I came here after visiting friends who lived in the area. The food here is really good with big portions of food! The staff are really nice and gave us warm towels to wipe our hands on. I had the mixed vegetables and they were really good and the garlic naan and pilau rice were also amazing! I had the coconut dream for dessert and that is really yummy as well. I will definitely come here again if I am ever in the area!

Amita (Prop) & her team run by by far the finest Indian fine dining in the East Midlands. The ambiance is first class & everything is supremely professional. Of course the cuisine quality is excellent & the presentation of a high order.

Excellent service - attentive but unobtrusive. Food delicious. Staff made us feel very welcome.

Good food, authentic taste and no long waits for the food.

Faultless. Amazing service, nice food. On the pricy end but definitely one of the best Indians in Nottingham

Went here for a meal with work colleagues and reserved a table for 7 in advance. We were met by the concierge and seated straight away. Meal was sharing platters for starters (meat, fish and veggie platters). Also a tandoori ostrich which was unusual. Mains were a selection of the plates. Highly recommend Chicken Karahi (desi style) and the Nizami lamb. We also had delicious Desserts, I recommend the Pistachio Kulfi and the Rasmalai. Total bill was £400 (£59pp) which included several rounds of drinks. Had a 10% service charge added to the bill, but the serving staff were polite, efficient and helpful.

top place, been there with my wife. Some delicious food we had mutton biryani, prawns papadoms with chutney ect. I cannot say its an expensive restaurant looking at their quality overall. The only thing,,the service could ask if we wanted some water until we ordering. It would be just nice and welcoming since there will be added 10% service charge on the bill.

Superb food and service. Lovely quality. I especially enjoyed the Goan Fish curry.

Decided to try Mem Saab as a treat based on reputation. This was a last minute decision so had not booked in advance. Happily we were accommodated and I must say the service was exceptional. However, the food can only be described as standard at best - my chicken tikka could only be compared to Heinz tomato soup with a very small portion of chicken added which was a huge disappointment considering the price. In addition the price of one large glass of wine at £11 was high. Sadly will not be making a return visit and have experienced a far better standard of curry in other Nottingham restaurants

Staff were very friendly & attentive. I ordered the vegetable biryani which came covered with a sort of wheat pancake- a first for me! It was a nice dish but I’ve better biryanis.

What a brilliant Indian restaurant. You will not be disappointed. We had a shared starter and lamb chops to start, amazing. Lam chops were really tender and full of flavour. We each had a different curry for mains, my dish of the day was amazing, lamb Balti and chicken chilli were also fantastic. Well done Memsab.

Booked for a group of 15, paid £150 deposit for it. 2 couldn't make it on the day so 13 arrived on the nice. We spent £500 (including 10% service charge) at the restaurant. Unfortunately despite the big spend, and the restaurant not full on a weekday night, they decided to charge us £20 for the 2 no-show. Ruined our evening.

This has to be one of the best places to have actually good authentic Indian food in the UK. Every small bit from the starters to the final morsel was flavourful and sensory. Recommending at least one visit for everyone reading this review.

28.05.2024 We were eyeing this restaurant from a long time and finally we made it. The best service I have ever experienced to add to the tasty food and lovely ambience. The place is huge and can accommodate more that 200 people. The interiors are beautiful. The lighting is very nice and the table setting is awesome. no wornder the restaurant has wom many awards. We ordered for Lahori Lamb Chops, Tandoori Ostrich, JChilli Prawn Salad, French Fries and not to forget cocktails and Beers. Every order was quick and tasty. I am amazed by their super quick service as if they are reading our minds. To our surprise they also served a cake to celebrate our birthday. With super quick and excellent service a great place to dine, has left us with a very memorable experience.

Having been to MemSaab a few times I expected the food, drink, service and surroundings to be excellent and that's exactly what they were. We were I think the last people to leave the restaurant yet there was no sign of impatience from the wonderful staff. Will definitely go again but try to let the staff go home sooner in future!!

This was a lovely atmosphere on Valentine’s Day, however we were extremely disappointed with the service we received from one waitress in particular. The manger and our other waiter were lovely, however the evening was spoilt by one waitress. She threw down our cutlery and did not say two words to us whilst serving. We constantly received dirty looks from her, and it was a very hostile environment. We were wondering if it was homophobic reaction. We were definitely looking to come again, but we would be interesting in seeing how the restaurant would resolve this problem.

Team Memsaab truly made my mum's 60th birthday celebration an unforgettable experience! It was a private event and the venue ambience perfectly complemented the Bollywood-Diva theme, setting the stage for an enchanting evening. The buffet at Memsaab was a gastronomic delight, offering a lavish spread of flavorful dishes that catered to every taste bud. The curated all-vegetarian menu ensured that every guest found something to relish. And amidst the abundance of options, the dessert (Gajar Halwa) stood out as a sweet finale that left everyone craving for more. Their chai is one of the best in town and I will be coming back for more (and more). What truly set Memsaab apart was the impeccable service provided by the staff, especially Mr. Sudheer, whose dedication and assistance in planning the surprise (over a period of 2 weeks) and executing the event ensured its grand success. Thank you, Memsaab, for making my mum's special day truly magical! Wishing you the best!

Lovely restaurant, tastefully decorated. Pleasant courteous staff. Food wonderful, service great can't wait to go back.

Fire curry, great night would recommend

Weekend away and so pleased we booked at Memsaab. Staff were friendly and food was amazing. We will book again next time we visit Nottingham.

Food is tasty, but waaay overpriced. Felt like we weren't welcome because everything came out so fast. They wanted us gone, at least that's what it felt like. Last time we'll be going there, better priced places that are nicer in Nottingham.

We had the early dinner choice. It was very nice. Butter chicken was yum. A bit spicy but very flavoursome. The service was good. This is a classy place and I liked it.

Although the restaurant is huge, it is broken into smaller areas and hasn’t lost its intimacy. Service was friendly and not at all rushed. Menu choice wasn’t extensive but there was plenty to choose from. Food was excellent and we will keep returning.

Service was excellent with some special touches ( warm flannels upon being seated at the table for example) . Very good quality food which is presented beautifully. Perhaps tables were a little close to each other to give the restaurant the total luxury feel.

I visit frequently with my husband and this place never disappoints. It’s outstanding on every level and every detail.

Well, to be blunt the food was bland and overpriced. I have poppadoms, pakora starter, naan, saag aloo, and lamb as a main, the only thing which tasted nice was the lamb. Everything else was overcooked, the flavours were very one dimensional.

Wonderful food with excellent service. I have not been before but I will certainly go again.

Absolutely amazing atmosphere,staff and food was really tasty 😋 definitely recommending!

Superb one of the top Indian meals I’ve had. The Lahore lamb chops were splendid and really well flavoured. I decided on the jalfrezie with lamb and the meat just fell apart.

It was my husbands birthday we had a great night at mem Saab . The food was great the customer service was fabulous we had great service with banter. They brought cake for my husband for his birthday. The restaurant is clean spotless and great space . We come here skit especially for special events like birthdays anniversary’s but also like bringing family and friends as it’s a top restaurant. All in all a great night with fab food and 100% great service would definitely recommend .

Very highly recommended, great food great staff and a vadt range of drinks

Starters lovely Dissatisfied with chicken tikka masala - chicken tough. Tasted like it was reheated and sauce just poured over. Disappointing. My husband enjoyed the lamb dish

We love this restaurant and travel from NG16. (We cook a lot of Asian food ourselves so are careful about where we go to eat to avoid disappointment…my mum is the best judge here) Great service, considerate staff and respectful. Really felt the team wanted to help make our private party special from ordering to collection-catering for a family party. The gentleman who gave us the food on collection was very pleasant as well. We love the Baigan Bhartha and Zaika Gosht - delicious.

The food and service were both excellent and good value for money.

Always a delight to dine here! Top quality dishes and service!

We both really enjoyed our starters having opted for various prawn dishes which did not disappoint. The mains were ok as was the garlic naan and pilau rice just not as good as the starter's and we felt were pricey for what they were - both chicken dishes

Welcome was sincere and the restaurant was not too busy and was warm without being uncomfortable. Drinks arrived quickly and we had help with ordering as one of our party had food allergies and needed to check their food choices were ok. Menu is varied and we all picked different things. Presentation was wonderful and the food was flavoursome! Everyone enjoyed the meal and the portions were just perfect so we didn’t have loads left over. Fresh peppermint tea was delicious too. Toilets are immaculate also. I also love the fact that you get hot towels as you first sit down and can freshen your hands before the drinks arrive. Staff are attentive without being overly so and the whole experience was enjoyable. I will definitely be taking my family and friends there again.

Really lovely atmosphere and lighting in this restaurant. Staff were helpful and as one of our party had allergies, they took time and care to check suitability of the dishes picked. Food was delicious and presentation was wonderful. We will be back

Superb dishes very well presented. From the original dips with the poppadums through the cod and lamb starters to the fish curry and lamb mains quality and flavours were excellent. Highly recommend.

The food is perfectly nice but for the price you are paying you expect a more exciting menu - I’m not sure it has changed in the last 5 years. The restaurant is starting to look tired and needs to be refurbished- the wall I sat near had paint flaking off and the chairs were dirty. Better curry houses in the vicinity

Fantastic food and excellent service. Highly recommend and will definitely be visiting when I’m there again next year for a conference.

Having been many times before and enjoyed the whole experience, we feel rather let down this time. The food was disappointingly bland and the naan uncooked. The staff were terse and couldnt suggest a main to meet my cousins wish to try something new. In short we felt an inconvenience to them.

Very good service, attentive but not too much. Food was fantastic!

Visit this restaurant every time we are in Nottingham and it never disapoints, the food is excellent and staff are very knowledgeable and they make you very welcome

Possibly the best Indian I have ever had. Food fantastic and excellent service.

The welcome and ambience of the restaurant is superb! Food and service all fantastic. Authentic and delicious

Nowhere near as good as last time. Rogan Gosh didnt contain any tomatoes. All a bit bland ..and expensive

Nice place, perfect food and hospitality, always a warm welcome, highly recommended

The best Indian food I’ve ever had. Delicious, well cooked. Highly recommend.

Great ambience, friendly staff, amazing food! We had a great anniversary celebration ! Kids had a lovely time with innovatively designed icecream cups! Unique and lovely experience. I have already booked 2 more dinners. Highly recommended!!! Definitely going to be a regular!!

Great food, helpful staff (we got in at short notice on a very busy night). It's not a cheap night out, but how many times are they disappointing? Got there in time for pre food round of drinks and a main course, which was very good. Four of us had different meals, and all were excellent. Definitely return:)

This is a great restaurant with friendly staff and excellent food. We had the early evening set menu, which is perfect for a pre-theatre dinner. It was very good value with poppadoms and pickles pre-meal, then the starter and main served together on a platter with rice, daal and slices of naan. It was lovely presentation and delicious food. We will definitely be back to try the a la carte menu.

Just amazing! The food is great, the service spot on and the atmosphere excellent

We arrived and were seated quickly at our table ,drinks came out fast we opted for the early menu set price and got 2 curries rice naan plus a starter each and the food was really nice lots of flavour not too spicy just perfect will return again and try some things off the rest of the menu

This restaurant is of the highest quality. They have a wide variety of food and it is excellent. It is seasoned with spices to perfection so that the flavours are not overpowered by the spices. The waiters were very attentive and very helpful when asked about combinations of dishes. I will certainly return. Mr Mack

Visited on valentine's day but was disappointed to know we were only allowed to order from the set menu which wasn't advised at the time of booking . The selection of items on the set menu wasn't ideal ,the wine was horrible I couldn't finish it and I only had one glass the food was over powering and just not that nice . I was so sad to have hated the whole experience we've never been out on valentine's for a meal so after 16 years I thought let's push the boat out. I thought the place was ment to be quite a posh restaurant but it really isn't anything special. I can honestly say I'll never visit again I'm still fuming I wasted over £100 on mundane small portion food with cheap wine glasses no better than what you get in your local pub

What other stars 🌟 can I give, it saved my life and if it wasn’t for memsaab I prolly would have been dead

Food was above average. Price of drinks was absolutely ridiculous

Excellent food and highly recommended if you're in Nottingham.

Very nice food here, the staff were friendly, attentive and polite. I would definitely recommend the ostrich to anyone.

Can't fault this place. Top service and foods to die for

Felt very rushed main was bought out just as we’d finished our last mouthful of the starter. Only wanted to share a rice but the manager said we had to have 2 as it wouldn’t be enough, very pushy!

Booked to go with friends and it was great both for service and food! Although we booked for 8.45pm and got there on time we had to wait for another 25 mins. Not great but it was made better by being given complimentary bubbles as a way of apology. Once seated the service was great and not the usual “curry” menu - had some great items on there and ones that you wouldn’t find in the run of the mill restaurant. My wife had king prawns which were excellent, I had lamb shank, again excellent, and our friends had similar orders - all excellent. Price wise - really good value. 4 people with drinks (nothing silly) worked out at £160 total to include tips. Only piece of advice is book - it was really really busy but the above will explain why. Thanks guys 👍🏻

Great service, and great food ! everyone was really friendly, It was a weekend so a little busy as expected! will visit again

Arrived today with no reservation, happy to accommodate us. Fantastic service. Food was delicious, service was amazing. Would happily recommend!

Once again I was very pleased with service, food and atmosphere at memsaab. I can’t wait for my next visit :)) The salmon tikka is to die for 11/10
