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.

Great food and brilliant service. Authentic North Indian food. Would highly recommend and their sister restaurant Masala Junction is a regular haunt of ours when we are in Nottingham.

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.

When arriving we were quickly shown to our table. The girl who took our order wasn’t a very warming person but a little on the abrupt side. The dish I wanted was chicken thigh meat and I asked if this could be changed to chicken breast. I always have chicken Khari with chicken beast meat in many restaurants. When asking if this could be changed to breast she said she would check with the chef as it wasn’t on the menu, this was ok but it was her attitude, made us feel like we were putting her out. Disappointed with the size of the nan bread considering the price. Rather than the normal size nan (dinner plate) it was the size of a saucer. It was cold. I addressed the waiter and he didn’t seem bothered when I mentioned the size but did bring an extra nan bread. When paying top end prices you expect quality and quantity. We eat at numerous Indian restaurants and have never had a nan bread so small. Unfortunately the lady in the red dress and the gent that visit the tables never came to ours which leads me to believe it’s all a set up. Seems strange two unhappy customers were never confronted by these two very important looking people but just seem to address the happier customers as they know they will have more positive feedback back. Disappointed wouldn’t recommend but it’s personal choice. Go and check out for yourselves.

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.

This was probably my second or third time to have dinner in this place and just like always the dishes served tasted great and the service was very convenient and friendly. I made an online reservation and then made a slight change on it and all was properly handled. The staff was helpful and gave recommendations on what and how much to order so we ended up with good tasty choices and no leftovers. The place offers halal food and the staff was clear in confirming this fact and highlighting one menu item only that wasn’t. So if you are looking for this type of food then this place is a good choice. Expect to pay around 30 pounds per person for a satisfactory meal.

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.

MEMSAAB IN NOTTINGHAM This is really a five star plus restaurant. Elegant settings, nice service, they took care of every little details, checked on how we were enjoying but were never intrusive or abrupt. The restaurant is run by "memsaab" lovely lady with lots of energy interacting with guests, very pleasant!! The food was great. We ordered Salmon dish as appetizers, very tasty, with perfect sauce with it.,very tender. The palak paneer was out of this world. Desserts were great Overall we give full marks for wonderful experience there ,

The ambience of the place is so authentic, true to its culture. There is a wide range to choose from whilst ordering. The staff is super helpful and know-how to provide exceptional service to their customers. Amazing Indian food. The restaurant is run by a lady and she too checks up on her customers individually.

Wow, what a fantastic Indian meal. Had the lamb chops appetizer with the Chicken Balti as my main course. This was a wonderful meal, and I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone traveling to Nottingham.

The ambience is ethnic and feels nice with Indian music. Food was average.. very poor choice of draught beers. It's very pricy for the overall experience.

If you are looking for good Indian food in Nottingham, this is the place to come. I travel to Nottingham a few time a year for work, and always make at least on stop at MemSaab. The service it top notch, and all the dishes I have tried are fantastic. My top 3 recommendations: Lamb Rogan Josh, Chicken Jalfrezi, Chicken Tikka Masala.

MemSaab is a superb fine dining venue. Located in Nottingham town centre, the restaurant is a real gem, superbly appointed and is huge! I have dined here several times during business trips and generally visit on quieter nights but I am certain that when near capacity, the atmosphere would be great. The menu is varied and with each visit I have tasted different dishes. ALL have been excellent quality and with eye catching presentations. The Pistachio Kulfi is a great way to end a meal. There is an Extensive beverage menu with some interesting and rarely seen options. The staff are attentive and very friendly and genuinely interested in knowing about the quality of food and service. Pricing is in accordance with a fine dining venue but, in my opinion, represents value. MemSaab is one obligatory stop for any visit to Nottingham and I will be back. Treat yourself - you will not be disappointed (at least I hope not)!

I have been in Nottingham for a weekend. This Indian restaurant was so good I had to came back twice in a row. Absolutely excellent, the peak in indian food. The ambient is classy and refined, with a hint of luxury.

An Indian resturant a step above the norm, and famous for Chris Tarrant being arrested for throwing a fork or spoon at an irritating nearby diner..... and also winning Best Indian food in Nottingham for 3 years running. The food is very good with complex spicy tastes that overlap and follow each other, the portions are pretty big ,especially the 'platters', so don't overorder, keep it coming as you need it. My tandoori platter was superb, and a fellow diner's tandoori King read GINORMOUSprawns was immense, and incredibly tasty. Service was very good, even attentive with the jugs of water. It's a pretty big place and caters for quite a few large parties, so if you are after peace and quiet you will need to tell them when you book.

As an American visiting the UK, I was excited to have some of the best Indian food outside India. This place didn't disappoint. The food was spicy, just like I like it, the naan was warm, moist and crunchy all at the same time. A couple of reasons why I am giving it only 3 stars. 1) Just the night before, I had dinner at another Indian restaurant, right next door - Calcutta Club, and it was better than MemSaab, in my opinion. 2) It was quite pricy - and not sure why. I thought Calcutta Club was better and less expensive.

We ate here earlier this year and, for us, the food eclipsed that at 4550 though it was close! A lovely relaxed atmosphere accompanied by friendly staff made a memorable evening. I really loved the Chef special - they bring in guest chefs! A fabulous idea but unfortunately I cannot remember who it was! xx

Mem Saab is a fabulous Indian restaurant located on Maid Marian Way in Nottingham's city centre. The winner of Best Indian in the Nottingham Restaurant awards for the past three years, the restaurant has a lot to live up to and it never fails to rise to the challenge. The food is authentic and there is a wide range of dishes to choose from, many of which you would not have heard of from your local curry house. The place caters for all tastes and there is a special section for vegetarians containing appealing items, which is always nice to see. The atmosphere is enjoyable and the staff welcoming. A great night out.

What I believe to be Nottingham's premier curry house. Close enough to the city centre for pre- and post- drinks, but not on the square, and so avoids the asbo's and hood wearers. The menu always throws out something new. They have an extensive list of curries from different regions of India, and each is served elegantly. This isn't a three o'clock in the morning curry house. This should be the focus of the evening. Fine dining - excellent service - I'd recommend this one to anyone. The only downside would be that towards Christmas there tend to be a number of corporate do's and parties that can dominate the atmosphere - this is only a very minor criticism however. We always have a great meal!

Mem Saab is one of the best Indian Resaurants that I have ever been to. A group of us visited Nottingham earlier this year on a stag weekend and I arranged for us to go for a meal here before we went out one night because of it's proximity to the centre and the fact that it had many good reviews on the net. I rang up and booked in advance which is a good idea if you are a large party as they sent us details of the set menus that they offer so we could choose what we wanted before hand. The decor is excellent - very modern and classy. The food and service are fantastic. The portions aren't huge but are very well presented. The price isn't cheap but is good value considering quality of the food.

The food was splendid. I tried the chicken biryani, it was top notch. My brother got the set menu. The portions were large and tasty. The lamb chops were great. The gajar ka halwa was the best dessert. The ambience and decor were really good. The soft Hindi tunes in the background were quite pleasant. The service was outstanding. One should really give this place a try.

Very lovely meal with extremely attentive service. I expected good food and service from this higher end curry establishment. I had the lamb jalfrazi and garlic naan which were both delish.

Members Sean does not disappoint. Everything was well prepared and presented. The monk fish in banana leaves was wonderful. Go and enjoy.

The staff at MemSaab were so accommodating. We were a party of 21 that only booked 1 hour prior to showing up. The food was wonderful, the atmosphere great and the staff friendly and courteous. Highly recommended.

Indian food if one of my favourites so this place is a nice break for me, It is perhaps one of the most experiences Indian restaurants I have ever eaten in. To be best of my knowledge it has won several award for food ever recent years, they have them displaced in the restaurant. The décor and ambience here is very relaxing and you almost feel like you are in India, the soft mood music really adds that extra edge to your meal. The restaurant is very stylish, perhaps one of the most stylish restaurants I have ever eaten in. The food and wine is amazing and they seem to have something for everyone, they had a lot of dishes that I had never tried before but the staffs is always happy to tell you what is in them. In my opinion this is the best restaurant in Nottingham

The best posh Indian food in town, if you like your curry served with added swank, dine here for outstanding service and truly delicious Indian food. They have a particularly good selection if you prefer your food not to be 'blow the roof of your mouth off' hot.

Mem Saab is just out of the main city centre in Nottingham. It's kind of trendy, modern Indian, so the kind of place that you'll either love or hate! It's not got an authentic atmosphere at all with high open ceilings. The food is posh Indian so you don't get a lot on your plate, but what you do get is very tasty. My husband still goes on about the Corriander dip he had with one of his courses as it was out of this world! It is really expensive for what you get though, and for that reason, I would prefer to go to a more authentic restaurant where I actually felt full after my meal!

While visiting Nottingham recently on business, I decided to give this place a try. I recalled this restaurant from a previous visit several years ago, but it now appears to be under new ownership. For a fine dining venue, found the place to be a bit overdecorated and under serviced. First, it took a long time for the waiter to take my order, even after I tried to draw his attention several times. When I did try to order appetizers as starters, I was politely informed that I had to order my entire meal before the starters could be served. Found this to be a bit odd as the place didn't seem busy or overcrowded. Also, when the server brought me a bottle of the Cobra beer I had ordered, he made a hasty retreat without even bothering it to serve it in the glass he had placed in front of me. Surely, a fine dining restaurant, as the venue claims to be, would train the staff to do otherwise. On the food side, the vegetarian entrees, Okra and Saag, I had ordered were half delicious and oily at best. Overall, had an unsatisfactory experience.

Ate here last week. Very good food. Attentive staff. Good wine list variety - the Bordeaux especially good and a good price. Food was reasonably priced and compares favourably with '4550 Miles To Delhi' a few doors up. If asked, I'd return to Mem Saab.

I have lived very close to Mem saab for the lasy half a year, and only just got round to going, and boy was i glad that i did. My partner and i were greeted by two very friendly waiting staff, who couldn't have been any more helpful. We selected two curry dishes, which for the money were excellent value and the portion sizes were very impressive. I was very impressed by the food and service at this restaurant.
