Memsaab

I ordered delivery, it was my first time trying this place. Delivery was speedy (30 mins instead of the guideline 45). Wasn’t overly impressed with food, ordered chicken korma, the tub was only half full. Pilau race had onions in it which I wasn’t expecting. Sundries were great, they threw in extra poppadums on request and I also had mango chutney and a plain naan. Price was fair too. I would order here again but I would go for a different dish.

This is a great addition to the area, a clean, professional and welcoming Indian restaurant with a wide ranging menu. The curries are good, with options for those who like creamy to those who like spicy and deep. The naan bread wasn’t the best I’ve tasted (a little on the doughy side) but that would be my only minor criticism.
If you come, make sure you have the Kattamita Chicken, which is an exclusive dish to Memsaab. It’s just the right level of spice, a deep red, thick curry that really tingles on the tongue. Flavoursome and zesty, and very moorish I can’t get beyond this everytime I come — must try!
The guys here are super friendly, very well educated on the menu and give brilliant suggestions if you’re not sure what to go for. A great price, nice, low level modern Indian music creates a relaxed, mellow ambience.
On a final note, I think you can always judge a good Indian restaurant on their poppadoms and if you order some here, you’ll get 6 accompanying garnishes, from lime pickle, chilli pickle, mango chutney, herb yoghurt and a diced onion mix — very important! Lots of attention to detail and service with a flourish.
These guys try hard and it shows — definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area.
Finally, once you’ve finished your curry, if you have anything left, pop into the charming Hemmington Arms around the corner on Offord Road for a pint of Doombar, the best pint in the UK, you won’t be disappointed!

Upmarket Indian? I don’t think so. A dozen waiters circled like pirahanas ready to snap up my empty plate, so yes, service was top hole but my curry, Goan fish, was incredibly ordinary. No depth of spice, couldn’t taste any coconut at all. Naan was doughy and undercooked.
No wonder they are struggling. They need to raise their game and get a better chef.
Nice chaps though!
