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 décor 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.

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.

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.

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)!

Been here several times over the years — the best Indian food I have ever had. Meals have always been consistent and flavorful with great service. Lamb Rogan Josh is my favorite.

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.

On my own on business in Nottingham and on a diet. MemSaab was celebrating Diwali and restaurant was decorated and buzzing. Excellent salad for starter then a light Goan Fish Curry wound up with Pistachio Kulfi, Ameretto and an espresso. Very good food, good atmosphere and attentive service. Could not fault it.

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.

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.

Recommended to a coworker and I by one of our customers, who lives locally. Food was excellent and the staff was very accomodating to my vegan requests. Beautiful interior. Great place for business meals.

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.

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 décor 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.

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!

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 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.

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!

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.

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
