Customer Review Summary
Diners most often praise the food itself, singling out the lamb nihari, lamb cutlets and prawn starters, with one reviewer calling the nihari one of the best they have tasted. Close behind is the bread, with freshly made naan and roti singled out, along with a broccoli dish that one returning diner found surprisingly delicious. Reviewers also mention plenty of vegetarian options and dishes arriving piping hot and fresh. Several come for celebrations, including birthdays, a Mother's Day meal, a proposal setup and a large party in the private dining room, and they describe staff as accommodating, with nothing too much trouble. Others point to the beautiful decoration, a grand and aesthetic room, and a meal where nobody felt rushed and the table carried no time limit. One group seated near the owner ended up chatting and laughing with them long after the plates were cleared.

“An amazing evening at this beautiful restaurant for a BIG special birthday. We hired the private dining room and Raj and his team went above and beyond to look after 24 guests. The food was delicious (and plenty of it), room was beautifully decorated (thank you for the beautiful flowers on the table) and the service was exceptional. A HUGE thank you to CHISTY who looked after us incredibly well. Nothing was too much trouble! We all had a wonderful evening which we are all still talking about - thank you!”

“We host a monthly Inspired Dinner Club where we explore a different restaurant each month for a unique networking experience — and our evening at MemSaab was exceptional. I travelled all the way from West London, and from the moment we arrived, the team made us feel completely at home, like family. The food was amazing, the staff were warm and attentive, and the management went above and beyond to make the evening special. The venue itself created the perfect atmosphere for great conversation and networking. I’d definitely recommend experiencing this incredible place for yourself. Thank you so much to the entire team at MemSaab for such a memorable evening.”
