Mem-Saab

Have been to this restaurant on several occasions now and have always had a positive experience. I really like the lounge area where you can peruse the menu and order when ready while having a drink and a natter. This is all very relaxed. The food has always been very good, very tasty, well spiced. One of my favourite Indian restaurants.

So shocked and extremely disappointed by this. We only ordered an hour ago and feel the need to express how upset we are.

Two different dishes but were identical - the look, the smell, the taste...they were both tomato over-spiced, over-salted slop. Nothing creamy, nutty, fruity, coconut or authentic about them.

The meat was ok, and the staff were friendly but that hasn't satisfied us and we've spent the best part of £30 which could have been much better best spent elsewhere.

I'm not sure how they won a Chef Award... we've travelled the world and country eating at exquisite fine dining and award winning restaurants and this was a million miles short of that.

Seriously disappointed.
So very, very upset with this.

Good food, polite staff. The Sunday buffet is superb value. £14.50 for all you want, the food is very tasty, fresh and has a great variety. The live Jazz was a wonderful touch too. My only issue was the starters are so delicious it's hard to leave room for the mains!

Too many Indian restaurants serve bland food where all the dishes taste the same. Here, things are different, with every dish being unique, and the meat quality is excellent - whether chicken or lamb. If I have a criticism, it's the slightly restrictive takeaway menu and the fact they don't open on Sundays.

Overall, though, a superb place to eat in, and well above average for takeaways.

Nice and clean and spacious. The staff were friendly and willing to go through the menu. The service were very good and not at all intrusive. Food was also cooked really well and tasted great! Would definitely recommend.

We are visitors to Northampton and were taken here by our hosts. They live in Wellingborough and we have known them for years. We did come here about 3 years ago and the quality of the experience and the food is still absolutely excellent. The staff are attentive without it being overbearing, the food is varied and tasty but given its a buffet really fresh. Well done for keeping a good consistent standard with a smile.

Went for the first time and I wasn’t overly impressed. The chicken and lamb was lacking flavour on the sizzler. The rogan josh had bland chicken in. Bhuna was too dry. The service went from one extreme to other. Firstly, constantly being asked if we were ready for things to asking for the bill and it taking ages to come despite it not being busy and having to ask 2 people for it. Won’t be returning

I’ve always ordered from Mem Saab because of the quality and taste of the food. Mem Saab is more expensive than other takeaways but I’ve always ordered from them as I prefer to pay extra for the taste.
Extremely disappointed tonight. Jalfrezi was bland and the tandoori chicken was plain. The lemon rice tasted of nothing.
The onion chutney was good and that’s about the only positive I have.
Meal for two cost just under £30 and I feel terribly ripped off as it was not an enjoyable meal.
