Memsaab

[bonaome]

Not sure if under new(ish) management? or a perhaps a new chef? - but Memsaab has properly upped its game. Last 4 or 5 orders from there have been really very, very good. Everything just seems fresher, with more distinctive flavours. Little garnishes have started to appear - e.g. the sprinkle of fresh coriander on tonight's Bombay aloo and the small round of (I think, and perhaps incongruously) preserved lemon with the chana masala. Someone is definitely giving it a bit of extra love in that kitchen. Delicious!

same as Mirash Tandoori all getting a lot better and if you order on just eat you get 30% off now that's a great deal

[Sue]

Good to know! We had transferred our affections to Mirash, but perhaps we will try Memsaab again.

[ken78]

now only 20% off but still a good deal

Memsaab was my Favorite but had some disappointing sit in meals. 4 or 5.

I did give them a chance.

Rice was over cooked and too strong cloves..

I have stayed away for 5 - 6 weeks. used to go twice a week + Home Deliveries.

I had thought that they had a different Chef as Poppadoms and Naans were also not so good.

I'm a little embarrassed to go back.

I've complained to Just Eat in the past and never got a refund 🙄

Try Mirash, Foxy.

I thought Memsaab had gone downhill, but maybe if they have got a new chef I might try them again, but in my recent experience Mirash is much better.

sue did you phone just eat ??? if the whole meal was no good you get a full refund but if only some of it was no good you get a refund for what was no good

[sandyman]

Are the Just Eat prices the same as the prices if you order directly from the restaurant? We had a voucher for deliveroo a while ago so tried to order a Thai but the range of dishes on offer seemed limited and looked like they were different prices to the normal prices.

[KidKruger]

Credit to any food establishments having to try and provide quality food while cutting their prices by a third (or a fifth).

I wonder, after these reductions, how much is left for them and their staff.

Must be tough going.

I though about Mirash BUT they have a notice in the window saying that due to Covid Restrictions

they Have to close by 10.00 PM for Eat-in but still take delivery orders until 11.00 pm,

Not sure if you can go in for a Take Away.

Do not understand why they have to close by 10.00 pm.

Sounds a bit like an excuse.

if the prices are more than the shop then just eat WILL refund the different as i have done this before ON JUST EAT, it goes in your account so when you make another order go to your account and use your refund

Yes. They said they would get back to me. They never did.

Went back to Memsaab last night.

I had 2 Popadoms with Pickles.. Pillau Rice.. King Prawn Madras.. Puri Bread..

All was delightful.

I had complained about their Rice on 3 - 4 previous occassions..

The Rice has much improved.. (Nice individual grains)

The King Prawn was delicious and Big portion. (Really exceptional)

Memsaab has returnd to it's former excellent standard.

I would strongly advise anyone who has had a bad experience in the past few months to give it another go.

i use them every week now

[ken78]

had a curry from them last night sorry to say not good at all some of the order never came phoned the restaurant and they said would make it up to me on the next order..... i think if i get any more food from them i will only pay 1/2 and tell them i will make it up to them on the next order do you think that's ok

[Sephiroth]

worth noting that if you order via justeat/deliveroo etc, regardless of how good the deal is to you, the restaurant takes a 20-30% hit. Obviously everyone expects places to use these services so they feel they have to participate - but if they take orders directly, then all the money goes to them

[ken78]

no one makes them use just eat and if you look on the restaurant web sit the prices are cheaper i have done this and just have refunded me
