Memsaab
12–14 Maid Marian Way Nottingham NG1 6HS
Like every other major British city, Nottingham has a small army of Asian restaurants, but Memsaab beats its rivals hands-down with the quality of its cuisine and the excellence of the ingredients. A choice and well-thought-out menu includes such tasty delights as chicken karahi (chicken thigh braised in garlic, ginger, tomatoes and red chilies) and the mouth-watering zaika gosht – slow-cooked lamb flavoured with cardoman and whole spice. The modern premises are large and spacious – no crowded tables here – and the service is first-rate.
