Memsaab

Has anyone tried this new Indian delivery service from Mimram Road? I have tried it twice over the last couple of weeks and it is very good for the prices (£20 for two starters, two main meals, a rice and Bindi Bhajee). Excellent and quick delivery service (20-25 minutes on a Friday and a Saturday). Very friendly and helpful on phone. Unusual dishes I have not seen before. Also get free poppadoms with all the dips you get in a restaurant. I have never had that before from a takeaway.[8D][8D][8D]

Menu? Telephone number? Is is a takeaway or just a delivery service? Thanks. Hope you are not feeding little Wrapper with Indian food already. Think of the nappies!!!!!

I mentioned this before I had one over Christmas and all I could taste was salt. Perhaps a bad night? Anyone else tried them?

Sorry Rooster. The menu got put through the door. If I get another I will bring it down the Horse as we haven't brought little wrapper down there yet.

You need to put your reply at the very end, not in the middle. This means that you may have to scroll down to get to the end of the post you're replying to if it's quite long [:)]

We tried this for the first time the other day. Overall not highly impressed. Our feeling was that the rather exotic descriptions on the menu were a bit OTT and the food was a bit luke warm by the time we'd got it home from their outlet which is almost impossible to find. Maybe home delivery would be better and that is their main business. Free poppadoms yes, but for me it's the rest of the food that counts.

I have never seen this establishment and I've been down Mimran Road more than enough times to go to Graphic Nature. I'll have a better nosey around next time and see if I can spot it!

I just had a pizza from them today and it's easy to find if you know where you're going. Park up outside County Fires and then walk down the side of it with the blue fairy lights. It's the last door on the left (at least I think it is) and it has a sign outside it. The do Pizza, Indian and chicken I think.

What did you think of the pizzas not tried them - better than Dominos (not difficult!)

Planet Foods - the name behind Memsaab - makes amazing Pizzas. I had one last night, and recommend one for anyone who can't afford to eat out yet can afford the odd takeaway on a budget without the hassle of cooking at home. [url="http://www.planet-foods.com/pizza.htm"]Planet Foods Pizza[/url]

The kitchen is viewable from the waiting area. Nothing to hide. I like that.

Their chicken dansak is by far the best in Hertford:

  • the lentils retain texture and colour;
  • the meat is succulent not dry,
  • and the flavour penetrates the dish, being nicely spiced with a balance of hot, sweet and sour.

I went for what has become my benchmark - a Bhuna. It tasted very good, but did seem very saucy i.e. no fresh peppers added in as I've found at other places. I'll certainly use them again. On another note a chef friend of mine was interested to know whether they could put chicken jalfrezi on one of their pizzas. He was thrilled to that they could, and it's not an uncommon request apparently!

I ordered a pizza again last night - double pepperoni, beef and pineapple. It was one of the best I have had and although it took an hour to arrive it was worth the wait.

I'd like to hear any more comments about this place. When I visited almost a year ago I was put off by the fact that it was difficult to find. I felt then also that the food wasn't quite up to the standard of the Raj, but not too bad. Any regular users out there?

Hi All, we have used Memsaabs quite a few times and have always enjoyed the food and found it to be good value. We always collect as we don't live too far away and you get an extra discount if you collect.

Perhaps I missed it on their website, but it appears they do not offer either Madras or Vindaloo choices. I therefore cannot take them seriously.

Of course they do both .

They do both, click on the word curries under the header Traditional Curry Classics. Not very obvious though!

Even less obvious which is which when you receive it. Memsaabs is nice enough, but it's a bit bland, as if all the really expensive ingredients have been ommitted. Recommended for those who find most Indian food too rich and complex.

I usually find that's the case with most indian food in the area these days. I wish we could resurrect The Guru!
