Memories of India - Gloucester Road

Our second time there after an amazing first time where the food was excellent and the waiting staff friendly and professional. This time around, the food was still good, but our waiter was not! His manner was abrupt and offhand and he didn't seem at all interested in obliging in any way. When I asked for a pint of Cobra, he asked if I wanted a bottle; not a terrible mistake, but symptomatic of a lack of attention and interest. I also asked if a main dish on the menu was available as a side and received a response that seemed to reflect irritation that I'd asked. I have no issue with the dish not being available as a side, but most restaurants are able to adapt in this way ergo, it was not an unreasonable request. Later when three of us had finished our deserts, he started to take our empty plates away while my wife was still eating. When this was pointed out to him, he had to be asked a second time to leave the empty plates alone and was abjectly unapologetic. After we had all finished eating he approached us and threw the bill wallet onto the table between my wife and sister without so much as a word. When I had settled the bill, (no gratuity added for obvious reasons), he threw the receipt onto the table aggressively and walked off again without a word. We arrived on time, and did not take an inordinate amount of time enjoying our meals so this apparent hurrying approach was totally unwarranted. The rest of the staff seemed very nice but I think it unlikely that Memories of India will see us again.

Delcicious food and drinks, felt like ive been transported with the spices and decor

The best experience I’ve had in some time and very welcoming ppl

Another great experience. Every time we visit Memories of India we have a very enjoyable meal.

Pleasant relaxing place to enjoy a well presented meal. Service was good and was happy to leave a tip

I loved the rogan josh and lemon rice - so flavoursome. My wife had the chicken curry and also lemon rice and she thoroughly enjoyed this. Can’t fault the service either

We decided to sample several curry’s and rices from the extensive menu and shared these between us. I highly rate the food here

Really enjoyed the food here. Tried the green curry for the first time and was great together with the lemon rice with another side of fries. Attentive service

What a choice! So much variety to try something a little different. Busy but a good atmosphere

Great food, nice choice in the menu, efficient service, friendly staff

This was a very good restaurant until they decided to put a service charge on the bill and then expect you to add a tip. Absolutely unacceptable.

Very Nice food, good service. Would go back. Thank you.

Food was great along with the service. We will return again.

Wonderful food, waiter seemed impatient that we were ordering several dishes to share. If eating before a show, allow plenty of time.

Excellent meal which my wife and i enjoyed very much - the chicken shashlik was one of the best we have had!

Lovely authentic taste. So glad we found one as they most restaurants have gone modern with random food.

Excellent food especially the samosas and bhajis. The service was excellent and the staff looked after us very well.

Food is delicious, very good value The service is excellent, very nice people Feels truly like a nice restaurant in India I live in this area but I had never been before, so glad I decided to come!

I have been in this restaurant since early 90s. All great as 25 years ago.

We did have a very nice time, food was good , service was good, weather was good!!

friendly staff and very welcoming , food is too expensive for my taste buds.

Good tasting food in an amicabke setting served with a smile. Constant flow of takeout orders created a chill with the door frequently open. It is however understandable as restaurants are trying to survive.

Excellent menu and wine list. Friendly staff and great ambience. Would highly recommend.

Had a great time at this restaurant,just what you want good food and good happy people serving you even more so in these precarious times for businesses.

Couldn’t fault the service which is second to none. Food was ten out of ten.

I am a flight attendant with a major airline who travels to London frequently. Crews at my airline as well as a few others go to Memories on a regular basis. After trying many other Indian restaurants we always go back here because the food, atmosphere and especially the staff is superb! It feels like home. We are treated so well and the Indian food is the best I have had anywhere.

Amazing service with amazing food. Will certainly be going back.

Delicious, flavorful food. Intimate dining experience! I would definitely recommend this place!
