Memories of India Osterley

"I don't like leaving negative reviews but I'm really disappointed this time. Not sure if there has been change in the ownership or the chef. It was more like Bangladeshi food than Indian. The food is not the same anymore. The chicken was vile, either overcooked or not good quality. Won't be ordering again."

"The poppadoms were the best. One of the dishes was not so nice. It was dry and looked like it had just been heated up from frozen it was a vegetarian green kebab but had no taste and very small portion. Expected it all to be nice talking into account price But I still enjoyed it. The rest of the food was lovely."

"I had probably the best lamb biryani here tonight. The flavours were superb, the Lamb was tender and melted in my mouth. Memories of India is clearly in a class of its own. The decor actually is from Rajastan, two notable pieces caught my eye, both could have been in a museum. The overall service was excellent. Only a short drive from Richmond. Wife and kids loved it too."

"Food was satisfactory, they got our order wrong for starters. The red wine was open too long we had to request a new bottle. There are no changing facilities for babies here. Over priced for what you get. We booked a table for 2pm, they close at 2.30pm on Sundays so we were rushed through my parents anniversary lunch, don't book a table for 2pm if they not going to acoomadate you staying for a couple of hours."

"The restaurant ambience is nice and welcoming. The Indian hand crafted doors placed around the restaurant brings a very nice touch to the decor. The staffs were reasonably courteous to host us. I ordered chicken chaat, king prawn puri and Murgh Seek kebab for starters, except for the kebabs rest of the starters tasted very good. The kebabs lack flavour and they are not served with right punchy sauce to dip in as well. For main course I ordered the Seabass tandoori, and chicken balti.I was told sea bass would be seasoned with spice , however it wasn't thoroughly seasoned. Also de-boning the whole Seabass was a bit of an hassel, my kid got a fish bone stuck in her throat as well for a brief amount of time. I would have preferred a deboned fillet then the whole Seabass ,as the experience of taking one bone after another was very exhausting. I wouldn't order this again here .Tandoori are generally marinated to absorb flavour, however here the tandoori fish felt like it wasn't marinated for long as it lacked flavour in it.Overall experience was mediocre, not something I would rave to another friend."
