There is a kind of certainty that one will always eat well at Memories of India and it is a comforting thought, especially if you are in a state of near-exhaustion after spending the day at the nearby Royal Albert Hall, Kensington Palace or the National History Museum. The restaurant's minimalist touches have drawn in a truly appreciative clientele, here there is none of the decorative clutter that sometimes abound in Indian restaurants, and the relatively narrow dining space leads to a conservatory style seating area at the rear.

A diner's eye is naturally drawn to the tandoori selection and those who want a little bit of it all could try the maharaja mixed grill of tandoori chicken, chicken and lamb tikka, lamb chops and seekh kebabs. Fish lovers might prefer a sylheti fisher folk style curry, or king prawn bhuna simmered in a medium hot sauce with fresh spices, onions, tomatoes and capsicum. Finish with some super sweet creations like gulab jamun, milk dumplings soaked in sweet syrup.
