MemSaab - Atul Kochhar

It's all happening at MemSaab.

After allegedly assaulting a fellow diner with cutlery the TV presenter Chris Tarrant was arrested in his hotel room by "Four flak-jacketed police officers". He is apparently "bemused" by the incident.

From the 4th to the 7th of June, Atul Kochhar (gasp!), the first Indian chef to achieve a Michelin star (he now has two!) will be making a guest appearance at MemSaab. This is an opportunity not to be missed and I will be going along on the 5th to sample the great man's work.

MemSaab has become one of the most exciting and innovative restaurants in the city in the last couple of years. They always seem to be doing something new and interesting.

I was practically married to The Laguna (just round the corner) before MemSaab came. I remember when just prior to our first trip to India Tony, the manager, gave me the address of his uncle in New Delhi "in case you have any trouble". That's what I call service.

It feels like a betrayal or an infidelity - to change your local curry house! I'm posessed by guilt and remorse but I think it has happened.
