Basmati Restaurant

Reviews

   We've eaten at Basmati and also had takeaway a number of times and they've never let us down in the slightest! Top quality Indian and Bengali cuisine with a wide variety of dishes to suit every person's personal flavour and spice preferences. The service is incredible, attentive, welcoming and friendly and yet staff disappear into the background so you feel like you're dining in a little private bubble with your guests. Particularly loved the Shatkora Tenga, an unusual dish to find in western curry houses, that was beautifully prepared. The mixed kebab starter is consistently fabulous, with juicy tender meat cooked to perfection. Basmati offers excellent value for money and food for collection as well as dining in - try it, you will not regret it!

   I chose to dine at this Indian restaurant due to its proximity to where I was staying. The mixed grill platter was delightful, featuring juicy and tender selections. For the main course, I enjoyed the chicken tikka biryani, which was served with a vegetable curry on the side — both were exceptional, earning a perfect score of 10 out of 10. The condiments were pleasantly sweet. They accept both card and cash payments. Overall, the food was fantastic. I highly recommend this restaurant.

   Visiting a friend who insisted we have dinner here. Lovely choice it was. From the street it's rather unimposing. Once inside the decor inside is a pleasant surprise. Quite upscale. The service was on point one would expect from a higher level of dining. Our starters was a paneer tikka and along with Afghan chana nasala with Puri. Quite tasty. The heat was on the mild side . It may be tailored to local tastes. As even the mains were not particularly spicy. Don't get me wrong... It was very flavourful. For the mains we had Goan chicken curry and Kohari lamb with a side of fish biryani. I was a bit surprised a place this swanky did not serve the rice in it's traditional clay pot. The chicken was moist which I can't fully say about the lamb. good thing the flavours saved the day. I really enjoyed the fish in the biryani. My friends really were impressed with the food. And we all walked out very satisfied.

   One of the best curry places I have been so far, the place, the food itself, the staff, everything it was just spotless and faultless for us tonight. The place itself its very new, clean, with a good atmosphere on, nice decor overall. Staff very friendly and not annoying like in other places and very engaging. The food, wow, they have this offer on for £18 for poppadom, one starter and a curry, which is absolutely a lot of food at this decent price, but the taste itself also very very flavourful, naan bread very fluffy too. Good sizes in all the portions. Definitely it’s one of our favourite now and will come back with a pleasure. Good variety of drinks too.

   The tables are a bit too close together for my liking especially if you get a noisy crowd next to your table. The waiters appeared to lack training, the tandoori chicken was overcooked and the curries were runny. The rest of the the meal was acceptable but all things considered it was probably overpriced.

   Friendly and efficient service, great atmosphere and really busy for an early Sunday evening. We each had different chicken curry based dishes and shared them including lovely pilau rice and garlic naan. Cracking poppadoms and dips too. Excellent service and food, we will return.

   3 of us went there on a Friday and the food was absolutely lovely. I had a lamb biryani with vegetable curry. My friends had another curry and sizzling meats with garlic rice etc. The service and staff were wonderful and the restaurant, although busy, had a great atmosphere. My friend and I went back on Sunday evening as it had been so good and although it was a lot quieter the food and experience were the same. I was visiting friends and dont live near, but I will visit the Basmati Restaurant when lI am here.

   Enjoyed the food, service was fairly quick and didn't take long for it to arrive. Standard size portions. We sat in the quieter area near to the entrance, which was good for us. Would recommend you try it.
