  ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Had a fantastic experience at Basmati Restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious, full of flavour and clearly made with care. The presentation was beautiful – every dish looked as good as it tasted. The atmosphere was warm, welcoming and perfect for a relaxed meal, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. From start to finish everything was spot on. Highly recommend and will definitely be returning!

  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.

  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.

  We ordered our mains by 7pm, and while we had to leave by 8pm, we thought we’d at least receive our meal in that time, especially as we were not informed of any wait. We left and paid for what we had received after an hour of waiting for the mains. When we explained our situation the server blamed us for not telling them we had to go by 8. It felt like the servers were avoiding our table after 30 minutes of waiting so by the time we could get their attention, we had to go. It is not professional to not inform customers of food that takes longer than 45 minutes to be prepared. This was my first visit to Basmati and I might have given it another go in the future, and made up for not being the perfect customer, if not for the server’s challenging attitude. Disappointing visit because I hear the food is good here, and I know it’s not an easy job, but I don’t want to feel insulted when I go out to eat.

  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!
