Though i didn't dine in but the place looked clean and well maintained and overall had a great ambiance and feel to it. It's definitely worth a try and I will surely come back for another meal.

The gravy/sauce had a punchy flavor and had some indian herbs/spices in there. I could tell it was made from scratch. Sometimes the best places are family run hole in the wall restaurants.

Surprisingly, although we were there on a Friday night, we were the only patrons throughout our meal. According to a member of the staff (possibly the chef?), the establishment had been running as a carry-out-only operation for some time, due to difficulties finding waitstaff. A great pity, as there were a good number of very pleasant seating options, and our server was quite friendly and accommodating. Next, the service: as the only diners in the place, we got full attention. Food came out soon enough. And as for said food: very nice. I ordered the lamb, which came with rice. The co-diner got a red lentil dumpling, in a cashew cream sauce. Both entrees were very well prepared, and (in my case) in a sufficiently large quantity that I took some home. We ordered naan, which was fluffy and very tasty. We were happy to have leftovers to take with us. All in all, we were glad to discover Basil Indian Bistro, and look forward to our next visit.

It's a bit slow. The chili fries are yummy, spicy. The chicken kafta is dry, still very fragrant and flavorful. It's better with the cilantro chutney and the yogurt sauce makes it more palatable as well. The gobi chili is okay, the chili sauce with the fries is what we expected the gobi chili to taste like, it's different here, still not too bad. The rice isn't my favorite, it's small grain, not the basmati rice I was expecting. It seems dry and almost disintegrates upon adding the tadka Dahl to it. The potato and pea masala is really good. A small portion comes with the dosa masala. The tadka Dahl is runny and the lentils are pulverized to bits, it has more of a soup consistency to it. The dosa is very crispy, maybe too crispy for me. The dosa is good with the mango chutney. The Chana masala was ok. Not quite the flavoring I was expecting or hoping for though. The service here is good, just slow to get the food out. The chili fries were the best out of everything we ordered tonight. They could use this seasoning on the gobi and it would make it so much better.

He came by twice even though we told him we were not interested in anything from the bar. The crispy corn baby corn was excessive in crispiness. It fell apart as we were taking bites. The Malai Kofta gravy/sauce was AMAZING. There were only maybe three balls, and they seemed like a package mix that was not mixed well. The Tikka gravy/sauce was AMAZING as well. With the paneer dishes, they could have put in a little more paneer than what they did, and especially for the price. The place was decorated nicely, and we met the kind owner when we were sitting down. We will be back again. Anxious to see if trip #2 is even better.

I ordered the thumsup, pickle, and shrimp masala with my sister and two friends. The thumsup and masala were excellent but when I tried a bite of the pickle it was very salty. So salty that it was immediately apparent I was not going to have any more of it. I requested to send that side dish back. The server said they would ask. Then they returned and said they would not take it back. For real. They upset a customer over a $3 side dish that I only took a tiny bite from, and the taste of it was upsetting enough. So their response did cast a pall over the entire dining experience for me. I love the food but the staff exposed their lack of care for the customer experience and that is irksome. I also might add that we handed them our water pitcher earlier in the evening to be refilled but it never came back. I had to ask for more water for the table right after they had refused to take the side dish back.

My favorite appetizers were the onion and spinach pakora.They had very good flavor, weren't very oily and reheated well. The poori came with two pieces and were perfect. The potato that came with them was a hit with the entire table. If you like spicy food, it had perfect amount of spice. For dinner we ordered curry leaf chicken and curry lamb and they were both exceptional. We also ordered the andhra bryiani. That was a hit for our table but I'd of preferred the hyd bryiani. The andhra one had almost a butter chicken type of boneless chicken for its base.

The regular place has no seating except benches to wait for your food, but you can go to the Gift of India Cafe two doors down and there is seating there. There are non-vegetarian, vegetarian, and I believe there are also vegan options per the sign on their door. The pizza option comes in two sizes: medium and large. I don't believe they have a 'personal' size and are not by the slice either. The large is HUGE, I recommend getting half and half of flavors to try them. The dough is soft, not too thick and not too thin, and they will ask if you want their spicy and green sauces with cilantro on top. I recommend it for flavor and aesthetic purposes! We got the chicken tikka and chicken 65 for our half and half large pizza. We also wanted a vegetarian option and thus opted for the Paneer tikka wrap/ rolls. The rolls can come as 2 rolls per order. The rolls are also packed with product and flavor, and they are wrapped with paratha which was buttery and held itself up well. The pizza was everything and more! The cafe area was not busy when we came and had a good amount of seating in it. The cafe area is clean and has a little mural wall featuring Indian food staples on it. There are both high and regular height chairs/ tables to sit in.

My favorite was the chicken wrap, especially alongside the pani puri. We also got a lamb bowl, it was decent, just not my favorite flavor-wise, but still good if you enjoy lamb. They were out of chicken masala, which I definitely want to come back and try. Only one gal was working, had lots of orders coming in but she was nice. Inside, there wasn't a sitting area or tables, but we got it togo so wasn't a big deal for us. Prices weren't too bad, but I've had better overall. I'd rate it a 3.5/5.

What's funny is I didn't…read moreknow they had a lunch buffet, and my friend had really been wanting one, so that was a bonus! They unfortunately did not have chicken tikka masala or butter chicken, but they had a veggie paneer dish, some salad and other appetizers, a chicken mukhani (sp?), tandoori chicken, gulab jamun, and other desserts. With tax it was about $16pp, which I found to be very reasonable considering that Indian food is usually about that amount just for one entree. My friend and I arrived around 1:00 p.m. and left around 3:00 p.m., I think they must close for a few hours because they had turned the lights out. Ambiance-wise, I wouldn't say this restaurant is anything special, which is why I'm giving it four stars instead of five, but the food was very good so I would go back again for the buffet. I feel like post-COVID it's very hard to find buffets in this area, especially Indian buffets, so this was a nice treat.

I finally asked if she could check with the kitchen to see how much longer my order would take. She simply said, "They must still be working on it," and turned her back on me. Then she went to help other customers and came back about five minutes later, still without saying anything to me. I asked again if she would please check on my order, and she said no, that she was busy. Honestly, someone that indifferent and unhelpful should not be the person greeting customers.
