Service: if I was basing the review off of service it would be a one star. Because not only was it slow, it almost felt non existent. I came here with my parents and we would've ordered more if we could get a server to our table. It's not even that big of a place, but the servers hung out by the reception area and weren't even looking up. We had to wait a while for drinks, then wait another while to order. There are a ton of other Indian restaurants that are so much more attentive, even if it's crowded, which this place was not. Ambiance: feels like they tried to be upscale, unnecessary in my opinion. Just serve good food and make sure your servers are paying attention and that's more than enough. It's not a spot I would come back to.

Ordered dosa, samosa, Gobi Manchurian, chick pea salad, dal tadka and dal makhani, butter chicken, navratina korma, and Chana masala. $117.56 The Samosa, butter chicken and chick pea salad are all good. The samosa is maybe a bit too heavy and doughy. The potato and peas are mashed inside. The cilantro chutney is good, spicy too. Butter chicken is tasty. The chick pea salad is just fresh and yummy. Dosa was okay, not loving the tomato or coconut chutneys so much. Sambar soup is good. The dal makhani and Chana was not for either of us. Makhani is super buttery and runny. The Chana has a very unexpected taste and look, the sauce it's cooked in is quite brown here. The dal tadka, korma and Gobi were just okay. Both lentils are super runny. The korma isn't too bad. Their version has tofu in it. Sauce is good. Not a lot of veggies to it. Gobi was crispy, but their chili sauce is not so good. My husband usually favors the Chana masala, but he wasn't fond of their version so much. Would skip the Chana, Gobi and the dal makhani and maybe even the dal tadka next time. Service here is good.

I had wanted to try this place when it was in Bloomfield Hills, and I did not even realize they had…read moreclosed it. I was aching to try some pizza dipped in butter chicken and I had a couple slices left from the other night. In my typically fashion, I ordered quite a bit. We got four main dishes, butter chicken, chicken korma, spinach and cheese (it had a different name than what I was used to), and aloo gobhi. We also got the potato samosas, that also had a different name than what I am familiar with, and their dessert donuts soaked in sugar syrup. We also tried three types of naan, plain, cheese, and potato. The people working here seemed nice. It was a carry-out, so I only interacted for a moment. I also liked the prices compared to other places in the area, they seemed to be a few dollars less per dish, which can make a difference. The portions were also very generous. They gave us so much rice and we already ate the food for two complete meals and there is still a lot left. On the other hand, the food was only okay, not my favorite compared to other places I have been in the past. I feel like it actually tasted better the second day, but all of the dishes had sort of an off taste. The potato samosas almost tasted like they had mayo in it, and their sauce tasted like mustard, neither of those flavors I associate with this type of cooking. The dishes were a bit sweet, as also reported on Yelp. I feel like the star of the show was the potato naan, very good, but the cheese was cheddar and it showed a white cheese online. To be honest, I am not sure I will be back leaning toward a one and done situation.

So happy I was able to try this place recently. I ordered takeout for myself and a few others and…read morewe loved it. We ended up going with the chicken korma and the basmati rice.

My best friend and I used to go to the gym in the same plaza, then immediately undo at least some of that responsible behavior by coming here for lunch or dinner. Balance, right? I usually get the butter chicken, which I know is a classic choice, but theirs is the best I've had after trying quite a few places. Rich, comforting, flavorful, and exactly what I want it to be every time. The service is also incredibly fast. It feels like you blink and your food is there, but in a reassuring way, not a "should I be concerned?" way. Dining in is especially worth it because the portions are generous. I usually have enough to eat there and still take home another two or three servings. Their mango lassi is amazing, and absolutely spring for the garlic cheese naan. It is the best. Overall vibe is relaxed and friendly.

We really enjoy the food here, and the ambiance is nice. Good enough that, for our anniversary…read moredinner, we decided to come here since we had given up meat for Lent and the Indian vegetarian options are great. Our server, Harshi, was very kind and had some good suggestions. We had never gotten south Indian food at Rangoli before, but we thought about trying a dosa, and she said we'd like it. Well, we did like it! They have a thicker dosa we will try next time (rangoli spicy dosa), but we went for the onion chili dosa, which is the regular thinness. Perfectly crisp and not greasy, just as good as any Indian street food place that specializes in them. And the onions in the name are not messing around - there must have been an entire bunch of chopped scallions in there! Loved it. The sambar was good, although I've never been excited by sambar. The tomato chutney and coconut chutney were both great additions. Before I get back to the food, I should mention the live music, which we were not expecting. During dinner, there was Bollywood playing on TVs around the restaurant. I thought it was a nice touch- not too loud, but colorful and pleasant. As we were paying, an Indian man was setting up to play an acoustic guitar. I wanted to leave before he started playing so we wouldn't have to offend him by leaving while he was playing. But he started before my credit card had been processed. I'm glad he did! It was an adaptation of Mr. Tambourine Man - I like it almost as much as the Byrds version. So we stayed and listened for a few more songs. Another Dylan song (with harmonica on a neck holder and everything), then another song or two, a Beatles song, and finally Creedence Clearwater Revival! We had to get home to the babysitter or I would have happily stayed longer. We enjoyed the gobi manchurian, although it wasn't quite as crispy as other variations we've had. Excellent taste. It also didn't have as much sugar and red color as some, which is probably a good thing. We know we like the palak paneer here, and it did not disappoint. Those little cubes of paneer are tremendous. I really liked the baingan bharta. My wife thought the clove flavor was too forward - I'm less sensitive to that taste, so it didn't bother me at all. Just to make sure we ordered double what we could eat, we added an onion kulcha. Perfection.

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.

The Chicken Tikka Masala was absolute perfection, velvety, creamy, and hit the perfect spice level. The naan was also excellent, fresh and pillowy. However, I was really disappointed with the Lamb Biryani. The meat was unfortunately dry, extremely fatty, and lacked flavor. I'd previously tried the Butter Chicken, which was decent, so there's definitely potential here if you order the right thing. Pros: Massive parking lot and plenty of indoor seating. They have a buffet! (Didn't realize this until we arrived, but a great perk). Food is well-packaged for takeout. Cons: Service over the phone was a bit "prickly" and felt rushed. Pro Tip: Read the menu on DoorDash before ordering; it actually provides much better descriptions of the dishes than their official website or Toast.

The carryout was packed well and ready about 15 minutes after my online order. They do have a drive-thru, if that interests you. The chicken dishes were fantastic and came with Basmati.
