We have dined in and done take out from Basil India several times now and the service is always…read morevery good. The Lamb Biryani is our all time favorite and consistently delicious. My partner is picky about his lamb but always raves about how tender and well seasoned it is here. This time we wanted to try something new and got the Tom Yum soup and we were pleasantly surprised with how fresh and zesty it was. Their Flaky Paratha comes out hot and pairs so well with every dish. We tried an order of both the garlic butter and mint but discovered the garlic butter is much more flavorful. We always leave feeling full and satisfied! While the food is delightful the restaurant its self has a good amount of wear and tear that could use some sprucing up. Other wise the music creates a nice ambiance to sit and talk while waiting for your meal. We will definitely be back when we are craving Biryani again!

Came here for lunch. I had seen this place reviewed well on google so i thought i would give it a…read moretry. Generally I'm a pretty big fan of spicy foods, so i got the lamb vindaloo. the vindaloo was one of several curries which had a three chilli icon next to it, which seemed to indicate that this dish was spicy. the dish came out fairly quickly and came with rice, and my server was pretty friendly. i also got a paratha since i haven't had any indian bread in a while i felt like the vindaloo was fine. the biggest issue i had was that i really didn't think it was spicy at all, despite the fact that this is supposed to be one of the hotter dishes on the menu. probably adjusted for american palette. another issue i had was that i didn't feel like the vindaloo/curry had much depth to it; it tasted fine but wasn't really rich and was almost a little watery. the lamb itself was okay. the standout was probably the bread, though i kind of wish there was a little more overall i thought it was fine. i thought it was actually fairly pricey for what it was: $18 curry, 5 bread, 3 tax and 4 tip comes out to $30 for just an okay lunch, so... eh. maybe i would come back but it would probably depend on how much i felt like indian and if i was in the neighborhood already

Namaste continues to be my husband and I's absolute favorite Indian restaurant. It is consistently…read moreincredible, which is honestly hard to find. Our go-to order never changes: chicken 65, chili momos, chicken tikka masala, garlic naan, and occasionally mango lassis. Yes, it's a familiar lineup but when every dish is this flavorful, comforting, and perfectly done, there's no reason to switch it up. They truly excel at the classics. We were genuinely worried when they closed for their remodel over the summer but we were so relieved when they reopened. Back and amazing as ever! (I'm pretty sure we were there opening weekend. We could not wait!) The food is still outstanding, and the updated interior is beautiful. They did such a great job with the remodel; it feels fresh, welcoming, and like the perfect setting to enjoy a great meal. Namaste remains our go-to every time we're craving Indian food. Consistent, delicious, and always worth the visit. Five stars without hesitation!!

Second time coming here. I ordered the chicken chow mein. Warning it is a little bit spicy, but it…read morewas good! Lots of flavor in this dish.

The service was good and I look forward to coming back!

Everything I've tried…read morehas been delicious, and I've tried many things I've never had before because of my faith in their kitchen. I will say I want to update my review in regards to service. It can be lackluster sometimes! For me it's been like 2/3rds of my visits (and I come here a lot) have fine-to-good service and then 1/3rd it's quite slow and inattentive. Some of my good visits have been while they've been busy--so I'm not sure what causes the difference in service outside of obviously who's on staff that day and how they're feeling about being at work lol. But yeah overall service is fine imo after ~35 visits

Absolutely NOT! I came here on a Saturday night craving some Lamb Korma. I'm new to the area and…read morewas tired of having to drive all the way to Saint Louis for good ethnic food, so I decided to give them a try. BIG mistake. I paid $21 (after tax) for a bowl of curry sauce and lamb leavings. There was barely any meat in the bowl. For $21?!?!?!ABSOLUTELY NOT! If they ran out of lamb they should've just said so. Needless to say, I won't be back. No wonder the restaurant was empty on a Saturday night. As for the taste, the curry sauce was decent. It would've been great if it came with lamb though. As for the ambiance, their lighting looks like they're trying to conserve energy. It's dark in all the wrong places. It's just dark and red, no vibe. I hope this helps someone. It would be ideal if it helped the restaurant figure their way around decreasing profit margins. Charge more, but make sure there's actually meat in bowl. Do better.

The biscoff shake was nothing short of amazing. But the real star was the pizza. A really solid crust, heaps of gooey cheese, the right proportion of ingredients to allow the flavors to pop (and good quality ingredients to boot), and a wonderful curry masala sauce. This is how fusion cuisine is supposed to be- the best of both worlds that comes together in a way that is both new and comfortably familiar. Staff was polite and service was fast. I can't wait to bring my family next time. I have some picky eaters and some adventurous eaters (I also have serious food allergies) and there is something here for everyone.
